Having had great success with the opposite sex, I can say categorically that I haven't the slightest idea what women look for.

Women are more likely than men to delude themselves. They can have a firm picture of what kind of person they want (and it never occurs to them to ask why this perfect man would have any interest in them) and will not settle for anything less. Then these women wind up at 35, never married, bitter, and still not having a clue.

I have to say I see delusion and unrealistic expectations rampant in both genders.

I'm not sure how that relates to my post at all. I've had remarkable success with women my whole life, and I know that I probably don't live up to a single item on the perfect mate list.
