No doubt better experiences with them lead you to different conclusions. It's probably fair to say that both my bad experiences and your good ones balance out, giving each of us a slightly distorted picture.

You know, I don't think that's it. Most of my experiences with very goodlooking women have been very good. Seems like most of yours haven't been so good. Go figure.

I came back from a party a little while ago, but I can't sleep.

I can't help but laugh at some of the responses here. I'm attracted to manners and intellect. But there's something extraordinary about good manners – such a simple thing – and yet, powerful enough to bring out the best in us.

I'm always nice to people and they are usually nice to me. However, there are some who seem to run away, hide and even gossip without ever trying to talk to me. Should I care about that? I don't think so. I'm a happy person, and I like to keep that way.

I avoid negativity, because negativity attracts more of the same. I like to surround myself with positive, smart, good hearted people. I like to laugh, but I also like serious conversations as well - so it's hard for me to care about shallow, reality-impaired individuals; and frankly, my dear, I couldn't care less about what those who have developed a case of rectal cranial inversion say about me, LOL.

Anyway, a man with manners, is a man worth knowing.

You've done well with them, and I rarely have, even in terms of getting friendly responses to friendly gestures. You're entitled to conclude that they're nice and I'm equally entitled to conclude that they're shallow (though not necessarily stupid). But I think we're both a little off. The test isn't how they treat you, or more accurately speaking, how they react to you, or to me. The test is how they treat people they don't react to.

David DeAngelo, a dating expert who has some very good advice along these lines, always says that attraction isn't a decision. These women you're so fond of didn't decide to be nice to you. They reacted favorably to you on a gut level because, in some way, shape or form, they found you sexually attractive. Good behavior resulted directly from this, and naturally you thought well of them because of it. This doesn't make you a helpful source on the psychology of beautiful women.

I salute your talents and I'm glad you've had a good time, but most of us don't have such assets, haven't had such a good time, and won't be convinced by your rose-colored view of babes.
