You know, people always talk about men's unrealistic expectations of the female body caused by the media. Fact is, women are just as bad.WarriorsCreed
Honestly, they are probably worse.
I have been prousing the online dating scene and it is a wee bit ridiculous.
When ever women specify what they want in a guy, it is some tall, usually bearded man.
I have had everything point to me and girls being a good match (answered questions similarly, similar interests and goals, etc.) and yet STILL won't even get so much as a reply when I message them....
Hell, I had a girl IRL constantly texting me, calling me on a semi-daily basis to talk about her day, and we were hanging out quite often and I STILL got rejected when I asked her out (granted she turned out to be a bad person with the **** she came out with so it didn't really matter anyways as it made her completely un-dateable to me)...
I find no issue with people being picky. It might result in fewer options, but the options will have a higher chance of success (happiness) Being picky is fine. Hell, I'm picky. I'm just picky in a very different way. It's when people are picky to the point of delusion that the problem occurs. People see some gorgeous actor, or victoria's secret model, or whatever, and they go "that's what I want." And they hold everyone to the same ridiculous, unatainable standard. Seriously, even media stars don't look like that when they haven't spent two hours on makeup and hair, and have a professional lighting crew to boot. I also disagree with you when you say that the options are more likely to bring them happiness. How many movie stars (or people in the same percentile of physical attractiveness) do you know that are more than a pretty face? How many find successful and meaningful relationships? So to repeat, my problem with pickyness only occurs in regards to unrealistic expectations of beauty. To be frank, most of the people who are shallow enough to fold to media sexualiztion are not the kind of people that I would want to ascociate with anyway, so in that regard I could care less. But there are a few good people out there who have been lost to the expectations of the stereotypical "hot guy," who might not have been that way otherwise.
