| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/22/2008 12:17:32 PM | Given the chance of it happening,......No way would I overlook a good woman. I'm not picky, so I'm e-z when it comes to looks. Other items are more important. To me; a 'good looking woman' covers 90% of the women on here. I have no problem with almost any 'type' of lady. If more ladies were to contact me, they'd find out what a good man is, and be treated like a lady ought to be. I'm flexible about how she likes to be treated, so I can, and will accomadate the best I am able.
==================================== I'm not sure how this gets interpreted; but here I go. When it comes to the bottom line: This is what I consider as a 'deal breaker' right from the start, when I am 'checking out' a lady...............; 'Will I be happy, or grossed out, when I wake up in the morning and have a fresh look at 'her' sleeping. '
This is very rare, and only happened once when I was real drunk. Looking at her through a terrific hang-over was quite unsettling. | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/22/2008 12:31:37 PM | | What are you considering a good woman? I would like to think most of the women I have met in my life are good women. Some of them/ or all of them were crazy but most of them were good women. | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/22/2008 11:52:53 PM | | Regardless of what anyones responce is for a good man or woman, not everyone will agree and it will continue till the end of time. It will never change. Look at me. I know im a good person, but people will think different just by looking at my pic. Its never going to change so theres no point in arguing it | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 12:02:41 AM | ^^^ Very well put by Noorct.... Online dating is defenatly ALL about looks.. In real life you meet someone you can be drawn to a person on how they carry themself, the vibe you get from them, maybe they have a great since of humor or you feel very comfotable being around that pereson.. Online though you just have a few pics and in a lot of cases ( at least on women profiles) a list of do's and dont's and must haves.. Maybe a profile may say Must not be look'n for.... or must be this height... must be this skin color.. this hair color... this eye color... Love Jesus... love kids... love dogs... Where as in real life we don't walk around with that long list of things in our hand and exchange list when we meet each other. There have been numerous times where I'd be chill'n in the club with my boy's and a chick comes up to me " Hey I your such and such, I seen you on the net" and its a whole new ball game when your talk'n in real life. Your no longer the "Creepy guy on the internet"
As far as overlooking the "Good" guy or girl... Im not quite sure what that is.. If I learned one thing from the internet its that ALL beautiful people are precived to be EVIL, BAD or RETARDS.. LOL All I ever hear on this site is how the sexy guy is just a dog that gets all the women... and the Sexy girls are just Brainless women with no social skills. One of the biggest Players I know is a Big ugly asss dude with a voice like Mickey Mouse LOL Its on UNREAL and you wouldn't belive it unless you seen it with your own eyes. I've met some georgeous women in my life time who were extreemly smart. Shyt I drive down the road 8 min from my house and see georgeous women on the USF campus all the time.. I think that if people kept more of an open mind about things and didn't generalize and sterotype so much, a lot less "Good" people would be over looked | |

|
| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 8:08:13 AM | First if there is a good woman then there has to be a bad one too. And all the shades in between. Why we overlook the good one? because she is so good, that no man can compare and or deserve her, thus she turns men away.... | |
|
| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 9:46:41 AM | Define "good". Doesn't matter if you talking a woman or a man, everyone definition of good will vary.
Finding a good person takes time, you just don't pick one off a shelf. you need to spend time with them, get to know their idiosyncracies, and figur eout if your a good match for you.
I know some good women, but they have unfinished business that makes them less than suitable romantic partners. Other just turn out to be down right nuts, once you get past the initial attraction , and spend some time with them.
It's much easier to just move on , rather than wondering why people pass you over. | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 11:52:11 AM | | This is a weird question. It takes a long time to get to really know someone. Today it seems that people are way into instant gratification and no one is interested into doing the work that a real relationship requires. We have become a very anti-social society, hence we hide behind IM's, emails, etc. | |
|
| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 4:35:16 PM | | frankalank and akmusic I have to totally agree with you guys. I guess now we have to find the definition of a "good woman" | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 5:20:23 PM | Doesn't really matter why...the right man will never overlook the right woman for them and visa versa. I'm glad that the wrong type of man overlooks me, I'm just waiting for the right one. It only takes the one that is right for you. I'm so sick of men that lie through their teeth and try to pretend they're the one for you until they meet someone better! Be glad that the a-holes overlook us great women! I'm soooo sick of the phonies! Patience is the key. Good luck to you, your a very attractive woman and deserve an honest great hearted man!
Keep the Faith girlfriend! Why settle. | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 5:28:44 PM | | This is a very easy question...It's the same from both men and women. It's all about the attraction. No matter how good you are. If you dont have the looks to go with all your goodness your over looked. | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 7:09:11 PM | i agree with the comment that it is best to just move on ....if we take someone moving on from us personally then we are damaged and who needs that? as far as looks....all i have to say is that i am thankful there are men who appreciate women for who they are as well as for what they look like. i mean some men like us thin and some like them a bit "more substantial" and thank the good lord for that. and i have met many men that after getting to meet them i am very attracted to whilst at first glance...perhaps not so much. beauty is so much more than skin deep....and i personally....LOVE THAT! | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/23/2008 8:18:17 PM | Being a "good woman" does not automatically make a woman right for me, just like being a "good guy" doesn't mean I'm right for someone else. There's a hell of a lot of things that go into a relationship, including physical attraction, similar interests, compatible values, and so on and so on.
If all you have to say about yourself is that you're a "good guy" or a "good woman" then you really don't have all that much to offer, really. | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/24/2008 6:00:53 AM | hmm well maybe if they aren't over looking you but their email doesn't give you the warm fuzzies or their picture doesn't strike sparks on your prince charming meter YOU are overlokking them?It could even be that if you converse with them for a time you start thinking there has to be someone who moves faster than this? I get accused of moving tooo slow and of moving too fast so i guess i should hunt middle ground somehow. | |

Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Just because a woman thinks she is a good catch doesn't mean that guys are going to.
For the same reason guys ask "Why Do Women Overlook Good Men?". Because they just aren't that good to anybody but them selves.

Because they are forever chasing after women they could never get and who would never want them. They choose to ignore the women right in from of them who are perfect for them , and who want them, and chase someone way out of their league. | |

I would have to disagree with this. That is behavior of a guy who's not committing to anyone and wants to do his thing. Not all men are going to be continuously chasing women out of their league, but what exactly is their league? A guy may think "she's too pretty for me" and not talk to her, and the woman would be thinking "I wish he would talk to me." Then you throw in the fact that most women don't approach men and you end up with a great "could have been," but no one took a chance from both sides. I think more women need to be considerate about approaching men they're attracted too. I never really heard of a man turning down a woman, it's rare if they do. | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/24/2008 1:17:01 PM | That is why I love the internet. Yes, initial attraction is visual for women and men. But, that is merely a preference. We all have them, we just should be wise enough to not let that completely rule our attraction. I fell in love with a man online, because after chatting for hrs at time, I knew his feelings on many subjects. His looks weren't my normal preference. (Too short, hair too curly, back hair, etc. etc. ) But, after getting to know tis man, and him being emotionally supportive for awhile,I fell for him. It didn't work out, but did open my eyes to the possibilities of relationships with men, not my normal preference in looks. In the first place he lived 1300mi away, so without the net we never would have met. And secondly, without email and chatting, we wouldn't have known each other enough to fall in love. | |

and chase someone way out of their league. Personally, I think that whole concept of "leagues" is completely silly. There's no such thing as a woman who is out of my league, and no such thing as a woman for whom I am out of hers. There are only people who are compatible and people who are not. | |
|
| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/27/2008 7:07:17 PM | I guess the question I have is, define what a "good woman" is, and exactly how are we overlooking these.
While I can't speak for all men, and this probably applies to plenty of women, there are three states of awareness when considering someone as a potential mate. We/I are either Interested in you, Not Interested in you, or you are invisible.
If you feel that you're a good woman and that men overlook you, have you done anything to make sure you're not invisible to them. If you are not invisible to them, then let's face it, they are just not interested in you...
It's easy to overlook someone who doesn't put themselves on your radar screen.
So, if you're being overlooked, the problem isn't them, it's you. | |

| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/27/2008 7:11:14 PM | | maybe they feel as if some of us good women aren't good enough for them.....either too good or not good enough we can't all win can we? | |
|
| Why Do Men Overlook Good Women? Posted: 5/27/2008 10:01:20 PM | | Just because your a " Good" Woman dosen't make you the " Right Woman... They say the Honda Accord is such a " Great car" so safe and great on gas,but its not the "Right" car for me. Yes my Nissan 350Z is a Gas guzzle'n beast... but its RIGHT for ME !!! Fast and Sexy just how I like it ! | |
