Cnd, my ex could be a Nick Nolte double. I have become one of "those" reformed smokers. I don't want it anywhere around me. Having been married to an alcoholic and an alcoholic/addict, I have absolute no tolerance for drunks and would prefer a non-drinker but would accept a very very light drinker. I am very much a blue jeans and boots kinda girl. Some of you may be aware that I firmly believe Wranglers are the only type of jeans a man should wear. My sister and I've have each worked in law firms for over 25 years. At one time my mom couldn't understand why we could work around so many lawyers and not find a single one attractive. We told her it was because we worked with them. BTW, Yes, the first thing I look for is a wedding ring. But since I spend a lot of time around real cowboys, I have to remember that's not a sure sign of being single. Many of them, especially ones involved in rodeos, don't wear them for safety reasons.

LOL, Dodoc! Exactly! If I ever find my knight in shining armor, he'd probably spend all his time shining it up anyway! I think it's safe to say that a few of us ladies have had a bad experience with a "good lookin" guy and that may account for our willingness to look deeper. My question is to the guys......haven't you had any bad experiences with a gorgeous woman? I know some of you have ex-wives, but what about on the dating scene? All your gorgeous dates have been "da bomb" and you don't need to look any further? And all the "plain janes" have been the pitts?

NT: I am with you on the wranglers issue. Before I got married, or even found DH my requirements were a cowboy with a truck and a job. The rest I could work on. I got better, I got a Marine Cowboy, with a big truck and a permanent government job....although he isn't military anymore. I can't stand men in baggy pants, underwear hanging out.....bugs me. You can't work in clothes like that, if you ask me. I want a man who looks like he really WORKS for a living. Although I sometimes enjoy a man in a nicely fitting pair of dockers, too.

<ka> Last night I went to a meeting with a group of business women. One lady we hadn't seen in years drove 8 hours to be with us. She was a hoot! Told us she had recently gotten married for the 3rd time, but it was her true love. Now she's 48 and probably about 30lbs overweight, but it's not noticable unless you really dwelled on it. Her personality overshadowed everything else. And her true love......was the little boy who lived down the lane from her when she was a kid. They lived in the country and were the only houses around. They were best friends first. Where did they meet again? At a funeral home. 26 years after they last saw each other. She said that was one rule they had, when she was out of town on business, he couldn't go to the bars or funeral homes alone!!! LOL She radiated happiness. I was jealous!

I have met really attractive people who were idiots and I have meet really attractive people who are the most wonderful people on earth. I have met not so attractive people and they were idiots and I have meet not so attractive people who were the most wonderful people on earth. What you look like does not define who you are. It's what in your heart and mind. And everyone's opinion of what is attractive and what is not is different.

One guy I dated was definately a 10 in the body dept. Built like a weightlifter, 6-pack abs the whole deal. But not that bright. Now sometimes it's good to have a man that you don't need to talk to. Sometimes.

I think that Zachsmom summed it up pretty nicely. One lady friend of mine was physically gorgeous. But what was even more gorgeous about her was how kind she was to everyone. She made all of the people that she met feel very special. There are physically pretty people who are ugly on the inside and there are not so pretty people who are also ugly on the inside. And vice versa. Oddly enough, the women I generally find the most attractive are the ones that take good care of themselves but don't obsess on physical appearance. They feel good about themselves in a healthy way and look and act good as a result.

Looks are good for about 10% of your personality, after that you better have the charm to make up that other 90%

It's funny, I have met some very physically beautiful people who turned out to be very ugly inside. And some just 'average' people who turned out to be truly the most beautiful people. And then there are just the average people who will always be average, but aspire to be beautiful but are too shallow to ever get past the physical.

shallow is as shallow does. they condemn themselves to always looking for the greener grass. hard to feel sorry for them. especially the ones who live a life time without learning that lesson.

LOL – Just thinking about my gorgeous friend(s). As I said, what made her special was that she had a way of making other people feel special. She just did it naturally. And the funny thing about it was it didn't cost her a cent to do it or even take much effort on her part!

Newman, you are exerting so much energy to find the right woman for you. Ask yourself if you are having any fun. If you are unhappy and find someone and become happy, Did you become happy just because you found someone and your epic search is over? Or, will you be happy because of the person you found? Trying too hard most times tend to cloud your judgment and exhaust you. Live life, have fun and you will then trip over girls enjoying life too.

I also have a friend who is, IMO, stunningly beautiful. If I was blind, I would still want to be her friend because she is one of the kindest, sweetest, most humble people ever put on this planet. She used to be my boss, and she was always a friend, too. I have oftentimes thought over the years about why this "10" would want to hang out with this "5." It is simply because she is such a wonderful person on the inside that she does not judge others by their covers. I am a lucky person to have her as a friend!
