have been reading this thread with an increasing level of disappointment, to say the least. I'm a woman in my early fifties, who is pretty nice looking myself, although not looking for a relationship any more. I'm finding this thread disappointing because it seems like the values I'm seeing here are just as shallow as those of NTs: you want to find a pretty girl, just like the NT guys do. How many of you (who feel that's important) are really good looking guys, in fact? I have seen so many men of all kinds of neurological makeups screw themselves up, over the decades I've been observing such behavior, because they get stuck with this "I've got to pull a babe, or I'll look like I'm settling" kind of crap. When a man grows up enough to start looking beneath the surface, then is when he's more likely to meet a woman who can do the same.
Hey I'd love "hot" looking girl friend, though where not all that way inclined, for me "looks" neat tidy and presentable is more than enough. Any how many "hot" looking woman seem shallow and nasty to me (though not all of them of cause).
I completely agree with you. And what's with this "settling" bs? I honestly don't understand it, is it settling if you meet a girl/guy with a great personality, who likes you for you, but is only average looking, or a little overweight? As for "nice guys," if you're only nice to the pretty ones, you're NOT a nice guy.
