So, I've been reading this topic and I thought I'd post a more serious answer than my other one.
The majority of both genders really dont know what they want. They have too many preconceptions of what relationships should be like from watching tv/movies etc, to see beyond all that and realise that there is no such thing as the perfect match.In my opinion it is this that makes relationships and life in general interesting.
So many women date complete jerks and then complain about them, or try to change them. When in actual fact the dumbass really needs a good smack upside of the head and told where to go. On a similar note we men often go for brain dead bimbos (eg Michelle Pfeifer to use the earlier example) and then spend the majority of time joking about how stupid they are.
A friend of mine once compared women to apples. The basic premise of his idea was that instead of climbing the tree to get the apples/women that are further to reach we settle to go for the "easier" women/apples which do not take as much effort to get. This makes the other apples/women feel that something is wrong with them which isnt the case, most men just arent willing to put in the extra effort to climb the tree. This probably covers both men and women however.
