-------------------------Amen to that, Dinah! It's remarkable how many people I know that won't date anyone if they can't get "the one" or whatever.
When I was married, I would (very rarely) think that I'd be happier, or more attracted to my wife if she were more skinny, or had a prettier face, etc. After we divorced (she left me for my best friend), I dated the most beautiful girl I've ever seen for about a year. She was absolutely radient, and I considered myself the luckiest guy around. Still, after dating for 5-6 months, I began to see her less as a doe eyed goddess and more as the person she was (which was uncaring and empty). She still looked the same, but I was less and less attracted to her, and eventually pulled the plug.
Now I'm with a girl that, though not a runway model or anything, I find more attractive each day because she's such a wonderful person.
