    like literally everything: from her intelligence, skin color, body type, promiscuity, recreational activities, etc.

    wouldn't that make you a better man? would a girl like that be interested in a person like that, maybe for unselfish reasons?

    Neither women nor men date for unselfish reasons. Everyone wants the best possible parent for their child; that's evolution.

    A study among female medical students showed that 0% of the surveyed women would even consider dating a man that had a lower socioeconomic status than her, while the male students had no problems with that whatsoever. Women in general are status driven when it comes to dating, while men are driven by looks.

    I personally think opposites attract to a degree (physically). Biracial children are for example often healthier. However, in dating (and life) you can only get what you are able to provide. If you want a very attractive partner, you can't be ugly yourself (or you need to be rich) and so on. Yes, there are always exceptions, but in general, singles are trying to attract others of the same "value", or better. It sounds horrible, but that's the human condition. We are a self serving animal and will always be.

    Me and my husband are extremely alike in some regards (morals, family values, level of education) and extremely unlike each other in others (physical, temperamental). I fell in love with him because he had good sides that I don't. Likewise, he probably got something from me that he didn't have himself.

    I wouldn't pick an undateable man as an act of unselfishness, and I've never heard about a women that would. Doubt it would work the other way around either. Intellectual and physical attraction is vital.

    If she is really attracted to you, you can date her. The problem is that the way you speak shows me that you lack of confidence and you tell yourself that you don´t deserve her. She will notice this rigth away and stop dating you.

    My ex-girlfriend was my complete opposite:
    I'm a man - She's a woman
    I'm brown - She's white
    I'm short - She's tall
    I'm pessimistic - She's optimistic
    I like sci-fi - She likes fantasy
    I still love her - She hates me

    And still we managed to love each other and mantain a good relationship for 3.5 years.

    Being in a relationship always ends up being about how the other person makes you feel. Common interests help, yes, but I would rather be with a woman who I have nothing in common with but makes me feel special than to be with a female version of me who makes me feel like an cardboard figure.

    That s doesnt mean a lot i mean your job doesnt define you espicially if you work just to pay the bills what defines you is way deeper than that. I would say your dreams define you
