I was thinking it was just men that needed to get real with their expectations of potential dates, then I realised that I was equally guilty, and needed to get more real too.
Thank you.

You are so welcome Maxine and I’m so glad this blog was helpful to you!
I listen to women tell me their stories of frustration with dating and almost always the common thread appears to be the specific men they are looking for.
Some of the most handsome men can make the absolute worst boyfriends or husbands because they have what I like to call the “maybe the grass is greener over there syndrome” going on. Everyone wants them since they are wonderful eye candy to wake up to every morning. And with a never ending choice of women to date, this handsome man has a tendency to think there is always someone better just around the corner.
Look no further then George Clooney for an example of this.
Then there’s that nice man who is not the handsome ex football captain. He writes a profile online that leads you to believe he is kind, consistent in his actions, and has character yet because he’s not cute enough or doesn’t express his personality that well online- he gets passed over.
Yet he could turn out to be the best boyfriend!
Sadly, many women don’t give him the chance because he’s not the handsome ex football captain and they end up missing this really great guy.
Thanks for your sharing your new dating insight with us.
