Men who are intelligent can put up with less intellegent women as long she is pretty. Women who are intelligent find it impossbile to put up with less intelligent men even if they are handsome. This is evolution, fact of life. Short term flings any combination can happen, I'm talking about long term relationship wise.

Some race or skin color are more attractive than others, so opening up the option is not an option as if you don't find purple attractive, why would you want to date someone who is purple?

Too many good women will never be able to have natural children b/c men on these internet sites are all looking for 25 - 30 year olds, even if they themselves are 50.

Yesturday's paper says that men > 40 have genes that can mutate and give children psychological diseases..., so if you are a man over 50, you better bet on a woman over 40 as the ones below 40 will only think of you as old geezards.

Everyone should stop shooting for the moon and be realistic about what you can offer and what you are looking for. Otherwise it's all a big waste of time.
