And speaking as someone considered quite normal by darn near everyone, normal isn't what I've observed most women looking for. The sane ones seem to crave the drama of bad boys, losers, whiners, cheaters, jerks, etc. Normalcy is boring, dull, until you're serious about building a life - at which point, normal is usally taken.

well said, this is sad but true,i for one consider myself "normal", here it goes: i'm 31 ,married(happily ) ,i enjoy working ,spending time with my wife ,shopping,sending her flowers for no reason other than to show her how i feel,i don't smoke and only drink socially,i don't have illegitimate children ,and i don't need to be the center of attention ,i don't fawn over women ,not when i was single ,and certainly not now,the way i see it ,if a woman wants your company,she'll let it be known ,you just have to watch for the signals,body language,instead of walking around making an ass of yourself, maybe one of the reasons i used to prefer dating more mature women 15-20 yeras older,they know what they want,and you can be yourself, i say keep looking,and you'll find someone siuted for you,sometimes you have to go through a lot to get to the good things in life. my .02
