It's inappropriate and comes off strange because you're only looking at one aspect of another human being--their physical attributes. What is absent from most of your posting history is that you don't discuss a woman's admirable qualities like character, integrity, values, ethics, or her interests. That's the short list. You rarely discuss, for example, what you'd like to do with a woman besides having a physical relationship. Though I do recall one post you made a long time ago about going camping together.
I perfectly understand. But don't most women do the same thing when they automatically reject asian men, short men, men with dissabilities, men living in poverty?

I do want a good woman, but I think men evolved differently. I don't think lonely men really care about a woman's views (unless they are extreme, but that would be a minority of women), accomplishments, or character (unless they easilly get mad). Men can pretend to care, but I don't think most really do. I know it sounds bad, but I think it is evolution. And it would be devestating for a relationship if there is no physical attraction.

If I find a woman (someone that I like) that is interested in astronomy and technology that would be perfect, but I don't expect to find the perfect woman. I am not in the position to find the perfect woman.

It's like you want to buy a new car with good safety features. Where's the love, DT?
I would easily fall in love with a woman. I don't talk about it because it won't be a problem.
Well. This post explains a lot.

If I were atheist there's no way I would have married or had children. I'd have played the field as a permiscuous heterosexual forever. I'm not sure why any man would do differently under such a belief system.
For this to have worked, you would have to never want children, and you would have gotten a vasectomy as soon as you were medically able.

Do you think that if you were an atheist that these would have been your choices?

You are misunderstanding what I just said. I wouldn't mind dating a woman with different views. I would date a conservative Trump supporter, it doesn't have to be the perfect match. I don't need the perfect woman to be happy. I said, "I don't expect to find the perfect woman. I am not in the position to find the perfect woman. "

Fix it. Same thing.

I do want a good woman, but I think men evolved differently. It would be okay for me to date a woman with different views, sharing the same views is not the most important thing for me. I would date a conservative Trump supporter, it doesn't have to be the perfect match. It wouldn't be good for a relationship if there is no physical attraction.

Because you almost exclusively talk about sex. That's why people are criticizing you.
I understand.

I wouldn't care how much a woman makes. I don't need the perfect woman to be happy. I said, "I don't expect to find the perfect woman. I am not in the position to find the perfect woman. "
That is why I meant by "don't care". No sexism.
