I can't qualify everything I say. And how could you personally know that most DON'T? I doubt you've come into contact with "most women". In your circle, fair enough. I was talking about the ladies here, having this compulsion to point out that they were beautiful, attractive, smart, etc.

Exactly.

I'm not sure if you're a man or not, but guys go after any girl because she is attractive. We don't think about it in intellectual ways. If our eyes like what we see, we will be attracted to it and probably even build it up later and act like she has all these other "fabulous" qualities. Although there are several things an attractive woman can do to make herself less attractive, bad personality etc. But that doesn't make her any less physically desirable. Which like it or not, is what men respond to first.
Don't get mad at men, get mad at nature, our DNA, our biological heritage. Like James said earlier, attraction is not a choice.
BTW the same can be said for nice guys who complain that women only like bad boys or jerks. That is how they are wired, and that's how it is and you must adjust.
