Deducing the rules of attraction

X_:

I don't get it. All the single people I know are all great people, but they are still single.

Me:

I think there is more to it than that.

X_:

I mean, I think R_ is awesome. I would marry her if she were a guy. I would totally stay home and be the house wife and let her go to work.

Me:

Being a great person isn't enough though. Look at you and me. We are both great people, but it didn't work out. There are other things involved. I was too independent, and insensitive and, hell, we could probably find a dozen ways we didn't connect. We are still good and interesting people, but that wasn't enough to make it work.

Me:

It's possible I will never get married.

X_:

Why do you say that?

Me:

I think my problem is I am attracted to the wrong women.

X_:

The wrong women?

Me:

Well, I have always been drawn to really smart and independent and ambitious women; the sort of woman that doesn't need me.

X_:

You want someone who needs you?

Me:

No, I don't. And that's the problem. The women I'm attracted to are all following their own path in life, they are working toward something different than what I am working toward. Their goals and mine don't match. I don't fit into their life and they don't fit into mine.

X_:

I get ya.

Me:

I need to learn to be attracted to submissive, unambitious women.
