why are men and women so picky?

I have a question that has come to me quite often... why are men and women so picky about what type of person they like? It seems to me that men and women would rather have a gorgeous, but disrespectful mate, rather than one whos attractive in the inside. What is y'all opinion? Not saying they all gorgeous people are direspectful!!

SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY WANT. SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT SOMEONE FOR A CERTAIN REASON. SOME PEOPLE DON'T CARE WHO THEY DATE. THEY DON'T CARE TO GET TO KNOW A CERTAIN PERSON OR LOOK INTO THEIR HEART TO SEE WHO THAT PERSON REALLY IS. LETS JUST SAY A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS.

I say that there is nothing wrong with being picky. You should never settle for less than perfect. The real problem is what people consider to be perfect. I can think someone is physically attractive, but would never really like them unless they were respectful of me and my ideas and I will respect them back. I know women are guilty of "being too picky", but I usaully see it more guys. Not all of them, but a lot of them. And most can not live up to their expectations. Big in some areas and fat free in others. What are women supposed to look like?

YA THAT IS TRUE!
