People in general have trouble articulating what they want (and sometimes admitting it to themselves). You're not wrong but it doesn't just apply to women so there's no need for this misogynist garbage.

If you ask anyone what they are looking for, chances are they will describe the qualities missing in their last partner. But that's simply describing the qualities that a person they actually wanted didn't have.

Men do the same thing. Though perhaps not the "bad girl", but we often fall for a type (of the many types) that's a lot of fun but terrible for long term relationships and leave the ones that have better long term potential out.

Have you met men who says otherwise? Isn't that why you have the meme "Don't stick your dick in crazy"?

You mean men with a list of what they want but never end up dating women that match it? Yes. Though less at my current age, most of my friends are married at this point.

No, I mean men who claim that they don't fall for the "wrong" women.

Yes. But mostly they're married at this point.

Your anecdotal remarks would appear more credible if you skipped out on the "air quotes"
