Can It Be Coincidence?

I have never applied a set of criteria when meeting a new woman. Well, at least so I thought until I took stock the other day.

I was married twice and had a few longish relationships. I was astonished when I realized how similar the women in my life were. I can include any lady who lasted more than 3 months in my statistics and come up with the same staggering similarities.

None of them smoked. All used alcohol very sparingly.
All were very neat both on their bodies and in their homes.
All were financially independent. Most were fairly honest.
None were exactly illiterate. None had exceptional academic qualifications.
All could type well. Most were computer literate.
All were intelligent, level-headed and rational women
None were blond – don’t ask me why, this was a shocker to me.
They all followed sport and could recognize individual players.
None were very religious but did go to church from time to time
All were easy going as I am. None were naggers.
Few of them looked at a lot of TV. Most of them liked reading.
All of them were kind hearted and cared about the sick and the poor.
None were obese or skinny. All were more or less cuddly.
None were really big breasted. All were 3-5 inches shorter than me.
All enjoyed fairly good health. All liked the outdoor life. None got seasick.
Most were outspoken and called a spade a spade.
Most were good conversationalists. None were introverts.
All had a good sense of humor. All could laugh at themselves.
None liked dancing. Most preferred seafood as a favorite dish
None got angry very easily. None were very moody.
Most were at least 25% younger than me at the start of the relationship.
None were the only child. Most were the eldest child.
Most could drive a car. Few possessed a car. Few possessed a house.
None ever went to gym. None ever had a ladies night out.
Few of them cooked well. All could pour a decent brandy.
None suffered from chronic headache.

So maybe I do apply a check list after all. Only I never realized it. Am I alone in this or are you like it as well?
