I think this is an interesting question and hope it doesn't die too soon. Would everyone answer this question, "I wouldn't change a thing"? I would--I mean, I'd change some things, for sure.
When I look back on several of my past relationships, I can find no explanation for why I got involved with those people--I understand the initial attraction, but why I stayed with them for so long...all I can think is, what was I thinking? Does this happen to others? I've heard some of the 'formerly married' say this type of thing. How does this happen and what can be done to avoid it?
From some of the posts on these forums, esp. the introductions,I think 'plain' men do feel they are being ignored...(not trying to be contentious, just exploring ideas)
Yep, know what you mean, happens to me too. But maybe it happens to men too--think about it, a nice looking man, well dressed, isn't he going to get more of your attention than someone who doesn't make the effort? Unless I had previously known the man, I'd probably go for the one who makes an effort to be attractive...
Absolutely true. Except raising pigs in the kitchen. Well, there are allotments, etc.; during WWII there were Victory Gardens. But of course, no pigs. Ha, ha. On of my favorite old BBC shows is The Good Life--I'd love to do that, as long as there was still money for travel!!
But I'm not sure I trust in the research. Research tends to be updated from time to time, is it possible this, or any, research is something to put your full believe in?
My personal opinion about this, honestly, is that it varies with the individual. I don't think all women, or men, think alike.
Is it true that while men consider appearance in a woman to be of paramount importance, women think personality is more important? Do women really not care that much about appearance? Do men really all that much about it? Or is it true that it varies from person to person?
Well only in part. The employees where I work are all highly educated; they have limited options because they are not Germans--it's the type of work they do for an international company involving native English skills. But, again, I'm not asking for direct advice about this situation. I am wondering about the issue of acceptance. Guess I didn't make myself clear in the original post.
It's been talked about and the owner of the business is just doing what he wants, no change. The situation is basically over, i.e.: acceptance. I wasn't looking for advice for this particular situation, but just considering the ways in which we accept, why or why not we accept, when we should or shouldn't, etc., in general Your response addresses those questions...thanks.
Ask yourself if it were your boyfriend and your friend had seen him on a singles site, what would you want your friend to do? When you've got the answer, do that. Good luck.

There's this joke they tell us women, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince charming. I don't know what the parallel is for men, but the idea is the same. Keep looking, and trying, she's there.
My job situation is essentially meaningless to me as I will move on in a year or two. The personal situation is only money....I don't cling to money or material stuff, but in that respect, I'm still single and free....nobody to worry about but myself. In both cases, I'm getting experience is being more careful about choices and in personal emotional strength.
Is acceptance always a sell out? What if you have a family, kids, a home to consider? I'm thinking of the employees here who are established, many married to Germans but are foreigners themselves and have limited options for jobs in this area....It just seems too easy to say, chuck the job...
