I ended up not marrying mine despite my childhood fantansies of marrying one. so i was wondering if it happens that way with most women or not?

That honestly depends on your expectations and whether you settle or not. Some women create fantasy worlds where the men as so perfect, that even the best of the best of men couldn't even come close to obtaining that level of perfection. Second, if your dreams are grounded, then holding out for the man of your dreams is your choice. Sadly, a lot of women, men too, get lonely, and then settle for less than what is good for them just so they don't have to be alone for the moment, this lapse in judgement usually lasts a lifetime, whether they stay married or not, and isn't worth the instant company you will get in lowering your standards. Because of all this, the percentage is low, but it is very possible to be higher if we aim for it. :)

I've read this book on " He's just not that into you", very interesting!! Different people have different view. Some view this as not their style. Some are okay with it. In this modern era, it doesn't really matter who really does the proposing. But as a girl, frankly speaking, given a choice we would still love to be proposed and not to do the proposing, am I right? Have a peek at the book, it will give you the answer you are looking for. Let a man who profession is on these issues to advise you. Trust me, this guy is good. Even Oprah thinks so too.

The problem with dreams is that they never match reality. If you wait for something that comes close to a dream then its a long lonely wait. It should be a part of what you look for but not everything. Remember our requirements for a mate changes over time. Sometimes people grow apart from one another where others grows together like a fine wine but it should not be confused with a dream.

very few. This is because love is blind and ladies might not see or choose not to see the "other side"of the man during the courtship period and pay attention the aspects that fall within their qualifications of an ideal man. Also, as a person matures, their desires tend to vary from the childhood fanatasies because reality as set in and the lady might opt for the man that suit her present situation.

I don't even think we get to MEET the man/woman of our dreams very often, much less be lucky enough to enjoy a relationship with and ultimately end up married to them...very elusive. I think the majority of people settle into permanent situations sometimes just to avoid being alone for the rest of their lives.

I would say yes, most women do not marry the man of their dreams. My mother just got lucky! Now I just hope one day I do too.

I'm sure the number is rather small, just as it is for the guys who would marry the woman of their dreams.

i would say that would be a low percentage. I did not marry the man of my dream.

I've met 3 men who come close to being the man of my dreams. Unfortunately, one is gay, one is married, and the other is waaaaay too young.
