I feel you TS. I know exactly what you are talking about that. I used to do that as well.
But, then you learn, become little cinical and your outlook changes.
Now, I do the reverse. I consider all girls that I meet bitches and hoes untill they prove me differently. Dont get me wrong. I dont treat them bad or call them names or anyhting like that, I just act very reserved and let them expose their true personalities.
I found this way to work me since I dont have any high expectations anymore. On the contrary, I have only bad expectaions. So, when they prove to be bitches, its that much easier to stop seeing them. And if they prove to be more than I expected, then its even better.
I guess the moral of the story is: No high expectations = No big disappointments.

To TS: Improve yourself and your life, and the women will come. They will all follow a man who has worth, dignity, and a goal.

I agree 1000% about putting yourself first. Keeping all women on pedestals means each woman is gold until proven otherwise. Its the same principle that all men are brothers until they prove they are low life shit. But, nothing comes before YOU and thats a fact. You are the seat of the universe and nothing is more important. But after you gotta a good wad of dignity, self respect, and know who you are, go ahead and idealize a few things in life. But in no way does something get put on a pedestal at the cost of oneself. I never said that.
But women are great things, crazy animals, and fun as fuck to 'appreciate'. You can obectify and belittle and mistreat chicks all you want ( i dont mean any poster in here at all, just being general). But when you put women on a pedestal, thats the sweet shit right there.... You behold a woman, experience a woman, intertwine, and enjoy a woman a little differently than guys who just turn and burn.
Some people drink coors light, others drink $500.00 bottles of the finest scotch man can possible make. Thats what I mean by put it on a pedestal. Diff strokes, diff folks. But if women are the goal, putting them on a pedestal keeps you driven, sharp, and focused.

I would also advise to become self sufficient first and not really try to fall in love. Instead, try to look at a relationship from a business point of view.

Yeah.
The more I interact with women the more I realize they are people.
Lonely, needy (even more so), and horny.
Just for them it's even easier to get humped.
It's fucking pathetic.
But then humanity is pathetic.
So what do you want?
Just put yourself on the pedestal and realize you have standards. But don't miss out on opportunities because people ain't meeting the standards you hold for yourself (that's just stupid).

When you love someone, you dont really think clearly. So, I think I found a better approach. I call it a car shopping approach.
Approach dating and looiking for a woman like you would approach buying a car.
Check out various cars, "test drive" them, see how much they cost, whether they have been used or not and by whom. Also, maybe you want some car just to joy ride from time to time, maybe you wanna a car to be your main card and etc...
And sometimes its nice to have several cars for different purposes.
In conclusion, no car is perfect and each serve a different purpose. In case of women, most of them are not new either. So, you have to see their mileage and see if you are comfortable with that. Maybe what you need is a virgin, or you prefer a broken in version.
If you approach dating from this point of view, I guarantee you cannot go wrong.

Assuming women are gold until proven otherwise seems very naive to me. Most girls (99%) are pretty average people. You should approach them the same way you approach a major purchase. As something which can improve your life. If it accomplishes this, you can keep it around, if not get rid of it.
I agree that the general attitude on Sherdog is to belittle and mistreat women, and this is wrong. You have to approach women objectively, and see how they fit in to your life. If they do, keep them around, marry if you want. If they become a problem, they must go.
In conclusion, women should not be put on a pedestal at any point. They are just people like you, and should be treated fairly, but not worshiped. Human nature dictates that if you put someone on a pedestal they will assume something is wrong with you, and that you are hiding a flaw.

Value yourself above women. If they see you care about others and have confidence ,you will attract the right type of women. .
