Well the same can be said about men wanting their women to be something more than they are. Otherwise there would be no purpose or reason for plastic surgeons to exist other than post traumatic reconstructive surgery.
And Woody doesn't seem to have any issues when it comes to attracting women...that is just his movie alter ego.
I think it's very different though. Sure, men are just as guilty when it comes to setting standards (though personally, could never date a plastic girl). But women don't just want someone they are attracted to, they want someone who can support the collective weight of the relationship. Her baggage, and his. A lot of the time it seems to get overlooked that men even have baggage; we get derided as these neanderthalic creatures who follow only the basic of primal instinct. But you know, we're fucked up too.
I think that yes, men also want someone who can handle, and support them emotionally, but I don't think it's typical of men to go out looking to be supported. I think it's more typical of us to seek someone who can handle our independence, and let's face it, how often does that happen?
And yeah, Woody had the wit/charm, and you know, I can attract women too. But regardless, that doesn't mean I can hold more than my own weight.
