Haven't dated anyone that actually was "native American" (that I know of) so those issues weren't really present.
The traits that eventually ended the relationships have been varied, which is why I wonder if the problem is mostly me just overlooking traits I should know to avoid just because I am so smitten with someone's looks.
That sure sounds like I'm pretty shallow but I don't see how I can help the "look" that appeals to me so strongly.

The "look" shouldn't really be a problem then unless you feel like you are blinded by logic when a woman that looks like this comes along. If you are finding it pretty generalized it might be more man/woman issues than "the look."
Have you tried dating women that don't have this look? You may be idealizing them too much and that gives a lot of power to the woman's side of the relationship... it should be more equal than that.

I have been amazed at the times I dated outside my "type." It can be VERY enlightening!

Often you can read about people who seem to consistantly be attracted to personalities that are exactly the WRONG "match" for them. It isn't that they are attracted to people who are actually "bad" - they are just a bad match. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm one of those folks, at least a little bit. But maybe also I just react differently to those "wrong" matches". It's baffling, and frustrating to say the least.

Has anyone ever found that true about themselves? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Thanks All
I know someone at work who is in that situation. She's always getting involved with the bad guys... yet doesn't realize that they're like too much red meat for her... bad for her health.
