12801810, I think it comes down to the point of ignoring stuff

like there is a stereotype that a racist white guy will overlook his dislike of black people just to potentially get with a very attractive black woman.

So, his friends might be like: "I thought you didn't like black people?"

and he'll probably be like: "...er, she's not like the rest..." (just because she's attractive - he's ignoring all the stuff about black people he usually is wrapped up in).


So, similarly, if a broke woman is like "I hate wimpy men" and she's dating a sort of soft fellow just because he has money, her friends probably will ask: "I thought you didn't like wimpy men?"


You know, the overlooking stuff thing.
