Shikamaru never liked the loud obnoxius diva type of girl. He wanted someone kind and mellow who would do him a favor every now and then without complaining. He preferred someone who would stay at home with their children, while he was out on missions. He definitely wanted someone intelligent who could hold a decent conversation, not some dumb bimbo who babbled about shopping and make-up all day.
When he met her, he knew she was the one for him, except for one problem; he wanted to marry a woman neither beautiful nor ugly. She definitely was beautiful in his eyes though, but that can't be helped when you're in love. You see, being beautiful causes problems, like having other men compete to compete with for the woman of your dreams. There's also the fact that beauty if very intimidating, asking a girl out is 20 times more frightening than facing Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyou sharingan with clothes pins pinching your eyelids wide open.
Of course, a woman like this only comes around once in a lifetime, so maybe he could just ignore the fact that she's pretty and just ask the gorgeous Hyuuga Hinata out for dinner on Friday night.
