Guys project qualities onto a chick which are not there.
Their emotion overrides their logic (as you correctly point out above).
The curious thing about this - is that guys will develop the deepest oneitis for chicks who - on the surface - are nothing special.
And this is because the irrational part of the guy's brain is sure he has spotted hidden qualities that others have overlooked.
Qualities that even the chick didn't realise were there. It is like an art critic declaring that a forgotten painting is actually a masterpiece.
It is a fool's errand trying to reason a guy out of his oneitis.
Only experience can teach that lesson.
