People, don't let him confuse you. He's using simian pheromones.

I used to have a soft spot for Echo. Before she became the unrelevant, misused character she is now.

I hope so, but what they did to her after her appearences in Daredevil was a complete shame.
First the Ronin thing (and she wasn't even supposed to be Ronin from the start, she was just a last minute fall back).

Then, a mere walk-on for the rag tag team of the new avengers, where she was so unrelevant that they didn't even care to remember that she's deaf and could only communicate by reading lips.
Also New Avengers #39, featured her as protagonist but failed to give her any importance.

I would say for me that Black Widow is the woman I like to see with Matt the most. They are both equals and they complement each other well. I like their playful, not so serious relationship. They seem to have more of a lustful sexual relationship when they are together but you know they still care about one another and have a deep respect for each other. Plus what man could resist a gorgeous red headed Russian woman? But since she seems to be having a thing with Bucky over in Captain America now it is unlikely Matt and Natalia will be getting together again any time soon.

I don't know I may be alone in this but I just don't think Matt was really meant to have a relationship with a "normal" woman. He is too high strung and his life as a vigilante is too crazy for it. I mean just look at what ends up happening with these women eventually, nothing but bad. I think with his personality and his life a more carefree relationship suits him better, especially with a strong (more equal) woman like Natalia.

I do have to say though that I will always have a soft spot for Karen as Matt's love interest. She was the love of his life and I think will always be.

Maybe Matt does crave balance...the kind he can get with a "normal" woman, but normal women don't exactly have it good with him. His life as DD always ends up getting them hurt. Just look at what being with Matt has done for Heather, Karen, and Milla. Two dead and one in a nut ward. His track record isn't exactly great.

On the other hand, women like Natasha, Maya, and Elektra at least have a chance of making it out alive and sane. Granted Elektra did die once, but she can still hold her own better than Karen could.

The Message Board is currently in read-only mode, as the software is now out of date. Several features and pages have been removed. If/When I get time I intend to re-launch the board with updated software.
