Pretty Boys: Worth the Trouble?
No one bats an eye when a man picks an extremely attractive woman to date, even if there is not much substance behind the pretty face. But women are given a hard time when they express an insistence upon superior looks in a mate. Why are we expected to value what's within more than the external package? So the question of the day: how important is the physical when choosing a partner?

First and foremost, I completely disagree with your 1st statement that "No one bats an eye when a man picks an extremely attractive woman to date, even if there is not much substance behind the pretty face." I think that people absolutely look at that situation for what it is, superficial.
Unattractive men with good looking women are most likely to have something tangible with which to lure the woman.
The real issue that you are getting at is just that it is far less likely for an unattractive woman to bag a better looking man. Good looking people want to be with other goood looking people. Not so good looking people want to be with good looking people. Everyone wants to be with good looking people. That is just the facts.
Just as we all speculate (with much accuracy) that there is some tangible benefit to the good looking woman who is with the unattractive man, the same holds true for good looking men with unattractive women.
The question is, are unattractive woman prepared to be viewed in that light?

Looks are important...I can't be sad every time we step outside in public. At the same time though, I couldn't stand a man that was 'prettier' than me :-)

Looks matter, and I'll take it even further. Weight matters. It may be looked down upon to be open about it, but I want the person I'm with to be a certain size, and I don't apologize for it.

WAIT! So "Anonymous" won't apologize for insisting on a partner of a certain size, but he won't post his name?!?! Ironic.

Just in case some gross assumptions are being made: unnatractive women can be vapid too. Being fine doesn't mean someone is stupid. That's why I say, pursue the finest woman or man you can; cut them loose if they turn out to be dumb.
