At the end of the day men go for the hottest woman he can afford to date. Woman go for the most successful man she can attract.

 

For example i work retail so i have can only really date woman working dead end job.

 

It is more about socail or econimac status than looks.

 

Krieger if that picture is you I can tell you with 100% certainty there are plenty of women who would go to bed with you.

 

They just won't select you to be their main man. Maybe have your baby and pass it off as his. There are plenty of economically advantage not so good looking men who found out one or more of "their kids" aren't really theirs.

I do feel people should know there limts or they will never find love but one should not sale themselfs short.

 

For example if a girl i am dating makes a lot more money than I do it is going to be hard to feel equal. She will wear the pants in the relationship. Than i have little to know say in that kind of relationship.

I see couples all the time that seem just right for each other. And I think they find each other attractive, too. Sure, some people only think what the media throws at them is attractive, but there's a self-love thing too that makes a lot of people be attracted to someone who looks like them. They "get" their face, it's familiar. And of course those who have a big imbalance (Billy Joel/Christy Brinkley, for example) stand out, and when you see that, there's a reason, another imbalance of power (she left when he found out he was financially ruined). But those people are in the minority, as far as actual couples go. Because most people end up with someone they are attracted to but who are not that far out of their attractiveness range -- because that's who they can get and also because once you get to know someone, if you care about them, looks become less important and sometimes they even look better to you.

 

And yes, there are people out there who will put up with any number of character and personality flaws, even to the point of golddigging and criminality, to get someone who looks hot on their arm, and that's because they're propping up a fragile ego atop low self-esteem to fool people into thinking they're more than they are.

Yes that pic is me and not sure if I should be flattered by your post or not.

 

Anyway some of what you said is true I had a FWB with this girl but after 6 months she did not want to be fwb and was dating a guy less than a week later after it ended.

It does rather make sense, but I'm wondering why people don't do this anyhow? I think people, who don't look at themselves in a mirror or something, tend to still ONLY go for the upper echelon of those in looks an don't even ONCE consider their equals in appearance.

 

Of course, they'll complain, "Why can't I meet anyone?!"

 

Why do you suppose that is?

 

It has been my experience, and I thought about starting a thread to get other views, that most people in relationships(with exceptions) tend to adhere to the "leagues" stipulation in regards to looks. What I have viewed, as other posters here have stated, is that the woman tends to be equal to, or slightly better looking, then her man. This follows with friends and family, as well as people I see out in public.
