I think they are severely limited their chances, that's all. Very seldom will a hottie end up with an ugly.

You can want, fantasize and expect what you wish, you will not necessarily get or deserve any particular results. As for Hitch, it was a movie and an unfunny, lousy one at that.

Real love has the ability to transform even a mere toad!

It's the getting the attractive person to fall in love with the unattractive person that's the hard part.

In most cases there must be a humble, attractive person who possesses more heart than vision.

I don't need George Clooney - all I need is someone I'M attracted to. Others opinions don't count. If I couldn't find that I would remain single. It's all very simple.

Anyone has the right to want whatever they want however unrealistic it may be.

BUT, they shouldn't expect sympathy while they whine about their unrealistic expectation.

While I could buy into the concept of an attractive person with a LESS(?) attractive person in the abstract, please remember that the whole thing could capsize before it even got a decent start if one or both parties has emotional baggage concerning their looks.

If a hottie dates a nottie, would the less endowed partner be plagued with insecurity and doubt or even a secret desire to sometimes take hottie down a notch in the relationship, thereby propping up a shaky ego? And with issue of sexual jealousy..that could run so deep, perhaps it's best not to explore that.

And ugly people seem to get better looking with age. So I don't see how looks is a long-term factor relationship wise. I mean, it's a bonus to have someone good looking to look at. But what are they going to offer you besides their looks? Where's the substance? Where's their heart at? What is their life condition?
Exactly. This is what I care about. What a person stands for. What they believe in. I don't do superficiality or status symbols.

Beauty is as beauty does.

Both genders are equally shallow..
No. They aren't.

I have never heard a woman say "I will only go out with blondes" or "26-36-26 (or whatever) measurements" or "petite" or whatever. Or this comment made by a man in "the Hite report on Male sexuality" -- he said quote (about women in general) "If she is over 25 she is finished".

Men say these kinds of things all the time. Men definitely are pickier then women. I've also never heard women yell cruel things out car windows to overweight men.

Yes, there are differences because we are wired differently.

See the Hite Report on Male sexuality and likewise it's sister book "Hite report on female sexuality, and Men are from mars, Women are from venus for more clarification.
