When I look back at my dating life I remember some terrible relationships with some beautiful women. Someone told me it was called the Princess Syndrome. Where very beautiful women can be cold, poor conversationalists, moody, shallow, and unreasonable and still have guys who would love to have a dating relationship with them. The guys put up with their many personal flaws because the woman is just so physically beautiful and sexy and being with her gives them physical pleasure and lots of envy and positive reinforcement by friends and family. Your status is 100% better because you are with such a hot girl.
Men, have you been in a romantic relationship with a woman that was wrong but you stuck around because she was so beautiful or sexy?
Women: Do you think there are many of you who stick with the wrong man because he is so handsome, masculine and sexy?
Which gender is more guilty of hooking up with someone wrong for them due to physical attraction?

Hands down, men are more often guilty of this, and for exactly the reasons you say: they want to be envied by their friends.
I've never done this, but I know men who have, and it is frustrating. I have seen close friends of mine put up with horrendous abuse, including theft and physical violence, from women just because they were so "hot." Frankly, I think it makes them look pathetic.
The women I think are beautiful are typically quite average by other guys standards.
But if a beautiful, beautiful woman wanted to date me, that I would mean I'd have a ton of $$$ when that day came. So, I'd have equal if not more leverage.
I've put up some stupid drama just because she was smok'n. But a man can only handle so much nonsense before it gets old. When you've been with enough beautiful women you'll realize they're really no different than the average woman.
I know a lot of men here don't believe it, but I (and a lot of other women) don't put a whole lot of stock into a guy's looks. I am not saying all women are like me, and I am not saying (to a degree) looks don't matter at all. I am just saying it's not the main thing I go for.
Sure, a good looking man might make me turn my head, but it's not the thing that attracts me to a man. Mainly, when it comes to looks, he doesn't need to be handsome or sexy at all. I am looking more for well groomed (good hygiene), cares about himself and takes care of himself, and is comfortable in his own skin. I do like masculine though (but that's more about how a man acts to me).
So that said, I wouldn't stick with a man because of his looks. That would be like keeping a car with a bad engine because it had a nice paint job.
But there are women who do. I've known them before... I've also had guy friends like this. Their behavior makes no sense to me.

I put up with a bunch of crud in my mid/late 20s because she was hot. I think I've grown out of it, but I guess I could be tempted. Nothing like what I was willing to put up with then, which was primarily due to low self esteem.
Very short term, maybe, but definitely not long term.
