Because it isn't always about that its about the right time the right place. Plus she won't choose someone whose extremely ugly, more like a guy thats average or can be fixed if he loses weight and dresses better, plus groom.
She does have her pick of men but normally the good looking guy or the rich guy win out mostly. But that isn't what she is looking for she is looking for a life partner. A lot of the good men especially if they are good looking or rich are already taken. The majority of the time the male won't cheat because they are faithful to their wife and family. She want's a man like that so she has to pick from whats available. And avoid the players and scum.

You don't think that there are available men who are handsome and good? There may be a fair number of them who married only for looks or money, like women, but I doubt they are all taken.

If a man is a great person and very attractive, do you think he would go for a woman with average looks or needs to lose weight?

But you don't get it and we do. Most men who are very attractive or even slightly attractive are GAY. So that leaves the pool shallow because most heterosexual good looking men are rare and sometimes are not good men.
I think a man would go for an average looker than a fat girl.

Interesting. I have never heard the assertion that most slightly attractive men are gay. That would indeed be a pickle for women.

Was that sarcasm? B/c most of the time when we mean attractive it means someone who takes care of thier body and the way they look. And yeah most of the time it means they are gay.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. I have heard several people say that very fit men are frequently gay (or narcissists or both) and a few more have said that "hot" guys are frequently gay. I've honestly never heard anybody other than you say that most slightly attractive men are gay.

shallow is as shallow does

shallow thinking = shallow values = shallow selection critereia = shallow relationship

Interesting.

Y'all have me intrigued. I have pondered this particular question for a while. Help me out:

How is liking someone for looks or money any more shallow than liking them b/c they are intelligent or talented? They are all subjective characteristics upon which we have placed value.
