Because we are similar to animals. They attract the healthy good looking mate. Think peacock flaunts the pretty feathers, monkey red cheeks, deer with the big antlers, lion that is the strongest, etc.

feeling beautiful is more important to women, I think.

pretty is dependent on bad days and good days

I'm quite athletic and have a very healthy body fat percentage. I can't run a marathon but I can cary my groceries up 3 flights of stairs and compete in sports with my friends. I will never have the time to become "ripped", but ironically I think about 60% of the population is overweight, so I'm not sure where you get the idea that this is priority to many people.


See above. All the things you described reflect good health. Most people want to look good, because it makes them feel good, and who doesn't want to feel good?

I also have a feeling you might watch too much television.

Usually it is the male animal that has to rely on his looks to get the girl. For most species, the females are the plain ones, the males are the ones that are colorful and adorned. In some species the males even do sexy dances for the females. I think the human species should put more pressure on men to look hot, and a lot less pressure on women. The animals have it right as usual.
