Lots of data on it. Search Pubmed.

The point of my story is that *in general*:

1. Like attract like. (Think of oil and vinegar- they never fully mix.)
2. People conform to their group. (Kinda like the evolutionary theory of "adapt or migrate.")


.
This is true, but unfortunately, it also fuels accusations of racism when groups who are like each other, migrate towards other people like them (physically, racially, etc)

I thought it was the other way around?

Hang out with people who are less attractive so you look more attractive.

Damn it .... now I have to get a new bunch of girlfriends.

Normally I get annoyed when people resurrect zombie threads, but OMG this was one of my all-time favorites.

OP asks to be proven wrong, so we do, yet still he persists.

Oh, this was fun.

Unless the OP finds all types of women " very attractive " and that is why he sees that they tend to surround themselves with other attractive women I'm not sure how he believes this....

Women I know put friendship or acquaintanceship down to other traits not their level of physical attractiveness

All my friends are squirrels. Hey, by that logic... am I a squirrel? Have I been fooling myself all these years?!
*Grabs nuts and scurries off"



Just kidding. I'm a human lady. Well, I'm a human. I'm not sure how ladylike I am. I think my friends are all beautiful, personally, but it's not their outsides that make them that way.

I do know what you mean, though. Whenever I travel to Chicago I notice that there are throngs of very lovely women hanging out together. I suppose it's because they have similar interests and things in common. It's probably not a conscious effort on their parts to find only physically attractive people to hang out with. Or maybe it is... what do I know? I'm a squirrel.

I read somewhere that women are getting more attractive and men are not.

Maybe that's why there are throngs of good looking gals ignoring all those plain Joe's.

It's sort of like how there are some pitches that only dogs can hear? Well, there are some pitches that only attractive people can hear, too. I know that I got really tired of trying to get my unattractive friends to understand me. I kept having to use a different (AKA unattractive) voice. It was very tiring. It's so much easier to be understood with other attractive people.

I feel your pain. It's a hard-knock life, isn't it? LOLOL
