Alot of women don't seem all that interested in their partner or his body. They find his body boring or even rude. Is female attraction that much less non-visual or are these women really not that into men? Do they see men merely as pleasure machines?
It's not that they aren't attracted to men. I think that the standards have been lowered considerably. IE.. high divorce rates, sometimes in excess of THREE times or more. Once or twice it could be him. Three or four, it is YOU!

Again...not sure what kind of crowd you hang with. I've never known women that were not physically attracted to their men.

The thought of a woman not being attracted to her man depresses me............

Big time.

i know, right?!?!! people seem to appreciate what other people can do for them... but don't really get to know the person for who he/she truly is (minus the benefits)

it's a selfish sad world. out there. if you end up with the wrong person.

I know what the OP's getting at.

It's the reason that you sometimes see shrek look-a-likes with beautiful women, but rarely if ever see successfull men with busted women.

Women, it seems, can somehow love even the ugliest of creatures, given the thing has some form of success/money in it's life.

For example, I had a chance to date and eventually marry a very wealthy and successful woman, but couldn't do it because physically she made my stomach turn, on the flipside a woman would have probably found a way make it work in her favor.

As a man it's better to be an ugly boss, than a handsome bum.

I've seen men who are batting above their average with their partner.

Then I've seen them together -- the way they laugh and enjoy each others company. It doesn't seem so strange. Attraction can begin with different triggers.
