I'm really interested to hear more of this...what kind of flaw...ego, insecurity etc?
What is really wrong with dating down for men or women?
Wait, in the looks department, women date down predominantly. Seriously, how many men happen to be "prettier" than women? It's not possible, unless the man is gay and is pretty prettied up. I'm telling you guys, go out into the world, how many average men do you see with really pretty wives? It's almost the norm. Women look at the personality, men go for the looks. Why are we even having this debate when I merely stated established fact in my own way?
I'm not a pretty guy. I am an average male. And even I won't take a woman less average than me. In that case, why would a real Adonis get with a medusa?? I have seen this in the "arranged marriage" cases, but let's ignore that as a special exception.
Ok, maybe it was the wrong term. But seriously, which man wants to get involved with a woman who is not eye candy?? It has to be some serious flaw which makes him settle for less. There's something we don't know about the dynamic, but that's always the case.
If pointing out truth in society makes me a jerk, so be it.
No truth there. If you were right, then stories like this would not occur.

It isn't a fact that women go for personality and men go for looks.

I too see mostly average guys with pretty gf/wives.
My next question for you is, should a guy with favorable dating traits (personality, physical appearance--height/muscle--these have been discussed a lot on here, great job, education) buck the trend and favor dating Plain-Jane types for a "slam dunk" or should he go for the gold and go for pretty women like most other guys do?
There's usually going to be a less attractive partner in a relationship. Sometimes, it's the guy. Sometimes, it's the girl. I'd have no problems being in a relationship with someone who is better looking.

Man, why am I being interviewed?
What is the need to buck the trend? Is that some form of business strategy which you want to claim credit for? Sounds odd.
I think people WAY overthink this stuff. If you're attracted to each other, who cares if the rest of the world wants to put you in some kind of "league" and say he/she is out of yours?
I know I made the crack about trying to look my best and not to be "one of those couples", which contradicts what I'm saying here, but I was being tongue-in-cheek. I want to look my best for my mate, anyway, whether he's the "more attractive" one or not. I don't need to impress or convince anyone outside the relationship that I deserve to be there.

But how can a guy look better than Neemy
