Shallow question, I know. But I think most couples end up with an "equal" in attractiveness, sometimes one notch off, but generally not much more than that. I am saying MOST couples, not necessarily all. I also think this is healthier as there is less opportunity for "insecurities" in the relationship. A lot of problems do occur, though, when this ratio gets out of whack when one person becomes really vain and boosts their looks and/or one person really lets themselves go. Agreed? I came up with this thread since there are other threads questioning "disparity" and what to do about it.

a lot of times I think dudes myself included, are with hotter chicks, but since I am a hetero male, I would typically be biased in favor of the woman being more attractive

Yeah, but do they stick around? You have "kid" in your name, so I assume you are under 30. I guess I was talking about middle-aged men and women who have relationships/marriages well under way. I should have clarified that.
Oh, Robert, for heaven's sake. Think about it. What does "average" mean? Don't numbers alone (much less logic) tell you that most of us are average? And that most of us end up hooking up? With each other? Average and average? (If we're talking specifically looks here.)

good point, the hotties are hard to hold onto sometimes lol. but I'm handsome, I just don't make a lot of money...
not in the states, depending on which part of the country I see things like this
The northeast - Men date way, waaay, down
The West Coast (Socal) - People date up
The mid west - People date down in general here
The South - If they're not dating down they're about even.
The Heartland - You can date up really high here due to the lack of competition.

That's what I have noticed as well. Not only do people date others that are similar in looks, but also in education, culture, values, worldview, etc.

You are totally right. All my friends are crack wh*res who married former male models who are now CEO's of fortune 500 companies.
