When a man is with an attractive woman, most chances (not always) are that he is interested in her as A PIECE OF MEAT. For sexual pleasure only.

You don't know that at all

That's why I stopped dating for awhile because so many men judged on my looks. Even now when I did online I deleted any man who made comments about my looks.

Everything about the OP's post rings true with my experiences, but I can't speak for anyone else. Dating is a market, so packaging and message is very important. My highly attractive friends had fewer, exclusive relationships and more control in a relationship. But this is based on my individual definition of who is "highly attractive."

Men often can't help it, they are wired that way. Once they get to know you, they'll hopefully get past being so captivated by looks. When you get to know them, you can find out if they are thru-and-thru superficial or just captivated by beauty.

It's nonsense. Ruth4Truth nailed it right.

No, I don't KNOW that.
That's just my experience (and as somebody who's considered "attractive", I've been used for my looks...A LOT.)
And of course there are exceptions.

Disagree with your entire post.... But I will say that the above sentence is why many highly attractive women have fewer partners, as they need to carefully weed through all the guys who think like that...

Sure, "plenty", "some"
None of that invalidates what the actual research found.

It's also possible that what you think is the base state is the exception.
