Based on a lot of the comments in this thread, I guess it's a miracle that half the people I see every day at the grocery store, the gas station, the drug store, the department store, the DMV, etc are married or partnered or otherwise non-single.
What matters is not feeling embarrassed amongst one’s male friends, and not having to backpedal and make excuses that one’s female partner is, in fact, not one’s girlfriend, but some casual associate.
If that's an issue, one should get new friends. And if one is so lame as to not stand up for one's choice in mates, and for one's mate, but feels the need for subterfuge, one has a lot of maturing to do, and probably shouldn't be inflicting oneself on women.

I think the opinions of one's friends are often taken by the individual as an indicator of the individual's worth or market value, nobody wants to see themselves as deficient or defective.
It's funny. I have a female friend at work that says the same thing. She always goes on and on about how personality matters. Yet, the only guys she dates are tall and good looking. Never varies.
Most women are like this, in my experience. This is why I tell men to take advice from women with a grain of salt. Women say the politically correct thing, but act as I've said.
For women (just like men), the guy has to be very good looking just to get his foot in the door. Then he must have the personality traits the woman wants. This was echoed by a female poster earlier in this thread.
I am not saying to take what women say... I am saying to read articles about things that women find attractive. It's not all about looks for all women. Sure there are women who go for looks first... just like there are some women where looks are further down the line of importance. Same with men, there are men out there who only care about hot women... just because some man I know only dates hot blondes doesn't mean all men think just like him. People are different in what they find attractive in a potential mate. But I am saying overall, looks aren't as important as some guys here think.
I think women are more critical about looks overall (in both themselves and men), but that doesn't mean it's as big a factor. I know I've cited it before, but there was an OK Cupid where women said 80% of the men were below average on looks... but they were messaging them anyway. So logically it's not always about looks. Men said more women were good looking, but most of the messages men sent were only to the best looking women.
I can't find the actual survey now (and I need to cook dinner). But here is a blog post about it and why men really shouldn't worry so much about their looks.

Should we start our own bow wow club?
