Most likely the male dentist will choose the marketer because men tend to value looks much more.

I never implied that financially successful unattractive women should take what they can get. It's just that it's not as valued to men as it is to women.
Change the marketer to shift leader at McDonald's making $10/hour and I am almost certain he will choose female dentist. I prefer to think that not all men are so dense that intelligence and ambition are not attractive traits to them.

Sorry I meant to say, "the more successful a woman is, the harder her dating life"

Compare a female billionaire such as Oprah Winfrey vs someone like Mark Zuckerberg.

No one is criticizing how Oprah Winfrey's choice. It is because everyone knows that's who she can get.

Everyone is questioning Mark Zuckerberg's marriage. Why is he dating his ugly woman? etc etc? This is because people expect that Mark can get any woman he wants.

Well we can make an educated guess that he won't choose the person working at McDonalds, anyway.

I agree with what an earlier poster said...they choose from the most attractive woman with in a range of education etc.

If looks only mattered he'd choose the woman working at McDonalds.

Mark Zuckerberg's woman is not ugly. She is average by most men's standard. Where did you get ugly from.

She's a Harvard-educated doctor.

She's not ugly at all, just not what a lot of people expect a billionaire to a marry.

However like posters have said, she was with him when he was broke. Also, before he became rich I don't think he was a chick magnet who had a lot of choice anyways.

Also, as they both age, have kids, most likely he will cheat if he hasn't already. Too much choice and opportunities for a young billionaire to remain faithful. Longer time spent together usually creates boredom and the ugly roving eye starts.

All that really matters is if Mark finds her attractive and is satisfied. I think she's fairly attractive, enough I wouldn't be on the lookout for somebody else, though I wouldn't fault others for thinking differently. I don't know, I always thought I was pickier than average regarding looks, but if she's barely above average for most guys.. maybe it's more like I'm very specific about the types of looks I like, but am not all that picky once that type is met.
