Notice that it was created by a male who is in a situation where is wife is obviously cheating. He can't admit it and HE is currently in therapy for some perceived flaw that she has assigned him.
This is a good representation of the vast majority of threads that I see.
Interesting. My recollection is that the majority of "cheating" threads by married people are posted by women. But, whatever.
Consider the following two online dating profiles: One is a 6'2, 210 lbs of lean muscle, blonde-haired Caucasian man with green eyes. The other is a 5'5, middle-eastern man with brown eyes that might be packing a few extra pounds but not clearly overweight.
Now, if women truly had a diverse set of tastes, there should be just as many women who respond and are attracted to both these men as there are those who ignore them. Does anyone realistically expect that to be the outcome of this experiment? Even if you believe that there are some features that are universal but that women are still varied to a large extent in their preferences, then there should at least be some responses to the middle-eastern man. Not even a single response of interest, actually. If you don't believe me, you should try this experiment for yourself on the online dating website of your choice.
In your experience, do you agree or disagree with the above? Do you agree that men can find a large number of diverse and completely different looking women to be attractive, while women seem to be rather homogenous in their taste and what they find attractive?
Why or why not?
Why must it just be men? I think we all have different ideas as much as we are quite different from one person to the next. Sure, we may share some similarities as do twins, but even then they may have varying likes and dislikes. Age sometimes changes/broadens the horizons as does meeting more people of varying backgrounds.

I wouldn't go for either, unless maybe there was something in their profile that was interesting. And why choose middle-eastern for your experiment? What about Asian?

Considering that there are married "5'5, middle-eastern men with brown eyes that might be packing a few extra pounds but not clearly overweight" out there, someone must be interested in them.

This is what I was thinking. I was also wondering why for his second option he chose a type from a zone that's in armed conflict with the US.

Yes, there are. The women that were unable to land the more desirable men. Then, they either consciously or subconsciously adjust their standards.

Spot on. Not sure why this is such a difficult concept for people to wrap their head around. It's like most women are in denial.

j I don't know why men assume that women who go for short guys, brown guys, short-and-brown guys, scrawny guys, shy guys or average/below average-in-appearance guys assume that women are "settling". This shows profound ignorance about how women think. Probably those guys make the same assumption about their fellow men who settle for chubby women, plain women, flat-chested women. This shows a profound ignorance about human nature and attraction.
Most people who go for individuals who aren't conventionally attractive like magazine models aren't "settling".
