What's usually the motive behind an attractive woman dating an average or below average looking guy? (wives, girlfriend)

Of course there's also the notion that many women marry wealthy, average-below average looking men. That's always a thing.

That's a good point too. I've seen some women that look like an 8 or 9 with makeup on, than without it they look like a 3 or 4.

Quite possibly. To be honest, I've never seen a woman who looked truly hideous even without makeup

Not hideous but certain women definitely use makeup and clothing styles to their advantage. Push up bras and nice clothing can make a difference as well if an average woman knows how to do her makeup really well. Personally I like makeup because it enhances my features, but I definitely don't wear a lot of makeup compared to some other women. Some women literally wear 20 different products on their face! It's crazy. But I guess they feel pressured to look a certain way.

Well I don't think it makes THAT much of a difference.. Lol. More like 8 or 9 ... to 6 or 7. but I guess there might be some cases where an 8 with lots of makeup on could look like a 4 without it, if the makeup somehow greatly distorts all her features, but that's rare imo

There's some famous women I've seen without make up on & they look nowhere as attractive without make up on than with it. They go from attractive to where I don't really find them attractive at all anymore.
