Agree but wouldn't say ugly side. There are reasons behind it which are common sense and not counter-productive.

Eh..... I don't know.

Common sense for sure.

As far as counter-productive? I'd say it's neither productive, NOR counter-productive. It just is what it is...

Of course let's not pretend that there aren't PLENTY of men who'd LOVE to land a less-attractive, but wealthy woman, and conversely, there is NO shortage of women who need to be with a "hot" guy....

If a chick is in the relationship largely because of your money. There are plenty of ways that will be counter productive to your relationship.

Either you accept that you are superficial and some women are as well - or you don't.

There's no point in being hypocritical and bashing women for the same thing you are doing.
I must agree.

A man who wants a woman to have certain-sized breasts or butt or certain-shaped and certain-length legs is no different than a woman who wants a diamond ring that is at least a certain size or a man whose salary is at least a certain amount or....

I think that if I marry I'll end up with an average looking woman.

Why?

Cuz I am not rich. :/

Nothing wrong with average looking women. They tend to love more because they don't want to lose you!

I agree. But I as a man like and want physical beauty.

Read my newly created thread "looks vs. content."

Depends on how you define average looking lol. People have sometimes vastly different standards.

I tend to think anyone who states they do not care about looks is not speaking the whole truth...

Likely true, but such men can afford to get married multiple times. When things get "counter productive", its time to move on.
