Lovely???? Kim Kardashian is not even remotely pretty. Her face is pure plastic and her figure looks skewed to me. Pete is average looking. Though he is too skinny and pale but at least he is not surgically enhanced

Everything else comes second or further down. It's not uncommon at all for a guy to snag a looker and then be all baffled when she turns out to be a psycho or a bad mother or have a nasty personality, etc. They don't mind it too much if she turns out to be kind of low IQ, in fact many seem to prefer that as well.

I would prefer a merit scholar over a beauty pageant winner.

Ditto. Let’s face it, kids’ll be better off inheriting high IQ and maternal income AND free tutoring and home grown college consulting as well.

Another woman pretending to be a man. You are delusional. Men are driven by sex. They don't get aroused by the thought of "home grown consulting." Handsome men who marry unattractive women are 1) gay or 2) looking for financial and social opportunities. Both cheat with men or good looking women.

Then why did my ex cheat on me with an objectively uglier woman? And I'm definitely sex-positive.

Answer: people are complicated and it's not as simple as you present. Maybe you are simple I can't speak to that- but other people have layers.

You can't be serious. You need therapy.

She was short, really quite heavy and looked like a famous male character actor. People were quite shocked and expressed that to me. Is is so unbelievable that I know I'm better looking than her? I honestly don't even hold any ill will towards them but he ended up with an uglier woman.

Husband is objectively hot, but he’s also non-white, which causes some people to overlook him and also left him less secure about his looks. He also usually dresses poorly. At least when we’re out together, I only notice other women staring when he’s fancied up in a suit. (I hate it, it does make me insecure, so I’m glad we don’t dress up very often!)

But then also, I’m hard to categorize. I’m above average, but far from gorgeous or hot. But when I was single I always, *always* had a circle of devoted men who wanted to date me. So there must be more to attraction than purely looks? FWIW, I’m a happy person who I’ve been told has the personality of a beloved kindergarten teacher, and I thiink a lot of men find that appealing. Based on his ex-girlfriend and celebrity crushes, I’m pretty sure I’m exactly my husband’s “type” as well.

But to the extent that you CAN generalize, husband is definitely hotter. He’s also younger and makes more money. But I know I’m a 10/10 as a life partner, and some men genuinely do see intelligence and personality as the most important factor.

Are you white? A lot of POC are attracted to lighter skin and dating someone white is an upgrade. I know it's wrong but it's also real. I'm from an eastern European country and we had a major problem with poor country girls, the tall blonde ones, being trafficked in the Middle East and Asia.

Yes. Forgot to include that as a factor but I am. Agree that it’s “wrong but also real.”

Think its kind of common especially as we get older. My best friend is in her 50's very fit and attractive, her husband is a good 50 lb if not more, overweight. Not a great looking guy but has personality plus. He still makes her laugh like crazy.
So I get it. There is much more to the eye than looks!

Kim Kardashian is by far the most beautiful woman walking on this earth. I cannot imagine another woman who is in the same league as her.
