The one who earns less gets to be the uglier one. I make more money than my DH. He’s gorgeous and I’m average at best. He’s a great husband and father.

Earns less or did you mean more?

Yes. The one that makes more gets to be the uglier spouse.

If women move past wealth, height and smooth talkers, there are always good men to find. I just don't understand why character, intellect, temperament type things don't matter more to women?

I was smart, pretty, skinny, well educated, fun and had a great career. I had many suitors. It is constant battle with Dh about division of labor with the kids.

BIL is a single, well educated and successful. DH told BIL he could marry someone who doesn’t challenge him and lets him have a peaceful life vs someone like me. BIL seems to still want someone ambitious and career oriented.

Luck plays a role.
Some people are simply unlucky in love.
Everyone talks about being pretty, thin, fun, etc.., but there are more average looking women who are not thin thin pretty thin ones.

These characteristics are not unconnected.

A manlet is more likely to be immoral, stupid, and ill-natured than a tall man.

The funny thing is, even some married people are not marriage material. Just look at divorce rates. Marriage is hard. It's a lot easier if you meet the "right" person but that's pretty much luck/timing, and can come at the cost of other things (career).
