*good looking |
So who did you end up with? |
You forgot looks. My above average looking seven figure earning BIL is looking for a wife. I tried to introduce him to the nicest person I know who is an amazing person inside and out. She has a plain face and doesn’t have a model figure. She isn’t exactly thin. BIL wouldn’t even meet her because he didn’t find her attractive. As a female, I think she is soooooooo attractive. |
This is true. I was more attractive in my twenties than in high school because I got my nose fixed and starting taking care of my skin, wearing light makeup and doing my hair (in high school, I was an athlete and just didn't care about those things). I went from almost no attention from boys to having my pick in twenties. The only thing that changed was my appearance. |
It's much more important for most people to be at least around average in all important categories and to avoid being too far behind the below average in any deal breaker type category.
I.e. charming sexy makes a lot of money but is a problem drinker or spendaholic. What kills relationships are the deal breakers. You can get straight As in all but one category but if you get an F in something important, you flunk the LTR test |
If you don't get it, you don't have it and you are not high value anything.
Plys it might be different in different cultures, personalities and strata. For me personally, it means highly educated and high IQ and not from a trashy family. |
Looks and figure are most important ideally thin blonde and European descent after that is attitude and kindless |
I did and added later. His loss but beauty is in tge eyes of beholder. If a person doesn't feel attracted to someone, than it doesn't how beautiful they are. We are humans with different tastes and preferences. |
I married the smart hard working guy. I picked right. He is well respected and at the top of his field. His earnings are probably what makes him high value. I appreciate much more what an amazing father he is. My kids are lucky to have him. I often feel lucky that my daughter has such a loving and doting dad. |
All of those are important, but I'd prefer a state university gal over ivy educated. |
I am sure you will find that. A perfect family of origin. |
+1 I know many women who believe in their head that they are better looking than they actually are, IRL. Look around. |
I got a guy others would consider "high value" (high earner, attractive, excellent dad, good husband, etc.) and I'm so glad I didn't try to change who I was or act differently to get a husband. He loved me for me, and after 16 years he still does. |
+1 Married 30 years and laughing way out loud about the "person" "requirements". Never mind the "family" "requirements". Good luck, though! |
