[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men place physical attractiveness above all else. I’m not saying a man will always choose a 9 over a 7, but[b] there’s a minimum threshold[/b] that if a woman doesn’t meet she has zero chance with men who have options, regardless of her other qualities. Men can more easily make up for physical shortcomings with money and personality [/quote]

You don't see the contradiction in your post. Men do have a "minimum threshold" but that does not mean they put physical attractiveness above all else. If he is choosing among women who are above the threshold, then he will take into account other factors. For example, many men will likely choose "well educated professional who is less physically hot" over "poorly educated waitress who is physically extremely hot" - at least for marital purposes, heh heh.[/quote]

No they still do prioritize physical attraction above all else. In your example he would pick the educated professional who was less hot than the waitress but only if the professional was still decently hot. If a man can get a 9, he might settle for a 7 if she’s got other things going for her, but it’s going to be hard for a 5 or 6 to compete with a 9 regardless of her other qualities. [/quote]
