[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What? How is this a question?

First off, some people are "unattractive" themselves. I am guessing you are not confused by ugly people marrying ugly people? And that you are confused by people who are 8/9 on the looks scale marrying people who are 5/6/7? I mean ... looks are only part of who someone is. And there are other things that are at least as important if not more so when choosing a life partner. How do you get to be an adult and not understand that?

Assortive mating is definitely a thing. I'm not denying that. But multiple traits -- not just physical attractiveness  (or "great wealth" as you put it) -- are involved. [/quote]

OP here. How can a person maintain a marriage to someone who is not physically attractive? I married a funny really good looking guy. Now granted he's a worker bee not a management type, doesn't do a lot with the kids or around the house without me asking him, etc., but we've been married over 15 years.[b] I couldn't put up with the laziness and ordinariness of his ambitions unless he were good looking.

And a pretty face would never trump those things, for me. Nice looking is nice to have, lazy is a nonstarter. [/quote]
