[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I’ve been thinking about this thread because my husband is more attractive than I am, but I decided it’s impossible to make general statements because beauty is just too subjective.

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
