It's not at all possible that he is smart, funny, and loving?

Seems like a lot of men answering this thread.

I assume that they fell in love and have a lot in common, and probably really enjoy each others' company.

Nah. Women don’t care about that for long term relationships - especially if the guy isn’t even attractive!

Money. Also, I assume he has money. The other factors I think about... Who am I kidding, it's of course about money

Money

In reality, a lot of those sweet geeks are true assholes and the confident attractive guys have great personalities. Insecure beautiful women often can’t cope with someone on their level, especially if a less attractive man says and does all the right things at the beginning.

My ex wasn't good looking but I thought he was a sweet nerd who wouldn't cheat on me......WRONG should have waited for a better looking confident guy without a nerd chip on his shoulder.

My thought is: Damn, all those years I spent envious of pretty women like her, and what did it get her? Nothing."

Is this a serious answer?

Yeah, money

BDE

I'd say it's something at least 9" long, with some girth to it as well.

"This goes against everything they always say on DCUM!"

I think the assumption is that he is successful, or that he has something about himself that makes himself appealing (e.g. ready to settle down).

When I was training at the gym, and a beautiful woman walked in with an unattractive husband, all the male trainers would always joke that he was probably rich. It was just a group of trainers at my gym, so not sure if that's what most men or people would say.

I did have a close male friend who told me that when he saw a great looking woman with an average guy, that his view of the man improved. I asked him why that was and he told me that it was because the man was able to "sell himself" well enough to the woman to lock her down. I guess another term for that would be 'game.'

Since this thread is already shallow as can be, I'll add that I've noticed an uptick of very average (but not necessarily ugly) looking young women (age 25-35) who are dating great looking men. This is in my industry, which is very profitable. I tend to think that the woman's salary and her generally having her shit together is probably particularly appealing to these men young men, who have strong economic pressures on them (student loans, high cost of housing, etc). The women in my industry generally out earn their partners.

Money, power, connections, especially for your kids.
