Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men

Women seeking a lifelong mate might do well to choose the guy a notch below them in the looks category. New research reveals couples in which the wife is better looking than her husband are more positive and supportive than other match-ups.

The finding "seems very reasonable," said Dan Ariely, a professor of behavioral economics at MIT's Program in Media Arts and Sciences and Sloan School of Management. "Men are very sensitive to women's attractiveness. Women seem to be sensitive to men's height and salary," said Ariely, who was not involved in the recent study.

Those who wish to see this in action need only attend a conference (any conference) primarily attended by electronics engineers.

for me, and i think most people, looks are a factor, but what is inside the package is more important in the long run.

Ah HA! So, it IS their "packages" that you gals are most interested in!

I'll admit it - I could generally care less what a guy's salery is, as long as he's not expecting me to support him.  His height, yeah, that's a factor because by experience I know I don't do well dealing with men who have a Napolean Complex due to lack of stature.
 
His personality?  Depends on whether I intend to do more than screw him until he begs for a chance to rest or intend to keep him around for a while.  If the only reason I'm out with him is to boink him I could give a flip what sort of personality he has - but his looks are gonna be a definate make or break point.  If I intend to keep him around - his personality  becomes a factor, but if he hasn't got sufficient Physical chemistry/looks there to begin with, I doubt I'll make it to a point of considering keeping him around on tap.
 
Beauty in the eye of the beholder? PPPppppfffffffttttttt.. please.  While there is Some truth to that, and the concept of "inner beauty is  more important" - if there isn't physical attraction, ya don't bother to dig deeply enough to begin to Find "inner" beauty.  (And frankly, if looking at them makes me nauseas, it's unlikely that I'm going to Want to spend time talking to their "potentially beautiful inner self.")

"BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP, BUT 'UGLY' GOES STRAIGHT TO THE BONE!!!"

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart
~ Kahlil Gibran ~

Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness.
~ D. H. Lawrence ~

Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.
~ Marcus Aurelius Antoninus ~

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
~ Albert Einstein ~

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
~ Edgar Allen Poe ~

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.
~ Helen Keller ~
