Your experience on that field is not exactly matching the outcome of the article. It states that women are more sensitve to height and salary and not just particularly personality. What's true then?

 

[Kirosia]

From what I've seen, really young women tend to go for looks/status, while more "experienced" ones tend to prioritize personality/stability.

A great personality can go a long way to make someone's stock rise. You first meet someone and maybe there's no attraction at all. Then you get to know them and they're awesome to be around, they're great. They rock your world.

And that stock starts to rise and now suddenly, you're attracted.

That scenario goes both ways, so, meh to the study.

 

[GlendaleViper]

Meh to the study from me, too. It seems to have the average moron in mind anyway and, as already mentioned, we've seen the statistical results when your average shallow relationship decides to marry.

Where's the study for exceptional people finding exceptional people and enjoying exceptional relationships?

Anyway, as you can see, I'm a hot buttered biscuit, so I guess I don't fall into the demographic.

This study is bogus...a more appropriate study would be:

Why ugly women marry ugly men?

I'm sure there are many here would like to see this study done as well as participate.

Truth is held in this post. Although, the same can be said about men, just to a lesser extent.

Talking about women, or hooking up, or anything of that nature is a two edged sword, and is almost like talking politics. You have people that defend the crap outta some points, and others, that really don't care...

It's the reason there's the cliche' "hot girls have ugly friends to make themselves feel prettier." How much truth is held in that statement obviously varies from person to person, and some people don't hold ANY truth in that statement...but there are cliche' statements for a reason.

 

[Jaska]

Beautiful women don't necessarily wed ugly men. Instead, jealous men coveting those married women convince themselves in their intoxicating self-glory that they are more attractive than the women's husbands.

IMHE, there's a lot of truth in this post. I have met so many women over the years that were good looking, but dull as dishwater. OTOH, I have met so many women who were a little lower on the looks scale, but their personality made them very attractive.

Looks fade, personality remains. Chase looks when your playing the field, but never settle down with a bitch - she will always be a bitch.

I'm not overly tall, and I can recall dating only two taller women. The trick for me was to simplly find someone shorter than me - no big deal. I'm not really into tall women anyway

As I've said before, what's the point of being beautiful if you can't trade that beauty for wealth and security?

That's so true. You can't marry someone in hopes of changing them. Men and women both do this, and sure you can change small things, but not the core of who someone is. Kinda like having a kid to save a marriage.

 

[Tyson]

But then, physical consummation w/a "b!tch" can be intensely gratifying. As long as you remember that they are 'short-timers'.

 

[plainsong]

The same can be said of guys who are ********. It's a two-way street. Guys can use us, and we can use them right back.

 

[Tyson]

Of course, you are absolutely right

I'm hoping you're very young, which is the only excuse for such a grossly inaccurate statement. Either that, or you have really poor taste in women. Maybe both.
