I think that the way we view ourselves is very important in what we will choose in our lover.
I don’t think it doesn’t matter.

That’s a very good and interesting question.

I would say “yes”. Attractive people do seem to get
more “breaks” in life and that could very well be one of them.

Hi,
Attraction needed but at home and in privacy. The 2 attractive couples should axpress thier love and joy at home not in public. No cheats will come if couples trust each other.
Thank you

Someone, please delete the obvious spam from Joanna – and if it wasn’t spam, why the blatant plug and formatting for the web address? Call a moderator.

Back on topic – I’m pleased to see that they were able to get objective “hot looks for hot” and so does “not hot”, but perhaps along with the data supporting a tendency for people to date “at their level”, there is room to look at those who are ‘not’ but whose self-confidence/self-image puts them at a higher level than that to which they are entitled (by the court of public opinion)?

What about very attractive females who will not date attractive men because they think there is more possibility of cheating or roving eye, so they date men who are less attractive (but are very intelligent).

I’ve always noticed that couples tend to be of the same attractiveness level. The only diverson from this is when the man is very rich and powerful and can attract beautiful women but somehow that seems disingenuous.

I am an unattractive woman and I am not attracted to other unattractive partners, so I am single.

I have to wonder whether attraction between unattractive people is actually much lower, and whether most people are prepared to settle for less because they know it’s all they can get.

i wonder: have there been any studies about the therapist/client dyad–specifically, about whether a therapist is more likely to be invested in his/her client if the client is attractive?

Someone should run a study on the differences between men and women because I think men are far more likely to date women that are as physically attractive as them or more attractive than them, while women are a little more lenient in this regard.
