Disagree. Everyone is making a rational choice before going into
a r/s. And anyone who wants to go into a serious relationship will
look at an array of attributes and character traits instead of only
looks. examples are looks. ability to earn, work ethnic, how family
oriented etc etc.
Non exhaustive example*
Guy
girl
looks
looks
character
character
friends she keeps
friends he keeps
current assets
ability to earn
social status
job/talent
current assets and ability to earn is usually put into a
category under "security" by females.
social status - famous men always get the babes be it for money
or glam/fame (jus see the footballers)
job/talent - dunno why but sometime ago, many of my female
friends want jay chou...
Of cos the emphasis on the traits will be different for
everyone.
Girls seem more discerning probably because they expect more...
cos they have the right to. Much have changed in society, but guys
having to take up responsibility, be it financially, problem
solving etc etc. Girls have the right to say :"I want to be taken
care of." guys dont. LOL. i am not saying its wrong, its just the
way it is.
