I don’t see why it is regarded as unusual – it reflects real life. I constantly see very average and in a physical sense, below average guys with extremely attractive women. Women are attracted by things a little less superficial than simply looks. More of my male friends, workmates and acquaintances have attractive wives than don’t. Also, many men, who are often superficial, refuse to form a relationship with any women who is not attractive.
There are a lot of fantastic woman out there who are not physically beautiful who have trouble finding permanent mates. You will notice the same disparity among lesbian women, but for an entirely different reason, it is because they are NOT superficial.
By the way casheroo, I think that Meridith from Grey’s Anatomy is gorgeous. Reminds me of a girl who I dated in my twenties.
Interestingly I have a very attractive wife, who is also very intelligent, successful and caring. She was stunning when I met her and is still beautiful now. I have sometimes wondered what would have happened if she hadn’t been beautiful. Once I got to know her, I would still have fallen in love, but if she had not been beautiful, I would probably not have got to know her.
