    Because that is how it is in our culture, generally speaking.

    Last night my boyfriend and I were answering a lot of random questions from a book, and one of them was "What do you think would most attract the opposite sex to you...more money, more education, or better looks?" While both of us are "above average" attractive, have college educations and decent jobs, my answer was better looks because I know men are GENERALLY into skinny women with flowing long hair (while I'm really curvy with short hair) and his answer was more money (since a lot of women are really into $). I think we were both correct in our answers.

    I don't think that's true at all. We're both visually based as human beings which is the reason why we had an edge over the Neanderthals so many years ago. Women might not express their concerns as openly but the initial attraction is going to be based on looks, either way.

    Women are absolutely as shallow as men, perhaps for different criteria, like prestige and income, but it's all the same. I would never hold any person's appearance or life situation against them in determining whether to be friends with them, but no person has any obligation to choose a mate/romantic partner who doesn't meet whatever criteria they happen to want. In my case, I've had my heart ripped out of my chest and pi$$ed on a couple of times, and I am simply not willing to risk that degree of pain and upheaval to my life for a woman who doesn't absolutely mesmerize me. Not sorry, and I'm not throwing my heart out on the craps table for just anyone. She has to be hot, breathtaking, intelligent, funny, and sweet, or I'm just not playing. I'll spend the rest of my life alone first.

    Men like to have an attractive woman as it shows he is powerful in many ways. Women look for security and strength, not looks. There will always be one better looking in all couples, it's a numbers game.

    Because breeding good babies is all women can really accomplish in life. Men do all the other important things.
