There was an article about a study on such the other day; whilst people may still be attracted to the beautiful people of their preferred gender, they tend to aim for ones that they know they can reasonably accomplish based on looks alone. Ie, they try to stay within their "categories" while still doing the best they can.
Seen a lot of matchups between an attractive person,
and someone kinda so-so, where the latter tends to
be bold.
Hence the word "tend". Obviously, not everyone matches up to what the experts say they should.
Well, to the degree that a friend of mine
(who was just upset that she let her roomie
have dibs on me - but hadn't been assertive
enough - wasn't used to it) came up with a
whole theory that this was actually the norm.
I guess it depends on standards. I don't see
too many really equal match ups, by my standards
of beauty. Then again, they ain't the norm.

I could see how that works. Still, I know some very (physically) beautiful people with very unattractive personalities. I would rather base on personality than looks, but it's a personal opinion.
Oh sure. I'm not saying to hell with either.
There are just baselines, in both categories.
And somehow, personality seems to go in
hand with my standard of beauty.
