hot women marrying not so hot men

Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men - Yahoo! News

my favorite line of the article is

The finding "seems very reasonable," said Dan Ariely, a professor of behavioral economics at MIT's Program in Media Arts and Sciences and Sloan School of Management. "Men are very sensitive to women's attractiveness. Women seem to be sensitive to men's height and salary," said Ariely, who was not involved in the recent study.

...why do we men go for "Hot Woman"?
considering the fact that beauty is skin deep.....I remember a veteran advising me, never marry a very beautiful girl, every eye will be on her,lol.

I think those guys are really lucky who get married to a 'good person', and vice versa for girls...why marry a scumbag who earns tons of dough if the person is a scumbag.....:-)

This is nothing new, look at Princess Diana and Charles. It is rare to see a good looking man with an ugly wife, but the opposite is common(Donald Trump and his wife). Most women tend to find income potential as the most important characteristic in a mate. Men tend to look at physical beauty more.

It amazes me how crap research like this gets funded... almost every single relationship book you read will tell you the same thing:

Men are generally more visually/physically motivated - they notice a woman's attractiveness above & before all else.

Women are generally more concerned with security (financial and otherwise...), and emotional connections than they are with looks.

I have come up with the following mathematical equation:

I = 2S

I = The In-Law Nastiness Factor (INF)
S= The Significant Other Sexiness Factor (SSF)

In other words, the hotter your wife is, the nastier your in-laws will be....
