Attractiveness may be the case in animals. But in humans, it's largely a decision made as follows: A female will date the wealthiest man, her figure/face can attract A male will date the most attractive female he can attract, with the income he has. Income, not personality, looks, or charisma is the key determing factor. Can anyone name 1 super-model who is dating/married to an attractive busdriver, frycook, or other lower-wage earning male. If exceptions exist, the exception makes the rule.
