Or consider that dating site for hot people where veterans vote new prospects in our out based on their photos. Countries that do best (highest percentage of people accepted) are just mid-range in average IQ. Whereas countries which are at top of IQ hierarchy (countries with populations primarily from NE Asia) have very low acceptance rates for their men. Ashkenazi Jews as a group score way above the second best group on IQ tests. Yet some of the smartest people from this group also often have very long and unattractive faces. Some African countries are full of men with very handsome masculine faces. Guess how well most of these guys do at tests of IQ?WuFan wrote: I feel like I´m the one being trolled by you guys. Anyone that has ever went to school, or even left the house will notice that people date in the same looks range whereas a lot of women date up.
And yes, face trumps all. People can immediately see the quality of your genes by looking at your face.
Men will drop their standards if a girl has only got an okay face, but a great body. Women never drop their standards.
If a woman is dating in her league she´ll feel like she´s dating down. Women are hypergamous. To answer your points:
a) Agreed. However in the western world a 35 year old below average looking, fat single mother still has more dating options than a 25 year old male model looking guy with a promising career.
b) yes. That´s why a lot of men cheat on their old, ugly wives with hot young prostitutes.
c) This woman spent around 100k on surgery.
She was 56 years old when that picture was taken. Plastic surgery can be a great investment for some. For others it can be a waste of money.
d) wrong. On average beautiful people are more intelligent, stronger and more ambitious than less attractive people. There have been tons of studies done on this. The reason is simple. They have better genes. Pro athletes are on average much better looking than the normal population. Most quarterbacks could be professional male models. The idea that everyone is create equal and has the same potential is laughable.

I just don't think the correlation is anything close to a 1.0. However, it is true that certain groups seem to be very low in both IQ and physical attractiveness.
As I said beautiful people on average are more intelligent than non beautiful people.But why does it seem the super intelligent physicist types are often way below average looking?
There are always exceptions. It would be the same as posting a picture of Yao Ming and saying that all Asians are super tall. Yes, there are some tall Asians, but on average they are short.
