I try to be logical about it. Sometimes I do have facts to fight the cynical thoughts with, but not in this case. I have not once seen a decent guy settle for a female that is unattractive (by "decent" I do not mean by looks, but in every other way). I even had someone who was once a friend try to justify it to me that they need to be attracted to the person in order to "get it up". What about when looks fade, though? Is that why so many relationships seem shallow and divorce rates are so high? That's my theory, anyways. Sure, some people have learned to look beyond appearances, but it seems impossible to find men that can do so unless they're utter trash human beings and don't get a choice in the matter if they want to be with anyone.

Of course, I do know that everyone has a different definition of "attractive" - but I feel grossed out when I think about the fact that someone would basically have to have a fetish for someone like me... Ugh. I just want looks to not matter at all.
