Uh I feel like it's fictional to frame it as if women don't care about physical looks. Just go to a cafe and see who they are paired up with. Rarely do I see huge variance with physical attractiveness between the pair. Or read dating stories on Washington Post's date lab where as a reader you can decipher physical attraction between the participants within first few paragraphs and accurately predict the likelihood of the participants dating a second time.

- danielrhodes 11y agoWell you are right that it is certainly not an absolute truth. Some people do select mostly on appearance. However, since appearance is so subjective and the way we are seen is not absolute, attractiveness loses a lot of meaning. I think it is also dependent on age: younger people tend to go for appearances far more. Nonetheless, confidence is not as subjective: it really has a positive impact when all other things are held equal.
