It's just an interesting contradiction to me, and I also find it interesting how upset some people seem to get when I point it out. Yet it's unarguable: all else being equal everybody (without issues) should celebrate their friend, relative etc. being with an obviously good catch. And nobody (without issues) intentionally picks the inferior partner, beauty being in the eye of the beholder arguments notwithstanding.

Competition and dating are good, I don't think anyone is arguing with that. Confusing the two is like confusing capitalism and communism. Both systems affect the economy but in very different ways for very different reasons. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics
