This comment is reminiscent of a funny interview Larry David did on Conan:
> My problem is that I was very particular, which is odd because I was very desperate at the time. (...) You'll find that a lot of desperate people are very particular, like even Quasimodo. The hunchback had to have the best looking girl in the village. And then his friends would like and fix him up. They'd go "Quasi, there's a very nice girl in my office, a wonderful personality; I want to introduce you to her." (With a bizarre voice:) "Is she good looking?" "But Quasi! You're a monster! You're a heinous beast! What are you talking about?!" (Same bizarre voice:) "She has to be good looking."

- jazzythom 4y agoThat’s very funny and true but it makes sense. You want your offspring hopefully to be more attractive than you are, in addition to other beneficial hereditary traits. And its a competitive play, since each successive generation seems to be more attractive generally, with the losers of each round childless. So you’re leveraging your other qualities to the maximum without going too far and ending up with nothing. Its a gamble
