The reason for this is the differing viewpoints of men and women. <br /><br />Not to oversimplify things, but women will often overlook something like looks if the guy has the ability to be a good provider or give her status (see Bill and Melinda Gates). Or he could have a 12-inch tongue and be able to breathe through his ears. <br /><br />On the other hand, it is the rare exception for a good looking man to be with a buttfugly woman. Unless, of course, there is a really, really good reason like, say, she has lots of money. <br /><br />Although, we can't totally exclude the possibility of tru wuv. Hey, it could happen.FoggyDewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934197854661226301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-24428505274331091302009-05-22T20:35:40.907-04:002009-05-22T20:35:40.907-04:00It's not just DC.

The overabundance in D.C. probably has more to do with political power.<br /><br />It always balances out the equation if one person outkicked their coverage.<br /><br />Take, for example, my husband. Brad Pitt he is not -- cute in his own husbandly, average, guy-next-door type way, sure. But what attracted to me waaaaaay back in the day was not his appearance (I had to get to know him before I found myself at all attracted to him). Yes, he's a great guy, but not someone you would do a triple-take over walking down the street. But women -- women FAR more attractive than me -- literally throw themselves at him when they find out he is a doctor, because they know he will (someday, when he is done with all his training) have power and money.Julie @ Bunsen Burner Bakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279523327409654066noreply@blogger.com
