I have no intention to wife up any "mid bitch" as you put it. Investing all of your resources into and giving up your freedom for a woman of mediocre looks who will most likely start to bore you or even make your life miserable a couple of years down the line is an extremely bad proposition. More often than not TMM (traditional monogamous marriage) is a dud product for men. Tradcons are idiots.
Well said brother!I couldn't imagine wifing up a not so special woman that doesn't thrill me everytime I look at her,ready to pounce!looksmaxing is a dead end in this regard,true hotties go for money and status,but then the relationship is still escortcelling anyway.
Well, every man has different tastes for looks, and I think some men aren't that particular (and hence end up with women that make you think the man isn't that particular.) But I couldn't help it. I wanted a pretty girl. I was selective, prayed a lot, and ended up with a woman whose looks appealed to me.
When I was young, I had a Korean English student probably in his early 30's. He invited me over to his house and gave me some unsolicited marital advice. He said that looks are important at first, but after you get married, they aren't the most important thing. He also talked with his dad about being sure enough to marry. He had said he was 67% sure. His dad said that was sure enough. They used to really marry them off in South Korea.

I was there in the mid-1990's.
I have to agree that good character and getting along well are more important over all, but I also wanted to be able to tell my wife she was beautiful without feeling like I was lying. When I was at home alone with her, and she'd come out of the shower or we were engaging in some fun recreational activities alone, I wanted looking at her to thrill me. I think that's a normal desire.
If you marry a woman, you don't have to pick someone you consider 'mid-range.' I wouldn't even date a girl who I thought was definitely not 'marriagably good-looking.' I did date a couple of girls who were right at the bottom of my range, though. But my wife was a few notches up, for my own personal tastes. I know other men were vying for the attention of my 'lower range' dates, also.
If a girl is too good-looking, she might also get jealousy from other girls and some men might be afraid to approach her or have this attitude of 'what do you have to offer besides looks' so she might not always be a spoiled princess.
If little kids are cute in Indonesia, they call them 'ugly', too.
do Traditional conservatives not get marriage for the sake of marriage is just a meme and a blind idea from their adherence to fundementalism?
Sex outside of marriage is a sin. But I wanted sex... and marriage... with a beautiful woman. Fornicators who go out and get drunk probably have lower standards. A woman being just barely good-looking enough to have sex with, versus a woman who has to be good-looking enough to be the only women you ever have sex with... which one has to be good-looking. Like I said, some men aren't that particular, and that's how most people who marry not-the-best looking people end up together, or else they have different ideas of beauty and likes the looks of a woman I wouldn't care for that much. 'You have nice eyes' is what someone says when they get a partner who isn't the best looking, but has nice eyes. Of course, an attractive person could have especially pretty eyes, or a PUA tries not to over-complement a girl, so gives a little dose like that.
I suspect there are a lot of guys who have a 'low range' of their scale of looks for dating or sleeping around, the girl gets pregnant, the guy wants to be in the kids life, and he ends up marrying a woman not as good-looking as if he were picking one-and-only out for a life-long sex partner. Not as good-looking, or not as of high a moral character, or not as sane and stable....

There are also guys who get emotionally attached to a woman after hanging around with her and sleeping with her.
I just didn't date a girl unless she seemed to meet my basic standards and expectations, looks included. I didn't date all that much. I was selective. I didn't have to have someone on my arm. I could eat alone or with friends.
Well said!how are tradcons going to give every man that joins their movement a wife that is actually loveable?most women are mid and not a good investment of time,labor,money or loyalty.
I think I've got the quotes right, but I'm not sure if this is Willy.
Be happy if another man goes for 'mid' for looks. If she's a 9 or 10 for him, but a 4 or 5 for you, that leaves one more 8, 9, or 10 for looks on the marriage market for you. Let the other guys marry up the mids. It's all subjective.
I just put this there because certain fundies accuse me of being a hell bound sinner because I do not want to marry a traditional woman,usually only option is the phillipines,full of mid and ugly women with wierd accents and boyish bodies.
A raving feminist is NOT a traditional woman. It sounds like you WANT a traditional woman.
If you don't like the Filippina look, look elsewhere. I don't agree with your assessment of Filipinas. Lots of white women are mid or on the left of the bell curve for looks, and have boyish bodies. Some are fat. Some even have weird accents in the US, depending on your perspective. Sarah Palin wasn't a young woman on the marriage market when she ran for VP, but her accent was weird.
But don't you find some Filipinas to be attractive? I've seen some really beautiful faces on Filipinas. If you want a top-heavy woman, I mean by western standards, East or Southeast Asia is not the place to go. There is some range there. For me, I wanted a woman who had breasts and hips and buttocks-- shaped like a woman, not a boy. But I liked a thin woman with a flat stomach. The thin side of average build, with feminine jaw, girlish arms-- not fat or muscular arms or shoulders to model hourglass built was the range I found attractive. There were plenty of the thin, female shaped form in Southeast Asia.
Honestly, most Indonesian women's faces don't do much for me. It seems like 1- to 2% instead of 3 to 5% (like in the US or maybe China) of young, thin, college aged girl's looks might hit the minimum range for looks for me when I was young and looking for a wife. But there was the 1 to 2%, out of literally millions of people, where I was, I suppose, considered a prime catch, and the girls were seriously hoping for a marriage partner in the space of a few years. I was getting a lot of attention over there from girls, whether subtle cues or even direct statements of interest. When I first got there, a girl I had spoken with briefly at a bus stop gave me her business card-- with her name and phone number on it. Girls were sending gifts home with me to give my mom over Christmas (warm up a hopeful mother-in-law). Some were really direct with the flirtation. I even had a stalker. But if they weren't what I was looking for, I didn't ask them out just to have someone to date.
