...who says that? Women have all kinds of physical preferences. Weight, body type, hair color, basically everything a man has.

Somebody pretty much every time the subject comes up on sites where there are a lot of women, I've found.

I don't agree with them, but the argument is there.

So...someone is just saying it happens. I know lots of sites where they say Bigfoot is real, don't mean it is.

I would check out her post above, it goes into more detail about the issue. But the big thing she points out really is the trope in media where "good" women like men for who they are, not what they look like.

And that actually reminds me... One of the stereotypes about men and women is that men are attracted more to looks and women are attracted more to personality.

Oh also, I've seen what she's talking about a lot. It's one of the big things guys who have trouble dating complain about, how women are all "shallow" and that's why they can't find anyone. Meanwhile, they'll turn around and refuse to date any woman who doesn't fit a physical type.

And then, if you point out the hypocrisy, say that it isn't really hypocrisy because it's "different" for men (visual! biology! fertility, even though they don't want kids! etc.). I'm not really sure how much double-think is required to wrap your head around "it doesn't matter that I'm old and ugly, people should see me for who I am, and if they don't they're dumb shallow sluts" while at the same time "I would never date someone old and ugly, which is perfectly fair, because I'm wired that way."
