Everybody responding to this is focusing on, "Everybody cares about looks to some extent." And like, yeah, to some extent. But you're also very much right that straight men, on average, prioritize looks in their potential partners way, way more than straight women, on average, prioritize looks in their potential partners.

Which frankly, sucks for all women, not just the ones who aren't considered good looking. Because what it actually stems from is the tendency for straight men to perceive women's value, first and foremost, by how much they'd like to fuck them. Which is not about their value as people but about their value as potential objectives to be obtained.

As someone who is generally placed somewhere between good-looking and very good-looking on the theoretical "looks scale," it took me until I was about nineteen or twenty before I realized that the majority of the men I talked to, who always acted like what I had to say was ~so interesting~ and that I was ~such an interesting person~, were not actually interested in what I had to say or who I was, unless that information could give them the key to getting in my pants.

Is there some kind of material evidence supporting the idea that this is significantly more a priority for straight men than for straight women?

Yeah like... The amount of women who absolutely refuse to date any guy who isn't taller than them but then turn around and complain guys only go after looks...

I very much doubt it. I think most people in general, straight or gay, male or female, judge potential romantic/sexual partners on attractiveness whether they admit to it or not.
