Actually, I doubt if any of us think looks are the
only thing important to women. And I doubt if most of us think looks are always the
most important thing to women. Or that they all necessarily share the traditional stereotype of what constitutes male attractiveness
It's the talking in absolute terms -- that looks mean
nothing to most women -- that seems implausible. IP and Fancy have admitted it's a factor, even if not the only/most important. And I
suspect a majority of the women members of ECCIE, if talking just among themselves rather than to a pool of prospective customers with fragile egos, might agree with them.
Not that I have ever seen or heard such private conversations, of course. Just my suspicion.
And I'll even agree that a few women might actually be telling the truth when saying looks are unimportant. Fat, thinning and scraggly hair, discolored and/or missing teeth, misshapen features, deformities, and all. (Think Quasimodo.). Maybe you're one of those few women.
But I
suspect most women, if they were being honest, would say: "Looks are not the only factor that attracts me, and there is a fairly wide range of men whose looks I enjoy and appreciate. But yes, I do appreciate a good-looking man, everything else being equal."
Which is not as far as you might think from how most men -- at least above a certain age -- feel about women's appearance.
