I was watching a 2004 (re-run) episode of Average Joe Hawaii and Larissa picked the handsome, muscular man over the loving, patient, understanding not so cute man. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the show but in it this beautiful model/actress has to choose between an average joe and a good looking guy. They started her off with 16 average looking men and eventually threw in 8 good looking ones to heat things up a bit. In the end she had to choose one of them to continue a relationship with.
The guy from Boston (Brian I believe his name was) to me was an extremely good man. He seemed witty, smart, he cared tremendously for her and she knew it, he was loving, affection, to me he had everything a girl could of wanted (even a good job), yet Larissa chose the "handsome" muscular guy who she said wasn't showing much interest in her, was very guarded regarding his feelings, seemed to lack interest in anything she had to say and couldn't even vocalize his thoughts or feelings on many issues.
Is physical attraction really that important that a woman would dismiss all those good qualities in a man for someone she is attracted to?
