   @ChristiJunior @berkberkman @RealRaul @Type_Other @WashedOutGundamPilot Women fundamentally rely on their looks for self-worth, yes. Men on the other hand value themselves by their achievements.

     @suquili @ChristiJunior @berkberkman @RealRaul @WashedOutGundamPilot A good explanation I've read for this is men trade competencies with age. They go from being physically to financially capable over time--trading energy and strength for intelligence and income.
     
     Women kind of just have one thing called youth/looks/fertility (which all move together so closely they're basically proxy variables for one another). After age takes it, there's nothing to really replace it with.
     
     We know this is true because women on dating sites show trade-offs of income with appearance, e.g. they'll take a guy who's 3 inches shorter if he makes $40k more.
     
     Men on the other hand display no such preference tradeoff. If her youth/looks/fertility is bad, it doesn't matter at all how smart she is or how much money she makes. Men literally do not care.
