Why do beautiful women date ugly or average-looking guys? (sopuli.xyz)

It's not just average-looking rich guys with beautiful women. There are average-looking guys with 10/10-looking women. I once even saw an average 21-year-old guy with a 28-year-old who looks like a supermodel. How is this possible? Are these women just insecure, and that's why they date men who are below them?

Maybe the guy isn't a chauvinist douchebag? Maybe she isn't vapid? Try joining the real world and maybe it will make more sense.

Most people who aren't sociopaths are capable of imagining falling in love with someone for their personality and fir how they treat you and not solely based on looks

love looks not with the eye but with the mind

...because they go up and try to engage in conversation?

OP has made prior comments that they don't talk to people they're not attracted to

Grimmy, remember when I told you that non-terrible people don't decide whether to talk to someone solely based on attraction? Non-terrible people also aren't attracted solely to looks.
