This article talks a bit about the relationship of perceived income to a desire for a more attractive partner.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4801008/
their summary :
This finding suggests that people who feel they have relatively more money may have more interest in an attractive alternative than those who feel they have relatively less money. The differences in mating strategies between and within the genders brought about by money support the evolutionary hypothesis that individuals adopt conditional mating strategies in response to environmental conditions. Additionally, the results of experimental studies provide evidence for the causal effects of money on mating strategies.
Curious about people's thoughts on this. State pill and gender if you feel like it.
A nice break from rape and consent.

I personally see the SES and family background as a major contributor to someone's character.. agreed on that last part being fucked up though.

Yeah exactly. If he has other options but chooses to be monogamous, it means I'm adding enough value to his life to be worth committing to. Same thing goes for him- he knows I have options, he makes sure he's worth committing to.
The prerequisite here is self-respect and respect for one another- I know perfectly well that if I acted in a way that made him lose respect for me he'd walk.

I'll take your word for it! It is hard to be physically fit and much below average in most of the US; I'd put you at 1.5 SD above average attractiveness, by your description. 2 SD if your personality is also attractive.

It is polarizing, which is good for your chances: a few think your personality is damned hot, others think it's unattractive AF. Much better than lots of "meh" votes. Which would you rather have: some people think you're an 8, others think you're a 2 - or everyone seeing you as a 5?
