*self rated attractiveness: "men and women who rated themselves as more physically attractive reported stronger preferences for exaggerated sex-typical characteristics in other-sex faces."

* Health: "country health/development moderated the effect of men’s self-rated attractiveness on femininity preferences, such that men from countries with high health/development showed a positive association between self-rated attractiveness and femininity preference, while men from countries with low health/development showed the opposite trend."

Uggos get with uggos because that's all they can get while hawties can demand something of equal hawt value. Don't you love science just reexplaining things you already knew?

Are women that perceive themselves to be less attractive (let's say low self-esteem) more likely to romantically engage with less attractive people (or value looks less in general)?

Basically the hotter you think you are, the hotter you want your partner to be.

I wonder if some rate thier attractivenes by the amount of interest they generate on dating apps, the value of water in a desert?

"Evidence for this link is mixed, however, and recent research suggests the association between self-rated attractiveness and preferences for facial sexual dimorphism may not generalise to non-Western cultures."

In other words, what counts as physically attractive may be in large part culturally relative.
