Women are only "less visual" in a very misleading and pragmatic way. She might "give him a chance" when she wants something long-term, but her "interest" is of the settling kind.

Female settling is the dirty little secret behind high divorce rates, sexless marriages, neurotic/demanding female behavior, unstable relationships, etc. If you're not "good enough" for just sex, then SHE cannot be trusted for a relationship or marriage!
