@WalknOnEggShells I agree with you about short term, But OP was talking about finding a long-term mate. Otherwise , I agree that they might be some lying involved in such surveys. However, the underlying evolutionary principle is sound, so I think that while the survey might have magnified the divide, the difference does exist.
I never said that looks are not valued. What I and GMTplus7 say is that a surgery - one that is not understood even by people who know him - won’t make a significant enhancement.
I also see the truth in your statement about college bars, but one might point out that those who are hanging out in a bar are also a self-selected group, whose sentiments may or may not differ from the rest of the student body.
On the other hand, I can not speak about the particular situation in different colleges.
Just to clarify, I think I said before that all I say is theoretical, since I am an international that will start college in the US next fall. That is why I used surveys, since what is true in my culture may not be true in yours. I am sorry if I gave the impression that I am speaking out of experience, or if I should have not commented without the said experience of living in the US. Since I am not a “dumb jock”, I think I should praise my lucky stars that there won’t be any in my school
