Exactly. I've seen plenty of attractive women with guys who are not so attractive. Look at Hollywood. Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson, Heidi Klum and Ugly Guy, Kim Cattrel and Ex-Husband Ugly Guy.
Very rarely do I see an attractive man with a woman is fugly. They've done tons of studies on it and it's just the way our brains work....men are more turned on by physical attributes while women need an emotional connection to be turned on. I've dated many guys who would not be considered conventionally attractive but their personality, sense of humor, and intelligence make up for it. I've met many guys who I was not physically attracted to at first but I felt a strong connection with them after getting to know them and really liking their personality.
At the same time, many women won't be attracted to a guy who is physically appealing but has a lot lacking in the personality department. I've found that many, not all, guys will keep on dating a woman who he doesn't "click" with just because she's attractive or has a good body. I dated a very good looking guy once who modeled but he had the personality of a door stop. I brought him to a sorority date function and I wanted to gauge my eyeballs out with a dull knife everytime he opened his mouth to talk. After the date function ended, I dropped him off at his apartment and sped away...fast. How many guys would drop a very attractive woman just because he didn't like her personality? Not many...well, at least not until they've slept with her first.
My friend put on some weight during her junior year in college. She still had a beautiful face and the same great personality but my guy friends were like, "Ewww...she's fat!" (She was only 15 pounds overweight....I really don't think that's fat!) When she lost the weight last summer, my boyfriend's roommate was like, "Ya know, I think I'm going to ask her out. She looks good now!" She's the same girl as before but just 15 pounds lighter.
