    Which makes you wonder why people even pick partners based on beauty. It would make more sense to pick them based on personality.

    That being said, I value very much that my girlfriend takes care of herself even with many years in a relationship. She could easily become fat but she exercises and stays fit, and I do the same. For us its important, but its not the main reason we are together.

      I suspect that humans evolved to pick partners based on beauty because beauty is an indicator of health.

        Yeah on the surface level, it says genetics that will give a good looking body, and humans are attracted to beauty.

      Demisexual. Yes, we do exist. From anecdotal experience it’s mostly women who are demisexuals.

        Guys face social pressure to avoid certain partners based on looks that they’d otherwise be fine with.
