CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR CORPSE BRIDE!!
Obviously, we’ve all heard the “do looks matter?” Question, and when applied to girls, I think people automatically believe that looks do matter to girls.
As a girl, it is my duty to say that is completely wrong.
First, in the corpse bride, there is a girl Emma who (SPOILER ALERT) fell in love with this guy, and everyone disapproved so those two little lovers decided to run away and elope. HOWEVER, the little terd nugget of a man, decided to kill her instead.
How is this relevant?
Well.
Look at her. She's gorgeous. But then there's her freaking love interest (pre-Victor)
Need I say more? He’s ugly as crap, no clue what made Emma go all lovey-dovey on him but like, whatever, I guess. She got heartbroken over a little pathetic worm like this.
Second, we’ve got Brooke (from ice age) who is elegant, majestic, charming, and drop dead gorgeous, falling in love with SID. The movie even makes jokes about this too, like comments about “him? Seriously?”
Not only does she look stunning while young, she also ages gracefully.
Still, Sid is a waaaaaayyyyy better choice than Emma’s weird lover (not talking about the guy Johnny Depp played, cause that guy was cute ngl)
There is this saying going around, that in relationships there is a reacher and there is a settler. A reacher reaches for someone out of their league, and the settler settles for someone below theirs.
Contrary to what I actually thought before researching, men are actually the ones more prone to settling than reaching. And I don’t mean in relationships, though that may definitely be the case, I’m talking about life in general. Especially if they are in a society that outnumbers women.
“Men are more likely to settle down, marry and have children in a society where they outnumber women,” Alice Fuller states in her article Men are more likely to settle down - but only because of their greatest fear.
It’s all about competition. In Fuller’s article, she quotes Dr. Maner, and his words are, “Another way men compete with one another is by being quicker to settle down with one woman, and really devote himself more fully to having kids and being a good parent.” Basically, the competition when men outnumber women becomes who can win the Dating Game. Since there would be less women, there would more competition to find a mate/partner. This isn’t some patriarchy thing either, it’s an instinct, it’s nature, it’s how we survive.
So neither gender is picky about who looks best and the terms “settler” and “reacher” are probably only applied in situations like goals and careers. Or they might be made up. Who knows?
