Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
the theory WOULD explain ugly wives, but not ugly mistresses. hell, i probably wouldn't even do elliot spitzers HOOKER unless i was smashed and bored...
i think the universal consensus is that politicians overwhelmingly do NOT pull good looking women, even politicians with lots of money.
besides looks and money, women are attracted to sex appeal, which isn't always associated with good lucks, but often is. (skinny musician pothead type, ugly but beefy athlete etc) they are "cool guys"
also "group leaders". in restraunts, the ugly dork of a manager is often banging or seeing a hot hostess. he's the group leader, women are programmed to be attracted to that. politicians are often powerful, but they tend to be boring losers. they are technically "leaders" but are rarely well liked. there are a few exceptions of course(sarkozy, prince ranier), but on average politicians will not be a top choice amongst attractive women. managers, performers, athletes, professors, deejays etc will continue to have a social edge in mate selection.
there is zero "sex appeal" with politicals, women usually find nothing exciting or sexy about politics...
