One thing I've come to conclude is that good looks actually matter very little to men. WAIT! Hear me out. Usually when I'm with my buddies we like to check out the ladies. If she isn't extremely overweight, doesn't seem to be ridden with disease (like snooky), doesn't have a manly face, and doesn't dress like a mason, she's "hot".
Over 90% of the young women that pass fit the "she's hot" bill. If she's wearing a skirt it's 99%.
And it's not just because we're engineers with a lack of women in our lives, I have friends that hang around lots of women and it's always the same. The standard for "she's hot" is much lower than women probably think.
Not to mention most men have a "neighbor girl" fantasy. They'd rather be with a girl they're close friends with for a long time than some super hot babe.
EDIT: My cousin's last girlfriend was manlier than me and had a super small neck, and we're talking of a guy that once got an offer for a modelling contract. He doesn't have a lack of choice, he just doesn't care that much about looks (like most other men I know).
