This is the last time I'm posting to this thread because every time I read it I get highly irritated.

From my Human Sexuality textbook, in the chapter about Attraction and Love:
What do you look for in a long-term, meaningful relationship?
Your second author conducted a survey of college men and women in the early 1980s and found that psychological characteristics such as warmth, fidelity, honesty, and sensitivity were rated higher in importance than physical attractiveness as desireable qualities in a prospective partner for a meaningful, long-term relationship (Nevid, 1984). Physical attractiveness won out when students were asked to consider what qualities are most important in a partner for a sexual relationship. Overall, however, men placed greater emphasis on the physical characteristics of their partners for both types of relationships than did women. Women placed more value on qualities such as warmth, assertiveness, wit, and ambition. The single most highly desire quality that students wanted in long-term partners were honesty. Honestly.

And people think women are shallow?
