I now know that the countless men who tell me how desperate they are to find a really nice girl are lying through their teeth because what they really mean is a woman who looks like a model.

I like Rabbi Schmuley a lot, and he is discussing a very real phenomenon and problem. That being said, he makes the same mistake a lot of people do when discussing this issue - he sets up a paradigm where there are 'really nice' women and women who look like models, and that they are mutually exclusive.

They clearly are not - men want an attractive woman, but one of substance. Many, many women are both. It is not an 'either-or' proposition. Schmuley feeds a common, unfair bias with that point of view.

Disagree. Schmuley properly realizes that set while set "really nice" and set "good looking" overlap, that the subset "really nice and good looking" is in all liklihood numerically insufficient for every man, or even most men to find one.

But what do I know? I'm as ugly as homemade sin, and I married a truly gorgeous 6' blonde.
