but these men will expect these women to spend an inordinate amount of time, money, and energy on their looks.

Like I said, idiots. If physical beauty is your priority such that you’re willing to pursue a beautiful woman whose priority is money (instead of a woman whom you love, whose priorities are similar to yours, whom you have fun with etc.), then you’re an idiot in my book. No matter how rich you are.
Rich shallow guy and beautiful shallow woman might deserve each other (they’re both 2s, if you ask me), but I highly doubt they’ll be happy for longer than it takes for her to own half his stuff. Which he’ll deserve at that point.

I think most people aren’t willing to pull hard at all, And I think lack of oar pullage explains the high divorce rate.
