Depends on people like. Plenty of attractive people had dated and married less attractive people. Some people have different likes and dislikes too. Your prince might be someone else's frog.
I also got a couple of people I met and then a couple of email regulars so I lost my will to contact more people.
Defo you should be pro-active, as a man on here it is very easy to start imagining that girls are just not going to reply...happened me more often than not!
Aye I am trying to outdo last years post-thesis bender...I obviously liked it so much I went back to do another just for the binge and minge fest afterwards
Oh yeah the very best looking can be easily picked out but the level below is open to interpretation. Then there is personal preferences. Like I am not in any way attracted to Naomi Campbell or tall girls in general. Same way one girl will go weak at the knees for a rugby player and another will think he is a shaved ape.
I just think we see it from a single person's perspective. We notice the type of person we are attracted to more. Or else we just see people who we build up as competition, instead of seeing them through impartial eyes.So we build them up as being better than they are.
It can happen, often when you see pictures of people after you met them you realise they actually were not as hot or ugly as you thought.
I don't think it is really any different on either side. I've seen great looking girls with less attractive men but I have seen fairly hunky lads with girls who were not exactly stunners.
Men and women are not 2 different species, they are all people. Some like different things to others. And when you are single, I think the mind can play tricks on you. Sometimes you can notice more of a certain kind of person at certain times.

This is from the NY Times on this very subject
