--------What's unfortunate is that people in such situations are genuinely unaware of what their motivations are. While acknowledging that the guy was "man pretty," she held that this fact was entirely disparate from the other qualities he had, supposedly unrelated to his appearance. The unconscious directs the desires, and the conscious claims ownership and explaination for them. This happens in everything we do.
It would stand to reason that a beauty queen would seek out the most beautiful mate. It's her overriding concern, and mates are often mirrors of our own self image.
For that matter, all of the average Joes were victims of the same halo effect. I found it amazing that not one guy was unimpressed with her. Quite the contrary, most of them professed genuine love for her. She didn't really strike me as being all that interesting. You'd have to get 50 women together before I'd likely find one I was interested in.
At least she can claim that she didn't go for the rich guy.
