It seems strange that this article doesn't address in any way the question of whether women married to physically unattractive men are more or less happy than women who are married to handsome men. Sure, plain men may be delighted to have beautiful wives, but how do the women feel about the situation? After all, one might well expect beautiful women who are married to unattractive men to "demonstrate a tendency to be less likely to offer emotional and practical support" to their husbands, effecting the the marriage just as negatively as a handsome husband who takes his plain wife for granted.
