The majority of men and women I see are obese, and/or diabetic, and/or losing hair (me!), and/or have certain unattractive features (unshapely nose/ear) etc...
Yet why do so many people here (men and women) keep talking about looks? Why do we as humans focus on looks when we know that at best only 5 percent of humans are decent looking? More importantly, why do all the women on tv shows always talk about good looking guys?
Do we all think we will find a partner among that five percent?

I don't know if we'll all find a partner in that five percent, but that doesn't seem to stop the majority of people from looking there. I am obese, and I couldn't get a date where I live to save my life. Every single male, even the "ugly" ones, goes for the skinny girl with flawless skin and big boobs.
I think that, on the whole, men are much shallower than women. OF COURSE THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THAT RULE (a disclaimer for the "you are generalizing, not everyone is that way, yada yada yada" tribe). A woman is much more likely to date a less handsome man than a man is to date a plain, fat woman. For example, Christie Brinkley married Billie Joel. Do you think that George Clooney would date Kathy Bates or Cameron Mannheim? Of course not. Women seem to be able to look INSIDE a person while men seem to only look AT a person.

Not all people are shallow. I never wanted one of the buffed beautiful people. I think you are wrong when you say only 5% of humans are decent looking. I have met thousands of people in my lifetime due to my career and I have seen less than 1% were not decent looking. The people I have met may not have been beautiful or even attractive but they were decent looking

I did, I don't know about being shallow, but I am still hot for him, why in the world would I marry a guy I am not attracted to, just because I thought I wouldn't find anyone because a majority of the population is ugly??????????????????????????????????
