What do you think about people who ONLY want to date people much more attractive than they are?

I know we say looks shouldn’t matter, and everyone should be able to get who they want and there are no leagues. But some people will only want to date people much better looking than themselves.

I have known men who don’t take care of themselves physically and neglect their appearance, who think they should only date models, while women who are cute but more normal looking are “ugly” to them. Then, when these models sometimes reject them, they tell them not to be so shallow. But they’re being shallow themselves? I overheard one man making fun of his girlfriend for “not being pretty enough for him” and saying he deserves better looking when he’s not even as attractive as her.

Similarly, I know this girl who’s cute but not a model at all, who only wants to date model-looking men and she gets the same thing. These men sleep with her but don’t want to date her because they usually like women who are on their level of attractiveness. This girl throws herself at these men, but harshly rejects normal looking men even if they are good people, funny etc.

why are these types so adamant about dating up and only in looks? Why are they hypocritical? Why do they think they’re ok to be shallow in their dating options, but others can’t be shallow towards them in return? Why don’t they like people who are “more attainable” but still cute and attractive, so to speak if they themselves are on that same level?
