That guys care most about physical beauty is indisputable (consistent with both evolutionary theory and many studies). So, ladies, unless there's $$$$$$$$ in it (in which it'd be business and fair game), why even pursue romantic relationships, in which guys care most about your physical beauty, which would inevitably fade and which would inevitably be beaten by a more beautiful woman (no matter how beautiful you are)? Plus, even if we lived in a Peter Pan world where women stay looking aged 20 forever, it's just so superficial and pointless. Is it not better to stay single forever, where we don't have to worry about the men we are attached to leaving us or fantasizing about leaving us for more beautiful women? This wasn't an option for women just a century ago, but today it is.

Regardless of what they fantasize about, many men do respect the vows they made to their wives and don't run off and leave their families in pursuit of younger, better looking women.

so it's like they're forced to stay instead of doing what they really want, so they're with me while dreaming of all the beautiful women he'd rather be with. Plus, most men who do stay do so for the kids, reputation, religion, and finances.

Is this a serious post? How old are you? How is it you're not aware that most men are more mature than what you outline here, value deeper qualities, and many stay "in love" with their partner even into their 80's, and beyond? How do you explain all the affairs and "dating" that takes place in nursing homes, if supposedly all guys are psychologically driven to trade women in for younger models every 20 years?
And last, but by no means least--what about the women who need to trade their guys in for younger models every 20 years, to maintain *ahem* certain functions?

You don't think women fantasize about other men too?

Yes, some men and women both stay in relationships out of obligation.
They are more visual, but I try to refrain from writing off an entire gender, even if it's often the case. Not everyone is superficial. Despite failing relationships I guess I've been lucky and found people who weren't that way. Most of my relationships began as friendships anyway. So that wasn't an issue.
I do think it's easier for men who are inattentive though than women. They can compensate with charm and humor. Women don't have that luxury.

That's not a very informed, worldly outlook really.
You're assuming that a man wouldn't WANT to stay with you, that he would prefer to be doing something else, which could indicate that you've never really experienced romantic love before.
Besides, men are ATTRACTED most by physical beauty, but that's not really what they "care" about most and certainly not what keeps them around for decades.
its not all about physical beauty...thats just dumb,,,short sighted and calling men one dimensional...
most attractive maine women are quite hearty.... and nothing wrong with some extra cushion,,,,keeps ya warm on a cold night
besides ive yet to see a 110 lb little lady drag a deer out of the woods and heft it on the truck..... or stack a few cords of wood without complaining ..
op,,maybe this says more about you than the rest of the world....
you will learn with maturity...sometimes the prettier the rose the sharper the thorns....
and high maintenance is high stress....which leads to heavy drinking....and that can kill ya
and if you do have a very pretty flower....all the other male bees want to pollinate it

Just because a man or woman wants someone or something doesn't mean they can have it. Say George wants Sarah. Just because he wants her does not mean she wants him. She may think he's a pig because he's married with 2 kids. Steve may be married to Bob. Bob may have a wandering eye. Bob might have the hots for Phil, but that doesn't mean that Phil has the hots for Bob.....also doesn't mean that Phil is gay or bisexual. Phil may be married to a woman and have 8 children or he may be married to his job.
