You're not wrong. But I might put that as, "Looks matter to most people, because they haven't yet discovered that looks don't matter, and in fact conventional attractiveness can be a noxious poison.".
I met my current (and last) wife on OKCupid. Only messaged two or three women, she the last. We've been married now for four years and get along like two peas in a pod. Luck, I guess. (I certainly had it coming.)
Then you go on to say, but wait online dating isn't real life? Or is it? An increasing amount of people are meeting through online dating these days. I'd say it very accurately represents real life, granted personalities may not always be attractive and result in a breakup there is a looks threshold that needs to be met before anything meaningful emerges.
