" While crunching numbers is basically the last thing on our minds now that spring&amp;#039;s started, we&amp;#039;ve been seeing hella dating math lately, for whatever reason. First it was the Hefnerian Corollary, which calculated the net worth of &amp;quot;Sugar Daddy&amp;quot;-esque millionaires as proportional to the age of their young wives.  Now a braniac over at Slate has taken on a pertinent dating question from a reader: Why is it that pretty women often end up with unattractive men? While the question&amp;#039;s debunked with some logic (and a color-coded chart), frankly\u2026 well, from personal experience it does seem very common, particularly in cities where the ratio of men to women&amp;#039;s totally screwed. On the one hand, we all saw Beauty and The Beast when it was on TV the other Friday night, uh, I mean, as kids! And the most important lesson of that movie (other than not to run around screaming &amp;quot;I NEED! SIX EGGS!&amp;quot; and to cover your eyes when talking home accessories begin to dry-hump each other) is that looks aren&amp;#039;t important. What about all the other values? The guy your gorgeous friend is dating might be hilarious or sweet or trustworthy. Or he owns a yacht. Or he has a monster c*ck. Just saying. Furthermore, we&amp;#039;re trained for this very physical dynamic from the hot wife/regular-schmo husband trope you always see on sitcoms like Everybody Loves The King Of Queens and what have you. And yet, when a person in the pop culture eye is perceived of &amp;quot;flipping&amp;quot; the gender trope somehow (see: Lena Dunham and Patrick Wilson on Girls, Season Two; Hugh Jackman and Debora Lee Furness), a shitstorm results because these women are deemed &amp;quot;not attractive enough&amp;quot; for the men they&amp;#039;re with.
