I believe it's necessary to look at them like that.
Matter a fact, when you " serverly date down" ,the woman might resent you because women look at other women and constantly compare themselves to other women . So lets say the dreadful conversation comes up where she asks you: what do you like about me? And you say yeah, your character, kindness blahblah, she'll resent you. She won't be like" yeah I'm a tad overweight so I understand my looks/ sexual power isn't where it supposed to be". She WANTS to hear you think she is sexy and irresistible, and there will be NO space to mention seemingly logical improvement such as dressing better, losing weight ,changing her hair ect
I've learned after all the women I've slept with that the "fact" you can't keep your hands off her will be the most important aspect. When you say " it's okay you got plenty of other qualities " she'll (again) resent you and monkeybrance to a man who does look at her like a object of lust.
It's nature, female nature and male nature .
