And I’ve seen some sitcom references that act as if this is common. But that’s just Hollywood writers playing an angle. Do you have any evidence that doesn’t derive from TV fiction?

Your intimation that some women are stuck with male partners because of how they look, while interesting in comparison to the more familiar “women become lesbians because they can’t attract a man,” is not only misinformed, it’s insulting and hurtful. Please don’t spread this crap, rather continue to seek the facts.
