Well I wonder if there's a chicken-or-egg thing at play there. Women who don't spend a lot of time and money on their looks, and I mean a LOT, don't ordinarily get asked out much.
Or, to put it differently: women don't spend a lot of time on looks because they're so shallow, it's because a lot of men have a very shallow taste in women, where only looks matter...
I guess that's true. And that can also be explained. For men it's more important to have a young (=good-looking) partner in order to be 'successful' from an evolutionary viewpoint...
