Do you actually have data to back up this assertion? Because I suspect it's less true than is commonly imagined. – TRiG is Timothy Richard Green May 27 '13 at 21:27
Good catch. I'm quite sure they are positively correlated, and I do have some supporting evidence, but I didn't carry out a scientific-grade experiment and of course the assertion itself is highly subjective. I always wanted to do some proper research on that, but I was afraid that inquiring about others' relationship status en masse would lead to some serious and awkward misunderstandings. By the way, it would also qualify as a nice example question for the new site. – thagomizer May 27 '13 at 23:56
Thanks for the feedback, I've edited the question. For the record, the orginal one was: "Attractive people seem to be more often in a relationship than others. Are they chosen because they are attractive or is it the other way round?" – thagomizer May 28 '13 at 20:45

As worded, this is a list question. Can you narrow the focus some how? – Flimzy May 28 '13 at 20:21
