Short answer: Yes, we do.

"Buss and Todd Shackelford, psychology professor at Florida Atlantic University, found women ideally want partners who have all the characteristics they desire, but they will calibrate their standards based on their own desirability.

The distorted view of natural attractiveness and differences between men and women in the fold.

"When reviewing the qualities they desire in romantic partners, women gauge what they can get based on what they got," Buss said. "And women who are considered physically attractive maintain high standards for prospective partners across a variety of characteristics."

On a serious note, from my own experience a culture so absorbed in a distorted view of what is attractive (air brushed anorexic models and plastic surgery) to perfect women in media (adult entertainment) that never reject a man's degrading advances, naturally attractive women CAN do better in terms of long term partnerships and can have more say in relationships.

Although women's selectivity across categories reflected how attractive they appeared to other people, the researchers found the characteristics men desired in a partner did not vary based on their own physical attractiveness.

I thought this was interesting, since I seen too many times the most undesirable, unattractive male slobs out there having the nerve to judge women appearances.
