Cracking up here myself. Jezebel is one of the most anti male, radical feminist sites on the interwebs.
The guy in question does speak the truth and the Harvard survey he sited backs him up. Yes, that liberal Harvard. Beautiful women tend to be high maintenance and from what I have seen higher if not highest rates of divorce as they tend to have more options to leave or upgrade their choice in mates based upon their looks.
The Daily mail comments mostly agreed with him because you get a cross section of people.

@mirraflake Yeah, not a fan of Jezebel myself, but like the conservative said who posted this on his Twitter (Shapiro or Goldberg, can't recall which), this was the only funny thing J ever produced. I enjoyed it.
Rochkind is nothing but a jerk, and, I might add, one of very mediocre appearance, so his standards are kind of ironic, but whatever. I hope his wife made his life hell for disparaging her appearance as less than model material, like his previous women.
The Harvard survey is flawed, as Shapiro pointed out:
"Both of these studies are flawed. Maybe the problem with actresses isn't that they're beautiful, it's that they're actresses. And perhaps the good-looking guys in high school were treated like gods, and just turned into Rochkind.
The answer to shallowness isn’t more shallowness; the reaction to bad dating experiences with beautiful people isn’t dating non-beautiful people. It’s to hold physical beauty as one portion of the dating calculus, but not the whole equation."
I would bet money that this guy will end up divorced at some point. Some chick will catch his eye and that will be that for the "softer" wife.
Options to upgrade, huh? You haven't met enough good-looking women. You should expand your circle.
