    I agree with Lonewolfy

    I'm attracted to people more by the personality and intelligence, but I know that makes me kind of abnormal. For most people aren't attracted to people who they don't consider good-looking for some reason, and it makes it hard for both men and women who aren't conventionally good-looking to get as much play.

    I would probably caution a friend who might want to move to a town with those demographics for those reasons. You know, the whole "the odds are good, but the goods are odd" kind of thing.

    P. S. I felt the need to weigh in although I consider myself attractive because I'm vain.
