A lady can at least potentially work on her weight. A guy can never work on his height.

But once again as people gets older, all these superficial things gets less and less valuable.

I would love to believe your story where the "secure and hard working" guy gets the beautiful lady at the end too. Nice fairy tale. But truth is beautiful people makes more money than less-beautiful people.

The following are on average. So these aren't always the case.

Beautiful people gets more opportunities. They often gets first try for no reason except they look prettier. Humans are conditioned to believe that beautiful people are more capable.

And when beautiful people fail they tend to get 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances. Less-beautiful people are like walking on grass and one mistake might do them in.

Beautiful people tend to have a history of success since elementary and high school. Now this might not mean that they are always great at school. But they often have zero problem attracting friends. They have zero problem getting help from others. And so on average beautiful people have very high confidence. And they have great social skills because everyone wants to talk with them.

So on average for a less-beautiful person to succeed, they must:

1) Seize every opportunity. Or success on their first.
2) Build high confidence some how.
3) Build great social skills some how.

And this is where Jesus can help. =)

Actually, weight can be a difficult thing to control. Especially as one gets older.

Youthful looks get more important for men as they get older. I read men are actually at an advantage regarding the dating world past the age of 27. The only thing about high school college, most of the women are too young to look old.

Impossible to answer. I'm 5'3". What's ideal for me would probably not be ideal for a woman six inches taller than me. I prefer a guy to be at least 5'7, but if I met the right guy and he was below that, I wouldn't care. I don't have to have my physical preferences to be happy, but I've found my heart preferences are required for happiness. So I need a guy whose heart is "right," and that's something he can do something about. His height he can't.
