Finding a Life Manual

If you are a man, what are the pros and cons of dating models? - Quora

Pros:

Models are almost always mellow in daily life. They’re used to gliding through life without a ton of responsibility, and so they don’t tend to be as high-strung as the average woman (or man, for that matter). 

They tend to value you, as a guy, on something other than your looks, because they’ve spent time with male models and have fished those waters.

If you’re susceptible to the siren call of external validation, you will be serenaded every moment of your public life. Guys will stare; their girlfriends will stare and then quickly glare at their mates; and random people will ask you what your secret is, if they don’t just give you the smile and nod.

Cons:

Models are used to being objectified by men, and tend to be a little suspicious at first of your motives. It takes a little more effort to get through to them than to the average woman, in my experience. They ‘test’ you more at first, check to see if you’re just a guy hunting for a trophy.

Models are, on average, average in everything else besides looks. They’re not stupid or brilliant, not sweet or cruel, not cultured or boorish. Their looks set high expectations and their personalities usually fail to deliver. Imagine having a lunch with a billionaire….who turns out to be as boring as an accountant and leaves you peeking at your watch. It’s a downer.

Back to the external validation from above; people will assume that you’re just dating her for her looks, and no one will take her or the relationship seriously. Ever. It doesn’t matter how much time they spend with her, or what you do together, etc. The attention from strangers gets incredibly tiresome after a while, and you start to understand why some women put off such an ice shield when in public. I was doing it myself after a while.

There are really just two archetypes in the mainstream modeling world for women: fashion model and swimsuit model. Fashion models usually are very tall, very skinny, usually flat-chested; swimsuit/lingerie models can be average-height and tend to have more of a classic hourglass shape. These are two tiny, limited corners of the wide landscape of actual feminine figures. This will sound downright bizarre, but after a while, those two body shapes start to seem ordinary, even boring. It’s hard to explain. You don’t start to see other body shapes as more attractive, but the aesthetic shock of ‘perfection’ wears off.

So I really liked this answer on Quora. This type of thinking really applies whenever you meet a beautiful girl or a good looking. Your impulse should be… ok they’re probably average in every respect except their looks so be prepared for that.

I also agree with the comment that good looking people care less about looks, because they’ve sort of been there and done that, and they attract good looking people of the opposite sex, so the appeal of good-looking-ness wears off. 

Yeah, but that averageness comment - it so resonates and it’s something to remember wherever beauty/good looks appear.
