Overview
Why I Don't Date Hot Women Anymore is an article published by the New York Post that discusses the dating habits of several New Yorkers who have found that when they date very attractive people, they find them shallow and vapid, so have decided to start dating less attractive people to find deeper connections. The article grew into a target of mockery on social media.
Background
On April 12th, 2017, the New York Post[1] published an article called "Why I won’t date hot women anymore" by Christian Gollayan. The article begins by talking about private equity executive Dan Rochkind who dated many attractive when he moved to New York but was disappointed by the fact he thought them shallow. He decided to date someone less-attractive, Carly Spindel, and he is now engaged to that person.
The article goes on to interview men and women who have made similar decisions, citing a study[2] by Harvard University, University of La Verne and Santa Clara University researchers that found that beautiful people are more likely to be involved in unstable relationships.
Developments
The article was instantly mocked on Twitter for its portrayal of the struggles of beautiful people, the language used to describe attractive and so-called unattractive people, and the methodology of its study.
The mockery of the article was compiled in a Twitter Moment,[3] Huffington Post,[4] and NYMag.[5] Carly Spindel took to Instagram[6] to chastise the article for allegedly twisting the words of her fiancee to make him look bad.
