:''The SMP can be used to illustrate certain social phenomena, such as the effect of [[beauty]] on partner choice. When the preferences of the men and women are purely random, everyone is quite likely to get a partner that is high on their preference list. However, if the preferences tend to aim at certain beautiful individuals, a person's chances of getting a partner they really want is drastically reduced, as their top choices are massively in demand. Hence, it has been said that the SMP proves that beauty just makes everyone unhappy.''
I removed this section. I doubt that it is even true that it is quite likely you will get someone high on your preference list (what are the chances that you were high on their preference list?), let alone the stuff about beauty and happiness.
