After paying closer attention, I almost agree. I noticed this when I was in grade school, and again in the work force. The only explanation I can think of is that more women are willing to work at being good looking than men are.
Men are basically visual and women are basically relational.
Tell her to get real and realize that men and women check out the opposite sex to compare or to just look. I think women are socialized from a very young age to see their looks as the measure of their worth. Men, on the other hand, are socialized to get their self-esteem through other ways, such as the ability to earn a lot of money. This is not to say men don't care about their looks or women don't want anything but to be beautiful. I think it's the way they present themselves.
