Quote: --------------------------------- If these people are so image conscious, why do they have an affair with someone who is, let's shall we say, image-challenged? ---------------------------------
That is often true, and the answer is simple, it makes the image conscious person feel better about themselves at the expense of the paramour. Affairs are all about the individuals having them, not about the newly formed pair. That also speaks volumes about the maturity level of most newly started affairs. It is fairly rare to see an equally matched pair of infidels.
For a woman with an ugly guy, the woman feels superior, and the guy gets bragging rights, having landed "a babe". For the reverse, the guy gets an emotional need met that was missing at home, and the woman gets a hunk. That is overly simplistic, but you get the general idea.
Also, infidels often choose partners that are the polar opposite of the spouse or long term partner.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
