It's ok to date people for their looks but not for their money?

I am sure we have all seen it. A shall we say... less than good looking, or an older but "rich" person going out with a really good looking person. People will often express a kind of bitter prejudice against the relationship, "they are only going out with them for their money" is often the agreed sentiment. While in a lot of cases this is true, certainly their money or power being partly or mainly their appeal, is it really worst than a lot of other relationships based on other factor?
"You should go out with someome because you like them?, is what I will often hear.


But for some reason people don't have a problem when people go out with each other just because of looks. When two good looking person go out together, for some reason it's all


"Oh they are perfect together"


"What a lovely couple"


"Now they really like each other" is what they will say. If you think about it  though there is not really a difference between this and the first case. Instead of going out with someone for their money, they are just going out with someone for their looks. I mean in a lot of cases if the other person weren't so good looking they wouldn't even consider speaking to each other in the first place, but for some reason it is so much more accepted.


ps. I have neither power nor money, just personally felt that some couples are too harshly judged.
