Some men are. I had a friend who would constantly lament that women would not give him a chance because of his weight but he did not go after girls who were the female equivalent of him. He figured because he was not going after the super hot he was being realistic but he constantly chased after above average while he was below average. Now he would date pretty much any girl if she went after him and he was not in a relationship but he was always looking to trade up. Now what really gets me is you reading a comic and assuming its meant to portray everyone as a type. If you see a black person in a comic do you think the comic is saying something of all black people? I will say that guy I knew would completely deny the way he was even though it was plain to anyone who knew him for any length of time.
