Beautiful women with beautiful bodies who think they're fat because society currently demands women to be as thin as possible, and having real curves isn't, by the standards of popular culture, all that appealing.
I'm told that I'm attractive; I don't believe it. A lot of people don't believe they're as attractive as other people think they are. Besides, at the moment of your wedding, you'd want to be as beautiful as possible, I should think, and you'd probably want confirmation of that.

There was a survey done a few years ago in some magazine that said the number 2 thing a woman wanted to hear to really make a certain activity the best it could be was that he loved her. Number 1 was that she was beautiful.
I also think that the gorgeous-girl-that-can't-get-a-date thing is reasonable. Some of the prettiest girls in my high school never really had dates becasue the guys either think they were so hot they already had boyfriends, or that there was "no way a girl like her would be caught dead with a troll like me". I think that's why so many pretty girls end up with jerks too. The jerks are just about the only ones bold enough to talk to them. My opinions only.
