DEBATE

Lifestyle Relationships
1

Me and my hubby are having a debate on Skype, he’s about to visit this forum just to see the general consensus…

Being reductive:

Should the husband be less attractive than the wife
or the wife less attractive than the husband?

Please give reasons.

Re: DEBATE

studies have proven most people marry their attractive "equal".

Re: DEBATE

They're both allowed to be less attractive than their partners.....if and only if ....they're filthy rich.

Re: DEBATE

But which is the ideal? The guy or the girl?

Re: DEBATE

The problem, Halima, is with the word "ideal." Ideal, by defintion, refers to a perfect situation......and that would entail a couple that is both equally attractive, where both partners are attracted to each other.

Re: DEBATE

Okay badly worded, rather than if it was an either/or situation, you dont have the choice of an equal.

Re: DEBATE

Halima and Halimas' husband, this is a pointless debate.

Nither of you can be right or wrong.

Re: DEBATE

Where’s that Uzair guy when ya need him? :hehe:

I wonder how long it will be before he posts in this thread that women need not be great looking to attract a man.

Re: DEBATE

I was going to say the woman would have to be more attractive. However, I don’t think I can because what may be classed as ‘attractive’ by one person may not be attractive to another. So who measures attractiveness? :konfused:

Re: DEBATE

please make the guy more attractive. Im tired of seeing girls married to guys who are not attractive at all

Re: DEBATE

realistically though, ive heard of guys who are more attractive going for affairs and such later on cos of all the attention. Then again, that can work both ways. It's weird to see if either is more attractive than the other. There should be some sorta similarity in looks I feel. Not too much of a disparity.

Re: DEBATE

I do not know what to say.
Which kind of attractiveness ? Physical or personality traits.
Everybody knows beauty/attractiveness lies in the eyes of beholder.
Someone might be very attractive for masses but might be a horse face for lot of others , Julia Roberts is an example of that.
Some people do not have physical attractiveness but they do have a charm in their conversation. They win your heart by their mannerism .

Re: DEBATE

She could be a supermodel and he could be a beast......religion still allows a guy to marry up to four times. Of course that can be rather expensive.....so if he feels he can only afford one wife...it would be best if she's good to look at. It'll tether him down better. AND...if she plans to live off his money....then she better be good to look at. Or wait a minute...if she's more independent...then she has the right to be more picky. Seriously....the point to this question is?

Re: DEBATE

From whose perspective?

Re: DEBATE

whatever floats your boat

Re: DEBATE

My husband was saying that a female is more likely to cheat if she's attractive, thereby, you ought marry a less attractive counterpart.

Whereas a male is less likely to cheat even if he is attractive cos females are "stupid" (stupid in the sense of, gullible for "love")

And I think most men have a difficult time keeping it in their pants regardless of being "attractive" Plus I think men are more easily lured.

He's gone to bed now :(

Thanks for contributing to our (as correctly aforementioned by other posters) futile debate.

Re: DEBATE

I think each person should consider their spouse to be the most attractive one -- regardless of others' opinions. Outsiders' opinions should be secondary. No -- tertiary. Or "fourthary"...like, not even count at all would be best!

Re: DEBATE

There is no "should" for marriages to work.
