Re: Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men?
yup, i actually no someone like that, her saying is that it gives her the “upper hand” by being more physically attractive then her hubby… shallow thinking if u ask me.
Re: Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men?
just read the article. It doesn’t make sense to me. Its almost like they are saying that in such couples the attractive women deliberately go out to look for less attractive men so they can have the upper hand Actually I do know of a girl who was actively seeking a below average looking guy but the other requirement was that he should be well above par financially the study may apply to a select few but for the masses I don’t think it holds.
Miicha me thinks ur sis is a shallow gal. Why i say that is because I, several times, have found people attractive based on their personalities alone. This once us girls happened to meet one of our teacher’s husband, he was no glamourous model look-alike, but there wasn’t a single girl amongst us who wasn’t in awe of him just because of the way he carried himself and spoke etc. its not always about having the perfect face.
Plus in ur sisters case it could also be argued that anyone who needs to go on and on about how good they look actually have a low self-esteem and are just trying to convince themselves that they aren’t all that bad. When you say something enough number of times you and every one around you eventually starts believing it, hehe. If you really do look good you don;t need to say it yourself, there are plenty others who will do it for you
Re: Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men?
i beg to differ, as in most of the desi cases it is the parents that decide who to be paired with their son or daughter, as far as the love marriage cases u cant base a relationship solely on looks a successful relationship cannot be based on a superficial pillar as LOOKS,
p.s as FF said beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder maybe somin that is not beautiful to u mite be a turnon for someone else :D so thus there is not set answer to ur question.
Re: Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men?
reminds me of this joke from this sytand up comedian.
H was saying that this girl with an ugly guy was showing him off at a party, and she says I dont care if he is good-looking…as long as he is Good to ME! ..
Re: Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men?
Femme, I agree!
Glad to see some really sensible replies here. Though the importance of physical attraction can not be completely refuted. I believe, beauty is only skin deep. We must reaize that the physical persona is just the shell of the reality confined within. Often a choice has to be made with practicality and appearance, and though the combination of both is desirable, the former shall not be considered tradeable with the latter. In any case, most of us would start hating the beautiful man/woman who completely lacks character, and start loving the ugly one with a lot of character.
Re: Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men?
i think that women are slightly less focused on looks than men. men can be valued for their sense of humour, intelligence etc whereas women's value is much more based on their physical beauty. Women can be attracted to men based on their social power, success in their profession etc women have a desire to respect the man they are with. men don't necessarily have the same need.
Re: Why Beautiful Women Marry Less Attractive Men?
To be honest i don't think there are any unattractive ppl. around. Someone who you like might not seem attractive to another but that doesn't make them ugly or less attractive
