Why Pretty Girls Date Average Looking Guys or Ugly Guys

[Sanman]

The problem here, in either direction, is that you are viewing end result of a relationship. Who shops at the grocery store together? People who are married or in ltrs, not people merely dating. Thus, a lot has happened in the mean time. I have friend that gained 30lbs from the time he started dating his gf 3 yrs ago. He used to run 25-30 miles a week when he was single. I have gained a few lbs too. Lie gets busy, relationships can cause weight gain, running around after kids can cause weight gain, etc. you have no idea how either of these people looked when they started dating each other.

Because they can't get the more attractive guys to commit to them, only casual sex

 

 

To put it bluntly, the guy you can get to commit to you probably won't be as attractive to you as the guy you can convince to follow you home from the bar for the night or maybe have a short term fling with. That's simply the dating and sexual marketplace exerting it's power.

I think a lot of girls like "broken" men. They don't have children of their own so they want to be a "motherly" figure for these broken men and attempt to "fix" them. Sounds like a disaster to me but seriously...

 

Alternatively, people will tell you confidence, etc which you need to have confidence to even begin a relationship but it's not ALL you need.

So wait a minute here, because I'm short I'm not allowed to date an attractive female? Hate it all you want dude, every female I've dated or talked to has been pretty attractive lmao. This thread is such a fail.

 

I can't get a girl so I'm going to whine about guys who can

-get a life bro

depends. im a really really good looking guy. when i was a young boy i was really handsome but during puberty i was scrawny and ugly then after 18 i started changing a lot back into a handsome guy. and i could compete with some of the most handsome guys you've ever seen like that guy from the Superman TV show Smallville. I suffered a lot being made fun of when i was ugly, even my parents told me i was ugly...

 

 

so i really thought a lot about it.... these are some of my conclusions of facial symetry...

 

-the rarest (numbers of men) beautiful gorgeous men in terms of symmetry are the rarest, next are beautiful gorgeous females who less rare next come beautiful women on average because they are the fairer sex. next comes average men and women ,last come the not so endowed. the rarest are the top of this paragrph going down to the most abundant which are the least fairest.

 

-females wear makeup which fools your eyes.

 

-females are on average more attractive

 

females are on average better looking and comparatively, less handsome men are their equals.

this is a trend of mating when you look at the numbers.

I can appreciate a guy that's easy on the eyes, but physical attraction doesn't make me interested in someone. Rather, once I become interested in someone, I begin to find them more and more physically attractive. I have many female friends that have told me they feel the same way.

 

Many men, on the other hand, seem to decide who they want to get to know romantically based on appearances from my experience. I've been asked out by complete strangers when I'm just walking around the mall or down the street. A lot of the time, the first thing they'll start the conversation with is: "do you have a boyfriend?" Not even a "hi, how are you?" That kind of approach has never gotten a yes from me. I would rather start getting to know someone I already have something in common with, as opposed to someone who knows nothing about me other than what I look like.

I dont see it much at all most couple are pretty evenly matched in looks

 

Agree with this.

 

Though there are exceptions, and it is usually a girl with a less attractive guy - though I have seen the reverse as well (this is quite rare).

Oooops, double post. Shouldn't have.

I don't see it either.

 

If I see attractive woman, it's mostly with a guy who knows how to dress, takes care of himself and doesn't look half bad in general.

I notice this just about every day. Every time I go to a grocery store, a cafe, anywhere really, anytime I see a pretty girl, 9 times out of 10, the guy she is with is either average looking, or below average looking. He may be noticeably short, or noticeably fat, or both short and fat. Greasy hair, poor or nonexistent fashion sense, or just flat out looks like a bum.

 

Anyway, while it is frustrating to see beautiful girls choosing ugly guys, broke guys and abusive guys as boyfriends, at least I have a better sense of why.

 

 

 

There's not one reason why. Generalizations don't hold much water.

 

 

Some girls have low self esteem, make bad choices, some like money, some girls like men who are well built, some like guys who are hung, some girls like men who can make them laugh, some girls like fat men, and so on and so forth.

Men are obsessed with beauty. It is by far the most important thing to them. Thats why you dont see ugly women with pretty men. A man usually tries to get a girl prettier than him, few men nowadays are willing to settle with a girl who is even in his league anymore...they always feel like they are missing out.

 

I have a few friends who are extremely attractive, and the average guys tell them not to date the super pretty men like them. Only guys are allowed to be obsessed with looks, not women

Laughter can get any woman, and money can keep them. Thread solved.
