Women prefer to date ugly men



Researchers at Newcastle University believe that ugly men exist as a way of repairing the gene pool. Women would rather date men with good genes, who can fight disease easily and not the classically handsome man.

According to Diane Felmee a sociologist - only 1/3 of women believe that a man’s looks are the first thing that attracted them to him. Most women preferred a sense of humor, money and men with successful careers.

Women prefer to date ugly men

Women prefer to date ugly men for the following reasons:

  • Ugly men try harder.
  • Ugly men care more.
  • Unattracive men know how to treat a woman like a princess.
  • Blokes(men) with bald heads drive women really crazy and make them laugh, too.
  • Looks alone aren’t enough to desire a man.
  • Men who look different are often intriguing with something to offer on the inside.
  • Once the bedroom lights go out, it’s down to sexual skill and personality.
  • Smooth-looking men are unattractive.
  • Good-looking men are just boring.
  • Good-looking guys are self-obsessed and not attractive.

Do you think that women prefer to date ugly men?

Or is this study incorrect in its findings?

I do appreciate a fine ass looking man, I also agree they become boring after a while. BUT IT'S NOT A REASON TO DATE A FLAT OUT UGLY NO-TEETH-LAZY EYED GUY

I think 2 possibilities

1)1st of all woman attract on man's look then communicate etc.
2)starts with communication, but she didn't like this man, but after nice communication she like this man - it comes to love

some beautiful man are nice!!!! depends what you think a beautiful guy is! i had few pretty boyfriends and it was great! i think its more either about yourself esteem, that you think you don't deserve anyone better or it could be love in this case no one cares about the look

fantastic,

Self-esteem is an important element in finding a mate. A person should always feel that they are worthy of the best and not settle for less because of a person's looks.

Do you think that ugly men treat a women better?

surely not, i'm just giving thought why woman would choose an ugly one.... she will have then an illusion that nobody else would like him so she can own as much as she wants.....also there are some ladies who pick not only ugly man, but ugly female friend so she could feel herself more beautiful and sexy compare to ugly mate :)))) women are cruel! if she choose an ugly one she probably has a hidden motive. its much easier to fall in love with person who is pretty looking:)

nuacco,

I am with you on this one.
I love Georgous Men! Always will!

This is why I decided to post this article, because in my opinion, to say you would date only ugly men is a bit shallow as we have concluded in the piece.

I really do not believe that:
Ugly men try harder.
Ugly men care more.
Unattracive men know how to treat a woman like a princess.

Speaking from my personal experience as woman whom dates men only, I have been on both sides of the fence I have dated ugly men and extremely attractive men.

In my opinion, the attractive men treated me extremely well. (Besides they are a great site to see first thing in the morning:)

As for would I date an ugly man ... No Way!
I am just being honest ... I would never want to mislead anyone on my personal preferences when it comes to dating.

I have no self-esteem issues. I believe that when dating you should go for what you want and never settle for less ...

being with an ugly man doesn't mean that you settle for less! I know it sounds like bullshit but what's inside matters more to me. Yes, when you look at the magazines you don't see ugly men and if I'm on the street I only notice the good looking ones, but when it comes to relationships and dating I don't care at all about what he looks like! It has nothing to do with self-esteem, to me it's all mental!

I have dated beautiful men and it was great but not so mentally challenging... beautiful people generally have the tendency to forget their mind since everything is easier for them from the first look. Of course I had many beautiful friends that were very smart and concentrated more in their intellectual part so I cannot generalize I guess...

Fantastic,

You were not the only one, this is indeed a true fact. In my profession, I come into contact with men that are attractive, well-groomed and smell pleasant often -

In my opinion, they are overwhelmingly desirable because they have education and social skills as well.

The reasons that women would prefer to date ugly men as mentioned above does have some truth to it, however these are still considered generalizations. It was not mentioned whether or not the women were ugly or not in the 'running' to begin with and naturaly her lack of facial graces may make her think or feel she would be more compatible in areas of beauty. Furthermore an ugly man could be of status and substance that would make him sociably and financially desireable, especially for a woman of status and 'at awe beauty'.

No Donald Trump for you ... I am with you.
He is unattractive...but look at all the women that have married him.

#1 Ivana Trump- She began modeling for Audrey Morris, the top modeling agency in
Montreal at the time.

#2 Marla Maples- She was an actress before her marriage and she played the character of Muffy in the movie Black and White. In 1983 she was runner-up Miss Georgia and a model

#3 Melania - She was bent on establishing
herself as a successful and unique model, confident she could woo designers and magazines with both her body and wit.

ugly men want to date beautiful women, when they know damn well that all they can afford is an ugly chick.
I don't know what you call ugly, but to me a man/woman is ugly, because there's no attitude & no effort to enhance what's the best in oneself. It's not about having a particular nose/mouth/ eyes (I exclude lazy eyes!)
any self-confident man & class is sexy.

I think knowing what we really worth & having standards is self-confidence. NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS. I never excuse myself for refusing a date, lol. It's not a weakness,it's just assuming choices.

absatou,

NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS are the key words here and I agree.

When you are self-confident, you will only go after what you want ...

There are people whom do settle for less , because they believe that they can’t have the desires of their heart. This has a lot to do with what they feel on the inside more than anything else does.

Ex: I have heard men say that they wouldn’t date a particular woman, because of her social status, educational level or nice looks. Because they believe that, she would not want them, because THEY do not have the equivalent.

I think I am getting into another subject, here ...

... so I will just reiterate what I wrote earlier, always go for what you desire, do not ever feel that you are not worthy of what you want.

NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS

I am attracted to beautiful men but that simply isn't enough. I've dated models and men who are not as conventionally attractive, and I will say simply affirm that in my experience, the unconventional ones were ten thousand times more charming and were the only ones able to steal my heart. However, if a beautiful man had those characteristics, I woudn't mind- BUT designer people don't exist, and personality counts more.

I agree with Bree that you should never settle for less. I never thought I'd date some of the people I dated, and they fell in love with me. All I'm saying is that people can define "less" differently. The one who finally stole my heart- he isn't conventionally good-looking or successful. I would do anything for him. To me, he is the ultimate prize, even though most people wouldn't judge him as such.
