Why Women Gladly Date Ugly Men....................

We'll she'd have to have one hell of a personality makeover.

Yet, in the spirit of honesty - I'll answer "probably not".

I am finding, however, as I advance in age, that looks do not mean as much to me as they once did. This is not to say that they don't mean anything, I'm just saying that putting the above question up there leaves so many variables unanswered that it's impossible to say.




And perhaps, for me, Heather Locklear is not the best example. I'm not much of a fan of the blonde, playboy bunny types. Never have been. My tastes, insofar as appearance goes, is oftentimes unorthodox.


Understood!! Since Heather Locklear was mentioned I figured I would use her as example for lack of someone else.

I understood the spirit of the question, and that "Heather Locklear" was the [Pick-A-Hottie] placeholder. Everything in the response still holds true.

Seriously, I think a huge part of it is evolution and what kind of genetic make-up we have as to what we find attractive. I hate to say we all grow up to marry men like our dads - but we do on some level. :ohwell:

Also in this day and age, it's not about survival of the fittest, but of the most intelligent. In this case, more and more non-GQ guys are considered :hot: because of what else they bring to the party in the way of intellect and skills. Or at least in my case I find the :nerd: type super :hot:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

I've dated some extremely gorgeous girls. I've dated some girl next door types too.

Each one of them had something that I thought was sexy about them.

Physical attraction gets your foot in the door, but after that you have to close the deal and show that you have more to offer than just a pretty face.


The "Average" looking male or female may not be all that average to the person who is admiring them. And yes, physical attraction does get the foot in the door but there needs to be more than a pretty face. I was just curious to get a perspective on the "average" or "not as attractive" female and what a man would do in that instance.

Heather USED to be a hottie. She's had so many lifts and tucks and facial treatments that I'm not sure there is anything original under there. Have you recently seen her hands? Or legs? She is an old lady now.....

:lmao: No, haven't seen her recently. Guess that split from what's his face, Ritchie Sambora, took it's toll on her?

I know many pretty people who are basket cases. They are coddled and boo-boo'd and catered after and have an easier go of it all their lives. Ugly people don't get the leg up, the extra consideration, the extra attention so they may be more resilient. Some ugly people collapse under the strain and are angry, some compensate and achieve one of the field levelers.

It's true.
Ugly people face some of the worst discrimination out there. :coffee:

But what's up with the droves of ugly people in southern maryland? Is there some kind of incentive plan to attract them or is it just how we grow em down here?

I am not saying that women are gold diggers, I am saying men look for hotness, women look for a "provider".

Actually I have no clue, I just made this up.

Hot provider is good. Otherwise women can provide for themselves and have boytoys to keep them occupied. :drool:

You cannot be who and what you are unless you have a lifestyle, both internally and externally, that is designed to support that definition of self.

What are the truths you believe about yourself when no one else is looking?

I'm really not sure what all you are saying... Over my head, I am blonde, please forgive me... Its not that no one else is looking, many of opportunities out there... I just may be a bit picky...

I have heard that.... And really I'm not saying anything is about looks, there are many other factors that contribute to finding your mate... Just something I have noticed...

it's called "settling" both sides do it

True, it could be regional or self esteem issues but people settle thinking "i can't do any better" or "I don't deserve any better"

The thing about it is it's probably subconscious. People don't even realize it. I won't settle, well, I'm gonna try not to settle. I think my biggest problem is I think "Well maybe, he could be a nice guy" and you give him a chance but then for whatever reason it doesn't work out and then you sit back and try to figure out where YOU went wrong. How come I pick the wrong guy again? So then it becomes a case of "Every guy I pick is wrong" so why bother? You want someone your physically attracted to in some way but I don't know, we have to "settle" to some extent because we all are not perfect. It's such a fine line; what types of things are we settling for? I want certain qualities in a male but am I willing to settle for a liar vs someone who isn't an drug addict or alcoholic? Am I willing to settle for someone who is controlling but doesn't cheat? Those types of things and quite honestly, I'd rather not. The truth is I may spend the rest of my alone, but it beats being in an unhappy relationship just to say I have someone. I'm seriously trying to come to terms with it. I've been in many unhappy relationships and it's miserable!!

Totally agree... You got one life... Why settle??? Its just leads to affairs and hurting others... I'm completely happy being single, and when someone comes along worth "settling" for, I will...
