Why do Babes dig ugly guys?
Posted: 7/15/2008 12:35:41 PM

Me too. In fact I think it's way more common to see a decent looking guy who has settled for a chick that's probably not as cute as what he could get (strictly basing it on appearances here).


Oh, great--now the next time a "decent looking guy" approaches me, I will know that he is settling for a chick not as cute as he COULD get.


And I will add to that, the average woman is just as superficial as the average guy.


Most of us are shallow, but perhaps some of us express it in different ways, and maybe men are more overt. I look mostly at profiles of men, and as I pointed out earlier, I have seen many that have the picture of a blah looking guy whose banner reads that he wants a "sexy, hot, attractive, steamy, beautiful" (choose your adjective) woman who is sexually aggressive. I don't think I have ever seen a profile of a woman asking for the same qualities in a male in the banner.

It goes back to the "nice guy" syndrome. Many unattractive people (and yes, that is subjective, but there are cultural standards for beauty) want to meet attractive people--and they want those attractive people to look past the ugliness/obesity/whatever to see the "true" person inside.

That is every bit as shallow as the pretty woman wanting a handsome man, or vice-versa.

When I lost 100 pounds, men who hadn't bothered to glance at me before suddenly noticed that I existed. I was the same person on the inside, wasn't I? Or was I? Maybe the lost weight gave me a new confidence that I hadn't possessed before, and maybe that affected how I presented myself. Maybe I could express some facets of my personality that I hadn't felt like I could express before.

Maybe.

first of all, this is rediculous. i know lots of rich peoepl who drive little cars. and i know lots of poor peopel who dump their money into their ride.

as to the only intelligent question or point you inquire about.

why do babes like uglu dudes?

easy, they feel safe. if they had a stuf like you they would need to keep you on a short leash cause you are creepy and stalk peopel out to their cars.
just cause of physical attraction.

the bulb dude probably talks to her instead of look at her like a fun lay.



personally, the girls i fall for are usually what other guys tell me is UGLY.
so maybe its the same for guys? of course, i personally think they are smokin hot. nuts to what stupid perverted creepy stalker fake titty loving poseurs think about her.



unfortuately, i find ugly girls usually put out to be popular. or are dumb on this site.

and i know the ugly guys the girls date arent safe. in fact, they are as likely to cheat as a hot guy. only, ugly guys usually have to pay for sex from hos, strippers or use date rap drugs

so, its a safety thing. ugly guys use a different approach cos they got no muscles to flex
simple really. think about it. youre a hot babe dudes want you but u wanna be with 1 guy so you pick a safe guy. hes not really safe tho they prolly get more action than hot guys cos

girls assume no one else would touch them so they jump on.
take a look at a hot guy and think, damn i bet he gets laid every day im not gonna be his next toy
then the bulb dude talks to little boys online for a 3some behind his wifes back n pretend shes down with it so he can try to get pics of the boys bulb privates

Well, tell me... What about guys with medium to above average looks, who also have personality, charisma, are well-spoken and naturally outgoing. You can't imagine how many times I've been no more than myself, and either been outright told I "must be a playa" or worse, been challenged to a duel by some insecure little dipshit who was short on IQ and social skills, but undoubtedly held his two inches like a baseball bat and peed down his last three fingers.

I mean, REALLY! I'm no Adonis, but I DO come equipped with a sampler platter of everything a woman is reputed to want. I think I have come to be a little resentful of the prettyboy types, because they tend to use and abuse women. I'm not far behind them in the looks category, at least when I was younger than my still-fit-43... But it seems like someone has shat right in the middle of the ladies' parade years ago, and now I have to pay market value for everyone else's collective damages?

I keep the faith on this one. There's a nice girl out there for me somewhere, with similar interests, and levels of fitness and intelligence. Even if I finally find her in my nursing home, at least we can fall in love and die together naked in the same hospital bed!

Some people have stated that many women would date an ugly man because of his personality. IMO that's mostly false. I think many women might date a man that THEY think is a "6" or a "5" or maybe even a "4" in terms of physical attractiveness because of personality. Most women wouldn't date a man that THEY think is a "1" or "2" in terms of physical attractiveness because of personality. As stated by a few other posters, if a woman does date or marry a man that THEY think is a "1" or "2" in terms of physical attractiveness, it is often because he is rich or because he was more physically attractive when she first met him. Also looks can be subjective. A man that is a "2" to me could be a "5" to another woman or a "8" to a third woman.

I cant be bothered to read through 4 pages of what im sure is name calling and opinionated arguments. I think I will take this like a serious question and answer accordingly.

I would never date a perfect 10. I dont think I could hold a candle to his expectations, and people who are really good looking are often aware of it. I need a nice 6 to 8 on the 1-10 scale. I little imperfections, like some excess weight (SOME) and a nice bald head...well thats a turn on for me anyway...is even better because I know the guy isnt looking at me with that "I can do better" attitude the first time I have a bad hair night.

Also I dont care if you look like Mel Gibson and I look like Cindy Crawford (But I do..dont I? lol) If I cant hold a decient FUN and intelligent conversation with you, youre not getting past a handshake. In my opinion, personality will go alot further than looks anyday, and if you make me laugh? Get the ring.

I know what you mean OP.

Why do they like me?

I don't want them either - it's just so not appropriate.

I've got a mate in his late 50's and he's got hot 30 year olds using him for sex only relationships - they don't want money or anything from him. And he's nowhere near a Brad (and neither am I of course).

What are we missing here?

I suggest you good looking guys go get your teeth mangled at the dentist and get some plastic surgeon wrinkle you all up and add 20 lbs belly fat. Works great.

I think it's something in the unconscious personally. Like some kind of 'aura'.

I think I'm going to just regurgitate something that's already been said a few times...

WHO CARES!!!

People are with people for their own reasons. They didn't ask you to evaluate thier looks or social/economic status to determine if they were right for eachother. It sounds like the origional poster is just a bit bitter because he hasn't had luck with the ladies after demoting himself from "player" status. What goes around comes around... I have no sympathy.

Lets be real, the OP is just picky. Unfortunately, picky ass men come in all varieties; whether they're a hard body and baby face, or the Dr. Magoo looking type. You fools should stop being so superficial. Women know what you are about and they don't get invovled or bother with you because they know the whole relationship would be about YOU anyway!!! The girl you have on your arm defines who you are. It's some sort of status symbol for you. That's egotisic and selfish. Women don't like men who are selfish.

Bring your feet back down to the earth and maybe you'll luck out and get the whole enchilada. A babe with beauty, brawn, brains, and money. We are looking for men who "compliment" us, not men who could "complete" us.

I'm out...

Is the word 'dig' still used??
I thought I was back in the 70's reading that!

I guess he has personality and she knows that.
Why you need to judge someone else' choice of partner though is beyond me.

I suspect that she wouldn't choose a man who had that kind of an attitude.
Good for her!

Just sounds like sour grapes to me OP.


OP, I read your profile and no offense, but you kind of sounded like the egotistical jerks I dated. Now, I dont know you from Adam, but it was like in almost every line you wrote that you were attractive, you were tall dark and hansome, you want an attractive female, attractive attractive attractive. It was pretty redundant.

rockchick and Pepsi figured this one out pretty quick! "Why is she with HIM when she could be with ME!" Methinks the OP needs a little cheese to go with that whine.

Oh, great--now the next time a "decent looking guy" approaches me, I will know that he is settling for a chick not as cute as he COULD get.


LOL. It depends on the guy. All kidding aside, it actually could be a good thing. It could mean you're just a down to earth, low maintenance kind of gal, and even though the guy on your arm may have the looks of a model and could himself get the attention of a female model-he doesn't want the crap that goes with it. In other words, for any girl that's an 8 or above, it's very often not enough for the guy just to have looks. He's got to have some status, some financial stability (erring on the side of well to do), have a good personality, etc... not saying this the case with every very cute girl, but very often it is.


I don't think I have ever seen a profile of a woman asking for the same qualities in a male in the banner.


Unfortunately, I have seen these for the ladies too, but I can't vouch for which gender has more since I don't look at guys profiles often. And what isn't in the banner along these, is often made up for in the body of the profile.

Anyway, you're point is not lost me... in fact, you're agreeing with my original point in a round about way: The may be a little more upfront about it, but exact same superficial desires are there with women too, yet many of them-and the culture as a wh0le- like to pretend they are not as concerned with such things.

I am not making value judgments on either gender for desiring things that are pretty, shiney, and new.... go for what you think you want, fine by me. But I really have not found women care less about looks, and some many have privately admitted to me that they do think girls are even more concerned than guys are.

just a couple of quick notes..
to Damon....that's a "nocaster relic reissue"...the LP is a 1996 STD.
To Miss Gwen...sorry, about the "q" insread of the "G"...that was what it looked like on my screen...

To Edward...."Ugly men have game "....
on, topic, I like that. No one ever calls Bulldogs, or Pitbulls "pretty" (although I think they are, in their own way) but they have "game", and to those not familiar to dog language, that means they are in it for real.
So, I'll say that's a point well taken, sir!

WHY? because there are other factors involved, besides the guy being good-looking; maybe, she was attracted to this person, because of his personality or maybe, they are together, because of chemistry. I have seen a lot of, (what you would call, attractive people) with others, who were not "that" good-looking! Why?, because, people are drawn to each other, besides their mates physical appearance; they attracted to their mate's other qualities, like, intelligence, personality, morals, mentality, etc.

Thunder, I didn't realize they did a nocaster relic... most here probably think you were joking about "nocaster"... Those of you curious go check out the Fender website.... There really WAS a "nocaster". Very ,very early on. Relic series guitars are new ones built to old spec's and then 'aged' with scrapes, belt buckle scratches in the back, sweaty fore-arm wear on the body... And a price tag to boot, lol.

I still like my old pre-war HD-28 and my 130year old Czech upright bass... Though I concede ownership of a Custom Shop order American Standard Tex-Mex Telly. Love that Fishman bridge, but didn't want Hecho en Mexico on the headstock...

Awesome analogy with the ugly dogs. Surely, that's what I've always loved about English Bulldogs and many others in their strand of the genetic world. Any man as smart, loyal and charasmatic as one of that bunch, would remain in demand long after he went out of style, no doubt.

We better watch it, friend. The pretty-boys might get pissed off at the musicians all over again!

many people say that my current beau and i re mismatched, and HE constantly says, "i bet people wonder how a troll like me is dating a hot chick like you" (HIS opinion, not mine). the truth??? it took me months to get over the fact that i was not walking into the room with a tall, well-dressed, "headturner" as i have been previously used to dating...but the headturners, as other posters have pointed out, have had "issues" beyond belief...cheaters (because, let's face it, they could!!!), entitlement issues, egocentric, perfectionistic,you name it. My current guy? spoils me rotten, treats me and my daughter like princesses, is full of suprises, and sees the value in what he has, as opposed to subscribing to the "grass is always greener" philosophy that a true stud can perpetually afford to entertain. contrary to popular belief, nice guys don't ALWAYS finish last!!!
