Some people think Steven Tyler is hot. This is definitive proof that there is no single standard for looks so studies like this are just plain goofy. Oh, and Rea Perlman thinks Danny De Vito is the hottest man on the planet. It's about love, not looks - or should be.
Yes Steven Tyler is hot(very hot), but at the same time he is ugly as home made sin.
As to the OP's post, I think there is some truth to it, as perhaps men that are married to better looking women might try harder to make a relationship or a marriage work. | |

and truly the best of the species......
If two ugly people had children this would be a guarantee that the children would be drop dead gorgeous. I've seen this too many times to not know it to be true..
As a side bar.....Ugly men tend to have unlimited credit on their credit card, which makes them quite lovely in my book... Just Kidding

Spend a few hours checking out female profiles and disabuse yourself of that notion. You were kidding, right? | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 7:08:50 AM | | My take on it...a less attractive person, either male or female, does not rely on their looks, they work on their personality, sense of humor....which makes for a more desirable person all around. | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 7:15:54 AM | ^^^ So are you saying that people who are perceived as attractive by others (which is 100 percent subjective) don't develop their personalities? I don't think so. Some people grativitate towards 'attractive' because they look good AND are fun/interesting to be around. Attractive encompasses a lot. It doesn't start or stop with one's physicality, IMHO.
OP, I don't know if this it altogether true. It's definitely not in every situation. My last b/f had a low self-esteem and constantly thought that I thought he wasn't enough for me in the looks (and other) department. This is untrue because, I stepped to him in the first place. I think people who are comfortable with themselves will be happy with people who are comfortable with themselves.
Just sayin.  | |

Not at all, just think there is something to it. Not putting 'attractive' people down at all, but there are a few this applies to. | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 5:13:44 PM | | Perhaps it only seems that way because women are attracted by more than asthetics. The men that I am most attracted to are men who have a deep well of care for others, but are stand up, and make me feel that they would always have my back and be protective of me. Gregarious men that aren't afraid to be themselves and make no apologies for it. The man that I have a secret crush on at the moment is terribly overweight. Anyway...I think it may just appear that way becasue it is attitude and personality that make men attractive in womens eyes, so perhaps their marriages are happier because they married each other for the right reasons in the first place! | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 9:14:59 PM | I don't think it says Ugly anywhere in the article. I think it says less attractive. So couldn't these less attractive men still me very handsome?
I listen to Howard Stern. When this story broke, they actually put a pic of him and his fiancee in the new york times. He was also doing a contest called "Hottest wife, Ugliest husband". Those women said they fell in love because of their husband's kindness.
Anyways, coming from an alot less than attractive male who was married to a very good looking woman for 19 years, I stuck with her because I felt it was the best I could get. I agreed with her, I let her when all the fights, she controlled the finances, she was everything.
The only reason it lasted so long is because I was willing to bend to her wants and sacrificed alot.
I am only grateful now that she fell in love with another man (which I am told is uglier than me, but that was maybe just to make me feel better) and left with only her clothes.
Anyways, I think women look beyond looks more than men do. And lets face it, who was rating the looks of the couples.
I also agree that they should of looked more at the 20 year mark than the 6 month. At that point the male is still trying to please the hot wife, and the hot wife hasn't gotten bored yet. | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 9:41:14 PM | | I married a not-so-goodlooking man and I was considered one of those "pretty girls". His degree of good looks was not a big issue to me. I adored him. But as I aged, he started looking at the younger women and found a few others. He said that he had never loved me and wasn't happy. When I asked why he married me, he stated " I thought you were so pretty". And he said that he would marry again and she would "have to be a knock-out". I have gone through counciling and one thing that I have dicovered is that a man that REQUIRES a very pretty woman on his arm is an insecure man. | |

Yes, no matter how beautiful the woman there's some guy who's tired of sleeping with her.
> and one thing that I have dicovered is that a man that REQUIRES a very pretty woman on his arm is an insecure man.
If being called names such as "insecure" is the price of having a very pretty woman on his arm, I think most men would be willing to pay it. Everything else being equal, of course.
Besides, I thought the truly insecure were only able to swing getting a fugly. Or was that a low self-esteem thing? I can never remember which pathology goes with which symptom...

Posted: 5/28/2008 10:17:39 PM | | Missdix, your ex sounds very stupid. i mean to marry you because you were "so pretty"? wow, shallow much? i remember we had neighbors across the street when i was a kid and the man told my mother the only reason he married his wife was because she was so attractive, you know blonde with a nice body. unfortunately later on he discovered she had no brain and was not very bright. he wasn't very happy with her but they stayed married until his death and had two kids. but i think he regretted it. | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 10:24:46 PM | | Yes Curvyone, he was stupid and immature, it think. I was 18 and he was 25 and in ways, I was the more mature of the two. But if I had been a few years older, I think that I would have handled the situation much better. | |

I think it's because a less than attractive man or insecure man would feel like he has something so much greater than he ever thought he would that he treats her better than anyone else would to make sure he keeps her. Hell no!!! I had the exact opposite experience, my "not so goodlooking" ex did all that he could to criticise me and bring me down and insult me and make me feel like i wasn't good enough for him. His friends used to say things like "how did you get someone like her", so he would insult me even more. He was so insecure because he knew other men found me attractive that he always tried to make me believe that i wasn't.. | |
