Why do Babes dig ugly guys?
Posted: 7/15/2008 5:45:19 AM
I was walking up to Blockbuster the other day, saw this beautifull blond woman, twenty-something, walking with this guy. I checked her out she checked me out, then the guy said something to her and took her hand! they walked hand in hand to the car. I was curious as to what kind of car and it was a Civic Hatchback. I thought at first this guy was her older brother, or a cousin... he was not fat but almost there, almost balb, short, driving a hatchback so he's not rich....

Why would a babe date an ugly guy? sometimes for money I can understand, though not in this example. pity relationship? maybe, but for how long? getting nasty with an attractive person vs. an ugly person is a different experience, especially in the long run... if this guy is not completly fat and completely balb now, he will be in a few years. cause he has a great personality? again, that goes for a little while, but long run?

Why do girls date ugly guys?

PS - I use the term ugly as a very general word, cause its easy to use, and simpler than trying to find adequate politically-correct adjectives. I dont mean disrespect. I dont mean to sound shallow with this question, but I think we've all seen it sometime and wondered why an attractive person is with that unattractive person. pls understand

Thats a very good point everlast but I'm not sure they do in general, don't get any ever want to date me!!!..I think that most women, just like most men too, tend to go for the good looking partner, so maybe this bloke was just one of those annoying "born lucky" types LOL (but thats another topic completely!!).

Yikes, this is gonna get ugly. (No pun intended!)

I think you have things confused. Personality does not "go for a little while".
It's looks that fade, the personality sticks around.

Besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just because you thought he was ugly doesn't mean she does. IE I think Rob Zombie is gorgeous and most think he's beastly.

He's probably got a sexy brain, great sense of humor and an excellent self-image.

I know many guys I thought were ugly until I got inside their heads...now they're mega-sexy! Brad Pitt is nasty...Jeff Goldblum is hot. BRAINS ARE SEXY!!!

Agree Metal Vixen.

Plus, in my experience, very good looking guys know they are, and as a result are are vain, conceited and have a complete inability to laugh at themselves.

Maybe the ugly guy made her feel like the most wonderful woman in the world, maybe he made her laugh, maybe he was HOT in bed. Who knows! It's not your place to judge whether someone should find another person hot or not.

Just sounds like sour grapes to me OP.

Maybe they met in highschool when she was all zitty with braces. In the 80's I had a thing for geeks. One time I was in a club with my now ex, and he was coming from the bar, and this guy next to me says, "Ha, lookit that guy, he looks just like Clark Kent" I informed him that was my husband, and we both had a giggle, cuz it was true. I still have a thing for the engineer geek.But not totally.

I also agree with MetalVixen. That's about as shallow as you can get OP.

Op - you've made a lot of assumptions with your post.

I agree with the poster who said, personality actually goes a lot farther than looks. Looks fade. Maybe the fact that he had a cheap car means he actually has cash in the bank...This post is all about judging a book by its cover - It would appear that the "babe" didn't do this. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Happens all the time. Just goes to prove that men are more shallow than women. Why don't good looking guys date ugly women??? You never see that. Poor fella that would hurt the male ego especially in front of his friends.

no sour grapes here! I'm a happy guy, I can get a babe too.

I'm just asking a question, I'm sure we've all had the same experience at some point in our lives. At some point in our lives, I'm sure we've all seen a couple, where we're like, "OMG!!!!!! How the hell is that person with that person!!!!!" there is a very obvious disparity in the looks of each couple. I thnk somewhere, somehow, the disparity in those looks has to come into play.

I'm just curious, and you can bash me if you want, but I'm sure I'm not the only person wondering this

Well, my two cents is this... I have dated the muscle-bound, fancy car, good looking guys and they were all self centered egotistical jerks. We would go out and it was all about them, how much money they had, had all the girls looking at them, and treated me like shit. Was not fun. In my late teens to mid 20's I was attracted to that type a guy.
I finally realized that it's not the looks that are important (yes, you should be physically attracted to your partner) but looks fade. What is attractive to me is personality, someone who can make me laugh, and treats me and my child well. I dated a guy awhile back who I was not attracted to at first. We became friends and the more we hung out the more his personality shined through and the more attractive he became.
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. The picture I got is that you liked the tall, skinny, had a nice ass big breasts female. Now I do not know if this is the case because I dont know you and I do apologize if this is not the case. You could very well be a nice respectable male. However, that is not the feeling I got when I looked at your profile.

IT CAN'T BE FUN FOR YOU, CALLING YOURSELF "EVERLAST" WHEN YOU NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO PROVE IT!! YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER A NAME CHANGE, PERHAPS "NEVERLAST". HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING THE PALM SISTERS.

UGLY "BLAD" GUY

I don't get upset when I see this, it just gives me hope. And it's obviously not true that "babes dig ugly guys" or I'd be beating them off with a stick. Okay, I wouldn't beat anyone with a stick, I'd let them flock to me, but it's just not true. It's a rarity when it does happen and good for them.

I'm just glad I'm not "balb", whatever that is.

Sometimes women like good looking men who are stupid, and somethings they like bad looking men who are smart, and sometimes they get lucky and find one who is both stupid and bad looking.

Maybe she's one of those girls that's a real looker, but doesn't see herself that way and doesn't look at other people that way, either.

Maybe he can lick his eyebrows.

To The OP

When guys say "Why Do Babes Dig Ugly Guys ?" You will often find that they are usually over rating the girl or under rating the guy. Also because for most guys looks are the most important thing they go for. They think women operate with the same criteria. If women were into looks then only about 5% of men would be getting laid. So obviously there is something else going on.

Remember hot women can get virtually any man they want. These women are already validated daily by their looks, so there is no need to seek validation in their mate as well. They pick the guy that they actually like, not one that looks good (prompting many “I don’t believe she’s with him” remarks from other jealous men)

I have to agree that it does make me wonder why so many gals come on to me in real life.. " computer dating is a fantasy not real life.."

I'm as ugly as sin but good looking gals like me anyway. Even gals that are so young it makes me blush.
Who knows why women do what they do???

First off, it's been my overall experience that while a few beautiful women will date ugly guys, most do not. Just like wealthy people typically date other wealthy people and so on. There are some exceptions but it's probably a small percentage.
Secondly, the attractive women who date "ugly" guys must have a reason for it. Perhaps the women don't see they guys as being unattractive for one. I joked about hooking up the woman I was dating once with a guy who had his body filled with tattoos and piercings. She actually thought that was attractive and I thought, "What the Hell is wrong with her?" Perhaps too, the woman doesn't see herself as being attractive in the first place. I've seen a lot of women who think they're ugly just because they're not slim. If a woman thinks she's unattractive then she's more likely to date a guy who's "unattractive" like she is.
Thirdly, do you think a person's personality is going to change? Just the fact that you even made that comment dumbfounds me! You're obviously a very shallow kind of guy. You seem to put a woman's attractiveness above all else. Has it ever occured to you that a very hot woman is much more likely to cheat and be a **** and be whiney and needy? Gorgeous women have a tendency to be pampered and to get their own way. Semi-attractive and ugly women tend to be more normal, down-to-earth and willing to compromise. What happens to you have that beautiful trophy woman on your arm whom you're proud to show off, but in private she hates sex and doesn't put out? Better yet, what if she's really attractive, but very dull and you have little in common or not much to talk about? I would much rather have a woman's who was a 5 with a personality of a 10 then a woman who looks like a 10 with the personality of a 5.

Why would a babe date an ugly guy?


They don't.

I won't beat you up to badly for making this statement since you're not the only one to bring this theory forward. But think about-how often do you really see a cute girl with a ugly guy? Yeah, occasionally it happens, but not very often. It just sticks out in your mind more, known in statistics as a sampling error.

(and please, please, please- refrain from chiming in about some Hollywood couple you can think of, like Mutt and Shania - that's not the same, I am talking real world here)

And because I have a theory that guys tend to settle- I actually think I see more ugly girls with decent looking guys (i.e. the guy could do better). But I don't really think either scenario is nearly as common as the OP is making it sound.


I have dated the muscle-bound, fancy car, good looking guys and they were all self centered egotistical jerks. We would go out and it was all about them, how much money they had, had all the girls looking at them, and treated me like shit. Was not fun. In my late teens to mid 20's I was attracted to that type a guy.


Now this I have seen many times. You basically treat each other like objects (or as you said, like shit). He can do this because he is good looking and has other options. You are treating him like shit by only appreciating him for money, looks, and status.

One of the things I learned over the last 2 years of dating and talking to a lot of woman, was how looks are less important to them. You know, the one about how guys are more visual but girls look for deeper qualities? Well, my experience has been that this is only half true. Woman are just as critical of looks as men are, but in a different way-it may not be the absolutely first thing they notice about you, but when they assess that aspect (eventually, they will), it better be there. And the part about them being interested in the other qualities is still valid.. you need have those too, whereas it's enough for a girl just to be cute and have a half way decent personality.

Anyway, look around mate. You're not seeing as many ugly guys with cute girls as you think.

Why was she automatically a babe just because she fitted the Stereotype Blondie..


Besides, how do you know this guy was Ugly..

To you maybe but not to her, and get it out of your mind that just because some woman you personally think is a babe gives you a look that this manes she wants to be with you..

Wow speaking of illusions of grandeur...
