Ugly Husband Key To Successful Marriage
Posted: 3/24/2008 3:57:14 PM
The best marriages are those where women marry men who are less attractive than themselves, research has found.

Psychologists who studied newlyweds found men who were better-looking than their wives were more likely to be unhappy and have negative feelings about their marriage.

So there is hope for us ugly guys!

I believe there was a song written about this..." If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife...go from my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you." LOL

My ex wife is with a man who is much uglier than I. No wonder our marriage didn't work. I'm too damn hot!

You know not sure if there is a lot of truth to that or not. It shouldnt be about looks but about who the person is. Good Luck

One person's ugly is another's beautiful! I really think that this study is flawed. I don't think their can be a consensus on what is considered beautiful. So how does that study define beauty? Ugliness?? Gee, I mean my sister and I cannot even agree if a guy is a hot or not! (I think her men are ugly most often then not, and she thinks mine are 'geeky', ie, ugly).

I guarantee if someone is "ugly" on the inside, they are fooling themselves about having a successful marriage, much less a successful life. Looks may open the door, but they don't sustain a relationship. Believe it or not OP - women are visually stimulated, we're more discreet than men are. A key to a successful marriage is not based on looks, rather it is based on attitude, honesty, willingness to commit, acceptance, and respect.

A cheater is a cheater regardless of looks, IMO!
Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...my ex fiancee cheated on me with his now girlfriend and EVERYONE asks WHY!? because they don't find her attractive (nor do I)...but I guess he found something beautiful in her...

I am not going to look up that link.
Who the hell are these 'Researchers'???? really now...and how big was the 'pool' of respondents and where were these people residing?.... how much were they paid?

Frankly my dear after working with pollsters and hiring pollsters to produce 'results' I can tell you that I call that total and utter BS research.

yes, dating... yes a romp in the sack...but come on now... we choose an unattractive Spouse?....give me a freakin break!

some cultures men are looking for a woman with wide hips to shoot out many babies....other cultures it is an arranged marrriage...others simply business ...how much family money is in the future... some based on the size of the cranial lobe... ..so I don't buy into this 'Research'.
I can get a Government Grant to do Research too...and submit a proposal and maybe use the POF members to provide me with answers eh?

one of my fav movie lines is from Sleepless in Seattle...when Tom Hank's character asks his kid.... 'How do you know she is a Dr?....her first name could be Doctor'.....

I've watched some t.v. commercials, and I've noticed that any kind of family type situation, the hubby is not necessarily ugly, but geeky or nerdy, as compared to the wife. I think I'm going to call my agent......

Successful marriages have a mutual attraction between partners. Inner and outer. If someone is just settling, it isn't a successful marriage as far as I'm concerned. Even if it lasts.

But yes, there is hope for ugly guys. Just not as much as the good looking unless you are rich or famous, or both. If you're rich and famous, you can look like a turd. But, you won't have it as good as a good looking rich and famous guy. Generally speaking.

Rose. Are you here causing chaos again lol!! Love it!

Consider the source - Fox News. It does not get any more reliable and unbiased than that lol! Crap this research might even have been conducted by Mr. My Head Spins Bill or how about Rush in a daze Limbaugh. Maybe they even consulted crazy Ann when conducting this research! Damn, Fox never seize to amaze with the bs they put put

So there it is. Ladies, you all need to pursue Quasimodo for a healthy relationship !!!!!

I disagree!!!!!! Its when the wife is ugly! My dad married a woman so ugly, that when she tried to join an ugly contest, they said "sorry, no professionals". She is so stupid...it takes her two hours to watch 60 minutes...she is so fat, she could go to the beach and sell shade! And he is happy with her! So be it!

I believe there is no relationship between an "ugly" person and wether they cheet or try to make a marriage work...It is based on wether they are able to have an intimate relationship and loyalty. Morals are either present or they are not. My father used to tell my brother to marry an ugly girl and she will make a good wife but that is crap. He married a beautiful woman and she is by his side and they have 2 kids who graduated with honors from Texas A&M. Marry someone who is loyal and who learned to be morally correct from their parents example, and success is in your corner. Pride is related to loyalty and some homely people have a complex like the bald men, and the short man, Nepolion, or fat lady syndromes....that may tempt a otherwise moral person to stoop below to a lower level for an ego boost. Sometimes studies reflect what the research study is aimed to prove. sometimes it is dependant on where the study was take n and the age of the persons studied...young people may be more effected by the outward appearance, but if you are talking about mature long term relationships...can people really be so shallow? after a few years the looks change, go away or become invisable.

Great...another load of crap stuck in between the ads in some rag magazine.

The only legit research is found documented in a scientific journal. You want to do some of your own research, check out the background, educational credentials and other "research" projects the author has participated in and where their studies are published.

For an article like this, I wouldn't waste my time.
