All I can say is I am glad I don’t have to worry about good looking vs ugly…old vs young…fat vs skinny…As I am a combo of all of them…you can guess which ones :whistle:

Women like what other women like.

Maybe when we are young this is somewhat true, but as we get older, we are more interested in finding someone compatible with what we are looking for in a man than someone who will fit the profile of what our girlfriends find “hot.” Any woman who is stuck in the “what will my girlfriends think” mode is probably too immature to be a desirable partner in a long-term relationship, anyway…unless she is seeking her girlfriends’ opinions on matter of character rather than superficialities.
 
lol so THAT’S why I’m single!!! Oh man, there are definitely times when I despise going to a university with such attractive girls!!! It means the non-attractive people like me get left out!

But seriously, why the heck did they spend money to study THIS?!?!?! Is there really nothing better to do?

A good looking guy doesn’t always want to be seen with someone as good looking or better than him. She would then be competition for the attention he thinks he deserves.

Huh? Not sure I understand this. Okay, I’ll even venture to say that I’m not bad looking, but this is not how I think.

So what you’re saying is that the girlfriend or wife is stealing from attention that would otherwise fall upon him? I’d like to think that I can hold my own in any case.

Maybe those good looking guys don’t have the character to attract an equally attractive woman. Women are more choosy about character. A good-looking guy is no match for a guy with an awesome personality.

What about so many good girls ending up in abusive relationships with men who cheat on them, beat them, care nothing? I don’t think men are oblivious to character when picking long-term partners… Or that women care so much for character when looking for company for a night out.

That’s true. 🙂

And obviously, if someone has that mode of choosing partners, one’s lucky to be out of the range of potential mates of that person.

Even then, it’s different when it’s asking advice and when it’s making sure she’s in tune with what her friends think a guy should act like. 😉 I would be distrustful towards any lady trying actively to synchronise her preferences with those of her friends.

Who says you aren’t attractive? To some guys you certainly are. Different people go for different things. 😉

:shrug:What is pretty at 50, 60, 70 or 80! Hello we all age and as nice as it is to be attractive and beautiful it is only a temporary state.

Hear, hear! Physical “cute” and “pretty” don’t last very long, so there had better be something in addition to that holding the relationship together.

If a man marries because someone is pretty what happens when they have babies, get old, or put on a few pounds!😛

If the man is one of those shallow types, he’ll go looking for someone younger/cuter (a new trophy). Or he’ll nag his wife to death about losing weight/dressing differently, changing hairstyle, etc. 😛
 
I don’t consider myself pretty (I won’t bore you by telling you why), but my dh sure was attracted to me the very first time he saw me. He asked the pastor of the church I had just started attending, “Who’s that cute little lady? And is she married?”

Of course, my dh isn’t the Hollywood type, either. But, I think he’s as cute as a button. What this all boils down to, IMHO, (to coin a cliche) is “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Always has been, always will be. 🤷
 
end up with a wife who is several rungs beneath him on the ladder.

Whoa Nelly! Let’s not forget the dignity that each human being has. Several rungs beneath…I don’t think so.
 
Just from outward observations. Maybe she cooks like Julia Child.

Don’t tell me you don’t notice when a couple is “mismatched.”

When it’s an old ugly guy and a young beautiful woman, don’t you assume “he must have lots of money?”

Dignity is great. But all else being equal… I’m just saying, sometimes the wives are very plain and the husbands are very hot.

:rolleyes:
 
Heh, I do too. I tried to find the actual paper, but it hasn’t been released yet…it seems like they told the media about their findings first…

I don’t think so either. And like CatholicSam, I can’t believe that research money was spent on this.

I need to find out who funded this. If they’ll fund that, I should have no problem getting extra money for my research. :rolleyes:

In other news, it really hurts a lot, if you hit your thumb with a hammer, and hot pots will burn you if you try to pick them up with your bare hands.

(According to a study … )

Yeah, need to make sure it’s statistically significant (do people really feel more pain when they hit their thumbs with hammers as opposed to those who don’t?), and compliant with previously agreed upon methods of measuring pain. :rolleyes:

Still can’t believe people are funded to conduct these studies. I’m in the wrong field.
