Why Women Gladly Date Ugly Men (And Probably Even Prefer Them) | |

But, I must admit, Mr. Darcy is pretty easy on the eyes too. I think younger women tend to be more attracted to the six pack and good looks, however after learning a thing or two, or as one gets older and has learned a few life lessons, she finds that.... honesty, loyalty, wit, charm, and overall personality become much more important and appealing. Well, unless the man has a third eye or something simimlar. :) |

Quoting: BeingsouthernSorry...but been there, done that. And it isn't all a bed of roses. So you would rather have a gorgeous man with no money or status rather than an ugly dude with a good job and good status? I wouldn't. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 433772 United States 05/16/2008 02:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can the same argument be used against women? Sometimes. But I find that women are much more inclined to date with their emotions - to pick a man that is funny, comforting, kind, and generous - and they'll often pick one or all of those traits over his looks. Quoting: PrettyOne 433870Quit lieing. The only man you'll find attractive is a man that you know you can't walk all over. The more he is able to put you in your place the deeper your love will be. Now go get me a beer! . |

I do agree,It is about mind and soul/energy/essence and beyond that a true connection linking two individuals both spiritually along with deep chemistry. This is where i do not relate to the general consensus for basing partnership, If they do not get a reaction from within me mentally and emotionally thats where it ends.Physical characteristics aren't dependent on the decision,I couldn't fathom how anyone could do so. Not ruling out physical attraction but is it not the mind and spirit that arouses the senses? Yes it is. I find the article to be accurate in ways,given that physical attributes are not what sustains true relationships or what most women(i do hope) are looking for,But it still merely skimmed the surface of the truth. Anyways,I could ramble on.But that is a portion of i think. “All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.”--Aldous Huxley |

In our land, if you aint out by 20..you are scum and a loser..kind of sad imo. |

Quoting: SurceaseNot all women are that shallow.Absolute bollocks! Enough women are like that, to cause nearly all the guys the OP is talking about, to go chasing Russian or Asian brides. That's why there's so many 30ish women that are leftovers. Sure, she's had fun, but the guys that are "hot" are chasing younger women. The guys that aren't "hot" can be found at [link to www.russianbrides.com] Realistically, many American women over 30 would have a better chance of finding a guy, if they moved to Russia! Holy cow!
