Science “Proves” Pretty Women Like Ugly Men
We’re always a little skeptical when “science” is used to prove things about dating and relationships (remember when science proved that blacks and Jews were genetically inferior?), so we’re taking this new study that reveals that ladies are way happier when they’re dating ugly men.
Sorry, scientists, but we’ve heard this one before — and we’re still not sure we buy it. We’re sure your study of 82 newlywed couples was totally thorough and highly representative of the world at large, but we’re going to have to go with Julia Allison on this one. Anyone who professes to be happier dating someone they don’t find attractive is either lying or crazy. Or has self esteem issues.

Biologically speaking beauty, simetry etc, are the best indicators of genetical health and fertility competence.
Although once again 100% biologically speaking, ladies seek out supporters and providers, or as Bernard Shaw puts it : “for the maternal instinct leads a woman to prefer a tenth share in a first rate man to the exclusive possession of a third rate one”

Even the ugliest guy thinks that he’s got a chance with Beyonce if only he got the chance to meet her…
March 25th, 2008 at 1:53 pmSomeone could be ugly and you could still be attracted to him. The article didn’t say anything about how much attraction there was between mates.
Also - they are talking about marriage. Sure, wouldn’t a woman prefer an uglier man that is less likely to stray but would make a great dad if she’s planning to have babies? If she’s just going to jump in bed, then maybe the physical bar is raised.
