Good looking women with average looking men - how?

Personally, its security. I've been out with guys who my friends have commented - aren't as attractive as I am, but it was nice because they put me on a pedestal and clearly knew they'd got something 'out of their league'.My OH is about on par with me I'd say, hes attractive, not classically handsome but he does get attention for being the unshaven muscly manly type.
If a bloke has no personality, then its a no as looks don't last forever.

No. I am more lucky than I could ever have dared hope for, and far luckier than I deserve in any moral retribution way.:o:D.

He is .......everything ...to me. How could I mind, say, a crooked nose and a modesty of stature when he is the sun rising in my world?

I know makeup has been mentioned before but maybe this has something to do with it.

In my own humble opinion...
All men start to look the same in their 40's 50's - pudding heads with grey hair and paunchy bellies, all wearing the same bloody trousers/jeans with untucked shirts and loafers/trainers - and that's when dressing to impress!
Women are exact opposite (going off my wife and her mates) looking well made up, sexy and gorgeous especially when going out with each other.
Number of times I've said to my mrs "bloody hell woman we're only going down the road for a drink - you look like a film star - I look like a Big Issue seller" (no offence) ...
It boils down to I don't like what I see in the mirror and no amount of polishing can shine this particular t*rd!

I see this all the time, IMHO and I don't mean to offend anyone it is because men are very superficial (they do not care about a woman's inner values and intelligence) while women are often looking for stability including materialistic things.

When my husband and I met I was actually better off financially than he was, and the other people I was seeing were a mixture of incomes. I'd previously lived with a guy who had ...nothing but what he ended up taking from me and when I met my husband I was in an open relationship with a guy considerably wealthy than DH.

Personally, yes, I like to be financially sensible. But I didn't look for someone else to provide it for me then. (Things have changed a little. In that my husband is now the earner in our household and I am not.....but its nothing to do with attraction.....though.....he does look nice in a suit he rarely wears one...great shame IMO.

Sure it's different on a case-to-case basis but that's what I seem to have witnessed a lot in my life.

I was with a guy who was a celebrity, he was ok looking but it was very hard work because he literally had young girls throwing themselves at him. The end of our 5 year relationship came when I found him in bed with a 19 year old (he was in his mid 40s).


I met my (now) husband a few months after we broke up at work, I was a musician, he was the sound engineer. I was completely exhausted with relationships and had no intention at all of getting into one. I actually didn't even notice that I was being chatted up for weeks. Back then I suppose I was the better looking of the two, he had a few extra pounds (he has a few more now, but then so do I) and he'd long since lost his hair. But, he is the kindest, funniest most loyal and generous person I've ever known.


I never considered myself to be beautiful but these days I don't look as good as I once did. I'm now an upper end of normal weight rather than being a size 6, and I don't spend the time or money on looking good as I once did. I've also aged.


My husband hasn't aged a day and I think he is absolutely gorgeous because when I look at him I see all of his beauty, inside and out. He is far more successful than I am and he has the amazing ability to make everyone he meets instantly like him.


My ex, well he is still chasing and being chased by young trophy girls. He has recently pulled a rather stunning young thing and he seems completely besotted with her. I can't help but see the ugly in it all though.

I think its a traditionally accepted view, and I don't think its wrong.

My mother use dot remind .....its as easy to fall for a rich man as it is a poor one. But I think it can also appear that way when its not the case. P
Else meeting us now would assume its the case for example. No one knowing our financial situation (and who does? ) would know ? Similarly, when in traditional family models decide the wife with be a sahp who knows how, other than social norm, that decision came about?
