Good looking women with average looking men - how?

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.

Who was it? Was it Hunter from Gladiators?

Beauty is subjective and completely in the eye of the beholder - Just because you think someone is beautiful or ugly, doesn't mean he/she is...it's just your opinion.
When I'm with someone, I really couldn't care less what other people see or don't see in them...I only care what I feel/see when I'm with them. How boring would life be if everyone was the same?!

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

While I appreciate that make-up can make your skin look smoother I don't see the attraction of the "panda eye" look - all the women in that link have huge black rings around their eyes which I don't find in any way attractive and I don't see why men would either.

That link would be more appropriately titled 'The power of enough makeup to snap your neck from the weight of it + soft lighting + a bit of photoshop.'

Very true, I am partial to a bit of eyeshadow but can never figure out what's the deal with the smoky eyes phenomenon - why go out of your way to look as scary as a witch??

As for the OP, it's all down to chemistry isn't it, looks are only part of the whole package.

I kind of agree. Most of the women in that link don't look 'better;' they just look different. Virtually all of them look nice/OK without the make-up on, (only the first one actually looks 'better.'

And nobody needs the amount of make-up those women have on. I am around 50, and have never in my entire life worn HALF the make-up that those women have on.

Unfortunately you have been unable to use lateral thinking, or indeed any type of thinking to arrive at this conclusion.
The lady is attractive, the guy is quite ordinary - what on earth does that matter?
They are probably attracted to each other because of far more important things than looks or money.
They find each other interesting, they can talk to each other on the same level, they appreciate that they both care for each other, and most importantly respect each other for what they both are.
