Good looking women with average looking men - how?

  • It's pretty simple really, many women wear make up/ doll themselves up and look great, in reality they are pretty normal looking.

    Most men don't doll themselves up and look pretty normal.

    There are very few naturally stunning women, some goes for men. I imagine many couples are the same level of beauty when the girl isn't wearing make up.

    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
  • Ive seen it the other way round in my job. Good looking men with not so very good looking partners, wives or girlfriends. My son said its nothing about how good looking or ugly they are if they have a family its the CSA that's keeping them together. How cynical... but possibly true..

    I love all of these post suggesting that women aren't shallow, and they're looking for personality over looks. In my experience, if you have an unattractive bloke with a stunning women then it generally only means one thing - that the bloke has got money. Not being cynical, but there's a reason you see so many rough looking older blokes with attractive young Eastern European/Oriental 'girlfriends', and it's not because they fell in love their personalities.

    I'm quite offended by the suggestion I'd just be with an average-looking guy for his money, I'd be interested to know if those comments were made by men? I'm sure some women are like that but I don't think you can emphasise enough how attractive humour is in a man.

    So those of us who say looks aren't a priority, we're actually lying?

    Thing is, looks are useless really, and they don't last. If your relationship is based on how you look its essentially based on nothing.

    Sorry, but thats ridiculous. Are people really suggesting if someone is good looking they cant fall in love with someone not as good looking and if they do its because they are after someones money

    Of course you'll get people motivated by money, but thats both sexes, not just women.

    And many people who have these Eastern European gfs have advertised looking for a gf, thats a bit different to two people meeting down the pub and one person being better looking than the other.

    Do people really have to go through life with people who are of exactly the same level of attractiveness as themselves to avoid being accused of being after someones money if that person has cash?

    Also, there are people I know who married 20 plus years ago and one of the couple is wearing a lot better than the other. Looks fade for some people, its not always whats skin deep that keeps people together, its the fact that they love one another.
  • This is truly ridiculous :rotfl:

    Actually, you're probably right, because for me (and a lot of women I know), a sense of humour and someone who is witty and intelligent goes a long way. That in its self is attractive.
  • In answer to the OP, it could be money, it could be that he's got an amazing sense of humour (see above post) or, here's a really radical idea, it might, just might actually be because they love them....
