Good looking women with average looking men - how?

Complete and utter BS, my husband doesn't have money beyond our joint income and for years I earned more than him.

Reading between the lines, you are saying you are a stunning woman and your husband is unattractive? :rotfl:

If you had a witty and intelligent woman who was a right laugh, but really not very physically attractive and a blond bimbo blow up doll, the majority of men would go for the blow up doll.

I think a lot of it is down to make-up.

Take the make-up off those 'hot' woman and hide the hair tongs and hairspray and you'll find she is just as average as her average OH.

A good few years ago, I was on a trip to Canada and was staying in a B&B for a few days. The owner of the B&B was very proud that her daughter was a model and showed us her portfolio, which was full of gorgeous photos of this stunning woman. Then her daughter came into the room wearing her bathrobe, hair scraped back, no makeup and thick glasses and she just looked average.

I'm not very physically attractive, so I can't comment, but I've always chosen men based on their personalities, rather than their looks, because usually, they become attractive to me. For example, I think my DH is gorgeous. Would an objective bystander think so based on first impressions? Maybe not.

I used to work in a model agency and would say the average model is not necessarily that beautiful. Many of the models were quite plain with large faces and features as you could basically paint a variety of looks on to that sort of face. You often would not recognise them if you compared their real-life face and their portfolio pics. Supermodels can be quirky and stunning, but normal models need to blend in a bit more.

I genuinely don't get hung up on looks. Even the male celebs I like tend to be men who are interesting, talented or intelligent rather than lookers.

I do wonder whether one of the reason good-looking men are not seen with plain women as much as the other way round is because they are more conscious of their image. I know a couple of guys who like larger ladies, but dated slim ones when they were younger because they knew their mates would be really horrible. I can imagine it would take more courage for a man to introduce an 'ugly' woman to his mates than it would for a woman to introduce an 'ugly' man to her mates.

It could be either of these :

- The power of Wealth. A very rich bloke….
- Celebrities status: Well-known TV presenters, moviestars, athletes/sportsman, politicians
- Masters in seducing women. If he is just anordinary bloke, it might be because he is a pick up artist (PUA) the one who aremastering the theory of seducing women.

Believe it or not, there is an establishedtheory of how to pick up women and this could be learnt and practiced by manyof people.

Here is the description of thePickup artist

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_artist

The master in PUA such as Neil Strauss, Erik von Markovik are have written few books about the art in the game of seducing women. Lok at the above link and read one of their books ...

I feel like I've stepped back into the 1950s and this is a Rock Hudson / Doris Day kind of movie where girls are expected to follow the money to the man...

Have you ever considered that people can just be attracted to each other because they are witty, considerate, intelligent or whatever?

I can't quite believe that a lot of these misogynistic remarks are being made by women.

Women attracted to what they hear, eh? Time to train my lads in compliments!

Handsome is as handsome does - so good manners, courtesy, a judicious amount of charm all go a long way towards intriguing the ladies. Make us laugh & we'll make a point of seeking you out again.

Me, I get a bit weak at the knees for intelligence. If Ian Hislop were ever to come onto the market, I suspect I'd be part of an interested rush...

Women have always judged each other harshly. It's a pity but it happens. It isn't over scarce resources either - looking at most school playgrounds, it can be just for the intellectual exercise.

I've got a very comprehensive mental list of what attributes they should have and what they shouldn't, including a long list of clothing/accessory no-nos, that looks barely come into it. Dating again now would be a nightmare! I can't have been so fussy when I was younger, probably more interested in getting some sex :rotfl:

Looks fade but a good heart keeps you beautiful forever.:)

It sounds silly, but I've never thought of my husband in terms of being more or less good looking...I found him attractive physically when I first met him, and still do, but I guess he isn't conventionally 'handsome' (although he's gorgeous to me!)...I'm certainly no oil painting though, so maybe that's the problem!

What is 'attractive' and what is 'good looking' are probably two different things. My brother, for example, always punches above his weight when it comes to girlfriends and he's always skint. Admittedly, they don't seem to last very long.....hmm, might be a link there.
