We can all agree that physical attraction is very important in a relationship. Right?

We can all understand that everyone has their own particular type.

But there are some things that are usually almost universally consider ugly. Like having bad hygiene, having a disfigured face or body, etc.

I have seen people with apperances that are not commonly consider attractive with partners. “Ugly” people also reproduce themselves, so the question is how they do it.

Have you notice any particular pattern?

  1. You are assuming people universally consider them ugly and that’s the problem. If you want to be scarred for life, look up feeders.

  2. Either compensate with being physically unattractive by being attractive in other ways: confidence, super fit, money, charismatic, funny, social, interesting, etc.

    Or date people equally as unattractive as you.

    If you see a physically disfigured person dating a model level person, the chances are they are both of similar attractiveness. The model likely has some bad traits that forced her to date physically “down” and the disfigured person probably has quite a few personality traits or assets (like money) that allowed him to date physically “up”.

  3. Although physical attraction is a part of the equation, there is a lot more to a relationship. If the other elements are there and good, physical attraction can often become a lesser component and matter less.

  4. Not wallowing in self pity and what else might push someone away. Like there’s been women who I have fancied that were not super attractive, but they had personal issues that were just too much for me to put up with for them to even to reach the friendship stage with me.

  5. Typically people match up with others of, more or less, similar appearance ranking unless they have some outstanding attribute (funny, rich, etc.)

    One exception I have noticed is good looking guys who can only be with girls less attractive than they are so they can always feel like the pretty one.

  6. The three big ones are preferences (fetishes are extreme cases), self esteem, and relationships that start when people are younger (my sister had a friend that could’ve been a model, and she’s still with her high school boyfriend that’s at best average looking. But I’m pretty sure the dude had a heart of gold).

    Personality only matters if someone spends enough time with someone for it to matter.

  7. Maybe they have things in common? Or have similar personalities? I agree that physical attraction is important but it isn’t everything. Maybe she makes him laugh or she loves the way he cooks for her. I think it’s a combination of things that make good chemistry, appearance being just one of those things.

  8. Be rich. If no money, then be funny. And then be kind and honest. And never stop going after women outside of your league. My wife is so far above my league people ask her is she’s in danger.

  9. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people may be able to look past what you consider ugly and fall in love with who the person is.

  10. If you’re a man: money.

    Lots of money.

    Suddenly you have an “amazing personality”, when they learn you aren’t in debt, make nearly 6 figures, and are about to buy a house.

    Yeah, no thanks, fair-weather would-be gf. Stop objectifying my wallet. It’s sensitive. 😆

  11. From the information on dating sites in the last 20 years, women prefer money, status and height over looks in men.

  12. They don’t insist on only dating people out of their league. Very rarely will you see a 3 dating a 9-10. And when you do is because they bring a lot more to the table than just their looks. What you mostly see is a couple of 3s together.
