i've been seeing this pairing a lot lately. any reason as to why fine guys are starting to date girls that aren't that cute? I always thought a really good looking guy could damn near get any girl he wanted so why would he date an ugly girl? well maybe not "ugly" as in hideous but he's a 10 and she's like a 4, he could do so much better so why is he with her?

you hear all the time that men are visual creatures. men even say it themselves. most guys want beautiful women and don't have much regard for unattractive women...so why would a good looking guy date down? is it REALLY for personality or do you think these girls have low self esteem and feel lucky to date guys like this so they are doing really nasty sexual things or maybe giving him money (sugar mama)?

what is it? is it REALLY because of personality reasons or something more sinister?

Ohhhh girl I know! It is like a trend lately, ugly fat girls and sexy guys. I assume it's just like they are easier targets because they will get with anyone, and they will have sex sooner than pretty classy girls.

    You have a lot of personality hun to ask this question. And I agree with you...those ugly fat bitches are just busting it wide open which makes them attractive to guys who are 10s. Pretty girls don't just f*** at the drop of a dime like ugly girls who probably have low self esteem

    nice personality wins out over looks every time. But initial attraction is solely based on looks. No matter how great your personality, a girl won't meet a decent guy unless she's got the goods.

    Because some guys aren't shallow and actually value a woman for her personality.
    So maybe you should stop being so shallow and insulting to other people, and you might become more attractive...

    I've been attracted to women who aren't as attractive as I am... I like very rare personality traits and for some reason the more attractive women tend not to exhibit them. They also tend to be more appreciative of you as well because they feel really accomplished getting a guy like you. I've liked women of various levels of physical attractiveness. I am being completely honost with this as well so eff off if you think I'm BSing you.

      Modesty, humility.. things like that. They also don't consider you an accessory. Girls that aren't as attractive usually have a much better sense of humor and I love a girl that can make me laugh. I also love intelligent conversation. Obviously attractive girls can show these traits as well. I just like very unique personalities and not people that follow some clique.

    Seriously, it has a lot to do with personality, a hot girl or pretty girl that is a bitch or thinks to highly of herself becomes ugly to me. If on the other hand she is not self obsorbed, friendly, carries a little extra weight or not as pretty,well, her personality may win her over a lot of guys.

    Oh, and yeah, girls that are all that tend to be high maintence, a lot of guys get tired of that. A smart guy in the end will realize that looks fade and it is what is inside that matters.

    I have to be honest. One of the biggest things a girl needs to be to keep my interest is to be secure in who she is. I would rather date a less attractive girl who was comfortable with it and didn't obsess over her looks than a hot girl who did. Whenever anyone obsesses over their looks to me it seems like insecurities that will manifest themselves in ways that will introduce a lot of unwanted drama into our relationship.

    In other words, even more important than looks are:

    She must be LAID BACK, DRAMA FREE, and MENTALLY STABLE. And when she obsesses over losing 5 lbs, or tanning, or stuff like that, then I would highly doubt she was those things.

      Looks are only the sales pitch. But depending on the circumstances of the meeting, you may not need a sales pitch. I've known lots of unattractive girls who I grew to like after regular exposure because their personality reeled me in due to their intelligence and the fact that they're pleasant, friendly people who are, above all, laid back and drama-free.

      Rich people only associate with other rich people? Really? That's news to me considering I know rich people. Homeless shelter? No, but they do hang out with people who are out on their own enjoying life. Hot people don't only associate with hot people. And what's in it for them is the company of someone who is intelligent and a pleasure to talk to and spend time with. That doesn't require looks.
    • Over a year ago
      I mean think about it like this... rich people tend to associate with other rich people right? You don't usually see rich people hanging out at the homeless shelter do you? NO, unless of course they are doing charity work, and its the same with hot people, hot people don't hang out with ugly people unless its something in it for them.. like sex or money or ego booster

      Actually I DON'T have any growing up to do thanks. And excuse me but I didn't say that personality doesn't matter but if you look like crap then why would anyone pay you any attention?

If they are not slightly attractive then what's the point (if I am looking to date someone).

I mean go look at the girls in the new Plus Sized edition of Vogue they are absolutely stunning.. but the point is that there are girls who are not only fat but UGLY who are dating guys who are hot.. like come on.. you have to stay in your category as far as looks, if your are a 2 don't expect to date a 10. And if you are a 10 you shouldn't be looking below a 7

      This morning a woman walked into my work who was overweight but attractive. She could definitely stand to lose about 30-35 lbs. But she had a pretty face and, more than that, when she spoke, she came off as intelligent, secure, friendly, and an overall pleasant person to be around. That would definitely have been enough for me to try to chat her up if I wasn't at work.

    I am not sure how many questions you are asking here...and any answer I give will get me in trouble...but I am already in trouble this morning...I even have Selfishstars after me...guys will go after the less attractive girls very frequently...some attractive girls have big heads which can ruin their personality..but a lot of times the males are just intimidated and feel more comfortable and confident...(isn't that what all you females say you want? confident) asking choice #2 or even 3 or 4 out instead of choice #1. As far as "fat/less attractive" as you put it...all depends on the male..remember: beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. For me, iwould prefer slender/less attractive over fat/more attractive...but I have a lot of friends that don't agree with that..

    Easier to go for a girl that isn't good looking. The good looking girls know they're good looking and they think beauty gives them some kind of rein to be bitchy, controlling and disgusting in general. I find the quieter ones tend to be nicer or more reserved.

      I understand what you mean but just because someone is considered universally unattractive it doesn't mean that someone isn't attracted to them. I guess if the guy is 'considered more attractive' then he's the bigger man for not caring what people may think.

      are you serious? its just not clicking in for me because I don't get it. that's why they have "maxims hot 100" not maxims best personality 100.

      "All of a sudden"? The only thing that's changed is the ages of the people involved. This isn't "all of a sudden", guys grow up and realize a lot of 'universally accepted hot women' are not worth the effort.

      is personality really enough to overcome bad looks for guys?

    Why do you think that everybody thinks the same way you do? Obviously if he is dating her he likes the way she looks and her personality.You are so stuck up, I highly doubt that any guy will EVER Date you. Chances are if you ever get in any relationship, you will scare him off with your expectations and you digusting personality.

You just sound like a dumb bitch. There's someone out there for EVERYONE. Just because you think the girl is ugly doesn't mean the guy thinks she is.

    I have seen this and usually the partner you might consider a 10 doesn't really think of themselves in those terms. They also are attracted to a look that you may consider a 4 but they do not.

    I do believe all initial dating starts with physical attraction, but what each of us considers attractive runs the gamut. I do understand some of what you are saying but, really, most guys want to be with someone they consider attractive even for one night stands or FWB. In those situations they could really care less about your personality or a lot of other things, but they won't be able to sleep with someone they cannot stand seeing naked.

    Oh, and I disagree that most men want beautiful women. Most men want women they are attracted to. A lot of guys will say that they would sleep with a beautiful woman but would never make her a girlfriend because they either think she would be too high maintenance or that she will eventually move on to another guy that they think could offer her more than they can. Some guys are completely intimidated by "beautiful" women.

    The whole sugar mama thing, thankfully, most guys just don't want to live off a woman. Yes, some guys would be happy to have a woman support them, but most guys derive their self esteem from their work. They may enjoy having a woman they don't have to support but they won't stick with an unattractive woman for money.

    Yeah, God forbid the "ugly girl" actually has a nice, outgoing personality, and that's why he wants her. Where in the world do you get the idea that she must be doing dirty sexual things with him and giving him money? I mean, seriously? That's a mean thing to think. A guy that's a 10 will have a lot of girls after him, if sex and money were all he cared about he could get them without having to get in a relationship with a girl he's not attracted to. There are plenty of hot girls who engage in slutty behavior, no attachment necessary. He clearly likes the girl or he wouldn't be with her, simple as that. He doesn't see it as "dating down". Men do have brains, they recognize other qualities in a girl that they find attractive. You make it seem like visual creature=basic creature, as if they can't see beyond looks. If that were true, it'd be really sad.

    Besides, it shouldn't matter to you anyway. Why would you want to date a guy that would be with a girl only for nasty sex and money? His personality would be sh*t.

      @ lucky in response to ALL this talk about 'universal standards of beauty', I'll have you know that I have ALWAYS looked at the women who were presented as 'universally beautiful' and scratched my head. NEVER got it.

      Stop worrying so much about what other people do. It's perfectly okay for a hot guy to be with a girl who's not as good-looking. People disagree on what a 6 is and what a 7 is, and to be honest, the whole scale thing itself is ridiculous.

      Think as you like, I'm done.
    • Over a year ago
      My standards aren't everyones standards right BUT there are people who you can just look at and know wow they are attractive and its just a common consensus just like there are people who are ugly and it is a common consensus. So 10s should not date under a 7 and the rest I could care less about but don't have ugly people mixing with hot... its not ok
    • Answerer
      Over a year ago
      Believe whatever you want, but know that many people strongly disagree with you, which should really cause you to reevaluate your stance. There's a difference between a 3 and a 6, but between that it varies depending on the person looking. Your standard isn't necessarily someone else's standard.
    • Over a year ago
      You just have to know the scale lol like I can look at someone and know that they are a 3 vs a 4 vs a 5. And Yes I do think that, and to answer your other question yes she does have to be giving something... Pretty girls aren't easy they have confidence and they know they can hold out if they want to, ugly girls just want SOMEONE.. ANYONE and so they will just spread it wide to anyone who shows slight interest.. Its called no self esteem
    • Answerer
      Over a year ago
      Why does she have to be? There are plently of girls who will give hot guys what they want without necessitating that they have to be in a relationship with them. And what constitutes a 3 versus a 4 or a 5? For each guy it's different, and key personality traits give you extra points
      Is this really what's going through your guys' heads when you see a hot guy with a not-so-hot girl? How horrible.It's very rude and mean to make assumptions about people like that, even if you're not saying it aloud
    • Over a year ago
      This is so not the best answer lol.. I mean its nice and everything but lets be honest a guy who is a 10 dating a girl who is a 3... she has to be doing or giving something...

      look I'm sorry I'm not trying to hate on ugly girls but society values beauty in women first and foremost. men value beautiful women..so of course when I see a man going outside of that imma question it because it don't look natural. most guys prefer pretty girls even if they have a few personality flaws to an ugly girl with a heart of gold. I'm not saying looks are EVERYTHING, but will a good personality REALLY make a man see past major physical flaws? I kinda find that hard to believe but okay
