Dating someone who is less attractive than you?

Anonymous

(18-24)

I'm just curious. I know what's most important is what's inside but still, looks count, I guess?

Guys, if your girl is very pretty, but you're just okay. Would you feel insecure?

Girls, if you were the less attractive one, would you feel insecure?

Also, do you think family and friends can make you dump someone only because of their looks?

I kind of find "less attractive" funny because attraction is often viewed very differently between men and women, so what makes him "less attractive"? And how is that possible when it's the opposite sex? lol But I get what you're saying I think (?), I don't think I'm considered "attractive" by most, but like I say, because attractiveness is often viewed very differently between genders, I don't really worry about it. I might wonder what she sees in me, or what attracts her, but I know if she's not, she's probably not going to stick around so not so much "insecure" per say. Although we all can feel that and have moments, at any time.

I try not to, but not for the reason you would expect.
When I have dated guys who are much less attractive than me in the past (2 years apart), they have both acted erratic and controlling. When I have ended things with them, they BOTH ended up engaging in stalking behavior. I think the attractiveness gap made them super insecure.
When I have dated guys who were more attractive than me, they never acted this way. They would lean more towards the disinterested side- giving me the space I need. They also wouldn't stalk me if I left them-just have rebound sex. I am more disposable to them, which makes me feel safer.
