Would a man ever marry a woman who was a 1 out of 10 attractive to most men? Could a guy ever be madly in love with her, or just friendly love?

Well, I've got a cousin who, in high school, used to date some really cute chicks, but, eventually, he fell in love and married a girl that I probably wouldn't have at twice.
My uncle was married to a blonde bombshell but, after 7 kids, divorced her (she wasted TONS of his money!) and married a short, ugly asshole with a mouth like a truckdriver, no filter at all, a voice that could peel paint and who drank like a fish! They had 2 more kids. After he died about 30 years ago, none of ever heard from her, again.

[Vegasrunner]

Proably, not marry. Guys tend to date down, but it's tough to committ to a 1

[OlderAndWiser]

From 2015 to 2017, I dated a woman who I met on a dating site. When I met her for our first date (dinner and drinks,) I did not yet know anything about her history. We had led remarkably parallel lives. She graduated from law school a few years before me and got a job working on the state legislature in Tallahassee.

When I went to law school in Tallahassee, I got a two year job working in the Capitol, just two offices away from her, but we never met. Not once. . . but we had at least a hundred friends and acquaintances in common. She later got a job in my hometown, and for many years served as a judge, where I practiced as an attorney, but I never met her.

When I met her, I thought she was very cute, petite, well-proportioned, friendly, intelligent, articulate. I had some idea that other guys would not find her attractive in a conventional sense, but it didn't matter to me. I fell in love with her and we dated for two years. We spent most weekends together, and we enjoyed our time together. For me, she was arousing and I enjoyed our physical relationship, but. . . she never fell in love with me. She loved having a boyfriend when it was convenient for her, but that was not enough for me and I broke up with her.

About three months after our breakup, I had some documents that I needed to give her, and we decided to have dinner together. After dinner, I walked her to her car, gave her a goodbye kiss, and I knew I would never see her again. And as I drove away, I thought that I didn't remember her being quite so unattractive, and I wondered why I had been drawn to her initially.

Perception is a crazy thing

[OlderAndWiser]

@SnowyOwl There is no reality.

[SnowyOwl]

But there is, even if we can only see it through lenses 🥲
The natural world is independent of our lenses.. that why we should ground ourselves as often as we can

[ohsheeT]

Isn't that what loves all about just finding that one person and nothing else matters I'm sure it's happened many times

And who knows that relationship could last forever unconditional love true love

[AviatorTom]

It's possible but not very likely. Men are visual creatures, and looks are important. A woman doesn't need to be a world class model, but must be attractive to him.

[Finchie40]

I highly doubt it , most men only marry someone he is attracted to , if he isn’t that attracted to her , I doubt he would marry her

[Crimsyjo]

If he thinks she is a 1 out of 10 then either no... or he is also a 1 out of ten. There is a couple l know that it is hard to imagine there is physical attraction. I could be wrong of course. Both have mental illnesses and disabilities. The woman is short and obese with big round glasses and looks like a child despite not being so. She is nice lady but not bright. Her husband looks like her grandpa, balding with grey strands, glasses, bent frame. Also low IQ. I'm not saying any of this disrespectfully just factually. They are very kind. Although like most married couples they seem to grumble about eachother and have their spats. They have dogs they adore. They seem happy tho and depend on eachother. I cannot see how they cannot love eachother even if for the familiarity, comfort and companionship. Is that friendly love rather than madly love? 🤷‍♀️ who knows. But when they are cuddled up on the sofa watching tv I bet there are a large number of 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9's sitting home alone still...

[MrPiercedD]

Being a 1 out of 10 it doesn't mean that she is a 1 for everyone. "Plastic girls" tend to get lower ratings vs natural girls. I would always choose a girl after few plastic surgeries over natural one. Yes, you may have huge natural boobs, but I would still ask you to go for breast augmentation (natural big boobs tend to be saggy, fake ones are nice and firm).

I do believe that any girl who was is a 1 can be redressed, her style changed, sometimes some plastic surgeries can be done, and some more and as the result she would be 11. But some work (sometimes a lot of it) will need to be done.

So, the girl is only a 1 because she wants to be (for some reasons) a 1. She doesn't want to improve herself. She is just looking to find excuses that she is "1" and to cry over herself.

Change your attitude and way of thinking and you become solid 10.

[Holsen]

Well the world bas a unique way of functioning but basically on avarage everyone finds a match for him/her so even in that context someone would marry or be deeply in love with her because for example in the previous generations not always beauty was a key point in selecting someone and the beauty standard have taken a huge increase over the last years so there are many past or current examples in our grandparents and great grandparents genrations in which they shared a deep bond no matter of the looks

[Goahead76]

I think so, absolutely. The context matters though, and often it's the circumstances that bring people together. I mean look at photographs of people from the 1800's up through the 1940's & 50's. There were a lot of people who by today's standards weren't real attractive or looked much older for their age. People who worked hard, had rough lives, raised a family, and the marriage rate was vastly higher than today. Clearly attractiveness just wasn't as important to their happiness, it was found more in working together and in their children.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Looks aren’t everything as they say & if you find that special wonderful someone who finds their way to your heart that is all that matters even if she is a 1 out of 10. As for me in the dating world I’ve dated some real knockouts & how I pulled it off I have no clue. As for some of those knockouts they may have had the looks but their personalities were dog shit & after that I learned that 10’s aren’t everything.

[sage2021]

I have said this numerous times here that unattractive people marry other unattractive people and they are very happy.
They are a whole lot happier than good looking couples.
And because they weren't out partying all the other spent their time reading books and getting smart, went to college, got their degree and some got a couple of a few degrees - ended up working in very high paying jobs.

[desidoll]

I have never really seen anyone who is 1/10 lol but assuming you mean very unattractive, I’d say men would. I don’t think the outcome would be good though. At first he might think that her great personlity could compensate but he would be miserable eventually knowing nobody really finds his partner attractive except him.

[David5668]

In my humble opinion, he’d be the better ambassador for the male species, as he would be marrying for love and reality, not his own narcissistic vanity.

[phraseology]

People get in where they fit in. If the woman is a 1 out of 10 in the looks department, she's going to have to be shooting for an ugly unmanly looking man... They have to accept their position in life and make something work on personality.

[godfatherfan]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A 1 to one person, man or woman, is a 10 to someone else. Guys are very visual. We have to be attracted to the woman to be interested. So if he is interested, she is not a 1.

[tzdc21]

He could. See guys don't base a woman's physical attraction on other guy's perspectives, just our own most of the time. If my guy friends found some girl ugly, and I found her a attractive, then I would be willing to date her anyways.

[katiesmuff]

Absolutely and in most successful marriages that love which caused him to propose had little to nothing to do with her outer looks, but her inner being, her heart.

[Cutea]

We all have our own opinions. Maybe you are 1 of 10 but to some. But for someone else you may be a 10. Looks, manners, your value is perceived differently by different people

[GOLDFISH_smile]

If MOST men consider her a 1 but HE considers her higher, sure. If he also considers her a 1 then I hope he wouldn't marry her, because that won't be a good marriage.

[itsannalee]

Men won’t choose an ugly woman if they can get the beauty one.

[Snowbunnyalex]

Men are more visual and less likely to marry strictly on friendship than a woman.
there has to be attraction there for a man to actually fall in love.

[Nikki1989]

A one could be a ten to someone else.

[Shihab_91]

Agreed

[Anonymous]

One out of 10 attractiveness I would not even try honestly there was one girl who was so much into me, but I’m sorry she was ugly as fuck but as a friend she was awesome. I loved her character, but I could never get attracted to. It sounds harsh, but life is harsh. Hahahaha

[overlord337645]

there is a woman for everyone mabie she is not for me but surely someone will find her attractive even if nothing comes of it

[ClassicDropout]

Nah if he thinks you're a 1 out of 10, it's cooked. Even if you had hella money, it wouldn't be worth a marriage.

[Miristheiss]

1... that is ugly, physically unattractive. I would have had to have some attraction.

5-6 but not 1.

[Kelley1]

1s are so ugly and horrible that even other 1s reject them.

[Tomisworthless]

Probably, much more likely than if the genders were reversed. Love also isn't real its conditional and transactional. Only God can love us sincerely, everyone else will just betray you, cheat on you, leave you, use you etc.

[LiamJHayden]

As long as she is not an obese couch potato, looks are pretty irrelevant to me. And the obesity is not about looks, it is about my lifestyle being too active for that to work.

[expfireworks]

It think it depends on the nature of hair that suit well as short or long...

[nawtee_me]

I would say yes since beauty is in the eye of the beholder unless you listen to social media. If you are your own person and do what your hearts desires then yes...

[Makeushiver]

I don't think I'd base my decision on a ranking system made up in this site.

[Nerdvana]

I would. I find other things way more attractive on a woman, than physical appearance. Is there someone available?

[Anonymous]

Attractiveness is subjective and there is a guy out there who will think she is really pretty. I hope she finds him.

[shades777]

That's most certainly a no. A 1 to a man is most likely hideous like a 300lb woman, or a woman with chest hair, who's very hairy.

[clampfan101]

What most/any other men think isn’t important. It’s about potentially me and her.

[msc545]

Love knows no bounds, including appearance. The heart wants what it wants. Forget appearance.

[foxsquirrell]

Well maybe if he is 1 or 2 out of 10 attractive he might be madly in love with her.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yes, if she were INSANELY rich and I didn't have to brand her !!!

[justabuddy]

So... looks change as you get to know someone. She could easily change into a five. Lose some weight and maybe go higher on the scale yet.

[JamesRandiDebates]

If her sex game is good, and she happily cooks and cleans.. sure!

[Anonymous]

Why would a guy marry a woman he considered a 1? That doesn't even make sense.

[art84]

Beauty is the eye of the beholder.

[Jennz6]

Depends on the guy

[Crazzyyworld]

Sadly sex=love for men

[dudeinohio]

Sure

[In_Trance]

Sure

[TallAnon]

Not me
