What do you think is more common, a pretty girl with an unattractive guy or a good-looking guy with an unattractive girl?

[ManOnFire]

Just so we don't get the spam responses "ugly/pretty is subjective," I'm talking about someone we can clearly see is unattractive out of the norm.

So, what do you think is more common?

Pretty girl with ugly guy

Good-looking guy with ugly girl

[Chazmatazz269]

In this day and age, you’re way more likely to see a man hitched well above his league. The simple fact is modern women are no less likely to value a man’s wealth than a woman from a century ago.


The only way you see a man hitching down according to physical beauty is if the woman actually respects a man and invests time and energy into his peace of mind, his happiness, and creating a comfortable and loving home for him and his children. That is an impossibly rare combination of qualities in modern women. There’s no other reason for a man to risk producing ugly children. Only a complete moron would accept that gamble.


People are going to be offended by this truth of evolutionary biology, but there’s zero evidence to the contrary. The unspoken contract between males and females of the human species has always been women provide a safe and loving home for men’s children and men provide resources for all. If you’re not cute, you need to get better at the more productive side of the bargain. Get over it.

[ManOnFire]

It's so odd to me. I feel like women pick and choose when an ugly guy is going to be good for her. Women are 5 times more visual than men, in all aspects, from physical appearance to social optics. They care about looks to a very great degree, not only in themselves but also other women and men.

The only time I see a woman with an unattractive guy is if he has a lot of money or he's some kind of street type they think is masculine and dominant. Otherwise they don't want him if he is just an overall great guy.

I feel like I've seen more guys with unattractive or even very overweight women than vice versa, and especially if it's just about sex.

[Chazmatazz269]

Evolutionary biology explains all of it. Women have always had to be more attractive than their competition in order to secure the highest value males. They had to perceive the highest value males in order to know which advances to respond to and which to reject in order to maintain an air of chastity while being fully available.
It is simply WAY easier to be a good wife and mother in order for a woman to attract and keep a man above her station than it is for a man to be the wealthiest man in a woman’s life in order to attract and keep her.
Men are also less likely to accept an ugly woman with kids after she proved herself unfaithful. Women chase after the same gigachads all the time, even when they know he’s a philanderer. Add the same money or more than their current shmoe has and it’s all but guaranteed she dumps a 4 for a 6.
It’s not odd at all. This is how it’s been for ages. Women’s lib and “no fault” divorce only made it possible to document what we’ve always known.

[Purpleronnie]

I think I see more of the ugly guy with the pretty woman because that tends to catch my eye more as a heterosexual male. Also I think I lean towards the belief that women gravitate towards guys that have qualities other than being considered objectively attractive. For example the way a man is dressed , how he holds himself , charisma , charm or ‘rizz’ their ‘Bad boy’ persona or attitude , confidence , humor. All of these things and more make guys more attractive than they are objectively ‘pretty’

[Anonymous]

Pretty girl with an unattractive guy. As someone who was always questioned why I was dating someone they considered unattractive, I didn’t think he was but people always used to tell me, I can confirm we care so much more about if a guy can make us laugh and has a good personality. If it’s someone I will be living with for the rest of my life then they should at least know how to make me laugh. We will go through hard times together and we won’t be miserable. I will 100% pick someone who’s not attractive but funny over the guy everyone considers handsome but is boring.

[ManOnFire]

It's so odd. I very rarely see a good looking woman with an ugly guy. Or at least, in my neck of the woods it is far more common for women to care about looks in a man than vice versa.

[Opinion Owner]

It might just be that I’m extremely codependent and get really anxious when I’m alone, so once I meet someone that shows a lot of interest maybe is even obsessed I fall hard because I fear abandonment haha I think it’s just a me problem. But I think this could be the case for many people that end up with “not so attractive” partners.

[ManOnFire]

Hm. Interesting. I think I'm a different kind of dude. I have dated both pretty and ugly girls. The pretty ones tend to be very into themselves and the ugly ones are more down to earth.

But I think it’s good that you look at personality. Everybody has to have someone.

[Opinion Owner]

I agree, that's good that you are also someone that doesn't really care about looks too much! Personally I also find men that have a pretty boy aesthetic kind of a turn off too haha I like manly men, so I guess you can say I'm picky, haha I would be kind of envious if my partner had better looking skin than me. He would unknowingly be my arch nemesis. 😂

[alice55]

Franckly from what I noticed where I personally live there's many more attractive guy with ugly / average girls than the reverse, could be because the pretty are either not interested in dating, stuck in situationship or as the other woman (the amount of time I saw this) or prefer sleeping around.

The amount of attractive guys I saw with fat girl who have average face or just plain woman is crazy but I'm from the deep countryside so it could be why in the city the woman is usually more attractive

[ManOnFire]

Everything you say is everything I see in my own area, yes.

[HawkPerception]

Personally, I think it's about even for me. I've seen some guys where I'm like "How the hell did they pull that off?"

And I've seen some guys where I'm like "Damn their self esteem must be low as hell."

[DishLady]

A gorgeous gal with an unattractive guy (or more likely a plain-looking guy).

[WhitneySnow]

I agree with that. But not likely with those few people unfortunate enough to be truly unattractive.

[ManOnFire]

@DishLady I do notice that women who are into badasses will hold on to those guys even if they're unattractive. They think he's manly because of his badass-ism.

[beefcakebradybatson]

The ugly chap is usually loaded.(And I don't men with personality !!!)

[Finchie40]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder , so if someone doesn’t look attractive to you , it doesn’t mean everyone else is going to agree

[AviatorTom]

A pretty girl can get any guy she wants, much easier than a handsome guy getting the girl he wants.

[beefcakebradybatson]

LOTS of handsome dudes, including Yours Truly, are extremely shy around the ladies.(One of my soon-to-be-28-year-old great-nephews is also very shy as well as very handsome.)

[Joshydavid25]

Definitely the former.. Women care about looks, but ultimately they care more about how you make them feel.. Money, looks, and status only attract certain types of women.. The normal woman will like you if you just show a good amount of masculinity while seeming like you have some sort of mission on life..

Us guys are simple.. Look nice and be nice.. We're too visual.. But you'll have that rare guy that saw something in a woman and wanted to get with her, or maybe he's not secure and doesn't realize that he's attractive and so goes for the first woman that showed him some love.

[bobalife]

From where I live.. I’ve seen a lot more good looking men with avg or below avg women. It made me wonder if more men goes for the avg or below avg women in committed relationships. But I also see a lot of beautiful couples as well. I do see the occasional beautiful women with avg or below avg men at times, but as much lol.

[ManOnFire]

Same. Plus many men have cheated on their "beautiful" wives and girlfriends with plain or ugly women just because the sex was good.

[PeachyPie93]

I think people may date down a little but no way would an actually ugly person like that top guy get a pretty chick even with money.. She is most likely doing a meet and greet with her onlyfans supporters LOL The bottom two are pretty mid in looks, just she is fat. So really people generally stay with in their league by a point or two tho weight doesn't always factor into that..

[ManOnFire]

Money buys women. Yes, they do date ugly men if they have lots of money.

[PeachyPie93]

Lmao nah not that ugly.. He maybe able to get a young skinny chick but not one who's actually pretty...
Plus if that guy had money he could afford to fix his teeth and fix himself up, to not look that bad, so highly unlikely.

[avery58]

The first one. Just look at the guys some women like Adriana Lima or Monica Bellucci have dated.

Or look at the women Marc Anthony has married. Former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, Jennifer Lopez, Venezuelan model Shannon de Lima.

And his current wife, former beauty queen (1st runner up Miss Universe) Nadia Ferreira

[ManOnFire]

To me personally none of those women are very special looking. And J Lo has never been hot to me.

[avery58]

Not even Adriana and Monica?

[ManOnFire]

In the early 2000s I used to think Adriana was hot but got over her. Monica Bellucci was kind of my thing for a minute back then too. I think Latinas with strong native American features and bronze skin are 10x more beautiful than those other ones (yes, I know Monica is Italian).

[blackeagle007]

Are you crazy? I wonder about you

[avery58]

@blackeagle007 Lol who the fuck are you? I never even noticed you before 🤷‍♀️

[blackeagle007]

That reply was for man on fire. Didn’t you see that?

[blackeagle007]

That first picture is a fake. No girl that hot would date a guy looking like that. Sorry but women are the same as men in terms of attraction

[avery58]

@blackeagle007 no it didn't tag a user and as it was under my comment I thought it was directed towards me and insulting me. Sorry about that

[avery58]

*so I thought it was directed towards me

[blackeagle007]

I was saying he’s crazy cause he didn’t find any if the ladies you mention attractive

[avery58]

@blackeagle007 actually you can search if you wanna make sure. They're married and she actually looks just as beautiful in motion and without makeup from what I've seen

[blackeagle007]

I agree she is beautiful. Can only assume that guy is rich as hell

[avery58]

@blackeagle007 more like a superstar in the Latin community and one of the best Salsa singers which I guess is why girls like him so much

[ManOnFire]

@blackeagle007 What is to wonder about? I don't find those women particularly special.

[Asad1ONE1]

Or maybe they actually do find him physically attractive?
🤡

[avery58]

@Asad1ONE1 We can't speak for them either way, now can we? But most people don't find him attractive, that's just an almost universal opinion 🙃

[DeGoma]

I think you see more conventionally attractive women with plainer looking men. And that’s because what a lot of women find attractive isn’t purely based on physical appearanace, whereas it typically is more so for a lot of men.


This doesn’t hold true to everyone obviously and it will work both ways for both sexes. But just generally speaking.

[Asad1ONE1]

It’s not “generally” true either. Physical attraction is likely just as important to women. A lot of women probably have to settle with who approaches because the guys they actually find attractive don’t approach.

[Zack-Bann]

Many men undervalue themselves and get with the first girl that says yes


Women typically date ugly guys when they’re rich or ridiculously funny


I think there are fewer rich and funny men than there are insecure ones


Meaning the most common is attractive man with ugly girl

[Fireguy17]

Looks are not everything.
Over the years I have found that I actually have to like the person that I am with.
Women tend to be less shallow than men, and looks are not that important to them.
Who they are, how they are treated, etc. are more important.
That said there does seem to be a certain segment of the population that looks seem to be the most important thing to them.

[ManOnFire]

Really? I think women actually care about looks much more than men do.

[Fireguy17]

My wife is hot, but she chose me.
Pretty much a beat up scared up used hard and put away wet hard working guy.
Before her I've also been other women that must have seen something in me that I'm missing.
Im a 5 on a good day.
I think it changes as we get older.
That is why I added that there is a certain group, younger females that looks do seem important.

[Speaking_Frankly]

Considering that dating app statistics show the minority of men have the majority of women's interest and the majority of men compete for the minority, I would imagine men are more likely to get with the less attractive woman because of more limited options.

[HighValue]

Unattractive woman with average or better looking man is more common. If women weren't almost always hiding their average and below average looks, you would notice it much more often. MANY women are not attractive, that's why they feel like they have to wear makeup when they go out in public.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

To be honest I always saw more attractive women with fug ass ugly guys rather than the other way around.

[scott04sa22]

Unattractive people dating attractive people because unattractive people have money. Then the relationship is a transaction relationship. Transaction relationships don't focus on people's shared core values and it's lacking trust. If you're in a transactional relationship then your boat is sinking 🚢 and the transaction relationship dynamics are unhealthy 🤮 and soon to be doomed 💀

[Apple1996]

So much more common to see beautiful women with ugly men. Most likely because beautiful women are everywhere but attractive men are extremely rare so its just a numbers thing

[Asad1ONE1]

I think very attractive women are also very rare. Makeup and enhancements are so common among women it’s a turn off.

[Apple1996]

@Asad1ONE1 makeup doesn't make that big of a difference in my opinion. Im never shocked when a woman who regularly wears makeup takes it off. They look the same if not they look better when it comes off. I say this as a non make up wearing woman lol

[mysteriousNicholas]

I voted A and it's also been my life experience this far - no complaints from me, they're lucky guys I guess to have those women on their shoulder each

[ManOnFire]

Maybe.

[worldscolide]

My wife is a bombshell.. An easy 10 out of 10 in my opinion. No idea what the fuck she sees in me, but she definitely loves me. I on the other hand am at best a 5 or maybe less. So I gotta go with ugly guy, pretty girl.

[Anonymous]

I have seen so many men with athletic bodies, normal faces and career status being succesful, lawyer, doctor, engineer etch, dating ugly/fat women.


Only few cases ever in my life have I confronted a man with a minimum wage job date someone earning 5+ thousand dollars a month, looking like a social reject!


Point is, women dont down grade. They go for the best of the best they can get, especially the above avarage hot ones!

[molonski2]

Who is making the decisions on another's looks? Life just does not work the way the question implies , beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[Unycorn]

I don't find any of the people on the pics pretty - every one finds another type pretty. So it is subjective and nothing real.

[DrPepper12]

All women are attractive. Not all guys are.

[Chthou95]

Simpiest take on here so far

[ManOnFire]

@Chthou95 Lmfao. Well I hope @DrPepper12 is joking?

[DrPepper12]

No joke. There is something or quality that is aesthetically pleasing about all women. Men, not so much...

[Chthou95]

Not all women are beautiful. There are women who are really ugly

[blackeagle007]

@Chthou95 any woman has no problem attracting men. I don’t care what they look like, they always get the guy. We have to work very hard

[Chthou95]

@blackeagle007 That still doesn't mean some of them aren't ugly.

[msc545]

A pretty girl with an unattractive but RICH guy.

[WindAtMyBack]

The math nerd part of me thinks it's not possible for one to be more common than the other.

[Anonymous]

You know why things like that happen? :P

[ManOnFire]

Right lol

[itsannalee]

Believe me…
Women always think their partners are attractive until they become an ex.

[Asad1ONE1]

True. Too many misandrists in this thread.

[exitseven]

Pretty girl with an unattractive guy. The guy could be rich or maybe it is some drug thing.

[ManOnFire]

Yeah true

[Bubbles934]

The bottom pic the girl is not unattractive she’s just over weight the guy is nothing special

[ManOnFire]

I can tell that even if she were slimmer she would still not be very special looking. He isn't either but he still looks better than she does.

[mrshooiser]

Most woman will date an ugly guy for money. And men just want a hot woman even if that means buying her. Lol

[Cidknee]

While I've seen both (pissed me off) ugly guy with a smoke stack is more common. But I think there are more ugly guys percentage wise than ugly girls.

[LiamJHayden]

Relationship: Chopped guy with pretty girl.
Hit it and quit it: Good-looking guy with mid woman.

[beefcakebradybatson]

The first, because most women aren't hung up on men's looks they way we lads are on ladies' physical appearance

[Anonymous]

I see a lot of cute girls with not too cute older guys. Probably cause the guy has s nice car or mobey

[Opinion Owner]

Money *

[Chthou95]

When people say that they see ugly men with attractive women, are those men really ugly or just average looking guys?

[ManOnFire]

Good point.

[UgNegroMoe]

Good looking guy with unattractive girl is becoming more and more common

[ManOnFire]

I think that is mostly common with black men - and I too am black, but not into ugly women. A lot of black men often do go after ugly caucasian women, that is very common.

[WhitneySnow]

Neither is very common

[ManOnFire]

Of course. But which one of these uncommon situations is still more common?

[WhitneySnow]

Hot girl with average looking guy

[Keviaha]

Woman are better looking than men in general.

[ManOnFire]

Most women believe they're more attractive than they really are.

[Asad1ONE1]

@ManOnFire This. I’ve heard more women than men overestimate their level of attractiveness. It’s due to conditioning. But I’m now sure how accurate that study is.

[ManOnFire]

@Asad1ONE1 Women are taught to see themselves as both beautiful and as sex objects, even if they claim that annoys them. A woman’s self-worth is almost entirely made up of how she will look to a man and if she is sexually desirable.

[Sal_Monella]

Depends in part on his wallet.

[MannMitAntworten]

I see both a lot so I feel it is an even split.

[Anonymous]

Now you know 🙄😭😭😭

[WhiteBoyChill]

Pretty girl ugly guy because $$$

[Bklynbadboy12]
