MEET the women who find rippling muscles and chiselled good looks a complete turn-off.
Slicking on another layer of lipgloss, Selena Maria slings her bag over her shoulder and struts into the bar.
A sea of dark, handsome heads turn to ogle her. Jaws drop and good-looking men raise their eyebrows or move in to offer her a drink.
But Selena walks on by. She only has eyes for one man. He’s waiting for her in a dark corner. He’s not one of the handsome guys in sharp suits. He’s not even ‘average’.
He’s bald and podgy, with a pock-marked face, and is easily the ugliest man in the room. She sidles into the chair next to him.
‘Hi, gorgeous,’ she purrs. The man’s gargoyle face breaks into a toothless smile.
The good-looking men know they don’t stand a chance.
Selena has dated her fair share of hunks, but has given up on gorgeous guys because they’re dull – both in and out of bed.
‘I can’t imagine anything more boring than classic handsome looks,’ she says. ‘I prefer no teeth, baldness and piercings to model looks. I like celebs such as Adrien Brody and Mackenzie Crook rather than Brad Pitt.
‘Ugly men try harder. They care more about you and treat you like a princess. Good-looking guys are self-obsessed. That’s not attractive.’

This is a dumb joke. A publicity stunt not even worth reading the whole article to determine its motivation.
Ugly men, since they do not get as many dates, are less likely to have an STD, unless the STD is what made them ugly.
Nah, go to the source. They guys aren’t “ugly” per se, they are just not your cookie cutter hunks. The women in the story are all models who are tired of the stupid “hot” guys they are always around due to work, and are really in love with the normal looking guys they fell in love with. It’s the reported making it more weird sounding.
Yeah, I used to date women with less than ideal beauty, because man or woman, thinking you are beautiful makes you a little bit conceited. Then I met my wife, who is totally hot, but doesn’t realize it. That’s the best kind of woman.
“i always knew that if i lived long enough, i’d be back in style.”
rotflmao
that makes two of us.
Sounds like that episode of Seinfeld with Marrisa Tomei.
Let me assure you that no matter how ugly, bad personality, stupid, whatever, there is a woman out there somewhere who will go for it. I knew a guy who was chunky, ugly and jobless who got more dates than any other 3 men I know.
Adrien Brody is HOT!
Whaddayaknow, I’m a 10.
Yes, but Marisa Tomei only comes along when you’re engaged to Susan.
The motto is beauty is only skin deep, or in the eye of the beholder, something like that ;^).
How does the song go...if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife, so for my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you...
perhaps the reverse is true as well.
+ 1, guys.
Too bad it isn’t true.
‘Ugly men try harder. They care more about you and treat you like a princess. Good-looking guys are self-obsessed. That’s not attractive.’’
The opposite side of this particular coin is she has terrible instincts when it comes to men, and is drawn to idiots, no matter how they look.
Just a guess.....
I showed this article to my pretty wife and all she said was “do you like reading things about yourself?”. Kind of upset me, don’t you know?
How beautiful are these women who want to date ugly men ?
Looks don’t matter. It’s all in treating the other person with respect and kindness.
"...Aiding and abetting these erotic adventures is the fact that the fame, power and wealth that these especially brilliant men have received as rewards for their achievements make them very attractive figures to the opposite sex. They may have a face like an angry hippopotamus but, thanks to their high status, they somehow manage to ooze sex appeal, much to the disbelief and dismay of the handsome failures who carry out menial tasks for them.
The great philosopher Bertrand Russell, who for all his undeniable intellectual brilliance could never have bedded a woman on looks alone, was described as suffering from ''galloping satyriasis". He claimed he could not see a sexual partner as sexually attractive for more than a few years, after which he had to make a new conquest.
He had affairs with a long line of women, a few of whom he later married. They included a young secretary, an MP's wife, the daughter of a Chicago surgeon, a researcher, an actress, a suffragette, several teachers, the wife of a Cambridge lecturer and his children's governess.
His private life was described by one biographer as ''a chaos of serious affairs, secret trysts and emotional tightrope acts that constantly threatened... ruinous scandal''. This was risk-taking of the highest order.
......"
Heh.... three of us.
But I went from pimpled pencil-necked skinny geek to balding middle-aged beer-bellied loner without ever coming in style.
Maybe there’s hope after all.
Co-stanza!
Huh... for that matter it explains my Wife... ;-)
Old Abbott and Costello skit:
Costello: When I get married, I'm going to marry an ugly girl
Abbott: Why?
C: If I marry a pretty girl, she might leave me
A: But an ugly girl might leave you too
C: Yeah, but who cares?
The girls and I agree that a guy who takes care of himself, is stable emotionally/financially and is interested in anything more than NASCAR/beer is a catch. :)
>>Looks don’t matter. It’s all in treating the other person with respect and kindness<<
Amen!
When I was young, a dancer and weighed 105, the shallow pretty men all wanted me.
I chose the funny guys, who cared what they looked like. If they made me laugh and didn’t take themselves seriously, I melted.
My hubby is not a pretty boy but is handsome, tall and intelligent, the hot women passed him by too many times. Not me.
Now he is the world’s best Daddy, a fantastic husband and a hard working partner. We joke that we are the perfect couple because neither of us are allergic to work. We are able to build a life because neither is stuck on oneself.
Keep the pretty ones, ugly is in the eye of the beholder and there is more than a cover to a book.
Translation: "There's only room for one big ego in a relationship, and it's going to be mine!!!" ;)
Picky, picky.

LOL!!! That made my day.. alright, I’m outta here..
And he was 'good looking' and the best dancer, used to get compared to actor Michael Callen. He said they wouldn't cheat and treated him nicer.
Alas, his theory didn't work with his 1st wife (below average looks), she was a slut.
LOL!!! At my age......I have to be! ;)
Never, ever compliment an attractive woman on her attractiveness. Never, ever... ie unless you are in a more intimate setting. Compliment her shoes, jewelery, and even her wit/ sense of humor(she will find that surprising because its normally women who compliment men's sense of humor) And then see how interested she gets in you.
LOL! This describes mrs riverdawg as well. When she and I “went public” with our relationship before we got married, jaws dropped all around town. For all you fellow geeks out there, let me add a few words of advice for those first, casual conversations: look her in the eyes (not below the neckline), listen attentively, be courteous, and show respect. If she is unavailable or just not interested, maybe she’ll recommend you to an attractive friend of hers!
blah.
outer beauty is only a reason to say “hi.”
inner beauty is a reason to say “i do.”
I don’t know
Having his own teeth, not asking you to check his BP TId and ambulating on his own is a big plus too!
naj, how did I know you’d show up on this thread? =]
“Translation: “There’s only room for one big ego in a relationship, and it’s going to be mine!!!” ;)”
Bingo. She’s going to have the “leverage”.
As beautiful as the men are rich.
How to spot a rich guy.
Catherine Zeta Jones and Salma Hayek need my phone number?
Same way I knew you’d be here ;)
LOL! thanks for the smile
You'll like him when you meet him. He's funny, loyal, wise, thoughtful, and affectionate. He's close to your age. He's someone you will respect without being intimidated by him. He'll think the world of you.
Let's hope you two meet up soon. =]
I’m at least a 15. [When I wear a bathing suit to the beach, the tide goes out early].
Jimmy Soul: “I saw your wife the other day, and she’s
UUGLY!
Yeah man, she’s ugly, but she sure can
cook!”
“Whaddayaknow, I’m a 10.”
lol I’m an 11 :P
Yet this woman is madly in love with me.
Yet another gal who's awfully demanding.
When I wear a bathing suit to the beach, Greenpeace tries to tow me out to sea.
Sometimes, there’s no ‘splainin’ love. :)
ROFL!!
