Do men have relationships/marry women much less attractive than them ?

[Fifi0]

I saw a male celebrity is dating a woman much more attractive than them. I was wondering have any Mners had LTRs , married men who are much more attractive than them? I don't see many women punching in real life or even many celebrity women.

Oh yeah, someone else made a good point - in general women are more attractive so there just are more of them. I very rarely see an unattractive woman, but au attractive men are everywhere.

Calm down. You’ve clicked on a thread that is specifically about people’s looks. If you are that precious and sensitive maybe this kind of thread isn’t for you.

I don’t think there are more women who are attractive than men, women can just make themselves more attractive with makeup etc and men can’t.

I’m perfectly calm. I’ve contributed to the thread. I’ve also expressed an opinion about rating people out of 10. If you are precious and sensitive people expressing opinions, perhaps the internet isn’t for you.

There’s something deeply irksome about people who tell other people - generally women - to ‘calm down’ when they just mean ‘I disagree with what you’ve said’. Very ‘I don’t like what you’re saying, so you are clearly overwrought and hysterical’.

I agree with the points upthread about ageing and pregnancy often turning the tables and evening things out. I was originally more conventionally attractive than DH, but I’m fairly certain that is no longer the case! 🤣

She's not precious and sensitive. You sound ridiculous saying I'm a 6.5, he's a 7.75, she's a 9.5 etc.

You sound ridiculous when it wasn’t even me that made that comment.

You decided to defend it, tell me to calm down and call me precious and sensitive, however. That’s pretty ridiculous behaviour.

Yes I know I did, I stand by that, your comment was just nasty for no reason. This is a shallow thread, so don’t shame someone for being shallow on it.

And I stand by my (and everyone else’s) responses to you. If you found my comment ‘nasty’ then you are far too precious and sensitive for the internet and need to calm down.

My ex has married a woman much less attractive than him! He is a very handsome man ( and he absolutely knows it) and he is married to someone who looks much older and frumpier than him. They seem happy though, it takes all sorts I suppose!

Do people seriously say that to you? That is so rude!

“Everyone else’s”? Oh you mean the ONE other response 😂

Nah, there’s been two of us so far. So, three people in total currently think you’re being silly and rude.

I must say, you don’t sound very calm. 😊

Oh I’m sorry I didn’t see your reply, I don’t have time to read an entire thread, I have a life. How is standing up for someone rude exactly? I don’t care if people disagree with me but I don’t understand picking on someone for being “shallow” when this entire thread is shallow.

Yes I am calm, maybe it’s because I’m very secure in my looks and relatively young so I don’t think being “rated” out of ten is offensive. Maybe if I was older and less attractive then it would upset me. 😊

I've seen it twice that I can recall in RL.

One conventionally attractive man who married a very overweight and plain women. They've been together donkey's years now. But she's very vivacious and has a great personality so you can see the attraction.

The other example is someone I used to work with who is very, very plain but married to an exceptionally attractive man. But they both lead a very alternative lifestyle and you can see how they gelled.

But agree that whilst you often see ugly men with beautiful women you hardly ever see it vice versa unless of course it's an American film starring that well known plain actress Anne Hathaway as said plain girl with glasses and frizzy hair natch!

Just a handful of times but in all of them the girl was really driven, more intelligent, higher attaining AND another thing they all have in common is they’ve been together since their teens. The other way round, countless times. Also, I do wonder whether it’s cos sometimes men age into their looks. My childhood best mate went out with a fella, think lanky, spotty, geeky. Lots of people said he was punching and my mate was often told by nosy bitches she could ‘do better.’ However, the intervening twenty years have filled him out and turned him into a very nice-looking man, and by her own admission she’s aged into being fairly average (as are most of us tbf!)

From the other perspective, my best mate is really successful at work and while she’s by no means unattractive, she goes out with really properly stunning men, so they’d be like these couples you’d describe. She says she’ll do clever and they can do pretty🤣

Every time I visit Ireland for a wedding I think it's an entire nation of men in boot cut jeans and bad haircuts punching waaaaay above with their female partners!

Nobody used the word shallow except you, so you’re quoting yourself. And you’re now fighting with multiple people on an MN thread about how young, attractive and secure you are.

You’re so precious and sensitive. Calm down. 🤣🤣🤣

I know a few couples like this actually

This is the funniest exchange on this thread. Starts with name calling, gets backed into corner and starts informing people how much younger and hotter she is. As that is clearly both true and relevant.

I love MN.

It's that Scottish singer isn't it

So British, apologizing before ripping into people!

And don't forget what the main character in the film Alfie said. 'Always marry an ugly bird. They are more grateful'
