A pretty woman makes her husband look small, and very often causes his downfall.
As soon as he marries her, she starts to do the things that will break his heart.
But if you make an ugly woman your wife - you'll be happy for the rest of your life!
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time and she'll always give you peace of mind.
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife.

Don't let your friends say you have no taste, go ahead and marry anyway.
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match - take it from me, she's a better catch.
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life,
never make a pretty woman your wife!

It's a song. Nothing too deep here.

Is it worth it ?
Well...

...I want someone who is attractive to ME. I don't care if she is the stereotypical attractive type.

...and you're going to have dudes making moves on your GF anyway. It is not necessarily because she is "attractive".

I only want someone who I find attractive. That doesn’t mean that he’ll turn everyone else’s head, but if I find him attractive, surely I won’t be the only one who feels that way. I wouldn’t date a person who I didn’t find attractive just so that I would have less competition from other women.

Find a person who hasn’t let it go to their head and it’s fine. The only time it’s going to become a negative is when someone uses the trait for bargaining and control.

We use to call here type of people “ugly souls”
Beautiful on the outsized, ugly on the inside.

There are types of attractive girls that are a hassle to date due to their attractiveness. Avoid these for anything serious.

These are the girls posting 24/7 to social media, today the platforms to watch out for are instagram and Snapchat, moreso insta. The more revealing things she posts the further the arms reach should be for serious dating considerations. Social media is 90% about attention and validation. If she’s addicted to it, guess what she’s actually addicted to.

Party girls are a tough one. I know some loyal ones. But the reality is they are continually in meat markets and sketchy situations that invite the attention of men. If she likes to dress *extra* revealing on the regular (red flag) and she parties, you will constantly be dealing with men paying her attention. Can be dealt with if you’re secure but is this something want to deal with every weekend?

There are plenty of other types but these are my biggest red flags. With social media being such a huge factor in today’s world, find an attractive girl with a low key social media profile that isn’t overtly sexual and overtly inviting male attention I’ll give it a 90% chance that she’s a breeze to date, in regards to dealing with other men.
I think hardly any attractive woman is begging for attention. They don't even have a chance to beg, it's the dudes that are begging...EVERYONE.

I think some women probably, maybe, I don't know, may bet the idea "Well, I'm getting all this attention so I might as well make it worth it. I honestly don't know, but I had that thought go through my head a few times when I got "overwhelmed".

Also, if you can get a lot of validation on social media, I'd look for ways to monetize it.

I have met some people, like the "pretty" people when I was in middle and high school who had always been popular and took it for granted, and were mean to the less attractive people. But that's cruel immature childhood behavior...I mean, some people really never mature beyond their high school level identities, but most (I hope) move on from that into deeper waters.

Of course I've known a few really hot guys, generally musicians, often singers, who are total divas and not just because they sing. It's that whole, "this has totally gone to your head, hasn't it?" thing. That is not appealing to me, not in men or women. They are usually not only pretty full of themselves and needing everyone to treat them like princesses at all times, they are secretly insecure and do what they do for the validation of it, and often also drama queens. Ugh, no. Such people might be fun to hang out with, might be charismatic and entertaining for a little while, but if I had to deal with them every day I'd go insane. So I won't sleep with them or date them.

It is a strange fact that the only men who have ever actually sent me the dreaded "unsolicited D pic" have been singers of metal bands. And I believe it speaks to their need for attention on some level, that they share those things in common...

I have rejected men who were incredibly good looking before. But there's usually more to my choice than that.

Men and women are thirsty in different ways. Men will comment on girls photos, constantly like their stuff, DM, approach, hit on them etc. But to say hardly any attractive women are begging for attention is hilarious on its face.

There is a difference between simply existing as an attractive woman (whom will still receive attention) and being the type that seeks it out explicitly, regardless of relationship status. I think you know this. And in today’s world of instant gratification and validation seeking social media, I think the percent of attractive women overtly seeking attention and validation is quite high, especially via social media.

People are addicted to social media for a reason. Attention and validation feels good. But that can bring relationship problems.

I know many women in my social media sphere who are overtly seeking male attention in their profiles. Less than 1% is monetizing it. At that point it’s a combination of personal enjoyment and work, but still not my cup of tea.
