I think "ugly" people are attracted to beautiful people just like beautiful people are attracted to beautiful people.

Ugly people can want attractive people all they want. They have the "right." But in most cases they won't get an attractive person. To break it down any further, the odds of an ugly woman being with an attractive man are slim to none. An ugly man will need status and / or money to be with an attractive woman.

The whole ideas of leagues, that people simply aren't entitled to desire those regarded as more attractive, is elitist rubbish. That said, the idea anyone can endear themselves to anyone is also rubbish. People tend to find mates similar to themselves, in terms of looks, wealth, education level, etc. There are occasional exceptions, but not many.

I agree, the truth is somewhere in the middle (as it usually is.) Can a blue collar mechanic date someone from Stanford with a biology degree and who works in a lab? Sure...it's possible. But is it more likely that the mechanic will end up just dating and marrying someone he and his family knew from his high school? Yes.

Personally I think that socio-economic status and cultural background have a stronger influence on matches than looks.

Does the poor man have a right to want a big expensive mansion?

It's true! I don't approach men often at all (in fact, it's very rare), but there have been a few instances in which I've approached men who looked absolutely perfect and who I would rate as '10s'. It was very intimidating, as I'm sure they could have any woman they wanted, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I see it all the time...an "ugly" person with a beautiful person...It appears that their must be a beauty inside the "ugly" person that the visually beautiful person has the insight to see. If you are dumb and ugly then you are pretty much screwed. Go for what you want. Most people whether they be ugly or beautiful believe they do not deserve to have a beautiful person in their life....so they settle for less....GO FOR IT...the worst that can happen is that you will be rejected...and being "ugly" I am sure you are battle hardened and use to rejection...You have nothing to lose.
