I found a good percentage of the beautiful women would have a lack of intellectual skills. Many were extremely intelligent but because they had so many social opportunities, they were unlikely to spend much time doing research at the Library on interesting topics of conversation. The plain looking women who was dateless on Friday night spent more time reading and following the news on TV.

The plain looking women had to work harder on her social skills and etiquette because she knew she had to try harder for a relationship. The beautiful women spent alot of time dating men who were only interested in their looks and did not spend as much time looking into compatibility and personality match.

Of course many of you will find exceptions to this rule (beautiful people who are wonderful inside and out), but I believe that most men make the mistake of giving ugly on the inside beautiful on the outside women the matter of the doubt, and suffer for it.

Agree or disagree?
What if, OH, GREAT ONE OF SHALLOW THREAD TOPICS, what if someone has been attractive and plain in the same lifetime?

LOL, yes another shallow one about those awful good looking people!

All I can say from reading various threads on here that if your the slightest bit attractive MainStreet, you might as well forget it, you suck!!! Your mean, shallow and no one wants to date you or be your friend girl!! Go back to being plain now or spend your life a lonely lonely woman!!

The pretty girls just wanted the boyfriend who their “friends†could be jealous of and so were always concerned about what everyone thought.

In the end I ended up with a plain girl who never tried to change me and I realized how much hotter she gets the older she is. The plain girls blossom slowly, the pretty ones peak early and then start to look like Joan Rivers afterwards.

I LOVE YOUR COMMENTS AND TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!11

I seriously do not think it's about looks, although certainly a lot of people today do, otherwise, I wouldn't be receiving flyers in the mail about cosmetic surgery....I'm thinking about getting freckles put on my arms, whataya think?

But, have we become so vane, that we've forgotten, that no matter what a person looks like, they are still a human being...and to me, that is first and foremost...be them beautiful...or a dog like me....lol....hey....everyone needs to love and be loved, isn't that what it's all about?

Hugs
Creme

Plain looking partners just doesn't have lasting potential around here if they are with someone who is "above" their level of beauty, class, or intelligence.
Where I live, there is a shortage of women. The best looking women normally go for the guys with money (they often have looks too). This means that in most other marriages, the man is (IMO) better looking than his wife.

We also have a high divorce rate. I'm not sure whether there is a correlation. Its been said that this is because so many people move here but it would be interesting to see whether the local marriages or the marriages of those who moved here were more at risk.

I've dated, for the most part, ordinary and some less than ordinary looking men. They are not always the better man.

Quite honestly I don't think you can generalize it. I think people are who they are, doesn't matter if they're 'magazine-cover gorgeous', or 'nose in a research textbook plain'.

you are talking about success and stability over excitment and risk.
you are not appealing to many people.
