When I was dating, I always wondered if I gave beautiful women the matter of the doubt. It seemed many of the most attractive women I dated could be cruel, mean, petty, boring and unpleasant to be around but I always gave them the matter of the doubt because they were so beautiful and sexy. The ones with the best personality were always the plain looking women but I was not mature enough to understand that in the long run it was better to have a relationship with a person I liked personally vs physically.
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?
Sort of agree. The really attractive people can get away with a lot more than average looking people. They know they're beautiful and they know that others think so. Too often, they end up with inflated egos thinking they can get away with treating others like dirt. But the problem with these people and the ones that go for them is that both will end up disappointed. The really beautiful woman will see her looks fade and men passing them up for younger, more attractive women. And the men who went for those women will eventually discover those women don't always offer much beyond their looks. I'm not saying all attractive people fit this stereotype, but too many do. In the long run, you shouldn't be cutting anyone extra slack just because of how they attractive they are. You do that and you're only encouraging them to walk all over you.

Well, this is exactly what I was thinking.
I remember there was a show, either 20/20 or PrimeTime Live that did a bit on how being attractive impacts people's lives. They planted two women stranded on the side of the road. The first was very plain looking and the second was a real beauty.
Well, you know what happened. Men were stopping all the time to assist the beauty and were blowing right past the plain girl.
They did the same thing with fake interviewees. They even went so far as to have the beauty claim to not have any of the prerequisite skills and the men would say, "Oh well, you can learn on the job. When can you start?" At the same time, they would brush off the very qualified plain-looking girl.
This is just a fact of life. People are more attracted to attractive people. However, in a relationship, like Denny says above, it would get really old dealing with somebody selfish or stupid.
Also, plain-looking guys are better in bed. I will call this a fact based on my own scientific research.
re: song by harry belafonte get an ugly girl to marry you.
a horrible mistake you can be rotten inside and out.
dont try this one at home kids.
middle of the road is good.

If people weren't allowed to stereotype and over-generalize, we'd probably only have 10 posts a day in this entire forum!!
By the way, my husband is quite handsome and he is the best, most caring man I've ever been with. Before him, I dated a wide variety of men, and I can tell you that there are PLENTY of plain-looking jerks in the sea.

TO ANOTHER POSTER ABOVE, I DONT WEAR A HELL OF A LOT OF WARPAINT AND I DONT LOOK A HECK OF A LOT DIFFERENT WITH OR WITHOUT AND I FALL IN THE PRETTIER THAN THE NORM CATEGORY ( SO I HEAR) ...DONT YOU THINK IT IS MORE I NTHE INDIVIDUAL? LOTS OF STEREOTYPING ON THIS THREAD..

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!!
