Do ugly people find other ugly people attractive?

Deus Ex Machina · 21-10-2010 09:00PM #1

This is a weird one, and there are a couple of questions around it too.

Do ugly people find other ugly people attractive?

Do ugly people rate other ugly people's looks as higher than an attractive person would?

Do ugly people find attractive people more attractive than an attractive person would?

In my experience, as somebody who considers myself moderately attractive (pics or gtfo, hilarious) I would try to mate with people who are more attractive than I, or at least as attractive. I am taking personality out of the equation here, but I would also say that I would avoid mating with people whom I would consider ugly, as I am not attracted to them. Any thoughts on this?

What about personality? Factor that in no?

/gets coat...

No, we don't.

If they're ugly they don't really have a choice.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For someone a nice smile might be enough to see past other discrepancies. For example some see vanity as a horrible trait and can't see past it. I don't think anyone ever gets with someone unless there is something there no matter how bad either of them are. A good personality can push an average person into a higher bracket. Looks aren't everything and thats why you see couples where one is a 7 and the other is a 5.

way to make sex sound boring.

By using your rule of thumb, I can deduce that your ma is a alright but your granny is a swamp-donkey

We're all the same in the dark.

I'd say most "ugly" people realize early on the value of a good personality so looks are just not as important to them. Also, what you consider ugly might be attractive to someone else. I know people who find red hair and pale skin unattractive but I actually really like girls with red hair/pale skin. It's all subjective really.

Terry · 21-10-2010 09:08PM

Yes, I find my fellow ugly people attractive.

Bigotry and shallowness are two of the ugly qualities which attract me to other ugly people.
Idiocy is another.

Mrmoe · 21-10-2010 09:09PM

I would much rather be with someone who was physically ugly rather than have an ugly personality. There are relatively very few ugly people around so thats not really a problem.

allow me to introduce deus et machina, or as he's known around these parts, 'mister confidence'.

Ah, how very charitable of you :rolleyes:

BTW, that's 'scobe' language you're using to describe the fairer sex!

cleremy jarkson · 21-10-2010 09:28PM

All other things being equal, everybody strives to mate with the most objectively attractive partner they can.

Ugly people don't find each other as attractive as they find attractive people attractive, obviously. They only mate with other ugly people because they have no other choice...the people they fancy most are able to find other attractive people to mate with..so the ugly people have to just put up with mating with someone they don't actually fancy that much. Of course they will deny this and say that they fancy their ugly partner but deep down they either wish they were with somebody else or they wish their partner was more attractive.

I thought the above was just default knowledge for adult human beings to have

Your opening post seems coherent enough so I don't think you're stupid, so I assume you're trolling!

The people in that new ikea ad are sooo beautiful. and that song is mad. thats why you'll always find me in the kitchen at pawrttees.

If you're going to troll, at least try to be a bit more subtle about it.

that was not trolling. myself and h8scobes are part of an underground movement for cool kids everywhere to rise up on the internet and make it a cool place where nerds can no longer seek refuge.

beware, your time is limited.

They actually aren't. Well dressed and stylish, but not necessarily attractive. The main guy isn't all that good looking.

I'm never finished getting my ass kicked by jocks. It literally never ends. A blonde guy with abnormally well developed pectorals and a football team bomber jacket is raining blows on my head as I type.

No, it really doesn't depend how you say it or who you might judge yourself to be, but if you want to sound like a tosser, go right ahead...
