Do you date people who are less attractive than you because you feel they won't cheat on you?

Question

Some people date people who are less attractive because they feel more appreciated, and sfaer. Do you think it's a good idea?

Answer 1

I have done that before, but I've found it to be faulty logic. I've dated some guys who were less attractive so that I'd feel more comfortable with them. I thought I would be on solid ground.
But those guys ended up being even WORSE than the better looking guys.
Cheaters come in all different shapes and sizes. Less attractive men cheat just as much as more attractive men.

Answer 2

The only reason you should date a person who you feel is less attractive than you would be for a superficial reason only. Physical beauty is only one layer of a person and should not be the reason for basing any relationship or date on. There are very physically beautiful people with very shallow and selfish feelings.

If you want an example just pick up a copy of "Average Joe 1 & 2" and see how beautiful models choose physical beauty over the beauty of the soul. And how the beauty of the soul was much more valuable.

Answer 3

Wow thats harsh, but I don't date people who are less attractive than me just because I believe they won't cheat on me, because it'll just end up me wanting to leave them. Why would I want to be stuck with someone who I do not have so strong feelings for? And attraction and looks always comes first whether people would like to admit it or not. Everyone always falls in love with someone in some way, mostly looks, right? I think my boyfriend and I are both on equal levels, and we both still get hit on by the opposite sex, but we love that we both do even though jealousy gets involved because we both know that we are decent looking. the only way you can find someone who will not cheat on you and with good looks is just someone who you can trust. There are many gorgeous people out there who do not cheat.

Answer 4

Absolutely not. Attractive people are less, not more likely to cheat on you. Although this issue is mostly one of morality, not opportunity, there is something you don't know about opportunity.

Opportunity has little to do with looks, especially for men. Attractive women get hit on more, but they have a huge problem. The men who hit on them are random and low quality men are the most likely to hit on someone just because they look a certain way. THEY HAVE LITTLE MORE EXPOSURE TO THE MEN THEY WANT THAN LESS ATTRACTIVE GIRLS. Sure, they could sleep around easily if they wanted to, but only the lowest quality women do that. The situation is even greater for men. For us, looks have almost nothing to do with getting women, except at the very lowest end of the gene pool. If you are 500 lbs overweight with giant boils on your face and smell like feces, then yeah, that has an impact. But, there is no difference among the range of "normal" when it comes to looks for men. It is all our behavior.....and almost any man can get almost any woman he wants, in almost any situation, if he knows what to do.

Being neurotic is mostly the problem. People who think they are unattractive prevent themselves from engaging in any of the behaviors that get you laid. Plus they ignore the looks of members of the opposite sex that basically mean they could go off with them at that very instant and **** their brains out with little or no effort. The average person runs into several of these a week, just walking around in the mall or something. They screen them out.

Eventually, by some miracle, these neurotic people hook up. Thinking themselves unattractive, two very important negative things happen. The first is they immediately devalue their mate. They assume that since they are with them, they must be of even lower value than themselves. The other is they are now free to do those things that get them laid. This is a bad combination, cheatingwise. Often, they screw up their limited opportunities by cheating on their lover with someone inappropriate. They lose both people and think themselves even less attractive then before.

People who think of themselves as attractive, rarely have this problem.

No....what you want is someone you are hot for, who has high self esteem and strong moral fiber. Not only will you be much happier....they will be far more loyal to you.

Answer 5

When I was single, I dated based on personality and physical appearance. I never thought in terms of dating someone less attractive than me on purpose.

Answer 6

No....I date women I think are sexy, regardless of what others think. At the end of the day, I am the only person that has to be attracted

Answer 7

well, people is differnt, some might date a person whose not attractive so to be safe. that happens to people whose been hurting by someone before...
some people have strong mind, they wants to date the most popular guy to let her look good. but i personally date guy who i like and treats me different. looking is not so important to me.

Answer 8

That's a great idea, I do that all the time. I want the person that I'm with to feel lucky that someone like me would date someone like them.

Answer 9

Cheating has nothing to do with looks. College room mate married a trophy class, cheated with a Plain Jane. Why? "She" baked his favorite cookies.

Answer 10
