Do you think that a man prefers to marry a middle of the road/ugly woman?

Question

Do you think a man feels more secure in marrying an ugly woman as opposed to a beautiful popular woman? I see less problems in marriages when the woman is middle of the road or ugly and am thinking is that because a man feels threatened by a beautiful woman?

Answer 1

You know what... you seem to have a point there.. most of my beautiful girlfriends, they remain unmarried.. while the average looking ones are snapped up so fast. In my opinion, they are both just equally wonderful, smart and witty.. I do think that a lot of men prefer less attractive women as wives and hot girls as girlfriends.. i dont know why but i reckon it has something to do with security and control issues.. oh well..

Answer 2

Beauty if in the eye of the beholder. The man probably can see beauty where another person cannot. A man is not going to marry an ugly women because he thinks she is ugly there is something way more beyond that I am sure. Most men like a trophy on thier arm so I really do not think that they are threatened by a beautiful woman. I think maybe the beautiful women may be to much into herself and that beautiful woman has lots of flaws those men can see. Beauty is skin deep.

Answer 3

I can't speak for others, but for myself, beauty is something that comes from within. It doesn't matter whether its a fashion model or what some may call a "plain Jane".

We all get old, and we all get wrinkled. Love is not determined by physical beauty. Its the tenderness, giving, and sharing of love that makes a man want a woman. It's the understanding and acceptance of each other, so even what you call the middle of the road or ugly woman can be, and is the most beautiful woman on earth to someone.

Me, I am married to a much younger woman who is beautiful, inside and out.

Answer 4

Often times, men do feel threatened by a woman's beauty. If he is that insecure, he might be better off with a middle-of-the-road type or no one at all.

But what middle-of-the road is to you, may not be middle-of-the road to him. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Answer 5

Well I am 19 and I have dated many older men, but my cut off age is 55. They still have their looks in their 50's and they are mature and behave respectfully. I also learn a lot from them and they are usually kind and considerate. But when they hit 60 and over, their looks usually really start to disappear and that is when most of them start to look like old men. I would consider marrying any older guy up to the age of 55. The guy I am currently dating is much younger than 55, he is 48. He is kind and eats very healthily. He exercises and plays football. He is a real gentleman.

Answer 6

Nobody marries an ugly person or someone that they believe is in the middle of the road. Regardless of what you and I may see in someone, the opposite is true to the person that loves them. Generally, men make comments like this because your more higher maintenance women tend to be on the the bitchy** side Vs someone not found looking in the mirror all the time are more assured of themselves..... because they did more to get where they are in life (not handed to them). It's not always like this though.....And as you eluded to, some may feel threatened when others are always trying to get their wifes attention...........but either way, it all depends on what the person responds to and what's important to them

Answer 7

No way. They don't look like that until three years after marriage. The saying goes that a wedding ring adds 50 lbs.

Answer 8

Forgive me for being naive but since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, shouldn't you be marrying for love, companionship and the desire to live as one?

Answer 9

My wife is beautiful and I do not feel threatened in the least.

Answer 10

I think its all in there trust and love for one another. i have been with some beautiful girls and they did and didn't do stuff and i have been with some average girls and they did the same. it all depends on their values.
