How do you feel about couples when one partner is a real lookrr while the other is well more on an ugly side? Im not saying looks matters but I do wonder sometimes when I see such couples. Also Im not saying a average Joe kind of looks, but really something that could be described as Beauty and the Beast.

I wonder this sometimes when I see a really hot woman with some seriously ugly dude. She can have any guy she wants and she chooses this mutt? LOL

Very funny but I always say, it is a mystery when I saw couples with one partner is a looker and his partner well, a look that only mother can love.I wonder how they meet and who initiated everyting. I also wonder what makes that good looking guy like the beast, i mean the other person. I would just say that the world is full of mystery. Hope that mystery won't happen to me.lol!

We all have different priorities in life, love. ANd thats what makes everything possible I guess. I actually wish many mysteries to you...because those can bring you many wonderful things we wouldnt even consider ;)

i understand how you feel because just like you, i also wonder about those kind of things. i'm quite amazed with how love works especially when i meet couples who look so opposite and it makes me admire the beauty of love that even people don't care about the their partner's appearances. i think love is magnificent and that's how it should always be. we should choose to love someone who looks perfect but we should choose someone who may be imperfect but despite that fact, we could still love him/her perfectly.

sometimes we tend to tease each other about these things. I am the beast part here as a couple. When we were still young I am not the beast part because I am quite pretty before and I have a local look a like artist here in our country but due to gaining weight my physical and facial features changed. We've been together for 12 years already. And now we are the beauty and the beast couple we teases that thing to us just to make fun but when we are in serious discussion my husband always says I cannot find another girl as my wife except only me. See? beauty is not in the skin but it's who you are as a person.

I totally agree with you...what's important lies within. But the fact is that people rearly allow someone who is really bad looking to come close enough to get to know him/her well enough to fall in love. In my city lives a man, just a few years older then me, who is, well, not good looking at all. He never had a girl and from what I heard (form a friend of mine, who is one of his best friend) he is a great person. And I bet he would make a great boyfriend or husband. Unfortunaly his looks stand in a way to his 'love' happiness and probably always will. Its sad, but this is the truth. Its different when you already love someone and his/hers apperance change, you wouldnt stop loving him/her for that. For what I care my bf can gain 100kg and I would still love him as much as I do now. When its love its love! ;)

I find it endearing to see two couples in love oblivous to eachothers looks. I have dated someone who I guess you could consider not so good looking. He was a big man and at first I was put back (first impressions and such) but after I got to know him, I came to love him with all my heart. That love made him as I saw him on the inside the most stunning man on this earth. I guess it's just me as I don't care what others think as I know that I have a love that is untouchable and it's me living that life no one else. That's just my take on everything. I find beauty in both those people as they found a meaning that is beyond most couples and outter appearances. Never judge a book by it's cover sort of thing you'd be suprised what stories and great things lay within :) Interesting topic though :) good post

me too, in fact I am more likely to smile and think its sweet if a couple isnt very good looking, because it somehow tells me there's real love. This sounds very discriminatory to good looking couples doesnt it :/ I like your way of thinking, unfortunally world turs opposite way.

My future husband and I talk about this all the time!! (I mean not all the time but we've talked about it a few times!) I really do think it's odd when a girl is beautiful and the guy is not so much.. or vice versa. I have learned in sociology classes that usually you do pick someone for your partner who is over equal "caliber" in the looks department. There have been many studies done of this.. or so my sociology professors have said! (sorry i don't have any to quote!). I think this is true of my fiance and I actually. I would say we are both above average in the looks department but not like super model. Sometimes men and women just look for different qualities than looks (which is important). Women may want more security (through money) and have a man with lower quality looks.. and maybe she likes to be the trophy wife too. This is just an example!

Yes you're right about this, there are many different reasons why. Its not like looks really matters at least as long as its in somehow normal or lets say average boundaries, but it does make a difference if its a lot below or even above average.

Oh haha. yah i know what you mean. I've seen a few couples like that. It's like. Um ... you're gorgeous! Why... Him??.... lol. Makes your head spin for a minute then you just accept it ... I had a neighbor and she was absolutely gorgeous Then i met her boyfriend and he was weird looking. One eye went this way the other went that.... So I figured I'd take a gander at his personality adn what a dog he was too. Mean, shortfused, and unfaithful. Guess i could say he was a total idiot for being like that when he has such a beautiful girl.. But then she was stupid enough to love him. haha.

Actually i do understand women, as I always thought they are more deep then men (I better hide from any man that reads this heheh). Oh well love is a strange thing and has an eye of its own..and you know what they say pretty girls love bast*rds:)

Hello, mojcica. I have seen couples like that already. I find it pretty interesting. Usually the girl is so beautiful, but how is she with that ugly guy? It is interesting to know that, when you love, you don't find the other person ugly. It is also a great way to get me cheered up. I know that, despite being ugly, I can be with someone. Beauty... What is beauty after all? I mean, people say they want somebody beautiful to be with, but in fact they end with somebody ugly. And they do not care at all. So, I guess that exterior beauty is not very influent. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Actually, I think that the nicer looking half is mature enough to realize that it isn't all about looks and that he/she took the time to get to know the person. When I see such couples, I think it says much about them as a couple...they tend to have a stronger more solid relationship than other couples who are seem to base their love on superficial things. I don't know...their bond seems stronger, i think.

I think it's a good thing. I see it as a symbol that there really are couples out there that are based on something more than physical appearance. Either that, or he's very well hung. I can never tell. Though sometimes, people are just blind to obvious things. Or, the pretty one is such an egoist that he or she feels as though he or she needs to trot around with a homely partner so that other people will focus on how the pretty person looks. Also, another thing could be insecurity. I would think that someone might be worried about having a hot husband because he might be more likely to cheat and someone might have her eye on him and try to sabotage the relationship. Or, maybe the pretty person is insecure and feels as though they are not good enough for someone pretty. I don't believe this though, because nobody is more "good enough" then anyone else. Everyone has good qualities and bad ones. Some people are just plain nasty though.

I agree...I actually love seeing it too, it may be stereotypical but they do look like the real love is there. And that feels nice to look at :) And you are also correct about a good looking partner, I think I'd worried more too if my partner was a real looker. I prefer an average Joe kinda guy who is not obsessed with the looks, either his or mine for that matter ;)

I have seen lots of couples like that everywhere and they do seem to be oddly paired. One seems to be a lot, lot more good-looking than the other, and this 'other', well, not totally a beast but I'd really go,"why in the world did s/he pick that when s/he get have any guy/girl with that kind of look?" LOL! Another thing I noticed is that the not-so-good looking partner get to be waited hand and foot by the oh-so-gorgeous half. Totally weird! Extremely incomprehensible! LOL! They look sweet, though. I'm actually jealous. haha!

Well,it seems that it's common to see this kind of couples.I think if one partner is more on a ugly side,he or she may has a special quallity that attracts the other.And we always believe the judgement based on one's appearance is not unfair.But we do wonder because we are curious about what qualities the ugly one may have that drive the other who is more good-looking to love him.At least I think this way.

That is what we called " love is blind". a friend of mine is married to a beast looks like you says...but his attitude is an angel and surely my friend can trust him because of love and care he give on her and the perfect couples is between them. How nice to find a man like him..for me I don't care the looks as long as I can trust the person and I can count on him doesn't matter the beauty or what you will do with the beauty if his/her attitude is like an animal..surely you will still regret them! thanks for discussion....God bless

i have observed that also, but i think some people would chose a partner who's not so good looking because they feel secured because they believe that this person will not cheat on them unlike those guys who are good looking because let's face it, not good looking can not be as attractive as the good looking ones. there are people also got attracted easily to people who are intelligent and have a strong sense of humor that will make them laugh.

When I was single and not yet married I have a boyfriend looks like a beast and I am the beauty! Well this is what happened if we are in the malls or any places people are looking on us smiling others are take a second look or any reactions. But i never care about them the only thing that I know during that time was I love him very much and nothing more. I don't care if he looks so ugly and he was a small guy, short and thin. Seems that we are not meant to each other in physical looks. Most of my friends are disagree with him they refused him really to be my partner. If you are in this situations most of the people aren't like to see the beauty and the beast tandem.Tthey commented negative.
