| | | | Who has it worse in American society: Ugly men or ugly women?
Sign in to disble this ad
I got into this debate the other day. I argued that ugly guys probably have it worse because it's women who hold the "power" in choosing who they date. The opposing argument was that ugly women have it worse because guys can use humor, charm, or wealth to attract women. The example that was used was that you see very rich, old, ugly men with hot 20-somethings but you don't see rich, ugly women with good looking young men.

Women sleep with personality, charm, wealth, humor as much as they do physical appearance. Guys, not so much. |

And I frequently had no luck at all with women. The ugly guys you see with hot young chicks are generally the rich guys. Rich ugly chicks do get hot young guys too. You just don't generally see it as often.
You've got to go pretty far down homely road before a woman looks so bad that no guy will do her. For a guy to be equally out of luck all it takes is a less than impressive job.

so, how's our self esteem feeling today?
incidentally, is this why you're a death metal fan?
heh, that reminds me of a sbemail in which strong bad stated that "you'd better be ugly Dane, or fat. The gift of death metal does not smile on the good looking"
in fact, here's a link. http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail141.html

*edit* Is there a reason you specified American society? Seems like it'd be the same for most societies. Just throwin that out there.

This guy shows up with a very homely woman. She goes up to the house to use the potty and this guys' buddies start giving him hell about how ugly she is. This ended the night: "She's so ugly, anybody'd f..... her is just too dang lazy to j....off."

Ugly men do alright because, in my experience, women also weigh personality, confidence, humor, etc etc etc just as equally as with a guy's looks. So if you're not very good-looking, you can make up for it with your charm. It's easier for an ugly guy to get a date than for an ugly girl to get a date. Case in point: I'm an ugly guy and I have a HOT girlfriend.

I'd think women have it worse then men. Ugly men can always buy love.
