Why do average looking people think that they can score with hot people???????

[The Squadfather]

this is a question that has puzzled me for a long time, it's not just women but men too but you listen to average looking women talk and they all think they can land a good looking successful rich guy, what makes them think that, more than likely that dude is looking for an unbelievable looking woman and vice versa.

Probably because they can. Looks aren't everything...and extremely good looking people are acutely aware of that.
They have talents, abilities, characteristics and needs that go way beyond their looks that are often not even recognized, let alone appreciated. When someone meets your core needs or is able to appreciate you for all you bring to the table, beyond your looks, if you have any sense at all, you're not going to toss that aside in pursuit of something so superficial as looks.

There are plenty of couples where one is not considered as attractive as the other. I'm not going to name any famous ones right now 'cause I don't want to offend anyone, ...but Hollywood is full of them.

PS - There was also the Prince of Wales and Wallace Simpson. I'd definately say she was less than average.

Yes, hard to believe Wally managed to get a king to abdicate.

Also, what some people forget, is that not all men want an SO/wife who is gorgeous because they don't want to be "worried" all the time. They prefer the down-to-earth, less attractive woman who's going to love them, take care of the kids & home, etc... and won't have grandiose ideers about herself.  Same goes for some women. 

Besides, have you ever seen two gorgeous people together?

  I am ugly as sin....but I have dated nice looking women.Maybe not supermodels but certainly not ugly.(like me)Once they get past the whole knife to their throat thing,they actually have a nice time.

Somewhat analogous to saying, “My wife’s no beauty, but at least I know where she is.”
I actually heard someone say that once.

A woman with stong handcuffs, a sturdy paddle and a well equipped dungeon can do wonders.

Yep all the time, ...especially on Oscar night. Then at the end of the night, after all the cameras have stopped flashing, she goes home to her plain under the radar boyfriend, ...and so does he.

Looks are indeed not everything. I know an average looking woman, and she literally can make heads turn as she walks by. She's got that attitude, or whatever you might call that in English. X-factor?

Sorry but I have maby only once in my life seen an 'Average" woman with a good looking successful man.
HOWEVER I know we have all seen the average guy with the hot girl, or the fat yet wealthy guy with a hot woman.

that's because society judges a woman on what she looks like first and foremost and a man on how much money he makes, that's just the truth.

I hear a lot of women say that age is irrelevant.
Looks mean nothing.
Money’s not important.

But I have yet to see a beautiful, young girl with an old ugly guy who’s broke.

I suppose this is my cue to start naming names all throughout Hollywood, of gorgeous rich successful hunks, married to homely plain janes, ...but I don't want to offend anyone so I'll simply say... they exist.

When you have a couple like Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, the press goes wild. It's a publicists dream.
but when you have a handsome leading man, who is married to a homely plain jane who is NOT in the business, and wants OUT of the spotlight, everyone does their best to keep her out of the spotlight. At least they can have somewhat of a normal existence.

I think some people are just overly confident. Lets face it....looks do matter. You certainly do not want to be hooked up with someone you do not find attractive. Thats why we all hit the gym and take care of ourselves. I think some people look in the mirror and assume they are a twelve out of ten in the looks range, but in reality they are not. How many times has everyone on this board been hit on a bar or club by someone that they found very unattractive? I'm sure its happened to everyone here.

Wealthy, unattractive men often have no problems approaching beautiful women. Aside from the obvious buying power money has, very often the kind of man who amasses great wealth has some kind of never give up, inner drive, determination, stubbornness, etc... which translates into other areas.  Like getting what you want as far as people go.

If you look at the broke, works as a Walmart greeter guy, chances are his vibes will reflect his situation... not very confident, probably pedantic and set in his ways, fatalistic, etc... people aren't usually attracted to that. Old, broke poets and painters sometimes do okay with young women for awhile because of the whole "romantic" image they have.

Very attractive women intimidate many (most?) men.
Theres more available there than you'd think.
These chicks are also SO SO sick of what usually comes on to them;
If you can get 'em past the plain look, and show them you are a interesting person-
You can get in their pants !

despite being a mess for very long, i often dated out of my own league.  if you have something in common and give em time to get used to your ugly ass, you'll be surprised how well you can do

What money does to a woman's sex life when she becomes mega- wealthy! 

http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2007/01/23/the-rich-libido/

The survey’s most-surprising findings relate to the impact that money has on the sex lives of women. More than 80% of both the men and women surveyed were married, although the women’s wealth was independent of their husbands’. Among the respondents, nearly three-quarters of the women surveyed (about 150) said they’d had affairs, compared to about 50% of the men. While the male numbers are in keeping with findings for the broader American population, the figure for women is almost twice as high as the national average, according to sex researchers. (More than half of all the men and women surveyed had been divorced at least once.)

Fully 63% of rich men said wealth gave them “better sex,” which they defined as having more-frequent sex with more partners. That compares to 88% of women who said more money gave them better sex, which they defined as “higher quality” sex.

“This tells us that the women as a whole receive more sexual benefits from wealth than men,” says Ms. Grove.

The women in the survey were almost twice as likely than their male counterparts to have “more adventurous and exotic” sex lives than they did before they were wealthy. They were also more than twice as likely than men to be members of the “mile high club,” meaning they’ve had sex on an airplane. Fully 72% of the female respondents said they were mile-high-club members, compared to 33% of the men. (Both numbers are larger than the norms even for the wealthy for a simple reason: All the survey respondents owned jets or shares in jets.)
.............

“I see in my practice that financial stress can have huge impacts on the libido and can cause general dissatisfaction,” he says. “When you strip away those elements of financial hardship and stress, that can make for better sex. This shows that sex and money are very intertwined.”

The wealthy also tend to travel more, leading to more-exotic and adventurous sex lives, Mr. Kerner says. “There is just more stimuli and luxury in their lives, so that would increase libido.”

.....................

Mr. Kerner says the increased sexual activity by wealthy women doesn’t reflect the “pool boy” syndrome commonly portrayed in the media: bored young trophy wives having affairs with household help. Today’s rich women are powerful businesspeople who feel secure in having relationships outside their marriage — mostly with professional colleagues.

“We’re not talking about the woman who’s home with two kids and who’s dependent on her husband,” Mr. Kerner says. “Those women are more likely to worry about the consequences of having other relationships.”

He added that especially for women, sex is closely linked to self-esteem. And since wealth usually brings greater self-esteem, it can improve a woman’s sex life.

“For the minute percentage of women who are that wealthy, this wealth can be a big ego booster and allow them to feel very comfortable and relaxed about sex,” he says. “They have a strong sense of identity and they know they don’t have to be inhibited about communicating their needs. It’s about the confidence and power and opportunity that comes with having a lot of wealth.”

  You can have any woman you want if you can some how get them to go on one date with you...just one. Once you go on a date all that you need to do then is EDITED,THEN QUIT YOUR JOB!!  they will never leave...It's sad but true.Think about it.The biggest most worthless lazy bumb you know probably has a good woman that loves him. EDITED.

[trab]

Beat the Hell out of them? Wow, and I was worried about being offensive.
Most of the women TRAPPED in THAT kind of relationship are just that.Trapped.  It's Easy to tell others what's so simple to do when your not in their skin. Just leave is not as simple as it sounds for many women.
Sure, Just leave with some kids, no good paying job skills and nowhere to go...
Thats a whole nasty topic to itself.     

[Parker]

  The biggest most worthless lazy bumb you know probably has a good woman that loves him.THEY ALWAYS DO.

I've seen so many times in my line of work.
