OT: Yeah, he's ugly, right!
Saw this article on gorgeous girls like "ugly" men. It's obviously a load of sh**. The guys are either really macho or have some kind of exotic spooky presence. They're not talking about Woody Allen ugly here!

I did think the much older guy looked really weird, though!

what a load of crap. we're talking the Sun rag here. i will say this however. as you know i used to be a professional musician. i played with a lot of ugly guys. now i'll tell you, there's something about being on stage and playing an instrument that sends women up a tree. every musician scores. my g/f told me what a turn on it is that i play piano because most chicks dig piano! well, all i know is that people can look like sh*t but if you're on a stage you're a stud! carbonblob
Mia Farrow isn't exactly a dog, so you might want to reconsider the Woody Allen metaphor.
Many "high quality" women will marry fat, ugly, short, bald, (insert any detractor here) men, for many reasons.
I'll probably get in a heap of trouble for this post, but this is the locker room, right? Besides this information just might help some of our single club members land a real smart, kind, beauty of a women.
Attracting and keeping a "high quality" women has far more to do with your level of confidence, loyalty, security, brains, integrity, resources, talent, humor and personality than "Tall Dark and Handsome" ever will. I am living proof of that.
It's not all about money either. A homeless lead guitar player in a garage band will do better than a millionaire, if he has the qualities described above and the millionaire does not.
Just as we men are once removed from our cave man ancestors, so are women. Cave women wanted a man that could hunt (provider), would protect and defend her (confidence), would stick around to help her raise their children,(Loyalty) and were smarter than the others, (could make fire, make and use tools etc.).
Good hunters use to be defined by physical features, but not anymore. A computer geek rates as high on the "good hunter" scale as a pro athlete anymore. The first trumpet player in the marching band rates as high as the starting quarterback in high school these days, on the confidence scale.
Loyalty? That pretty much remains the same, but with a twist. A hot chick with an ugly guy is less likely to have him stolen away by a younger, hotter chick down the road.
Resources and social status. These mean more to women than any of us would like to admit, but it remains true, and again has to do with providing for the security of her (and her children) down the road. While it use to mean that she would not starve when things got rough, now it means more that her children will still go to good schools/college, etc. It really has more to do with being a good hunter than it does being rich.
Just my two cents, coming from the guy that is married to a beautiful blue eyed, ivy league educated, former cheerleader, who has given me and raised 4 great kids and is still a perfect size 6, .......who I am sure our neighbors refer to us as the beauty and the beast. LOL
Your mileage will vary.

I am reminded of Julia Roberts & Lyle Lovett or Valorie Bertinelli and Eddie Van Halen or any model who dates Nicholas Cage. How about Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel, whew. There's definitely something about ugglly men but I'd just as soon wonder and keep on the pretty side! Shannon Tweed and Gene Simmons (must be the 11" tongue!) LOL Bob M.
