Secret to successful marriage is an ugly husband, claims survye
Mar 24 2008
WOMEN should wed a man who is uglier than them if they want a happy marriage, according to new research.
Psychologists found blokes who were better looking than their wives were more likely to be unhappy dealing with married life.
But guys with prettier partners tended to be more content, said the University of Tennessee.
They rated 82 newlywed couples on their looks then got them to talk about their problems.
The couples' discussions were filmed in order to measure how emotionally supportive they were of each other.
Study leader Professor Jim McNulty said: "Men who were more attractive than their partner had a tendency to offer less emotional and practical support to their wives.
"But men who were less attractive than their wives demonstrated a tendency to be more likely to offer support.
"Evolutionary perspectives can help explain why men's attractiveness appeared to be more detrimental than beneficial to marriage.
"Attractive men have available to them more short-term mating opportunities. This may make them less satisfied and less committed to the marital relationship."
He said women are less choosy about what their men look like, as long as they are able to help them reproduce.
The findings were published in the Journal of Family Psychology.
This doesn't surprise me, perhaps it's also a security thing where less attractive partners are less likely to cheat if they are with a better looking partner?
Turning this around slightly from a different point of vew, what about you outers, do any of you consciously look for the same in your partner (be that male or female of course)? |
