Not really. Some men are prettier than women. Some women are handsome ;)
Women...pretty. Men...ugly. Simple.

^^That sounds like a terrible relationship. How worthless would you have to feel about yourself to allow your partner to cheat on you without repercussions? Any relationship that makes you feel worthless by comparison is one I don't want to be in. A partner is supposed to bring out the best in you, not have you worried on a daily basis she's going to leave you.
Cuckolds love that shit.

Beauty is subjective, first of all.
I've never ever been into the Brad Pitt type, and never will be. I never liked N*Sync or The Backstreet Boys when all my friends did. I'm sure everyone thought I was a lesbian, oh well. I would literally get turned off and grossed out if my significant other was considered more attractive than myself. I wouldn't feel like a woman anymore. I feel like most women want to feel valued, attractive, and feminine. And would you feel that way will a model-like man? Probably not.
We all look for different things in our partners. I know a lot of people (including my friends) never find my choice of partners attractive. But I also have never found their choice of partners to be attractive either. We all look for certain things. For example, I am only attracted to men who are smarter than me, or I will be turned off and grossed out. I guess the same holds true physically... I need a manly man. And manly rarely = pretty.

That is true. Brad Pitt does nothing for me. The guy I am interested in would not appeal to most. He's short, chubby and balding. To me he's handsome.

Not quite. Normally I wouldn't be attracted to a short chubby balding man.

Mine is too and strangely I'm not upset. It's ironic because at first he seemed older which he is, but not as old as I thought.

An attractive model type can make a woman feel like that too. I've seen it. The couple I posted about earlier(the lucky bitch that married the former model, he worships her from head to toe). And no, he's not dumb like a box of rocks. He's really smart too. She lucked out big time.
It's like strippers. Most of them use their looks to pay off school. ;)
If a man loves and makes you happy, he will do that no matter what he looks like tbh.
I don’t mind dating extremely attractive guys where I look like a won the trophy. In fact, I love it. Lol. As long as he's not a douche and has important qualities for me to keep him. The only person who I care about getting attention from is from my partner, and that's it. I don't care to get attention from random strangers when I'm not single. Actually, I don't like it.

So true! I wish I could post a picture, my husband is a dead ringer for Marcus Schenkenberg (but he doesn't have a clefted chin) BUT he is also highly educated, and speaks 7 or 8 languages. These are important qualities for me MORE than his looks.
I'm also with you on I hate attention from strangers when I'm not single. I actually prefer to do the choosing and don't much like it even when I am single. Just... leave me alone and let me come to you. If I like you, I'll see you and initiate.

If given the choice between an average looking man versus a male model man I'd take the handsome man. The problem though is most men aren't in the handsome range. Most men I know are anywhere from homely to average. Women it's a bit different because more women fall in the better than average range from cute to beautiful with most of these women probably falling into the cute range. Because there are less attractive men in general (not to mention in my experience many of the most handsome men I have met were gay), women often have to settle on this unless they are top of the scale in looks (and very few are). I think that's partly why many women judge on many things. One of the hottest guys I ever dated looked like one of my favorite rock stars who is extremely handsome (and was even more back when I dated this guy)but this guy turned out to be a player.
Btw I also hate getting attention too because 90% of the time it's a guy that repulses me. A handsome male model look like? only if they are trying to look like Frankenstein. For some unexplained reason I seem to attract the ugliest men, which either tells me I'm ugly (I'm not), or it's because I am friendly and they take it the wrong way (sometimes, other times I am a bitch), or they assume in their delusional way I would even be interested (likely why they do this). I usually leave my house with my iPod and headphones and put them on to avoid some strange weirdo talking to me.

There are many other possibilities in a situation like this, and people's attitudes are different because people are different. I'm in an open relationship, and my wife prefers that I only hook up with women hotter than she is. Where other women might express insecurity there, she says "You already have me, why would I want you to settle for someone less attractive than I am? Why would you want her when you have me? Stick to chicks that don't make me question why you want them". *shrug* - different attitudes. In teh situation described previously - yeah, it's probably sociopathic chick and an insecure guy. But maybe not - who knows? I know enough swingers, open marriages, and poly couples to know better than to assume what the dynamic is from the outside. The only barometer that matters is the strength of their relationship and relative levels of happiness.
Kellydancer - re ugly guys being nasty - um years and years of insecurity and rejection makes people bitter. This surprises you?! It's the same with women, and it's the ame with attractive people of both genders. Pretty people and ugly people of either gender can go either way - be nice because you have it easier and appreciate what you have/be nice because you can't get by on looks or be nasty because you can get away with it and you're stuck up because of your looks/be nasty becasue years of rejection and low self esteem have made you into a bitter and hateful person and it doesn't matter because you tried being nice and got rejected anyway... Rocket surgery it is not.

I get that, but even so then at least they should try to be nice to someone they are interested in. Do these men actually think being nasty is going to get them a woman? I can't help but wonder if these men are often the same men who attempt to date way above their league and get rejected, or used, then become bitter. My former friend was unattractive so he needed to have something else since he didn't offer looks or money. The result was he never had a relationship at all. The reality is while nasty people aren't fun, better looking nasty people can get away with more.
