RELATIONSHIPS MORE SUCCESSFUL WHEN MAN IS UGLIER

A new study claims that relationships are more likely to be successful when the woman is paired up with a less attractive man. Researchers from Florida State University and Southern Methodist University in Texas analyzed 113 newlyweds, all married less than four months, in their late 20s. The participants were ranked on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of facial and body attractiveness, then given a questionnaires focused on their willingness to diet and stay in shape. The study had “Beauty and the Beast” results – women were happier with less genetically blessed hubbies, who compensated in the relationship with acts of kindness, including giving gifts, sexual favors or completing extra housework. Husbands seemed to be more committed to pleasing their wives when they felt that they were getting a pretty good deal. Meanwhile, women who had hot husbands were found to more likely obsess over exercising and dieting in an effort to be slim.
* Well, this explains Paul Giamatti having the hot wife on “Billions”.
* This study is flawed without tossing the man’s bank account into the equation.
* What married guy doesn’t wake up every morning thanking the heavens that there’s somebody who will tolerate him?
* Another thing – how do you analyze an odd number of newlyweds? Were three of them Mormon?
* I have a funny feeling the guys who did this study were real uggoes.
