Physical attractiveness of husbands is not as important to women, the researchers suggest. Rather, wives are looking for supportive husbands, they say. So it seems the mismatch in looks is actually a perfect match. Jeanna is the editor-in-chief of Live Science. Previously, she was an assistant editor at Scholastic's Science World magazine.

A less attractive guy won't mess around on you because he's just not built that way. Plus, he's most likely so happy that you even considered dating out of your league, that he wouldn't ever consider cheating. When you date an unattractive guy, you'll more than likely feel safe and secure -- and that means never worrying about the nanny.
What he lacks in looks, he will more than make up for in bed. Trust me. Some of the best sex I've ever had was with average-looking dudes. Multiple positions, good shower sex because you know that rarely exists , tons of orgasmic oral. These guys brought their A-game every single time. Maybe they both happened to be a couple of sex gods, but chances are they were work-work-working hard to please me, the Rihanna to their Drake.
It makes sense. If an unattractive guy wants to keep you fulfilled in your relationship not to mention keep you, period , then that means keeping you fulfilled in the bedroom. Hey, we're human. Sometimes dating an unattractive person will make you realize that having a partner who physically turns your crank is vitally important to you.
Or it might make you realize that certain aspects are essential, like, say, a sense of humor. The study, published in the Psychological Science journal, could help explain the mystery of why so many men think women are interested in them when in fact they are not, researchers said.

Meanwhile, the researchers took DNA from the participants' mouths and brought it to a lab for testing. Specifically, they wanted to compare their major histocompatibility complexes, which are immune-system genes. The researchers found that the more similar a couple's MHCs were, the less attracted the participants were to their partners and the more likely they were to have had sex outside the relationship.
At the same time, one study also found that we avoid partners who smell too different from us. Research suggests that dishonesty is a major turn-off for both men and women. For a study from the University of Western Ontario, participants read blurbs about men and women who were described as either intelligent or unintelligent, dependent or independent, and honest or dishonest. Participants then rated the people they had read about on several criteria, including how much they liked them and how attractive they were.
As it turns out, honesty was the only trait out of the three to have a substantial effect on ratings of attractiveness and likability. For a study , researchers recruited more than heterosexual young women in Belgium to look at photos and bios of young men.
Results showed that men whose bios indicated they smoked frequently were considered less attractive than nonsmokers and occasional smokers — especially if the men were being considered for a long-term relationship. As for drinking, occasional drinkers were rated as more attractive than nondrinkers and frequent drinkers when they were being considered for both short- and long-term relationships. Immodesty can kill romance — at least according to a study from researchers at Hope College and the University of North Texas.
In two experiments, researchers had about mostly heterosexual undergrads read descriptions and personality assessments of a hypothetical fellow student. The descriptions varied — some said, "I'm a pretty good student, but not a bookworm. Other people say I'm smart, but I don't like the attention," while others said, "I'm a really good student and pretty smart, but definitely not a nerd or bookworm.
I guess it just comes naturally. When the student appeared highly humble, the undergrads were more likely to want to start a relationship with them. A paper , published by researchers at the University of California at Merced and California State University at Stanislaus, suggests that our political views influence whom we find attractive.
For the study, which was conducted during the presidential election, about US adults indicated whether they identified more strongly with the Democratic Party or Republican Party. Then, participants looked at a photo and brief bio of a person of the opposite gender.
In some cases, the bio indicated whether the person supported Democratic candidate Barack Obama or Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Female Democrats found the man pictured much more attractive when he was an Obama supporter and much less attractive when he was a Romney supporter.
