You’ve probably seen couples where the guy is pretty average, but the girl looks like she’s straight out of a fashion magazine. And the first thought that comes to mind is: "He must be rich!" Well, why not? As they say, a beautiful woman is a status symbol. But before you celebrate your luck, let’s take a look at what scientists have to say.
You’ve probably seen couples where the guy is pretty average, but the girl looks like she’s straight out of a fashion magazine. And the first thought that comes to mind is: "He must be rich!" Well, why not? As they say, a beautiful woman is a status symbol. But before you celebrate your luck, let’s take a look at what scientists have to say.
A study conducted at Harvard University, led by Dr. Christine Ma-Kellams, revealed some interesting yet somewhat alarming results. The research examined the personal lives of 658 people who were "stars" in school and university—popular, good-looking, and attractive to the opposite sex. And guess what? Most of them struggled with long-term relationships: many had been divorced, and frequent partner changes were their norm.
The answer, according to scientists, is quite simple: overly attractive people just aren’t used to working on relationships. Yes, if you think building a strong partnership is easy, you’re very wrong. Relationships are not only about romance and good times but also about commitments, responsibility, and compromise. And that’s where the problems arise. Attractive people, feeling constant attention from others, aren’t afraid of being alone. After all, there’s always someone waiting around the corner to express their feelings.
But that’s not all. Such people tend to seek something "better," and as cliché as it sounds, "the grass is always greener on the other side." They often find themselves in a never-ending search for the perfect partner, constantly doubting that their current choice is the best. The result? Disappointment, divorces, and repeated failures.
Of course, it’s unfair to say that all attractive people make bad partners. There are exceptions: a beautiful woman or man can be a loyal, caring, and reliable partner. But, as the same scientists assert, these cases are much rarer than we would like. So if you’re planning a serious relationship with someone who turns heads wherever they go, be prepared to face some challenges.
Should you now avoid all attractive women and settle for someone "simpler"? Of course not. Scientists are merely suggesting that if you’re looking for serious, long-term relationships, appearance shouldn’t be the primary criterion for choosing a partner. It’s important to find someone with whom it’s easy to build a future, not just someone who looks good in photos.
And the good news: science hasn’t yet banned short-term flings with beautiful people!
So, if you’ve landed a "two-meter blonde with a great body," live in peace. Just remember that a long and happy life together requires not only beauty but also the ability to build a strong relationship.
