Beauty, Love... Which one needs the other most?

[vagabond]

no need to apologize for competition, i didn´t blame anything. but really, do you think the beautiful (in the way you interpret it) pairs are happier than the ugly ones as a rule? i do not think so. there´s so much more criteria than looks.

Happiness is short lived, and therefore exists in every relationship for some time. But broadly (I should write an agony column):

1. Beautiful - beautiful. The alpha-alpha pairing. Goes on for a long time, but because male ageing has relatively fewer downsides, ends in a messy divorce at 55. Still, great while it lasts.
2. Ugly man - beautiful woman: the best combination, as the ugly bloke pulls out all stops to keep his girl happy, and the girl's already made up her mind once, so not complaining.
3. Ugly woman - handsome man: huge insecurity on the part of the woman, or a complete lack of self awareness. Also, the male wrongly thinks he has a free pass to sow his seed in 25 year old Agatha. Doomed.
4. Ugly man - ugly woman: Both think they're hotter than the other. Ego conflicts, but they stay together because neither has any better options.

yeah you got the statistics down well. 
but statistics can never predict the future. 
i think they´re pretty useless for forming relationships and sometimes even harmful. 
like when they suggest to the "ugly" person that he/ she should either pull out all stops to keep the partner happy or that he/ she doesn´t match the partner´s looks and therefore doesn´t deserve him/ her or when they suggest that the "beautiful" should search for better matching partners. 

i agree to the truth in the statistics, don´t get me wrong, it´s all somehow based in instincts, i just think having this knowledge and judgement in the forefront of one´s mind might narrow down the ability to love one another.
