Study Reveals that Attractive Women Are "Doomed to Failure" in Relationships

When looking for a romantic partner there are a number of things different people consider.

Well, consider this – if a woman is more attractive than the man she is dating the relationship may be "doomed to failure."

According to a study reported recently by the Daily Mail, having an attractive boyfriend or husband is "no barrier to a relationship succeeding," but if a woman is more attractive than her partner the relationship may only last a few months.

The study examined the attractiveness of photos of men and women in more than 100 couples, some who had been together for just a few months and others for years.

The researchers argue that the study's results indicate that "it is the woman who is in control of whether the relationship continues."  Beautiful women, they say, can afford to "pick and choose" and "have the confidence to leave behind relationships that have run their course." Less attractive women, however, "may have to make do with what they have."

The researchers also noted that many relationships may end due to a man's jealousy. In fact, one of the researchers compared the study's findings to the song "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" that advises a man who is outshone by his woman to "watch your friends" as "everybody wants her, everybody loves her, everybody wants to take your baby home."

So, either beautiful women are shallow sluts who move from man to man, less attractive women are forced to settle for what comes their way, or men are so insecure and blinded by jealousy that a relationship with a beautiful woman would only last for a few months time.

Not a good outcome for anyone – except for those who date someone who is on their "own kind of level," which the researchers say would be your "ideal partner."

This study seems less-than-scientific and the glaring question that stands out for me is how the researchers defined beauty?

Beauty is highly subjective, which makes it impossible to define for a study such as this. What one person might find "beautiful," another might not which is why studies like this are so problematic. Not to mention the fact that personality, values, or intelligence don't factor into a relationships' success at all.

So what do you think? Is this study valid? Is a woman's attractiveness the main factor for determining a relationship's success? I certainly think not.
