Women who marry ugly men are happier in love.

A full-body photo was taken of each subject, who was rated on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of facial and body attractiveness.

The researchers also gave questionnaires to women that were focused on their willingness to diet and get in shape.

Some of the statements presented were: “I feel extremely guilty after eating,” “I like my stomach to be empty,” and “I am terrified of gaining weight.”

The study's results were dubbed "Beauty and the Beast"—women were happier when they were in relationships with men who weren't genetically blessed. These partners compensated with acts of kindness, including gifts, compliments, or housework.

According to the Esquire UK “Husbands seemed fundamentally more committed, more interested in pleasing their wives when they felt they were getting a good deal.”

Meanwhile, it was discovered that women who had husbands who were genetically blessed and gifted with great beauty were more likely to become obsessed with exercise and dieting in an effort to be thin and fit into society's 'standard'.

"The results reveal that having a physically attractive husband can have negative consequences for wives, especially if those wives are not particularly attractive," said Tania Reynolds, a doctoral student in psychology at FSU.

So, the study concluded that women who date 'uglier' men are happier.

Repercussion on the web

Since the study was published, a huge backlash has taken over social media. Many people have commented on the matter. The comments were as varied as possible. Many users made fun of the situation and called themselves "ugly men" and that for this reason they deserved a beautiful girlfriend, as they would make her the happiest woman on the planet. Some even tagged their friends and said, "Date me, because I'm ugly and I'll know how to make you happy."
