For a man to be with a woman who is less attractive and not genuine than a woman who is attractive and genuine
simply because he has trust issues and is afraid the more attractive woman will cheat and go behind his back?

.. such a man would have to be a dog

Anonymous, I think your question is a bit contradictory. You see, saying a woman is attractive and "genuine" would mean (at least to me) that she is genuine enough not to cheat on her man, right? Now if that's the case, then the answer to your question is most definately "No". It is not possible simply because of the fact that any man who knows his woman, and knows she is extremely attractive and has a heart of gold, would not waste his time (or hers for that matter) with one who is far less attractive in his eyes and cheats on him.

Having said that, if we were to assume that the answer to your question was "Yes" (hypothetically of course), then I would have to agree with "Ms Mgmt". It is not an issue of trust, such a man would be blind not to see how fortunate he is to have a woman of worth by his side.

It is possible. And it does happen, except that the men in this case turn out to be insecure, blind, self centred idiots who don't know anything about their "unattractive" woman, but then that is how an insecure, blind, self centred human being would is.

U yet skelim.

J.A.W and others the man in this case was hurt in a previous relationship and had problem trusting women afterward.I can see why he would feel a less attractive non-genuine and insecure woman would be safer IE:He wouldn't have much to worry about like men coming onto her but what he fails to realize is there are women more attractive that are genuine that wouldn't hurt him.Every attractive,beautiful and genuine woman is NOT his ex.

Can I ask you a question, Anonymous?

I'm reading here that you are directly involved in this relationship, right?

But you see friend, any man who is going out with a "less attractive non-genuine and insecure woman" just to play it safe would be selling himself short.

If a man had a sweet honey by his side whom he knew was "da bomb" (in every respect), he wouldn't have to worry about other men coming onto his baby gurl - because he would know in his heart that she wouldn't go for it. Furthermore, any respectable man who sees himself as a gentleman would not compare his previous relationships with his current squeeze.

If its TRUE LOVE, as posted in another board, i.e.Truthfulness/Compassion/Tolerance there should be no fear. Because man would know woman has him in her body/soul n mind and there is no space for anyone else. Woman would know that man knows how much he means to her, regardless of what hurts they've both been thru previously. Now, if man, in this case is feeling so insecure that he has to hang onto this "unattractive non-genuine" woman than thats his tough luck! I don't think any "attractive genuine" woman would want an insecure man who lives in the past and compares her with the past.
