Why gorgeous girls are happier with plain guys

He's had many an unkind comment about his looks when set against the radiant beauty of girlfriend Sienna Miller.

But Rhys Ifans seems likely to have the last laugh because psychologists reckon that happier marriages result from attractive women who wed uglier men.

And women who marry handsome men had better watch out. Men who saw themselves as better looking than their wives were more likely to be disgruntled and have negative feelings about their marriage, experts found.

The University of Tennessee study leaves 40-year-old Ifans set fair if, as expected, he marries 26-year-old Sienna this year, and it might also explain a few other couples such as Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas and Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller.

1. He's not the least bit ugly--he has nice eyes, in fact, and looks kind--

and the Daily Mail is a tabloid.

What a lot of superficial crap. I don't go for the super handsome men because they tend to be full of themselves.

2. He looks pretty good to me

Handsome guy.

3. So why the hell hasn't it worked for me?

I think the article/study may be false. Or maybe I'm just an ugly so and so. I will say that I'm 99% sure that I will never end up with a supermodel. And I am pretty sure I don't want to.

7. Danny Deckchair

Great movie.

(If you appreciate a transformation, this is the movie to see him in.)

8. He was hilarious...

in Notting Hill as the goofy roommate. I find him strangely sexy.

And if he treats her better than Jude Law and doesn't sleep around on her, then of course they'll be successful.

9. Nothing wrong at all with the way that guy looks.

He looks a little drunk, but I don't see anything wrong a good night's sleep, a shower and a shave couldn't fix.

10. The reverse of that old song...

"If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife."

11. Sparkly and Stinky

She's gorgeous ....... I'm the opposite ....... we're happy as clams.

How happy are clams?



Very.

They're always smiling.
