Why We Like Ugly Men

In recent years, the world has been going crazy for Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston. Their, let's say, extraordinary appearance is valued no less than acting. One captivated hundreds of hearts, playing Sherlock Holmes in the series of the same name, and continues to drive girls crazy, just appearing on the red carpet. Another gained incredible popularity among the ladies, having played a completely negative role in the film "Thor", and then struck down on the spot in "High-rise". So what's the secret?

Demeanor and mind

In the world of cinema, there are enough examples when men with peculiar appearance became incredibly popular. Take Rowan Atkinson, beloved by many Mr. Bean. He is known all over the world, but unlike Cumberbatch or Hiddleston, he is not mistaken for a sex symbol. It is logical to assume that the point here is in the role. Benedict plays an esthete, not deprived of intelligence and taste, and Rowan is a clumsy fool. The first time you see Cumberbatch on the screen, you think: “Wow! What a ugly one!”, And in half an hour you dream of being with him on a desert island. His manner of speaking, behaving with people (albeit often and abruptly), sharp language and deep reflections on anything turn an unsympathetic guy into an ideal of beauty. This is how easily the inner world, upbringing and restraint can cover external flaws.

Style

By style we mean the general manner of looking: how well certain things suit him, how neat he is, whether he knows how to wear his clothes. The more a man looks organically in his style, the more he will be attractive to us. Have you noticed how often handsome men are frightened off, but dressed, for example, not for their age, and how easily we forgive the external unattractiveness of stylish guys? Think of Vincent Cassel. His heroes in films cannot be called positive or beautiful, he almost always plays scoundrels, so there is no need to talk about the love of fans because of the roles, but his passion for well-fitting costumes has done its job.

Charisma

This mysterious word turns any man, even the most unattractive, into an object of female fantasies. What is hidden behind this very charisma? Any special personality trait, communication skills, incredible charm, or what? It is difficult to say what exactly distinguishes charismatic people from those whom nature has not awarded this gift, but they are definitely on different steps. Take at least Javier Bardem without any special style or expressive image, but there is something in him that is just "Ah!"

Masculinity

A good quality that, in theory, every representative of the strong half of humanity should have. Unfortunately, not everyone has this necessary attribute of attractiveness. Where are the males who are ready to turn the world upside down for the sake of a woman and will do anything to protect their beloved? It seems to us that Daniel Craig is definitely courageous (it is not for nothing that he became the most popular and most brutal 007 agent in the history of the franchise), which means that he is attractive, despite all his appearance flaws.

Humanity

Love for children, charity, kindness, ability to listen, empathize - all these qualities are definitely attractive. A callous blockhead, albeit with the body of Apollo, will not become an ideal companion in life, but even a slightly plump balding philanthropist, who infects by his own example with faith in goodness, can become an ideal partner. And nothing human is alien to women!
