There’s nothing like a hunky man walking down the street to make you do a double-take or a perfectly chiseled jaw that makes you swipe right on Bumble. But the reality is, dating a guy that’s not conventionally attractive can have its perks as well. Back in high school, girls would often seek out the hot, popular guy, but as you’ve gotten older, you may have started to realize that finding someone genuine who really appreciates you for who you are is more important. Look around the room — there might even be one with eyes for you! Here are all the reasons why dating less conventionally attractive men can directly increase your happiness.
1.They’re not as hard to approach

Beauty is power, and some men panic when they see a stunning girl and are worried they’re out of her league. A woman instead makes plans on how to approach a good-looking man so that she’s not just another notch on his belt. Beauty really can add to discomfort when it comes to approaching somebody, but average-looking people are a lot easier and less intimidating to approach.
