The U-G-L-Y Truth: Poll Results

Last week I posted a blog entitled "The U-G-L-Y Truth." If you haven't read it or need a refresher please click the link to go back and check it out. But if you read it already then you recall that I asked readers to take a quick poll. Well the results are in and I will be posting them below in a second.

Basically the entire post was to just disprove the saying that some people use "Looks don't matter at all." In the post I simply wanted to make a case that they do matter and that someone's looks do play a factor into your initial attraction to them. Although many other factors can and will come into play, I simply wanted to Keep It Real. We all know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder; therefore, each person is different in what attracts them to someone. Well I pretty much put a poll out there just to see if the readers would choose someone that is considered attractive over someone that is considered less attractive. I want to thank the readers that came by and participated in the voting. Of course the number of voters weren't astronomical, but it was enough to still prove my point. So, here are the results [listed in percentages of the total votes received].

Which Would You Prefer to Date? ______________________________
Grace Jones 26%

OR

Beyonce 74%
______________________________________

Morris Chestnut 100%

OR
Shabba Ranks 0%
__________________________________________
Amy Winehouse 15%

OR

Angelina Jolie 85%
__________________________________________
George Clooney 91%

OR

Carrot Top 9%
_______________________________________
T.I. 100%

OR

Craig Mack 0%
_______________________________________
Anthony Mason 23%

OR

Allen Iverson 77%
_____________________________

All in all as you can see the people with the most votes tended to fall into the more attractive category. Some people got totally shut out like Craig Mack and Shabba Ranks. However, there were a few people that received more votes than I anticipated. For instance, Grace Jones was the top vote getter of the less attractive people. But in the end the poll did prove that when given the choice of being able to date someone more attractive vs. less attractive, that the majority of people will choose the more attractive person. I know some were saying that the selections I made for voting were unfair and 2 extreme opposites of the attractiveness spectrum. However, I had to do that in order to prove my point. So, I want to thank everyone for voting, commenting and Keeping it Real!!

Miss Definitely Maybe said...

poor shabba ranks
but interesting results all the same
I was just wondering if the results would look different if you put a handsome not so rich dude against an ugly filthy rich bloke etc....im jus wondering at what point does money overtake looks in the eligibility scales.....

Beautifully.Conjured.Up said...

LOL...this makes total sense. I never fell for that "looks don't matter" crap, for in order for me to see your personality, I have to first look at your face {prior to me even getting to know you}.

Then again, if you have money like Bill Gates, the rules could always change :)

Darius T. Williams said...

truth be told i was taught and have learned beauty is only sin/skin deep. it is held in the heart - me ex is gourgeous - but has an ugly heart - and the heart and actions is all i see

happy nappy holidays folk

desirae! said...

damn. they did shabba wrong.

SHABBA!!!

Unknown said...

Interesting but not surprising results. Bit of an unfair spectrum but your point was interesting.
Aside from Morris your winners circle is all light skin in color...

CC Solomon said...

I am surprised that some of the "undersireables" got any votes at all! I mean Amy Whinehouse over Angelina Jolie? Did Jennifer Aniston vote?

Kofi Bofah said...

Let's not be naive. Looks do matter.

I am wondering if some people skewed your poll trying to be funny or whatever.

T. Michelle Theus said...

lol...looks are definitely a factor but for me personally I'd pick a great personality over a pretty boy any day =p
