People who many people find attractive do not do very well at establishing stable relationships. A study confirms it.
It often happens that people we consider very attractive tend to be single for a long time, and we also notice that their relationships usually last very little. This study indicates that attractive people do not tend to have long-lasting stable relationships .
The study carried out by scientists from Harvard University affirms that the most attractive people tend to end their relationships much faster than those considered less attractive.
To find this statement, a group of women rated the attractiveness of people in various school yearbooks from the 1970s and 1980s, and then related their responses to the length of the people’s marriages in those yearbooks.
The results showed that those individuals who were rated as the most attractive had the shortest marriages .
To verify the results, the researchers used the same methodology but rating the attractiveness of famous people, relating it to the length of their marriages, and the results were the same.
The same was done with individuals who were rated as less attractive by the majority. It was found that the less attractive a person is, the relationships they form throughout their lives tend to last longer.
The results are related to previous research, which indicates that the more attractive a person is, the more likely they are to be unfaithful and to divorce a considerable number of times, since being more attractive, they have the potential to attract the attention of a greater number of people.

The researchers also indicated that the level of attractiveness is not the only factor and its relationship with the short duration of relationships as a couple is also influenced by the low satisfaction that individuals had with their partners, since attractive people tend to have a higher level of dissatisfaction in their relationships.
