YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A new study shows attractive people have more trouble staying together. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"A series of studies has concluded that better-looking people’s relationships seem to break down sooner than the averagely attractive.

So if you only ever seem to have short-term relationships, you can at least take comfort in the fact that it could simply be because you’re just too beautiful.

It’s been suggested that the reason the attractive people’s relationships tend to break down quicker is that “they take greater interest in alternative partners, especially when dissatisfied in their current relationship,” the British Psychological Society writes.

In a new study titled ‘Attractiveness and relationship longevity: Beauty is not what it is cracked up to be,’ Harvard University researchers asked two women to rate the attractiveness of 238 men in their high school yearbook pictures (at the age of 17 or 18).

The date was from two schools in different areas - one working class, the other more privileged.

The researchers then turned to Ancestry to find out whether the men had been divorced or married at all over the following 30 years.”*
