Is it normal for ugly men to hit on cute girls?

This is completely normal. A guy builds up the confidence to approach a girl and she may turn him down, giving that guy the experience of failure.

Men hit on women 'out of their league' because it's better to take a leap than go home with the torture of not knowing.

Yeah, probably the same reason for you why it's mainly ugly males only hit on you, because they might actually be aiming at their "league", but you just believe your "league" is higher when it probably isn't, which is why the majority are ugly males. Just by your attitude alone I wouldn't even give you a five second glare, let alone a chance.

I know where your coming from even as male. I get older women "all the time" staring at me or attempting to flirt with me. I often think just wtf , what they think I'd return it and chose them over their gorgeous daughter or the hottie 1/2 their age often less , standing beside them or even sitting with me.
The mind just f'n boggles , I find it pretty insulting to be honest.

Delusion Is the word your looking for. I think space ghost is right about the self-esteem thing but I think some guys are already so full of it that they are deluded to think they can get any girl. These men don't usually respect females and see them as cattle. They think they have to charm and intellect to enchant said prey.

Some men don't believe in leagues, myself included. Why limit how many women a man can get by putting a barrier around them? I can understand where you are coming from, but like Space Ghost said, it helps satisfy the lust to a degree.

There used to rejection

Okay, I'm a guy, but I'll weigh in regardless (because I do that).

Personally, I used to be "really good looking" when I was younger, now I'm a 48 year old fat guy who's hair is falling out. In short, I'm now one of those "Ugly Guys". I own it - because lets face it, I can't bloody change how I look! (yes I know, I could lose weight, but seriously it isn't going to make that much difference)

I flirt with anyone. Put me in a social environment with a few drinks, and I'll chat up a table lamp. I don't care if you are 25, 55, related, lesbian, a drop dead gorgeous model, or someone who is "Particularly plain" - I have a flirtatious nature and I don't usually try and hide it.

That said, most of the time if my easy going flirtatious nature is misinterpreted as "hitting on" someone (and they either get offended or want to take things a little further), I'm quick to set the record straight - I'm also damn near a cripple, and to be frank a couple of hours of vigorous sex would probably put me in hospital begging for morphine.

Oddly enough, it's usually the younger and more attractive women who misinterpret my personality as "the creepy old guy is hitting on me", probably because more guys actually DO hit on those women.

In short, what I'm saying is that I believe a lot of the time these "old ugly guys" that you believe are "hitting on you" are just in fact being sociable, and because you believe yourself to be attractive you THINK they are after sex. If it bothers you, try a polite "Hey, you're a nice guy, and just so there are no misunderstandings, I'm not interested in you as anything other than a friend".

In any case, writing someone off because of their age or appearance is actually pretty shallow.

I agree on you partially.

But I don't think there should be such a thing as leagues but I admit I do feel rather weird if the guy that starts talking to me or hitting on me isn't attractive to me at all. But at the same time there are a lot of guys I've seen that I think are rather cute but they need the good personality to be cute.

I personally don't have too much in the way of personally preferences on looks. But it's only human to take risk.

I've also been attracted to guy older than me, and I can't say that I'll never marry a guy that is 10 years older than me. Just never know... But I'm saying that because I've never had a boyfriend and only have gone on dates so much times.

get off yur ass and hit on dudes. its hard. especially if you want a for real girl and not just a fuck.

you aren't all that. some people hit on every girl they see because it's a game of chance, and the more you do it the more likely that you will succeed. also, it could have something to do with how girls will give their number to anybody hoping to get a free meal or something out of it.

Not to be mean but... bitch

If i was you i would see them as a higher class of man
Its really hard for even some fit men to ask girls out it takes alot of confidence for seemingly ugly fat men to ask people out
But if i was in your position i would probebly turn them down also, just not as shallow as you made it seam

Usually I never disrespect women but you're a bitch. Sorry just calling it like I see it.

You won't be pretty for very long. I'm, going to carve your face off with a dull deer antler.

Well, here is the way I see it.

I am married to a man that is 7 years older than me. He is still very youthful looking and attractive and still has a youthful outlook on life and a youthful attitude. Therefore, those 7 years really don't bother me that much, and they didn't when he was hitting on me. It's really not all about age, if you're attracted to someone, you're attracted to them, if not, you're not. Age correlates, but it's ultimately about whether or not you find someone attractive.

My final word on the subject: Doesn't creep me out or bother me unless they are very persistent even though I've already stated that I am married or with someone or would prefer someone younger etc. (I find it disrespectful), I can still say no. Although I'll be completely honest, I do find it more flattering when it comes from men that I believe are attractive. I gotta give them props for knowing that you gotta play a game to win it ;)

I have to kind of agree with ItDuz somewhat, I mean at least the way you worded this reads as if you greatly exaggerate how you look. You also kind of contradict yourself by saying its not all about looks at all, right after ranting about guys who arent in your "league" talking to you.

If they're rich

First of all I'm a straight guy (who is very good looking btw :D) and let me tell you this, guys are not supposed to be beautiful\handsome from an evolutionary stand point, as long as they can provide protection to the girl by being strong\rich\and having high status that's all it takes, but girls on the other hand should be beautiful (wide hips, nice breasts, and pretty face)
