Ever gone to a party and, for some reason you can't fathom, end up getting macked on by the most unfortunate guy in the room? Your makeup is picture perfect, your hair is bangin', and your cleavage is out and ready to rumble, and yet you get Sleezy McUgly face slathering cheesy pick ups and come-ons all over you--what gives? Doesn't this d-bag get that you're not interested?

Scientists say that maybe he doesn't care. 

The latest report from MSNBC says that men, despite their possibly unfortunate looks, are more likely to try and date women that they know are too hot for them.

Using HotorNot.com, the study (which already sounds super-scientific) says that men are (MUCH) more likely to judge a woman based solely on her physical features, yet somehow less likely to believe that their own physical flaws should stand in the way of a "hot date".

Thanks, MSNBC, for confirming something the rest of us have known for years.

The real question lies in why the hell men are so incredibly illogical why men behave this way to begin with. Some of the researchers said the media didn't help:

Maybe men think women have all read "The Frog Prince" and taken it to heart, allowing us to look past an ugly exterior in the search for inner beauty. Or perhaps it’s that men have internalized the messages in the popular media: movies like "Knocked Up," where the slacker hero lands a beautiful babe, or TV shows like "According to Jim," in which a difficult, slobby guy is coupled with a gorgeous wife.

But then some said that many of these men accepted their unfortunate-looks, and were merely trying to "hedge their bets" by asking more women. Or that they know they are hitting on someone way too hot for them, but are merely doing it so they can high-five their buds at the keg and say "Yeah man, I totally talked to her!" Basically, men are so complex, that the article seems to have no idea why exactly they do it, they just know that it happens. And that it sucks. And that women often don't go for it, because, since they're the ones having the baby (on a biological, subconcious sense), they have to be more picky.

So next time you're at that party, maybe have a little pity on Sleeze-o. He may not really know why he's being such an assh*le, but he's been brainwashed by the media. Or maybe he isn't, and you should slap him. Who the hell knows?
