Debates sparked as beautiful women who date ugly men trends, Mzansi reacts

In a similar story, Briefly News reported on the recent trend about beautiful women who date ugly men after a Twitter user opened the floodgates when they tweeted on the subject recently.

@TomiRikhotso's post instigated an avalanche of reactions from Mzansi's relationship-savvy public as opposing views filled up the comments section. The mini thread read:

"When a beautiful woman is in a relationship with an ugly guy it’s not always that she’s after money, right?
"Sometimes, that’s her type of guy or she’s not after looks but love and connection, am I right?
"I’ve got this very beautiful friend she doesn’t date pretty guys she says they turn her off. The uglier you are the more she wants you."
