In today's episode of "women love ugly dudes, you are just an incel"

DelDivision · 2025-04-17T22:23:48+00:00

Known as in his ugliness gave him status? Are going to say the majority of men at that level of uglyness have women

champion_azure · 2025-04-17T23:49:16+00:00

Are you say that this fellow would be just as successful in a western country? How many of them women in this sub would be interested in Mr Baguma?

DelDivision · 2025-04-17T22:44:29+00:00

You know what this reminds me of....articles of billionaire's humble beginnings that get pumped out to reinforce the American dream is real and is achievable for everyone lol

Helpful_Help_9329 · 2025-04-17T22:11:29+00:00

Everything is relative.

Being ugly and broke in Uganda isn't a death sentence like being ugly and broke in New York City.

BrianMcTill · 2025-04-17T22:12:31+00:00

How do you know he is "dirt poor"? Don't know much about Uganda's dating market but I know it is not the richest country in the world, if you make a little money maybe you are already good. I did a quick search and on "local" forums locals mentioned the word "money" multiple times. He is utilising his ugliness and very likely making much more money than an average man there, he said to be a "national curiosity". Also a few more quotes from Ugandan websites: "...Godfrey chose to use his newfound platform for good..." (well... you know...), "...performing for audiences across Uganda...".

To me it sounds like he is making way above average (which is probably still nothing in western world standards).

Ok_Wishbone3535 · 2025-04-17T22:40:11+00:00

TL;DR - He's famous for being ugly, being famous is attractive. The unknown everyday person with similar deformities will most likely have a very hard time dating.

I'm guessing he got popular for his ugliness. Fame is a sexual attractor. He's known. He has status. Not much worth in the west, but in Uganda... being famous? That'll probably get you women. Ask any average everyday person that was unfortunately born with physical defects how their romance life has been. I'd bet money the overwhelming majority of those with similar deformities struggle when dating.

Good_Result2787 · 2025-04-17T23:15:34+00:00

I don't really go in for oppression olympics for various reasons. I do think a lot of younger people in the dating market today are more interested in complaining or not wanting to work at it, however.

That said... I also think that someone can do everything right and still lose. A relationship is built on two people, and you can only control yourself. There could very well be circumstances that just mean that some people are alone despite effort.

I say all of this as a disabled guy who has had dating challenges in the past but didn't, to my estimation, find it to be particularly troublesome and mostly even fun. But, I'm aware that when it comes to interpersonal dynamics, one can still lose out.

Teflon08191 · 2025-04-17T22:19:51+00:00

Have you considered the differences in culture between Uganda and the West, and how those differences might utterly undermine the point you're trying to make?

I mean, I get it. Saying one's 'ugliness' is what holds them back is primarily a coping mechanism, but lets not pretend if you plopped this guy in the West his story would be the same.

Independent-Mail-227 · 2025-04-18T01:38:23+00:00

Survivorship bias is not a decent form of argumentation since it ignores all the other equal examples that don't fit the premise being made.

Popular-Cabinet-3039 · 2025-04-18T18:19:49+00:00

Being “The World’s _____est Man” carries with it status. And in terms of sheer numbers, it exposes him to many more women than he otherwise would be.

This isn’t rocket science.

Clean-Luck6428 · 2025-04-17T21:32:13+00:00

Ugh don’t give passport bros more ammunition. FYI birth rate in Uganda is 4.5 births per woman

ArtifactFan65 · 2025-04-17T23:09:13+00:00

Just because he has a family doesn't mean they love and respect him.

Proudvow · 2025-04-18T05:16:58+00:00

Uganda =/= the first-world.

Nobody says there's a male loneliness epidemic in literal Uganda.

Anyway the article says this dude achieve a whole bunch of stuff which an average man probably wouldn't be able to.

DaaverageRedditor · 2025-04-19T14:45:43+00:00

He isn't even that ugly.

I'm serious i've seen much worse looking people online labeled "Ugliest man in the world".

He somehow has ugly facial features that just make it so you look at his forehead which isn't that bad.

I would even rate him a 2/10. Chad forehead somehow.

MongoBobalossus · 2025-04-17T21:59:02+00:00

This isn’t going to go over well with the “it over” crowd obsessing over their dick size and recessed maxilla.

Dertross · 2025-04-18T01:14:40+00:00

There is a clear correlation between the ability to acquire romantic relationships and LMS.

Congrats, you discovered the status component. Most men don't have "#1 in the world" to boast about.

The men who have the most trouble getting women are typically located somewhere a standard deviation to the left of the attractiveness bell curve, with normal to introverted interests. Attractive men are still interested in having easy casual sex with those men's looksmatch (passable women), while ugly women will probably settle for a looksmatch with an ugly male.

Being excellent at a bad thing is still being excellent.

People can find someone to date or marry them.

The point of contention is whether or not the effort required of an individual to attract a partner is worth it in their opinion considering how closely their prospective partner aligns with their preferences.

soyspagetti · 2025-04-17T21:52:59+00:00

You can’t look at 1 person who broke all known causal relationships, and tell 99 people that they “have no excuse”. It’s not appropriate. You can say it’s a leftist life philosophy - it is, but at least it’s a statistically literate and logically coherent life philosophy.

AhmadMansoot · 2025-04-17T21:44:00+00:00

Ted Bundy got thousands of women lusting after him. The average guy is never gonna have a date with a woman if she knew he killed 10 women. Almost as if being world famous makes it easier to find the 5 women that find you attractive despite your obvious flaws.

It doesn't count if she's not attracted to you, and his wives definitely aren't attracted to him.

Ok_Wishbone3535 · 2025-04-17T22:37:17+00:00

The exception doesn't make the rule...

YuYuHakusho23 · 2025-04-18T01:07:25+00:00

Get this bullshit out of here. Clearly if the dude was in America or not a third world country he’d be fucked.
