Is there a difference between ugly and unattractive?

Question

Is there a difference between ugly and unattractive?

Answer 1

Yes.

I know some beautiful people who are ugly on the inside.

Attractiveness, as far as I am concerned is not associated with looks.

Answer 2

I'd say so, an "ugly" person is usually "ugly" because of their face and/or facial features, where as and "unattractive" person can be considered "unattractive" for almost anything, their personality, the way they act, their body shape or size, even their bad hygiene.

Answer 3

For example;

Some of the girls on here are unattractive.

The girl in my class that doesn't shower is ugly.

Answer 4

Yes, in my opinion being ugly is worse than being unattractive.  Unattractive means just not beautiful, so usually average.

Answer 5

I think ugly is worse.

Unattractive to me is like ya i don't think your good looking but its not like horrible.

Answer 6

Uglys when you hate to see it , or it makes you sick.. unattractive well you can always find something attractive in anyone...   Right??

Answer 7

yeahh i'd say soo.

ugly just means you know ugly.

andd unattractive is just not attractive at the moment. like they would be good for someone else or they just don't look good right now.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
