In one study, people of either sex with below-average attractiveness had a 1.5-3x higher chance of remaining virgin during early adulthood compared to people of above-average attractiveness, however all 26 very unattractive guys in the study did have sex by the time they were around 28 years old,<ref name="haydon2013"></ref> and unattractive men | ** Being physically [[Uglyceldom|unattractive]].
