"Ugly Bettys" ain't got nothing on conservative, white males. We don't even get a chance to be eliminated anymore.
Survival of the fitest. Always hang around those who are uglier, slower, and dumber than you.
My wife baits me as a decoy! I knew it...
Why haven’t all the ugos died out generations ago? Did our tastes just change? Say, since the invention of Hollywood?
This does not explain how a hideous hag like Helen Thomas has been around the WH for so long....... it’s certainly not due to competence or objectivity.
Does anyone remember the report, about a year ago, about some researchers who were studing animal mating behavior?
They found some female animals (gorillas?) who were very attractive to males and some that were considered very very unattractive. They covered the unattractive females with the scent of the attractive ones and put them in a pen - in the dark. The males mated with the unattractive females and when they found out what they had just done they attacked the researchers. It was a funny article but I can’t find it on google.
If you want to get really depressed, beauty over intelligence is nothing. Look at the ridiculous candidates we vote for. Now there’s a real downer.
I don’t know, Hollywood ‘lookers’ may be successful from a wealth standpoint, but many do not seem particularly happy. Most flit from relationship to relationship, never satified or content. This plain Jane wouldn’t trade places with Paris Hilton for all the money in her bank account. Not to overgeneralize, but the happiest people I know, with decent incomes and the longest relationships, are ordinary-looking folk. It is a myth perpetuated by Hollywood and Madison Avenue that gorgeous people have better lives and the rest of us are doomed to misery.
There is an old saying: Beauty is only skin deep while ugly goes clear to the bone.
There is a line in a movie called “Roger Dodger” which captures how I wish natural selection went, something to the effect of: give me the nastiest, harriest guy every time. If women were won through hair-pulling and carotid-artery-chopping, I’d give it my all. As it stands now, I lack the necessary motivation to make myself look more like a woman in order to attract more women.
The amusing thing is the actress who plays Ugly Betty isn’t ugly. She could lose some weight but she’s not ugly.
