Want to look beautiful? Stand next to an unattractive friend.

Forget immaculate make-up or witty one-liners. The secret of seduction is as simple as standing next to your less attractive friend. Studies show that our judgments of people vary according to the company they keep. And if that company is less attractive, or dare we say it, ugly, the first person seems all the more appealing.

When I'm there I don't want to eat. Have you ever seen more freaky people in your life? My husband says he has nightmare's when he leaves that place.

I remember back In the early sixties that all of the smoking girls had ugly, fat, and generally genetic opt outs as friends. I never understood women, but on reflection I may.

Aw that never works. Why, every time I’d go out with an unattractive friend, he’d be the one hit upon.

Oh....wait...

That is why I married an ugly guy...well, that and so no other women would even bother to look at him, LOL! Actually, his looks don’t matter because he is my best friend and has a heart of gold!

Dr Little, a psychologist, told the British Science Festival: 'If you were just looking at Hugh Hefner's physical attractiveness you might not be that impressed with him.

'But as soon as you see him with beautiful women you might infer other traits, for instance, you might infer he is a multi-millionaire or charming or witty.


But, according to this article, the woman would become more beautiful by being seen with a crusty old fossil like Hef. If Hef becomes more attractive by being with the beautiful girl, then it would make the beautiful girl less attractive because now she's with someone who's attractive. But if the girl is now less attractive, that makes Hef more attractive, which makes the woman less attractive.

This is a normal woman who strolled by DNC headquarters.

Andy, are you are of an age when some friend set you up for a date with a girl who had a good personality? I have, when I was young, and most did not meet my requirement of long and slim with an a$$ like a young boy.

Found it, married it, didn't work out, my son followed the same strategy, half ridge runner though, seems to be working.

Interesting...

On this thread, "ugly" almost always means "fat" and "pretty" always means "large-breasted."

I don’t think they would have much use for an attractive, heterosexual woman at the DNC; she would detract from their stated “mission and purpose” ... better to have her proceed over to the RNC side of things!

Tough question.

He’s posting from “Sports By Brooks” which specializes in well-endowed sports casters.

Me, I like that French newscaster lady that gets posted here.

Don’t know her name.

A purported Jewess covered with tatoos.

Hope she doesn’t intend on getting buried in a Jewish cemetary.
