Shallow is a very turbulent mindset.

Based upon my experience, ugly people know they are ugly and are miserable, surly and bitter.

Jimmy Soul ...

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

George Castanza addressed this in Seinfeld, telling one of the applicants who was drop-dead beautiful, that she was completely and perfectly suited for the secretarial job, and that he would give anything to see her in underware, therefore, she could not have the job. He settled for an ugly one.

Stand up straight. Helen Gurley Brown said, only half joking, “After 40, it all comes down to posture.”

Tip of the day for Michelle O! ; ) Someone get that to her, please.

If you gave a lobotomy to Nancy, her eyes would point backwards and her nose would point upwards from her shoulders like the blowholes of a whale.

AND — it would be an improvement.

My father always told me that there was an inverse relationship between how attractive a woman is and how good she was in bed.

Ben Franklin noticed the same thing when he advised a young man to find bliss in the arms of an older woman, because...
‘They don’t swell, they don’t tell, and they are grateful as hell.’.

To this observation I add my own advice “they all look the same with the lights out.”

This is economics 101. He is essentially saying that attractiveness is an overpriced commodity. For most positions, I would tend to agree, although it may be worth the cost for certain positions with high visibility.

I'm ugly.

But I am constantly getting laid; my career is incredible; and animals are drawn to me.

Of course, my career choice is to be a gigalo for llamas, so......

That has not been my experience at all. At. All. I am often amazed at the difference self-confidence makes. Without it, a person with good features can seem surly and bitter. And with it, a person with poor features can nevertheless be a great personality, co-worker and friend. The quality of a person's heart and soul shines through their features.
