You're right, she does

I'll throw in my two cents. Having lived in Boston my whole life I can tell you women like this are a dime a dozen up here. Now there are plenty of woman that aren't like this (I married one) and they are easy to find and meet. The Kaslin types live their lives like the show “Sex and the City”, serial dating always looking for something better. I have even dated these type myself. But...no guy ever takes them seriously and no-one would ever be foolish enough to marry them. In their twenty's and early thirty's they think they're gods gift to the world and that there is always something better waiting on the next corner. Once they start approaching 40 however they get desperate and pathetic. They start wondering, where are have all the good men gone?

If Kate Bolick is "kinda homely" then I must have been whomped really hard with the homely stick. I'm certainly not as well-favored with "looks" as she is.

But her looks cannot really be ascribed to "homeliness"--- what you see is the unhappiness. Or, in truth, the unhappy combination of disappointment + resentment + funk.

You can look at somebody who's frankly ugly as a stump, and who is further burdened with age, illness, and sorrow too, and still see someone who attracts you and gives you joy though you can't say why.

It's the inner thing. Seen by those who love you, with inner eyes.

She posed for the cover of a national magainze looking like THAT?

Hey honey. Brush the hair out of your face - smile - and you will look 100 percent prettier.

Of course she’ll still have the internal emotional baggage problems, but she could at least make an easy start by how she looks.
