The reason is simple. Humans like to draw distinctions. No matter what standard of beauty was attainable by humans, say every woman was Nicole Kidman grade, and every man was whatever the equivalent would be, soon we would find that some looked better than others.

It’s just the way we are.

On the bright side, we all look wonderful to out dogs, and also to our cats, at least when the can-opener is running.

A long-standing thorn in the side of biologists has been the difficulty in accounting for the enormous variation between individuals when sexual selection by females for the most attractive mates should quickly spread the “best” genes through a population.

That's either stupid journalism or stupid biology. The selective pressures for choosing a man for a mate are different in various places around the world.

US and the civilized world: Attractiveness and money

Africa and Middle East: Can he shoot well enough to protect me? or ideally: Is he from the civilized world?

I've had to tell soooo many women that just because they desire to breed with me, their children are not destined to become an Adonis or a Venus.

It's all in the chips as they fall.

A new study explains why we aren't all born with Brad Pitt’s perfectly chiseled features or Angelina Jolie’s pouty lips.

This is probably as good of a place as any to ask. Whhat is the big deal about Angelina Jolie?!? I mean, I don't find her ugly, but I most certainly don't find her attractive either. She's an average looking woman for her age. And this is coming from a guy with a soft spot for dark-haired women.

Even more disturbing to me is the reaction of women I bring this up to. These are otherwise perfectly straight chicks who become borderline lesbiotic when you bring up Angelina. "Oh Jeff! She's is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!" I'm sorry. Anna Kournakova is beautiful. Julia Louis Dreyfuss is beautiful. Jolie ain't.

But were Brad and Angeline actually born with their perfect looks? LOL

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

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

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you’ll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she’ll always give you peace of mind

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

[Sax solo]

Don’t let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don’t match
Take it from me, she’s a better catch

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

[Spoken:]
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an’ she’s ug-leeee!
Yeah, she’s ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

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

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

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

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

I know why we’re not all beautiful without running any tests.

Age.

We prize youth.

Soon, there will be even fewer beautiful and sexy people because aliens are coming to abduct all the good looking people.

You will be safe.

I just wanted to say good bye.

Females don’t pick the best males, unfortunately. The females of the animal kingdom do a much better job of male picking than we do.
Well, at least a great deal of us.

And Angelina Jolie’s lips are gross.

I ran across the ugliest woman I EVER saw in a grocery store the other day. She had two kids with her and I pleasantly said “ Lady, are those kids twins?” She said, (overjoyed) “NO. Why? Do you think they look alike?” I said “No. I just can’t imagine you got laid twice.”

[ryan71]

Why we’re not all beautiful?

Money. Men pick beauty. Women pick survival.

Pretty women will stay with an ugly man if he has money.

And before there was money, it was the ugly guy with lots of arrowheads and the longest spear.

An interesting observation I have made over the years here in Washington is when I am at the malls and observe the people walking around those at the mall in the affluent city of Bellevue I notice the people tend to be good looking, they dress nice, and the number of extremely overweight people is few and far between. But in Tacoma 20 miles to our south an industrial town with a much lower average income, the people walking around the mall are just plain uglier, they dress trashy and there are allot of extremely overweight people. Kids walking around looking like gangsta-wanta-be’s are also prevalent.

Hurts me to say that too, because I was born in Tacoma. I think there may be something to this peacock theory. Thankfully I married a bellevue girl.
