You know who I am talking about those Women in their early to mid 20’s who lets be honest are really attractive but think they should be handed everything on a silver platter because of how good they look.
They should really be hitting the books and focus on getting a decent career instead of sleeping with the who’s who,parading around in next to nothing ,and obsessing over their bodies…you can only pose in senseless magazines and worthless competitions for so long my dear.
Why?
Inevitably your body will fail you and you will grow old, and no amount of bot ox or form of plastic surgery will be there to get you back to where you were….and as men will look for something more younger you will have wasted your time and more or less have nothing to your name…just a piece of you thats basically a hallway that a hot dog can be thrown down.
This being said if you’ve managed to do this and get a degree as well kudos to you! —Billllly

Sometimes, I feel bad for the younger generation growing up, but LOOKS is all they have. They think that will get them through life. Living the life of Riley (live for the moment) till it all falls apart, with nothing to fall back on.
Get a degree or a trade, please.
I have a degree/trade and it hasn’t really done me *that* much good because I’m fucking ugly. Wish I were pretty, it’s statistically proven that they get further in life: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-…
Well then, sounds like someone is jealous. Besides, fucking Halifamous DJ’s is where it’s at, and when you accompany them to Chevy’s in Truro, it’s the equivalent of being a world traveler. Emerse yourself in the culture, dog. Everything lasts forever.
Can’t fault you for honesty… reminds me of the commercial of a cute steno chatting all day to b/f, friends, with no work getting done. Don’t go by looks alone.
I for one want to hear more about these robot oxen. But seriously, don’t let the Blaines and Skylars of the world get you down. Why do you care? You make your choices in life and you live with them, let the pretties do the same
I’m seeing the other side of this now – some of my friends who depended so heavily on their looks are now struggling to cope with their ‘Baby Jane’ faces – it’s not a nice thing to wish on anyone, OP. Very few of these women adjust, still trying to cover up Father Time with makeup, hair dye et al while others will mourn their lost looks until they breath their last. No matter which way you slice it, it’s downright pitiful.
THROW DOWN THAT HOT DOG!
“… just a piece of you thats (sic) basically a hallway that a hot dog can be thrown down.” Billlly
What we have here is a serious case of organ mismatch. As a result, after its been thrown down the hallway, the hot dog will not bounce off the walls but it will just keep on going without without loss of velocity. Is there a door at the end of the hallway? If its open, will the hot dog continue on its path and just keep on going? Is there no end to this story? Is that the philosophical subtext?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
hasn’t anyone heard of kegels?
Lessons harshly learned, eh op?
Your spelling of botox and charming use of ‘more younger’ gave it away.
Also, I think another lesson people should learn is not to take a slice of overheard conversation and balloon it into a full psychological profile on anyone. There are lots of people out there like this, men and women. But to assume that every girl who talks about who her bff is sleeping with is not necessarily a useless airhead. Everybody needs to blow off some intellectual steam now and again.
Also you neglected to give the same warning to jackass, dick-waving me. Which is also shallow, shortsighted and ridiculously unfair.
So fair warning. If you don’t develop a personality and character, you will be a sagging 45 year old with the congeniality of a wet carrot. But don’t assume that just because someone isn’t always using their brain it means they don’t have one.
Interesting article, jgoreham, but I’m skeptical. I do agree that hotties seem to be more successful than average joes and uglies, but it seems to be just because of their looks, not because they have higher intelligence or better personalities.
The intelligence and personalities of most of the smokin ones I’ve met in my life weren’t anything to write home about. Some were even dumb as fuck and/or Grade A cunts.
Thank you for the laughs “montrealman” ..
I believe it’s the ‘perception’ of attractive people being smarter or nicer, juice.
not that they are.
similar to taller men being perceived as more intelligent, more interesting.
CLEARLY written by a woman in her early to mid 20’s who – lets be honest – is not that attractive and is jealous of those who are, and who think they should be handed everything on a silver platter because of how good they look…
Then signed with a man’s name so as to try to throw off the fact she’s a woman, bitching about those who are prettier…
Ladies, dislike away!
actually, most people assume pretty women are stupid.
Attractive men? Yes.
Now fat people are assumed to be lazy and dumb. But there are lots of cute fatties and lots of ugly skinnies. I’m talking in terms of pure fairness of face here.
Pretty women are LIED to a lot. “Oh you’re so smart and interesting and fun to be with” – but this is a lie told to them by those who want to get laid.
It’s not what people say that means shit. It’s what they DO to back up what they say that you have to keep an eye on.
And while legions of people will praise the pretty for their wit and wisdom, they will be very unlikely to actually trust this person to use said wit or wisdom when it counts.
The dumb ones never realize. And think they’re actually fun to be with and interesting and special – and put no extra effort into cultivating these skills. And then boom. Once they’re no longer considered hot, this is where bitterness and disillusion set in once nobody finds them interesting anymore. “I thought i was interesting” – nope. You were just the target of some creep who wanted to get into your pants and you never learned to think critically of yourself or those who praise you so it worked.
Uglies have nothing handed to them. They have to work every day of their lives to develop the personality and character necessary to keep up with those who have everything handed to them.
They actually have a shot at developing the persona necessary to stand them in good stead for old age.
I have always found myself attracted to people who aren’t super-attractive. I can see an attractive man and think “Yeah ok.. i see why he’s hot. But the chance is good that he’s also a bimbo.”
My current boyfriend is actually quite attractive but it took me a lot of time to realize that he was ALSO smart, interesting, fun to be with. GENUINELY so. It took me almost a year to agree to date him because I was prejudiced against his good looks.
Good looking people really are cursed and have to be very self aware and critical of their place in the world. Or they run a huge risk of growing up to be lame human beings.
A RULE OF THUMB
Always tell an intelligent woman she’s beautiful, but always tell a beautiful woman she’s smart. It works for me, or would do if I followed my own advice but, being both intelligent and beautiful, I have no need to follow anyone’s advice, my own included. Is this philosophically coherent?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Biscuit refuses to respect people in their early 20s and younger. If they want His respect, they can purchase his books or volunteer in his tobacco fields. Or they can do shit that matters and try earning His respect.

Always tell an intelligent woman she’s beautiful, but always tell a beautiful woman she’s smart
Yeah that’s a great idea dude.. so you can create total complacency within the psyche of that person and they never have to amount to anything.
Only women…? or…?
I find that post more than a little infuriating. Completely sexist, dismissive and reducing females to these things that need to be lied to so you can more easily get what you want from them.
I don’t lie to men even though the stereotype says they’re boorish fuckwits that need their egos stroked as much as their dicks. I consider myself better than that. I also consider men deserving of a lot better because, after all, we ARE talking about human beings here.
If you’re marketing to the opposite sex as a way of trying to create a deep, personal bond with them… well good luck with what you end up getting out of that.
Being smart, ugly, beautiful or dumb has nothing to do with anything. What i’m saying is… why is it your business to try and manage someone else’s self esteem? Why not give people credit for what they deserve and criticism where it’s needed? Regardless of what’s going on in their pants.
Tell a woman she’s beautiful and immediately she’s thinking to herself how she can do better than that dude.
Interesting article jgoreham and don’t be so fucking hard on yourself.
I believe attractive people do have a built-in advantage because deep-down people want their genes. I believe this is on a subconcious level where being around attractive people makes one feel attractive or popular or in demand themselves. Attractive children will have more self-esteem because people will tend to give them just that much more attention. That little edge (a combination of looks and confidence) gives them the inside track in things like job interviews or dating. This gives them a chance to be happier and go further in their careers. I’m not saying every time this happens just a general tendency.
Where I disagree with the article is the notion that beautiful people are also more intelligent. My own experience is the main reason. I have never found attractive people to be generally more intelligent or stupid for that matter. Some “bimbos” play up simple-mindedness because they fear brains and beauty will be intimidating to guys, sometimes they’re just not that bright.
The article goes on to say a study by the London School of Economics showed attractive people had anywhere from 11 to 15 more IQ points than the average looking person. This from a pool of 52,000 people. I don’t know, I’d like to see a couple more of these studies.
This is a topic where one go on for quite a while. Suffice it to say I believe lookers have definite advantages but I’m not sold on the more intelligent part.
Don’t forget that good looking people often have to proove intelligence more because everyone believes that with an up there is a down for everything, and that somehow this means that most good looking people they encounter must be less intelligent (not true)
As I have argued before, there is no correlation between physical features and intelligence.
Also, as I have argued before, depression causes I.Q scores to go down while the person is depressed. There may be more depression among less attractive people, thus accounting for the difference in I.Q scores.
OP
I agree with what you’re saying simply because I don’t agree with people using his or her looks to use people; but then again, one of the first things almost every girl asks a man is his occupation, so whether or not that is just the nature of the beast, well it looks that way in general, but not necessarily for each specific case.

Oh dear, Good dog, you seems to have missed the point. By telling you that you are smart I was implying that you ARE pretty. Remember the rule of thumb? “Tell a beautiful woman that she’s smart etc. etc.” That’s why I asked, “What are you doing after work?” Get it now?
Maybe I should retract the part about your being smart.

Well Good dog, I wouldn’t go that far but I’m glad you now see that the whole of my “A Rule of Thumb” (08/22, 3:07PM) (as well as my subsequent posts) was just a joke. It never occurred to me that anyone could read that and take it seriously.
Anyway, if you run into her, you might advise TheGreatBatshit (08/22, 5:35PM) to seek out anger management classes. However, her hysterical, priggish and enraged response to my “Rule of Thumb” was not unusual since there seems to be a free-floating cloud of female anger out there – it seems to be the default position for some females – which condemns the male sex to a collection of leering, predatory “lotharios,” to use your expression. They have never been able to accept the fact that the roles of the male and female genders in procreation are asymmetrical, not identical. While the female role is receptive, the male, in the immortal words of “Hey Jude,” was “made to go out and get her.”
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
but MM I am sure that not many women view mean as leering predatory lotharios. only the ones that know you.
Written by a true jelly person. So let me guess, you spose ta be da one with da brains? Bitch, don’t be hatin’ cuz your man wants a piece of dis. Check your man! There are lots of bright women who are also beautiful. What makes you think the two (brains & beauty) are mutually exclusive? Smart and sexy can come wrapped up all in one package honey. Das RIGHT – an’ I’m living proof. By the way, girls don’t get hallway poonani from sleeping with people. Hallway poon comes from giving birth to crotchcritters. But that’s why there’s vaginal rejuvenation. All it takes is an extra stitch and its all good unda da hood, honey.
A CERTAIN “FRISSON”

: Good dog Molly (08/24, 3:22PM)
On the contrary Good dog. I think TheGreatBatshit (08/22, 5:35PM) is fairly typical of many – perhaps the majority – of females today who view males as predatory animals, out for only one thing. (“Men are pigs!”) However, the flip side of this female androphobia is male misogyny, the view that many females, if not the majority, are conniving shrews. Viewed philosophically however, this gender friction adds a certain “frisson” to the mating dance.
I’m sure you agree.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Blame society for telling girls from day one that their appearance, their bodies, and the attention they get from men is the sum of their worth. Plus I think you are a man (Billy is usually a man’s name) so just shut the heck up about what women are doing it’s their choice not yours. I happen to be a young and attractive woman, and I am also an intellectual, I am highly educated, and god forbid I like sleeping around. seeya
I wonder how the blind judge beauty ?

What do you think about the destinction between, difference feminism, and equality feminism. Can’t men be influenced to the point of full out brainwashing by the machine that is society as well? or are we in scuh a male dominated society as for it to be impossible for men to be victims, even though women demand certain things from men also. Can we direct culture in such a way as to allow for all people, man and woman to act more freely without constraining each other?
What are your thoughts, I’m curious.
