Thozzman Posted March 18, 2007 #26 Share Posted March 18, 2007 "He's more or less a throat with ears and hair" WTF?!!! ROFLMAO!!! Thanks Ripley, I've been in a rotten mood all day, I needed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thozzman Posted March 18, 2007 #27 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Anyone who says looks don't matter is delusional. Here's a hypothetical question for you: An absolute stud is coming up out of the pool, tanned, muscular with eyes to die for...and suddenly an over-weight man with back hair so thick it's got it's own endangered species comes into view. Can we all guess which one the ladies will work up the nerve to go and say "Hi" to? Even if the schmuck in the pool has a winning personality (hah) he'd still be your first choice. Looks matter. It's why the human race has been getting prettier and prettier (and weaker) over the millenia. You're absolutely correct except, if the over weight guy with the back hair were to be a millionaire, or maybe drive a 2007 Porsche, he'd stand the better chance. Another example using the same two characters would be if the handsome stud was hung like a hampster, and the over weight hairy guy like a horse, then the hairy fat guy would win.

RockChickUK Posted March 18, 2007 #28 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Well pretty much everything has been covered here. I try not to judge people on how they look, the reason being when I was younger (at school and in my clubbing/partying days) I was the 'ugly one' out of me and my best friend. Now don't get me wrong, I aren't a *total* swamp donkey but my best friend was (and still is a stunner). So when we were out I would always get guys coming over to me to get to talk to her LOL!!!. Anyway, it would always turn out that we'd all end up going out on double dates ( me with the poor blokes mate who was dragged along to make up the numbers!!) and after a couple of dates I would always end up getting calls from the guy's who liked my friend asking me to go out with them. I NEVER accepted as I felt bad for my friend. It just showed me how shallow people can be and sort of taught me a lesson. My friend actually went through a really jealous phase with me and we actually fell out for a while as I saw the jealousy as an ugly trait and argued that I was never jealous of her when all the guys were chasing her and using me as their 'plan' to get to her. we're still best friends, cos we're all grown up now!!!. I am just confident in myself personality wise, and my face is what I have been given, like it or lump it. On another note, I hate sexism. It works both ways. If a I would never expect my guy to do anything I wouldn't want to and visa versa. I hate how people hate men for hitting women (quite rightly too) but how women hitting men isn't as offensive to most people. If you want equal rights and you punch your bloke don't go all girly if he hits you back...equal rights. Either way its wrong. I am on a rant now....basically, if you treat people how you want to be treated and visa versa, you won't be ugly personality wise. Everything else is just the wrapping paper....and I have unwrapped some fine looking presents in my time to find the actual contents are disappointing!!!

Stalker Posted March 18, 2007 #29 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Ignorance was covered, what about arrogance? People that feel good by making you feel bad--bullies--and of course men that comb those two strands over so they think they aren't bald, & women who weigh 15 stone & think they look sexy in leather mini skirts! Now now, that sounds rather nice to me.... I won't go into the physical aspects, because EVERYONE has a different idea of what's beautiful physically, and thus a different idea of what's ugly physically. So: -anyone who discriminates against another, for any reason, is ugly in my book -people who enjoy causing pain to others -etc, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabe Posted March 18, 2007 #30 Share Posted March 18, 2007 People who are not mindful of the sensitivities of others. For example a woman who talks about giving a bj and thinks its funny. *looks around* hey, I don't mind women talking about oral!!! ... ... ... Sorry bullies are definitly ugly. to turn things around: when someone helps someone else, in acts of kindness and good will. And when the person being helped expresses his gratitude with just a smile. It is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm sorry to hear you weren't the absolute stunner RockChick I feel like giving you a hug right now... I feel like giving all of you hugs! I love you guys!!!!

aussiemermaid Posted March 18, 2007 #31 Share Posted March 18, 2007 There are so many things listed thats its not funny!!! It depends on the person though really. I had a best friend who was absolutly gorgeous and always got the attension, but she was really shallow, and always put me down as i was academically smarter and a better sport person than her one thing though that i cant stand are people who dont brush their teeth, especially if they have braces (i used to and i took my tooth brush to school as a just incase because anything can get stuck!!) i get irritated easily, so people who dont know when enough is enough of anything like eating, jokes, persistance etc. It comes down to individuallity, and i assess every person i meet, whether to if they are ugly or not But FYI, Cute used to mean "interesting but ugly"...so next time your called cute or call some one cute.....

Lt_Ripley Posted March 19, 2007 #32 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) does posting what we find ugly however make us prudish? arrogant? how about hypocritial ? surely the traits we don't like in others exist in ourselves as well. isn't that why some people don't get along because they are so alike? food for thought. none of us is perfect. and aussie you say you get irritated easily? 'enought is enough' is a individual taste. what might be enough for you may not be enough for someone eles and vise versa. some could then say you have no patience. **** your welcome Thozz - are you a Brit ? My Brit friends would have loved that line. I couldn't help but think that's what he looked like. for example - a couple of years ago while in England for a few months I came down with a terrible head cold and had lain in bed for 3 days doing squat. I was watching tv about religious artifacts. My girlfriend stated " how long are you going to lay in bed?" and of course these replies are always quick and off the top of the head - I told her " long enough to leave a meaty shroud of Turin when I get up." we laughed until we cried and my nasel passages filled again. it was horrible.

MissMelsWell Posted March 19, 2007 #37 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) I don't know... I really don't. I think self-imposed ignorance would be what I'd choose as my number one "ugly" trait. My best friend is one of the shallowest people I know, BUT she also posesses a lot of wonderful traits. She'd go to the ends of the earth for her friends, but she never thinks about anything much deeper than what's on the surface. She's charming and easy to be around because she's so frightfully simple and shallow. I have another friend who is a classically attractice man, yet he's also completely self-absorbed, 50 years old and never had a relationship with a woman that lasted longer than 2 weeks. BUT on the other hand, he's an incredible conversationalist, funny and charming and one of my favorite people to spend an afternoon with. He's what I call my "perma-date" I can take him into any social situation and he'll be hit with everyone there. haha It's tough, some people just rub me the wrong way, and it's hard to put a finger on what it is exactly. It must be a combination of bad traits that bubble up and make me go ick. I think I enjoy diversity, and I'm willing to overlook a lot of peoples bad traits and look at the good ones.

Kazahel Posted March 19, 2007 #38 Share Posted March 19, 2007 What makes a person ugly to you? I mean everyone has foibles and flaws that can be over looked. Physically people can fix things up and some people can just be beautiful but have such a horrid character that it just ruins it. But what are the deal breakers for you? Very little to me would make me call or think of someone else as ugly. Basically everyone is different and does things in their own way, so the only real ugly thing imo would be to consider these imperfections or errors as coming from an ugly being. Like I knew a girl once who was pretty but really mean and rude... and I liked her for it because she just did things in her own way... she was super rude but that was just her and it made her who she was, which wasnt ugly.. She was just wonderfully different. Anyway so my answer is.. not alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Manfred Posted March 19, 2007 #44 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Sure, he'd make a good friend, acquantance and possibly a boyfriend. But a soulmate? A husband? Of course not, because you're judging him by his looks. It's perfectly natural to do so. It's why we procreate. And sure, he could find his own studded gal, but what of the physically repugnant? You can't tell me that when two hideous people meet they wouldn't prefer someone more attractive. No matter how ugly you are you still want something pretty to be with. Meh, I'm rambling so here's another ugly person: GAH!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggles Posted March 19, 2007 #47 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) Fatties, I think fat makes people ugly. More so than scars, burns, big noises or anything else. Why? cos it can be helped. To me fat it just a sign of laziness and the sign of an unhealthy lifestyle. I know this post is going to probably go down like the Hindenburg and be met with hostilities and comments like it cant be helped but lets face it ..... It can. If you burn more calories than you eat, fat comes off its impossible for it not to. Im not saying fat people are bad people, just mostly i dont find them attractive.

Briggles Posted March 19, 2007 #49 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) To me extremely skinny people are the same way. A sign of an unhealthly lifestyle. Maybe. Assuming its not due to poverty, Poverty can't be helped to an extent. An when poverty dose strike there are for worse results than weather the population become perceived ugly or not. There are however no unfortunate circumstances were every one in a nation/area if forced fat. Fat is always self inflicted!! (unless of course your talking about fat kids, but then i think the parents should go on a charge for cruelty) So 2 fat is not quite the same as 2 skinny. Though It isn't really just the pysical flab i find unatractive its more the whol "its not my falt" the "its glandular" the - its everyones falt but mine - attitude that comes with it and the fact with a bit of hard work it needen't be there. Again i know some people may come back with "i'm fat an i'm happy, so whats your problem?" well i know people who smoke and are happy to do so yet everybodys alright with telling them to quit/stop/give it up for the good of your health. you see where im going with this?!
