Attractiveness

anndub

Whilst sitting in a beer garden doing some people watching last night, I observed a couple who were very mis-matched in the attractiveness stakes. I drew this to the attention of my OH who suggested that maybe the girl was into threesomes. He then laughed maniacally for a some time while I looked on. After declaring he probably shouldn't tell me this, he proceeded to tell me. His cousin had told him earlier that day that the bird he's been "seeing" instigated a threesome some days ago with him and her flatmate.

Anyway, enough of that. So how do couples mis-matched in the attractiveness stakes come about?

Your OH wants a threesome.

Ever hear of the old 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' line? And totally subjective of course.

You can't jump 3 points in the attractiveness stakes without money, fame or a wicked sense of humour!...but especially the first 2!

Peter Crouch when asked what did he think he'd be if he wasn't a footballer - he replied, "a virgin!!!".
He is now married to Abi Clancy?!

I would assume all men do, that's why you have two hands.

Perhaps not everyone is shallow.

I have two hands so that I can shield my eyes from the sun with one while using the other to point at a distant object.

I don't get this shallow business. You have to be attracted to someone to be with them.

Sorry Sir.

That would be monies. As in money.

I post in a poker forum where that type of thing is the norm.

Most start in the same environment you were in last night. ie a pub.
The mathamatical formula is below:

Alcohol + 2 drunk people = beer googles = 1 night stand = baby = mis-matched couple divided by nosey onlookers to the power of 2

...and attractiveness is subjective. What might not be that attractive to the OP might be attractive to the couple involved. People find different things attractive. To not understand that is shallow. Just because the OP/or anyone thinks there is an attractiveness mismatch doesn't mean there actually is, the two people involved could be very much attracted to each other in looks and in other ways.

I have a friend who claims that the fat/ugly ladies are also the best in bed.





Personally I think he invented this theory to explain why he never scores with hot chicks.

Oh I get what you're saying now.

Yeah, I was going to add the subjective bit in my post above but didn't.

and what first attracted you to the billionaire rupert murdoch?

Lack of self esteem so they don't realise how good looking they are so they choose someone they think is at their level??


Or they could just be in love .


Not everyone goes out with some one solely for their looks. You've never been around someone and at first glance thought you wouldn't be into them at all and then you get chatting to them and their personality makes them instantly more attractive than before. It even makes their looks more attractive.

What one person considers attractive may be wildly different to what another person considers attractive.
e.g. I know Cheryl Cole is a very beautiful woman but she does nothing for me sexually. Give me Abi Titmuss any day.

This.

Plus, I've been around typically attractive people but their personality sucked and made them instantly unattractive.

The whole notion of the 'league' system is a load of BS too. Anyone who actually goes through life acting as if there is some notion of leagues based on looks is a fool.

I have often found myself attracted to someone only after i've gotten to know them. Happened with my current boyfriend, and I can barely keep my hands off him now!

Yeah I think Cheryl is quite beautiful but she seems a bit vacant.

I still definately wood though.

That can also work in the oppossite way, many a time youd see a woman think wow shes amazing looking spend half an hour talking to her she completely turns you off to the point theres no way in hell you ever would. I think the trick is to find the perfet balance between attractiveness and personallity that works for each individual.

Does this mean ugly couples aren't attracted to each other, they just take what they can get.

Also a man with a massive cock usually won't have too much trouble batting above his level.

Me neither - despite many a pleading e-mail.

Yes but very often attractive personalities and bodies go hand in hand. For example if you're a lard ass it's pretty obvious you have either a hormonal problem or you have poor self discipline and very bad eating habits or all of the above. This also may be relevant.

In fairness, you could apply that to anyone who engages in harmful, self-destructive activity, which is pretty much everyone.

I personally would not be attracted to a guy who was fat, but not because I'd be afraid he'd have a "bad personality". Maybe he lacks self-discipline, which you may find unattractive, but just because you perhaps find over-weight people aesthtically displeasing, doesn't make their over-indulgences any more 'sinful' than those who may drink too much, smoke, or whatever.
It just so happens that for fat people, their 'sins' manifest on their body.
Its very easy to ridicule them, especially in a society that looks down on people who are overweight. People who (for example) smoke recieve the same condemnation for their actions, but the shame associated with being overweight certainly isn't there. Its not as 'embarassing' or 'wrong' to be a smoker, as it is to be a fat person.

Again, I prefer guys I'm with to be fit, because I think it looks good, but I think its a bit much to suggest that a person who is fat automatically has a unattractive personality. We all have our ways of (perhaps wrongly) dealing with stuff.

I've heard this before but how does someone with a massive cock bring this to the attention of the general population?

What I usually do is get a captive audience with the correct eye-level, Like in a restaurant, cinema, or even in a stadium. Then you slowly squeeze past everyone on their seats and simultaneously have a wardrobe malfunction. Helps if you smack them in the face with it too.

I see. I fear that is s bit extreme, and possibly a bit illegal. But I like the general idea. My plan is to get said captive audience at correct eye level and just do some pelvic gyrations. Maybe I'll point to crotch and smile.

Should do the trick.
