The ugly friend effect

So it's science. I have to say from my experience, I always benefited the most from having my handsome charming friends lead the way into getting talking to girls but now I need to rethink my methods and spend more time going out with my mutt ugly buddies.

Will you be practising this new scientific method to get lucky?

If you can get up really closely to folks faces, even those considered gorgeous, now I mean close enough to smell their cheeks, then you'll notice that we're all a bunch of ugly smelly freaks.
Using someone to get attention because you think you're less of an ugly smelly freak is just a sorry delusion.

Tigers are much more beautiful than humans. Polar bears are deadly too, although not so nice covered in blood after devouring a seal pup.

If none of your friends are ugly, may be that's why they have you around.

Ah this is not true. You're kissing the wrong men.

People are strange when you're a stranger.

The cheerleader effect, also known as the group attractiveness effect, is the cognitive bias which causes people to think individuals are more attractive when they are in a group.
