First of all, I think it’s only fair to warn you all: I’m slightly drunk. My Friend With Huge Boobs * came over for some homemade lasagna and wine. The lasagna was very good. The wine was very very good. I sometimes surprise even myself at how good I am at picking wine. Anyways… I’m slightly drunk.

We somehow got into a discussion that included me replaying the whole “I’m ugly and you’re not a very good boyfriend because you agreed with me” -conversation I had had with BF. And we realised, that the only reason why I’m still even letting BF have his face (I know some really nice folks down at the Marines. Handy bunch of guys, actually. Besides, due to my cheerleading past I’m more that capable of doing my own ass-kicking so it wouldn’t even be necessary to call in the Marines.) is that I know I’m not really ugly. And on that thought, ugly people never complain about their looks!

Seriously, they don’t.

Naturally, this led to a lengthy discussion of whether it’s because they know they are ugly and have gotten used to that. They’ve given up. They’re ignoring the aesthetics of human nature. Or… are they just in denial that everyone has an external appearance and that theirs isn’t just so attractive?

Why is is that the only ones you hear complaining about their looks are the actually pretty ones?

Maybe it’s because you have to be shallow enough to care about looks in the first place to pay attention to them enough to care. And then to do something about it. You know, if you’re so shallow, that you notice you’re ugly, you care about looks enough to do something to your looks. Ergo, you’re no longer ugly. But if you’re not shallow, you don’t give a damn, and then you won’t complain about it either.

I resent that.

I refuse to believe that you can judge a persons shallowness by their looks. That’s prejudice. And we all know how well that works out, just think of Elizabeth Bennet. No wait! She got Mr. Darcy. A.k.a Colin Firth. Hmmm… there’s something wrong here… Hmmm… Which weakness of personality gets you George Clooney?

*remind me to credit this to TAB. It’s all her idea. I stole the nickname from her. She’s brilliant!
