The effect of looks

Post Reply New Topic

Never ever heard that. Or about her.

Well, that makes one of us.

I can tell u from lots of personal experience that that is not true at all.

I can relate to the difficulties of being emotionally younger than I am. It's not quite immaturity and it is impossible to explain. And I'm only a few years behind!

It is/has been, in my case. But I'm glad that you've not had to deal with that prejudice!

Right. It's like...a completely alien (childlike...almost innocent? I dunno...) way of seeing and relating to humanity, which no NT could possibly understand. I'm simply considered a weirdo and a deviant because of it. Fabulous.

Good looks also don't help when the person hiring (or firing) you is a woman and you are a woman.

I find Brad Pitt goodlooking. I understand what people see in him, but I don't find him attractive.

If that's the woman in the picture she is far from unattractive. Grow her hair out longer and she'd be a total babe.

Wow, thanks for touching on this. My last "supervisor" (a term I use loosely because I did all of the work for the department, was given no job description when I took on the role, and was given no direction whatsoever, to boot) was a woman who was less than 10 years my senior, but who looked old enough to be my mother (weatherbeaten face, sagging jowls, deep facial crags, haggard appearance, sloppy/slouched posture even though she was *maybe* 5'1", etc.).

Out of the blue one afternoon about 2 years ago, she came up to me, got right in my face, and, scowling, said in a harsh and accusatory tone, "You don't have a SINGLE LINE on your face!" I was flabbergasted, as might be expected - because really, what do you say to something like that?! I hemmed and hawed, and mentioned something about daily sunscreen and genetics, and joked nervously about having been a goth for decades, etc. She then scoffed and said sarcastically that maybe she "shouldn't have spent so much time at the beach!" Ummmmm...yeah, that's true, especially without adequate sun protection...

She never let me live this down, and bullied me constantly for one thing or another until the day I gave my notice.

^^^ Heck, yes! I swear, fashion exists for women to judge other women - most of us men could care less about exactly what dress/shoe/purse/accessory combination you have going on... we're often pretty lenient on physical appearance, too... It sure seems like women dress for other women, but hopefully the man will enjoy it along the way.

That's not surprising, spending time in the sun can be extremely damaging and ageing on the skin. However there are ways to feel the benefits of the sun without actually being exposed to the sun by taking Vitamin D3 and Beta carotene on a daily basis. I take 10'000 iu of Vitamin D3 and 50'000 iu of beta carotene a day.

-edit-

Keep in mind that there's a difference between tanning beds and "the real deal". There's very little sun here in Norway (with not so much difference between summer and winter along the coastline). Many girls here who do not take care of their appearance, have lost their looks by the age of 21-22, and many boys have beer guts by that age as well.

Why would that be? Is it because they drink?

Alcohol, sun, lack of moisturising, tanning, bloat in the face, all types of factors can contribute to why people lose their looks.

in which way are you creative and artistic? you have never posted anything i have seen that is exemplary of your creativity or artistry. every post i have ever read from you describes your athletic prowess and sexual conquests, and your advice to others on how to achieve your level of "success" ignores the fact that many people you flog your advice to are not "physically superior" or proficient in the art of glib slick lines that make bubblegum chewing "ohmagod" girls giggle.

an appreciation of what? to talk to them behind an avatar showing your "abs" may well solicit many admiring posts. there are millions of people who can only see skin deep, and they are most probably the largest demographic within your fan base.
well there you go.
i do not judge those types of people to be superficial, but your inference seems to me to be that body builders admire your success in sculpting your physique, artists who may like to paint a likeness of you (unless you are talking about classical art unrelated to portrait related artists), photographers who may want you to model for them (unless you also have an interest in photography of other things than "beautiful people"), actors who may see you as "star material" (unless you have a propensity for character emulation) and models (who may consider you their equal and therefore worth the effort to talk to).

i do allow that i may be incorrect in my perception of you, but all i ever see from you are displays of your masculinity and you seem very conceited to me. even your new avatar of your back reinforces my impression of you. who gives a damn about your back except for those who only consider you to be conversation worthy based upon your muscles and physique.


i am not inclined to bugle my merits. i will not stoop to hoist a banner which broadcasts my altruistic actions so as to attract respect for them or in order to compete with anyone else. i am not retreating from your challenge to say what i have done for other people, but i am not inclined to try to garner respect as a profitable by-product by itemizing what i have done for others.

i do not dislike you, but to me you reek of musk and aftershave with an undertone of male B.O, and your designer stubble also alienates me. you seem to be a product of extreme deliberation that is carefully and strenuously crafted to attract females.

you may attract many females, but i am sure none of the ones attracted to you would ever be attracted to me and i am glad that i am not swamped by the types of people that adulate you.

you live in a completely different world than i do.

Tanning beds send a more focused beam of radiation than the sun does, which is why there's almost always a limit of 30 minutes on them.

Norwegian girls start binge drinking at 12 and Norwegian boys start at 14. It's perfectly normal for Norwegians in their teens and early 20's to get morbidly drunk EVERY friday and saturday (while still remaining completely abstinent from alcohol at week days). At the age of somewhere between 20-25, it's fairly easy to see the difference between those who do and those who do not. The former will typially be somewhat overweight, have visible indication of hormonal imbalances, have unclean skin, have a poor posture as well as a flabby and bloated face.
