Attractive Rant
I've gotten e-mail from a few people who seem to think that this site is dedicated to helping me screw a supermodel. Although I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of cheap sex with a supermodel on a sheepskin rug, my goals are not set quite so high. Since I don't have a model body, fast car, tons of money, or anything appealing to women, I understand that my dating options are somewhat limited. In truth my standards aren't that high at all. It's been pointed out to me recently that I seem to refer to every girl I talk to as "beautiful" and even turned down a girl (the Drew Carey look alike) that was interested in me (see lunch lady link at the bottom)
The truth is I've described the women I have approached as beautiful because that's how I've seen them. You should keep in mind though that it's been a long time since I've seen any action. You're getting a starving man's perspective on an all you can eat buffet. To you it might be a crusty piece of fried chicken that's been under the heat lamp too long but to me it's a juicy life-giving feast that brings tears to my eyes. I have described these girls as I have seen them although some of my friends have disagreed. In fact on June 7th, 2003 (I would never remember if it wasn't a journal entry) after being shot down by one of these girls, I had the following conversation with my friends.
Slightly paraphrased:
Kevin: “Consider yourself lucky bro.”
Me: “How is getting shot down lucky?”
Kevin: “Dude, you could park a car on her forehead, she looked like a character on star trek, although knowing you that may have been the appeal.”
Me: “I don't know what you're talking about. I thought she was
hot. Hey Dan what'd you think?”
Dan: “She was no Jennifer Anniston but come on Kevin are you
telling me that after a few drinks you wouldn't hit that?”
Kevin: “Are you kidding me? I wouldn't hit that shit with my
car.”
(For the record, although Kevin's "Klingon" jokes went on for several days he later stated that he was exaggerating slightly and just didn't find her attractive.)
I'm not that attractive. Harsh fact but I have to face it. The simple
truth that people don't want to face is that physical appearance means
a lot in this world. There aren't a lot of guys who pleasure themselves
to websites based on women with great personalities and the sites
they do spend their time on have a whole different take on women who
are "beautiful on the inside."
It's a little hard to preach “"Don't judge a book by its
cover" to a society that judges a movie by its preview and then
gets pissed off when the terminator says, "Talk to the hand."
Chances are if you paid $8 to see Gigli because you'd rather trust
a preview than a film review, you're probably clueless as to why your
boyfriend stays out late and comes home smelling like Bath and Body
Works.
Now I know that some of you are getting up to grab your diet Pepsi and low fat wheat thins before sitting down to write me a long angry e-mail I won't even read. I'm not picking on women, truth be known, men are ten times more guilty of judging people based on looks than women. I don't think it's right either way and I try to give everyone a fair chance. After all in the land of the blind the man with one eye is king. Wait I'm mixing up my analogies, the point is don't discount someone based on what they look like. Let them open their mouth and prove they're not worth knowing rather than just assuming it. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to get off my soapbox and go see the new Charlie's Angels movie, it looks great.
