    You actually didn't fix my post. You ruined it. The model I described in my post is a model that fits everyone, regardless of whether they are attractive or not. A bargain being someone with lower self esteem than you indicates that the prize bargain still has value in that her self esteem is low enough for your bracket of attractiveness yet high enough that you're pulling above your weight.

    If she has no self esteem there is less of an exclusivity about it and thus the bargain is depreciated seeing as people who are far less attractive are still in with a chance. So in the case I described the model fits all, where as by you fixing it, it kind of ruins the idea.

    If however your post was intended to be some kind of witty jab at me in exchange for a bunch of people thanking your post then let me respond with: u rgay

    It was more of a subtle hint to fix your personality. It works way better then preying on drunk girls.

    I find that being a dick head to girls (scabbing cigarettes as a chat up line, stealing their drink and slagging them if all goes wrong) works best at picking up girls who are better looking than me because strangely it comes across as being confident. well, it does in most of the Harcourt St. area night clubs anyway.

    Yeah ive seen a few hideous looking couples around, and they have no qualms about mauling each others face off so i guess it makes sense.

    It's been shown in psychological studies that people go for/end up with people of equal attractiveness. I could expand further but I'm far too tipsy/not arsed to provide any decent data for this.

    Rekorderlig for all!

    I don't speak for all ugly ppl here, but I assure you the type I 'go for' {let's say fancy} and end up with are VERY different.

    Also surely math has to some in to this somewhere, symmetry anybody?

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,466 ✭✭✭Snakeblood


    that was not trolling. myself and h8scobes are part of an underground movement for cool kids everywhere to rise up on the internet and make it a cool place where nerds can no longer seek refuge.

    beware, your time is limited.

    I'd like to join your group. I've got poor impulse control and a touch of selfloathing.:cool:

    "Theoretically" is an important word to add there.

    Unfortunately, unrealistic. You can't honestly believe Brian Cowen could end up with, say, Adriana Lima. It's just not going to happen.

    And not everyone can end up with just anyone, personalities differ massively, too. Also, the majority of people are superficial to at least a small degree and everyone has their limit. Not to say everyone's like that, but it'd be a bit naive to assume that most people aren't, whether they'd like to admit it or not.

    It may not be a nice, fairytale story that makes you all warm and fuzzy and gives you hope that you'll find that supermodel who'll just love you for who you are, but it's realistic. Attractive people have more choice. They can probably find a person with a similar personality to yours who's just plain more attractive. No fault of theirs-- I'm sure anyone would do the same if presented with the same scenario.

    Again, not the nicest thought.. but a realistic one.

    And I can 100% guarantee that there's loads more stunners that they'd never have a hope with, simply because not everybody is compatible with everyone else.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 45 Chorizo


    Bit of a silly question. By your reckoning men should be attracted to me.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Yes.

    Also ugly and attractive people alike are repulsed by shallow pr*cks who just go for looks.

    Well, I was talking about pure attractiveness, not monetary assets.

    You know.. for us normal people, but using those examples for imagery's sake.

    Gold diggers skew it a little bit.

    I love all forms of women......























    ......I've the restraining orders to prove it! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 717 ✭✭✭Noodleworm


    Id say no, genetically everyone goes for the better looking people, what we find attractive is usually indications of fertility, or how well you can provide your your family. It all leads back the the subconscious desire to reproduce.

    some people will just settle for less though


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 525 ✭✭✭Copper23


    This is a weird one, and there are a couple of questions around it too.

    Do ugly people find other ugly people attractive?

    Do ugly people rate other ugly people's looks as higher than an attractive person would?

    Do ugly people find attractive people more attractive than an attractive person would?

    In my experience, as somebody who considers myself moderately attractive (pics or gtfo, hilarious) I would try to mate with people who are more attractive than I, or at least as attractive. I am taking personality out of the equation here, but I would also say that I would avoid mating with people whom I would consider ugly, as I am not attracted to them. Any thoughts on this?

    Seriously? What a w*****r.

    The thing about that is that they were together before he hit the big time. By all accounts they've been together since they were teenagers.

    Why she is still with him boils down to the money thing though.

    +1...

    op as for the whole do ugly people find other ugly people attractive, probably but then define whats 'ugly'?

    everyone has different tastes and different styles. tbh it's like asking "am i normal?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,674 ✭✭✭Teutorix


    Money is sexy no matter who you are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Simple answer to simple question;

    Everyone likes attractive people. That is why attractive people normally pair off. They are in the same league, as it were.

    All the fuglies then have to make do with each other, but if they actually had a shot at a looker they would be in there like rats up drainpipes.
