As sad as it is, looks do get you places.

[Shell Beau]

Just another observation for the day.

[no name no slogan]

1. Hell yeah. That's why my ugly ass is living in a van down by the river.

This is the DU member formerly known as Matt Foley.

[Shell Beau]

2. No way!!!

Your looks are just fine!! ;)

[PBS Poll-435]

8. LOL

:rofl::rofl::rofl:



And btw, NICE AVATAR!

[Pierre.Suave]

9. You are quite ugly...

I agree...

:P

:rofl:

I am surprised they haven't forced you away from the river, and into the woods yet...

[NewJeffCT]

3. You are correct

though, i'm sure it's not always a good place, it usually is.

[Shell Beau]

5. I am not saying that I am some drop dead gorgeous gal, but

I just had a situation where if I were "ugly", I am pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten the help I did.

It is sad to help or not help someone based on their looks.

[NewJeffCT]

7. well, that can be hard to judge for sure

unless somebody flat out told you that they helped you because they wanted to hit on your or something, you can't really say for sure.

[Shell Beau]

10. Well then let's say they flat out told me that.

More like, I never mind going out of my way for such a pretty lady.

[NewJeffCT]

21. I'm not surprised

and, it is probably different from men to women, too. I can't see somebody saying, "I never mind going out of my way to help a handsome guy..." to a guy, even if they did do that. But, I've never really had to worry about that.

[Guava Jelly]

4. Yep

And pretty people are more intelligent and better qualified.:sarcasm:
And those that are heavier are lazy and stupid.:sarcasm:
It is such a bullshit world we live in.

[Shell Beau]

6. It can go the other way too. Some gorgeous women/men

are often thought of as airheads or bimbos. Terrible.

[skygazer]

11. It is true and I admit that I've used it on occasion

I remember once when I was wearing a dress and heels and I needed air in my tire. I can put air in my damn tire - I can rotate my damn tires, for that matter - but I didn't feel like it because I didn't want to get dirty so I walked into the gas station holding a tire pressure gauge and saying sweetly, "Does anyone here know how to use this?"

I had three men tripping over each other to put air in my tires. :rofl:

I felt kind of bad about it but on the other hand, they were so happy to feel all studly that it kind of worked out. :shrug:

[Shell Beau]

14. I must say that I have used my looks on occasion myself.

It can be helpful for sure, but sometimes it feels wrong.

One time a man came up to me while I was pumping gas and asked to do it for me because a beautiful woman shouldn't have to pump gas. :shrug: I guess an ugly woman should! :sarcasm:

[skygazer]

18. Exactly - and I think that's why I felt bad

Because I was sort of promoting the very behavior that I find obnoxious. And I don't think I've done anything like it since. Not on purpose.

[RebelOne]

24. Hell, if you've got it, use it.

I couldn't have gotten by on my own most of my life if I hadn't been a good-looking blonde. But now, those looks are gone as I just turned 70 years old.

[TZ]

12. Yep I've seen it.

I'm definitely a uh plain type girl and I happen to hang around with some very attractive women in real life. I can see the differences right away....fortunately for me, professionally, I am in a career where looks are definitely secondary to intelligence.

[Shell Beau]

15. Intelligence lasts a lot longer than looks!

[NJmaverick]

13. Always had and always will

[BeachBaby]

16. I remember this one time....

where I got pulled over for speeding on the NJ Turnpike.

He walked up to my window, asked for the usual BS, looked it over, looked at me, and then said "I'm not going to ticket you for this - when you get home, don't forget to thank God that He made you as hot as you are".

Flattering as it was, it disturbed me at the same time. :wtf:

[TZ]

19. yep.

No offense but I know in the same situation I would be getting that ticket.

[NewJeffCT]

25. From a NJ cop

that's a pickup line!

:P

[Shell Beau]

26. I too have gotten out of tickets for looks. I am glad not to have

the ticket, but I think about the person before or after me that did get a ticket.

[graywarrior]

17. And age.

[Deep13]

20. Yeah. My career success is despite being a huge fatass, not because of it. nt

[Orrex]

22. It's not all rainbows and happiness, though

I'm so stunningly gorgeous that people fall into fits of rapture at the barest sight of me. It's really inconvenient when I'm trying to order a cheeseburger, for instance.

[Shell Beau]

27. I can so see that!

:P

[Burma Jones]

23. Not as much as money does.......

[Shell Beau]

28. Money makes the world go round!

Too bad I am lacking in the $$$ department. Not for long though. My lotto # is bound to win soon! ;)
