Maybe a lot of the size 12s are older and are just no longer interested in being attractive. Men who are 75% bald might be more satisfied with their bodies than 0% bald men. The 75%ers include a lot of older men who don't care anymore, while the 0%ers include a lot of youngsters who might fret about other aspects of…

Isn't there a section of The Catcher in the Rhye of some girl walking faster than Holden so he can look at her cute little butt? Of course, this is told from Holden's perspective, so maybe she really just wanted him to hurry the hell up.

Yeah, it would be nice if WMATA had a way of conveying train arrival times at the entrance of metro stops. Once I was bolting down the long-ass Woodley Park escalator and had to zoom past two yahoos who were sitting on the escalator. They yelled at me, "What's the fucking hurry?" Then when I get to the platform,…

The worst are slow walkers, (often with hands clasped behind them) who essentially "change lanes" on the sidewalk abruptly and for no apparent reason.

Exactly. I cannot believe the article did not explain that. Maybe slow women and fast men are more likely to be dating? The buddies don't need to adjust their speeds since they naturally walk at the same speed.

I also think that the imbalance is obvious, but it is in favor of women. Let's face it, chronically single men greatly outnumber chronically single women.

"For women who are conventionally unattractive, there is little which can be done in the eyes of society."

There is a recent article which said that white parents are increasingly giving their children "hispanic" names. The most common reason given is so that the children can "fit in with their increasing Latino peers." I, and the article's author, strongly suspect that the real reason is to cash in on whatever…

I'm not defending the "aardvark man's" comments, but he meant to say, "You're bitchy, and not pretty enough to make up for it."

People talk about ugly, fat men in comedy with hot wives a lot, and I think people are barking up the wrong tree.

Yes, Jezebel recently had an article which mentioned that men are starting to care more about their appearance. The article focused on dating and how women don't "need" men anymore, so men have to make themselves more attractive. These were my comments:

Why did the author "instantly dislike" her blind date? Is it because he looks like an aardvark? I can't believe she did not explain her reaction.

I am male and I disagree that beauty is just about putting in the effort. Yes, I read the articles on this point. I think that some people are just plain unattractive and there's nothing they can do to change that. However, if this is an official part of the Jezebel party line, then it makes me less sympathetic…

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "fuckery," but I think we'll probably agree.

I think that women are straight up better looking than men. If French men are expected to maintain their appearances, so are French women. In France, everybody raises their game, and French women exceed French men in beauty. I just see so many more good looking women than good looking men. I think that most men…

"I end up going out with the guy who told me online dating was OK for women because "at least they get a free meal out of it.""

Yeah, I know. I wonder if they can apply frequent flyer miles toward this?

It seems to me that Zooey Deschanel and her fans actively try to be quirky, so they probably dread being considered boring.

"only a $250 fine per person, pair of breasts or testicles, whichever way you prefer to think of it."

I actually wrote that men overestimate their physical attractiveness. There is a famous cartoon with an ugly man looking in the mirror and seeing a super hot stud, while a hot babe looks in the mirror and sees an ugly hag. I think that women are generally better looking than men. I think that few men are physically…
