perhaps just not spending as many thousands on maintenance, fake tan, manicures, clothes, personal trainers.
There is enormous potential behind plain janes like me I just choose to focus my time and money on other more worthwhile pursuits.

ZombieKitten said:

see, i wouldn't classify you as a plain jane. you're very pretty and very normal looking.

JasmineFire said:

I would describe myself as average though. I don't attract attention.

ZombieKitten said:

Such as?

I don't think there's much correlation betweeen looks and being a great spouse

It's like all those folks who always harp on how stupid pretty women must be--how is THAT true? I saw something on 20/20 once that did prove that good looking people, in general, did much better on dates and interviews, etc. etc. than ugly people because their looks were always factored into the situation. However, this doesn't mean a good looking person is necessarily dull or stupid. That mentality is just silly


I know a guy who has a remarkably ugly wife. And I'm not being mean, folks--I mean, this woman is u-g-l-y without an alibi. but she's not a particularly great wife either. She's lazy, neurotic, and sooooo insecure about her looks that he isn't even allowed to eat at Hooters with the rest of the guys. She makes him pretty miserable if anything.

I'm not saying that being ugly is the reason for that behavior in her either. We all have our insecurities after-all. What I'm saying though is that there can't be much of a correlation between one's looks and wether they'll be a good partner. At least, I don't think there is.

I caught it, but I'm nice compared to you.

ZombieKitten said:

So people who do all that maintenance (as you put it) don't also do things like this? Or at least, that is the stereotype?

ZombieKitten said:

I'd pose for you in exchange for photography lessons!

I think that I'm able to take good photgraphs that look pretty but I really hit a wall trying to take creative pictures. I get ideas but then have a hell of a time trying to actualize them.

I'm NOT being mean. I'm serious!
She's ugly! But the sad thing is that she's not even pretty on the inside. So she can't even turn her ugly ass inside out to reveal any benefit from that.

poor thing.

Imago said:

How ugly can she be? Does she look like Don Knots in a wig?

JustErin said:

I guess for them looking good all the time IS their hobby and goal
There wouldn't be time outside of that say, if they had a job and were trying to catch a man too.



(don't take me seriously please)

JasmineFire said:

those things I listed above are what I do, not what everyone should do!

if you posed for me? AMAZING shots!!!!

applekisses said:

I'm totally not joking.

She looks like him



Just thinner, with fewer wrinkles, and blond hair.


lawd, I need to photoshop this. I may not get any sleep tonight unless I get this out of my system.

ZombieKitten said:

I would hope you're not being serious!

But frig, I can't tell with people on here anymore.

JustErin said:

who are you and why are you posting with Erins account....she's supposed to be in bed...

roodboi said:

I know! But I started to watch Penn and Teller's Bullshit.

JustErin said:

I just imagine all the work that would need to be done on me to bring me up to scratch, and I think it would take all day!
When they did the make-up for me to go on TV it took over an hour it seemed they needed to do a LOT of work.
Now to get myself all nice and tanned and in shape, keep all my stray hairs in check, nails, dress properly (which would require SHOPPING ) I would not have time to do anything else

ZombieKitten said:

aawww...thank you!

i've always loved to take pictures and photography is an artform that i've always admired. i took a photography class in school but i've put it on the back burner, along with dance and many other artistic pursuits, to concentrate on my professional path.

ZombieKitten said:

So you do really think that!

JustErin said:

oh god...shitty conversation with me has been upstaged by those two hacks....

JustErin said:

if it were ME, and to meet MY standards, then YES
I can't speak for others

ZombieKitten said:

You're silly.

I think this thread just showed peoples TRUE colors



*backs slowly out of thread*

JustErin said:

I realise that in the context of my life, there would be no point to doing it.
I hope there AREN'T women out there working on themselves full time, unless it IS their job of course. Which has nothing at all to do with this thread even
