What's all this discussion about personality? Can we get back to shallow stuff and the rightful praise of enormous bottoms?

[pisces]

Some serious study was done into this a couple of years ago. I can't be bothered to look up the paper but the gist of it was that contrary to expectation women were much more shallow than men and were more likely to select a partner based on looks whereas men were more likely to select based on personality.

I think on the surface men are just as shallow about looks but where it probably differs is that when choosing a long term partner men are more likely to know their limitations whereas we all know women tend to live in rather bizzare fantasy land where they would rather chase what they can't have than settle for their lot.

Women don't pass up on me for anything. I just sit at the bar licking my eyebrowse.

Is that what you use to get internet access on an Eyepod?

It would be nice to think that. Have you ever been out in manky clothes and impressed a woman with talk of minimum wage? No it just doesn't happen.

Well it depends what you mean by manky clothes - if they stink or are dirty, then yes fair enough. if you just mean normal non designer clothes, then I feel very sorry for you that you think women will pass up on you for that.

If a lass cant see through fancy clothes/cars and all that tulipe then she's not worth botherring with anyway! We're not all like that!!

You mean....

Shallow Girls like guys with money and nice clothes, Shallow guys like girls with fit bodies.

Still, if it keeps the shallow and vacuous at the pointless end of the gene pool, then it leaves more helpings for those who look for a little bit more in their partners.

El duder...tsk. I bet she was a really nice girl as well. And before you offer, Mrs BGG might have something to say about that !

maybe she just thought you were a f*****kin pr*ck for being so shallow and did not feel she wanted to spend any further time or effort on someone with a depth of 0.2 mm

It's par for the course nowadays.

Seems fair to me.
