Are British people particularly ugly?

[craner]

I remember thinking that if Kate Moss were here, she'd be doing very well to be in the more attractive 50% of the female guests.

I think that about a lot of places. Even the local supermarket sometimes.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Admittedly, Ms Moss has never done all that much for me, personally. It was just the first name of 'a famous woman widely regarded as attractive' that popped into my head.

Not even so much as a cup of tea, the lazy cow.

In fact I've been kind of bowled over by the attractiveness of the women whenever I've visited the Middle East. At my friend's wedding party in Amman a few years ago, I remember thinking that if Kate Moss were here, she'd be doing very well to be in the more attractive 50% of the female guests.

beautifully partridge lines here

This is the thing though models aren't attractive. We should do a thread about sexiness. And the pose of a face that's being gazed upon. Self-conscious sexiness is a massive turn off

Well there's a big difference between the models who are used to advertise clothes, perfume, cosmetics and whatnot to the general public, who are typically extremely attractive*, and catwalk models, who are usually quite 'plain' (not in the sense of being ugly but in the sense of not having particularly distinguished features, because their job is to wear the clothes, not draw attention away from them).

*I mean I'm sorry but if you're saying you don't think Naomi Campbell is hot then I just don't believe you

 

[shiels]

Of course she's objectively beautiful but sometimes like I think barty said it's a bit alien like, fascinating but uninviting too. different species. and there's there's something cold in the poise

 

[Mr. Tea]

The coldness is kind of the point.

 

[yyaldrin]

Indeed. It's a no-braner, craner.

though they do a lot of cosmic surgery right? i never understood that. i love big noses.

Ahh well there is that. But I doubt most women have had stuff done, even if the %age of women who have is higher than in other countries.

Agreed, nothing wrong with a proud nose.

Can't believe that you didn't make some kind of joke about space surgery here Oliie. Well if you left it I'm not gonna pick it up.

Years and years of being constantly observed has got to have side effects.

But much to expect em to be normal lol

Fuck, I completely missed the typo!

Unfortunately I am still technically 'at work', so my performance on Dissensus may not be at a full 100%. My apologies to all.

 

[IdleRich]

You need to look at your priorities a bit here.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Yeah, it's pretty poor form really.

 

[catalog]

Perhaps you could speak to your line manager and ask if you could get some mentoring?

 

[entertainment]

Think British men are prettier than women.

 

[IdleRich]

A while back I think I mentioned something about how short Portuguese women are compared to their Russian counterparts... check this illustrative pic

 

[Mr. Tea]

It's a promising study but I think the sample size could do with being increased.

 

[IdleRich]

Something weird with the perspective in that pic but honestly both those people considered of average height in their home countries I reckon.
