What I Have Happened To Notice

I have always thanked my lucky stars that I wasn’t born a woman. In addition to being suspectible to all sorts of illness that cause slow painful ways to die like breast cancer (which by the way I was told by Threez that a mammogram could trigger the cancer and therefore you are kcuf no matter which way you turn), women have their own food chain, with their ugly sisters occupying the lower rungs and the prettier ones at the top. Looks really seem to matter, if you were born with indoor plumbing.

This isn’t so obvious in the blogosphere. For an example nobody seems to care that mrbrown, miyagi or kennysia look like trolls. Kenny has horribly hairy legs like a orang utan. But we love all of them anyway. Because they are men. Our expectations of men are terribly low. If they were like greek gods, we would be making snide remarks like “Oh he writes so well and he’s such a hunk - has be gay as a fruit loop”. What bastards we are!

Have you noticed how the more popular blogs seem to be run by women with above average looks? Let’s not name any names here lest the aforementioned bloggers think I have the hots for them. But it’s true isn’t it. If you are female and post a nice photo of yourself on your blog, prepare for an influx of male attention.

I frequent many female bloggers daily. Celia makes me stop and think with her consistently insightful posts. Kutu, who runs a journal of self-loathing, makes me laugh together with her as she transforms her despair into manifestations of humour. I have no idea how they look like and I don’t care.

Why should a pretty girl be popular both online and offline when some average girls who blogs better languishes in obscurity? I think this is terribly unfair. But then life is unfair. What do you want, a magic pony?

Don’t blog for fame or to be popular or to win some silly contest.

Blog, because you have no mouth but must scream.

Isn’t the reason looks matter to those with indoor plumbing because of the visual fixation of those with outdoor plumbing?

Men are biologically inclined to be attracted to women who look like good caregivers for their future offspring, i.e. curvaceous women who look relatively fit and healthy. Women are biologically inclined to be attracted to an ability to provide, which means a well-paying job, and strength, whether of body or character.

Does this make women better? I think so.

Yea, average-looking women are always at the disadvantage.

someone should just organise an ugly people pagent, then maybe I can win

No way! I am so going to beat you in that. *starts a bitch fest with kutu*

Anyway, I’m getting rather sick of how even the bloggosphere is getting rather beauty-centric. *cough*hottest blogger*cough* So many female bloggers popular just because they put hot, and altered pics of themselves, not because they are smart or write well. Even though I like girls, I find it rather irritating.

this is why i don’t put photos up when i had a blog. never.

it’s not easy either way. ppl will alw be curious as to how u look no matter how stupid or smart u write. they long to have a face to despise/love/wank to/add ketchup to/whatever.

as long ppl respect the boundaries and not dig up pics of bloggers writing incognito and spreading them ard like herpes.

btw, well said,samantha. it’s alw been the case and it shall never end. who wants to eat a rotten tomato when given the chance? unless u r dead hungry, of coz.

Well, men are hard-coded to wanna look at beautiful women. Heck, even women likes looking at other women, with green eyes of course… but that’s a fact.

I only put up photos when I have ok-looking pics, I wouldn’t want to put up those that looked like something the cat dragged in, isn’t it?

It’s human nature, if not the cosmetic companies won’t be making multi-gazillions lor.
