Being an ugly woman is so painful.

I feel bad for this woman. It doesn’t have to be this way for her. The standard advice would work for her: go out, join clubs, meet people. Eventually someone you like will be into you too.

I’ve dated absurdly beautiful women and women most people would consider ugly. After a few weeks, trust me, you don’t even notice because you see the personality and not the outward aspects. Most guys are this way! Not all, but a bare majority for sure. And guys generally care about looks even less as they get older, mostly because they become less concerned about what their friends think.

One of the funniest experiences of dating a very beautiful woman, though, still makes me laugh. She was dressed to the nines and looked amazing and also was a good bit taller than me (even without heels). We were going to a fancy restaurant and we approached the maitre d’s stand. As she put her arm in mine, he took a look at me, took a look at her, and said, “Wait, she’s with you?”

With perfect timing, my date said, “I know, he’s doing me such a favor. He usually doesn’t date down but he said ‘just this one time….'”

Seeing the look on that smug maitre d’s face was so great. She was as fast as I am with that sort of thing, if not quicker. The restaurant was very good; the maitre d’, however, was a total shithead.
