The bra discrepancy can be objectively settled once and for all and I encourage Shifter to fairly assess the size label.

I think assholes are beautiful. I've petitioned Playboy for more red-eye for years. Alas, they claim some generally accepted standard of beauty applies.
Where does "not unattractive" fall? Are there more people who are "not unattractive" than there are "unattractive" people?

Because I'm really very fond of "not unattractive."

You catch on quick NOT! But then you would have saved us 11000 posts.

There are times that being honest is not a desireable trait?

Do I look fat in this dress?
Were you listening to me?
Is your chicken fresh?
Is your buffalo wing sauce spicy?

Are not attractive people therefore ugly?

(I had a hard time with the Logic class I took in college and could only pass the exams if I got high first. I may need to go looking to see what dope is in the house.)
I suggest drawing a Venn Diagram on your rolling papers.

No the harsh way you initially worded it left room for doubt. it was a damning missive not softened by any sort of throw her a bone type softening type language that is generally couched as tact. You are a wordsmith. Even if your brash on line persona is known for not pulling any punches you could have softened the blow and you chose not to. I bet you money after today shapey won't go all batshit on me about how ugly I am and how my bra I must be lying.
Shapey was raised in more or less the south and is polite and gentlemanly. He probably still gets all screwed up on elevators in TCOTU because he tries to make way for women when it's just a cutthroat shoving match. So I think you can rest assured that whatever he thinks, and whatever he may say to various people with whom he is closeish friends, he will neither tell you to your face nor describe on the board the ways in which you fail to be attractive.

Unless you really piss him off.

Or unless TCOTU has changed him a lot.

1. I've never been accused of being a wordsmith. It's an unfair and unkind thing to say and I want you to take it back.

2. I told you I would be straightforward. In this case, "throwing you a bone" would mean I wasn't being truthful. I said exactly what I thought in the most straightforward way. If you are upset because I didn't say that someone could find you attractive, I can't be sorry for that. Straightforward means straightforward. Ask a wordsmith.

3. You have basically said you would have posted exactly what I said, except you would have thrown in something that wasn't true. There was no blow to soften. I didn't say you were ugly. I said you were not pretty. If you have been walking around thinking you're pretty, then, I can see how your feelings got hurt. But I didn't embellish. Like I said, I was straightforward.

Crap.

Any suggestions where I might find something similar?

That's like 60% of people. Its truly rare to meet someone you can actually say is "ugly." Unattractive is a common thing.

I think most of us fall into the not unattractive category, but it has many grades within it.

Of course, none of this means anything if you subscribe to ppnyc's Jeff Skilling-esque booking of "attractive."

How did you know about the elevators? Freaky.

Sorry but that would be pot:kettle, since you spend your entire day on an internet board with lawyers, with the highlight being you get to publicly declare some paralegal fat. It may be worth a brief chuckle, but you're retarded that you practically live for this shit. Anyone stepping back for a while can see both you and patentpara are equally retarded. Sorry, but that's the honest truth.

I think he's a hard grader. all I'm saying and shit everyone here agrees.
I have an ex-boyfriend who has fibrous dysplasia. His head is literally deformed by weird bone growths in his skull (actually right now it's deformed because half his skull isn't there and he's waiting for the metal plate to be constructed, but I digress). He, objectively, is probably ugly or at least grotesque (at least, before he had the surgery, I haven't seen him since the surgery, and there was a plastic surgeon involved in putting him back together again).

But when we were dating, I found him to be attractive. He has some rather remarkable features that help lessen the deformities and he does what he can to draw your attention away from the top of his head. I guess I'm saying that ugly people can be attractive, at least if they have other good qualities that minimize their flaws.

I saw it happen to a fellow associate when we had to go to TCOTU for due diligence on something the client didn't buy.

You didn't answer the question. I was asking for splits betweeen "attractive" "not unattractive" and "unattractive."

That is what I mean. He *SO* lives to do stuff like that. At my expense. which I volunteered for. which makes me a frickin dolt. But I got my way. At the min. even if I don't ah, meet his standards, even he agrees I am not ugly.

And Sebby I see plenty o ugly. it ain't rare. UGLY AND OLD maybe you drive in.
