Anyway, I understand what you're saying. I went out in LA awhile back and every single woman looked exactly the same -- blonde, fake lips, fake tits, nose job, super skinny. That shit gets boring fast. It's like they're all trying to be the same person.

And it amazes me how many men judge the attractiveness level of a city on just how many of this type of woman live there. Whenever someone asks about where the hot women are, the answer is always the places where the concentrations of these girls are high. It's silly.

*The corollary to this is "the girl or boy next door" or "classic" good looks. As far as I can tell, all these things mean: white. In my mind, Taye Diggs has classic good looks, because I tend to think "classic" means very chiseled, strong features. But I've never seen anyone who wasn't white described this way. Similary, no one seems to have lived next to a hispanic, asian or black person.
