What percentage of people would you say are good-looking?

I would say it is about 5% of the general adult population.

If you are talking about the college educated, upper middle class to wealthy crowd in my age group, then the number is more like 10%.

Within a few years of my age, I'd say:

2%--stunning.

That 2% applies to women only. The percentage of stunning hetero men is more like 0.5%.

10%-- very easy on the eyes.
the rest--ranging from nothing special to downright horrifying..

and you put Hillary in that 10%? You either need to revise your numbers, withdraw your Hillary support, or explain some kink that gets someone into your 10%.

Ahhh, thank you sweetie.

That's why I love you and have always refrained from mentioning the night you "slipped" and wound up with your tongue in a couple of guys' ears. But WTF, if Mr. Hand can't keep his damn mouth shut....

Is it my fault if I confused him with a hot, butch babe? He has womanly hands.

He said she was passable when she was younger. He didn't say she was very easy on the eyes.

I am having a hard time envisioning this concept. Anyone have a pic to share of an example of a hot butch babe? I need to be edified.

What is this, the paigow game of argumentation? Even Not me can distinguish my argument.

Hillary, in the picture posted, was not horrifying, from a purely visual standpoint. she falls in the creamy middle.

Damn right.

Who is the man that would risk his

Who's the cat that won't cop out when
there's danger all about?

Right on.

They say this cat TM is a bad mutha...
-Shut yo' mouth!
But I'm talkin' about TM...

He's a complicated man, but no one
understands him but his woman.

Signing my name for me doesn't hide the fact that it's pretty clear you have a little thing for me. Just don't get too attached. Papa's a rollin' stone.

I was watching one of my favorite shows: Plastic Surgery - Before and After on the Discovery Health Channel (soon to be renamed the Discovery Plastic Surgery Channel), and it was one of the all- New York episodes.

The guy/victim, who was ok-looking, but not great by any stretch, was getting lipo and the reason was "because NY is so competitive" looks-wise and "you have to keep up with the beautiful people". And then, presumably to illustrate the beautiful people, the camera took to the streets of NY and focused in on a bunch of girls' asses in jeans. And I thought "beautiful? - that is just what I see on the way to work." It looked pretty normal to me.

So my next deep thought was whether the rest of the country thinks what I think is typical is beautiful because someone who lives here would not think those asses were beautiful. I realize there are probably more good-looking people here than elsewhere because there are more models, lots of $ etc., but those girls' asses that they focused on were not model asses. So does the rest of the country think that the average New Yorker is better looking than the rest of the country's population?

Does she have to keep her Chicago roots to please you?

Quit tormenting Cubs fans with this Steve Bartman photo.

So, what percentage do you guys/gals think?

I would say 5-7% really gorgeous, about 25-30% attractive.

And it's a fairly small percentage that doesn't have at least some appealing feature.

I do have pretty soft hands, but I thought the 5 o'clock shadow would have given it away... but maybe not.

Shorter, but not better looking. On the other hand, Los Angelans are much better looking than the rest of the country.

Edited to add that South American women are exponentially better looking than any other locale I've ever been to in the U.S., and that includes Terre Haute, IN.

I'd say average Californian, not New Yorker.
