Sad part is I think they were brought in by one of the paralegals. The Man doesn't even give us cookies.

So there has been much discussion on this phenomena, but does the other (i.e., hot guy, not-hot girl) exist very often? I can think of one guy I went to high school with that I think would have fallen into the "hot" category (I don't really have a basis to judge, but he seemed like he should have been: face seemed ok, good hair, athletic body (good swimmer), smart, reasonably well off family, polite, funny but not too funny so as to be annoying). He had a girlfriend a little on the heavy side. Not really fat, but maybe a size 12-14, whose face wasn't all that either.

But that's the only one that leaps out at me, but is may be that I am insensitive enough to such things that only the really obvious disparities pop out at me (I'd guess he was at least a 9, she was a 4-5). So do people who pay more attention notice a bidirectionality?

Not usually. I think this is because what society tends to value in a woman is right out there for everyone to view (face, bod/weight, TITS) so men, even hurl-inducing men, try to get the most and best of these valued traits in their mates. The valued traits of men, on the other hand, tend to be hidden (money and a big dick) so physical attractiveness doesn't equate to value.

In the end, a "valued" woman can be with an otherwise not so handsome "valued" man and when people see it they assume he has a big wallet or a big cock so even if he doesn't the girl gets points. A guy dating a horse-face has his sanity questioned -- there are no society points for a woman's personality, wealth or ability to cook.

To demonstrate, when he married me my husband's dick became 12 inches long -- at least his friends figure it must be that big because they know he doesn't have any of his own money.

Again perhaps a Minnesota deal, but I see this in cases where the woman was once as hot as or hotter than the guy and then had a bunch of kids and can't lose the baby weight.

Cousin's wife was very cute when they married. Cuter than cousin. Three kids later she is not as hot as him.

Mr Man has the braun one that you dip in the cleaner solution. I don't think he thinks it shaves as close as a blade, but it shaves fairly close. Apparently you have to shave with it for a period of time (5 days? a week? something like that) before your chin hairs get used to it and you get the optimum shave. Maybe that is true for all electrics.

I wonder how long it takes one's chin hairs to get used to other new things.

Well, I would use it under these circumstances. Mainly cause I am too lazy to change it.

There it is then.

It's fringey's talk of her ass deforestation that did the trick, wasn't it?

Okay. In that case, I think you should know that ltl/fb is really a man. And not a hot man. NTTAWWT.

Because they're a whimsical surprise with every bite. They have gigantic grains that look like salt, and they're shaped like pretzels, so you're always a bit startled that it's sugar and they taste like a cookie instead!

Those wacky Dutch.

This one's definitely not just a MN deal.

In instances where the looks disparity cannot be explained by looking at old pictures, I've found that lots of times the guy turns out to be a closet case. But maybe that's just Mormons.

That person leaves said items in a common area for others to take. Others try to avoid, but eventually break down and eat one when walking by. Entire box/tin is gone within the afternoon.

What does that have to do with classy?

So SS's firmmates were regifted by someone who is declasse enough to have a friend who bought them a tin of early 80s cookies at CostCo? I think the facts speak for themselves.

BUt all shit flows downhill and all really bad snacks get consumed, just not til later in the day.

It's exactly like law school. A bunch of overfed privileged big-firm-denizens-to-be would hover over every half-assedly catered faculty event and the second it was over descend on the crumbling leftovers like famished hyenas on carrion.

Just plain undignified.

Don't be cross, I knew it wasn't you. I just recognized the words from a PM.

Since you're looking for a Cablinasian bride for Tiger in order to closely to mirror his mixed-race ancestry, might I suggest newly elected S.F. DA Kamala Harris? This only works if "ca" stands for Carribean, and "in" stands for non-American Indian, facts I disclose to you in case Harris/Woods fails to meet your especially rigorous non-miscegenation standards.

I know that. NTTAWWT with the love that dare not speak its name, but I didn't say there would be any hanky panky, just that I woud treat for dinner.

FWIW, for the record etc et al. before he jumped the shark and earned my well-deserved loathing, PLF treated me to a platter of the other white meat, cheese. Notwithstanding that generosity, I did not have sexual relations with that Flower, Mr. PLF.
