Right. All those folks in San Francisco with tattoos and facial piercings and blue hair look exactly like me.

And don't get me started on people of Asian, African, or Latino descent. I go crazy having people call me Juan, Chin-sop, Muhammad, or Kwame, only to realize that they had mistaken me for someone else.

I have noticed an increasing number of facial tats. And by increasing number, I mean - 0 for my entire life: 3 in the past week.
I'm not talking tiny little teardrops or facial makeup tats. I'm talking full blow roadmaps on the forehead and cheeks.

Agreed. And lucky for you all, women aren't as looks obsessed as men are.

However, lose all your money and we are out the door.

feeling some peer pressure? you could be cutting edge if you get it done and report back to us. heck, even PLF might bow to you, or whatever cute little cats in pointy hats do these days...

Disagree. Maybe some of it is weight, but there is also the latino/latina thing that does (I think) result in all around better looks than many of the people in the US. The melting pot didn't necessarily start us all off with the best looking genes. Of course this could be related to my overall tall/dark/handsome "type" that is non-negotiable.

Ho aspettato, il mio caro, voi per ammettere questo a noi tutti. Sono sei il ragazzo che del piede undici avete accennato, ora io so perchè non verremo a contatto di più presto? La vita è crudele!

That's because most of them have great figures, know how to dress (so important), and while there is an abundance of quality lingerie in the city, none of the women feel compelled to wear any (as my husband noticed over and over and over again).
But then there's that smoking thing that killed it for him.

Well I'm still working up the nerve to get that "fin" that's so in (see Pink).
But if and when I do that, I'll report back on the facial tat. I'm thinking I-80 Emeryville clusterfuck aka "the maze."

I'm 1 out of 3, is that good enough?

Does your definition of NY include NJ and BBQ? Or are you just talking Manhattan?

Drop dead gorgeous - 5%

Really fucking hot - 10%

Exotic (not perfect, but unique in a hot way) - 10%

Great body, bad face - 25%

Great face, bad body - 20%

Average looking (neither hot nor ugly on the whole) - 15%

Unattractive - 7%

Fucked up looking (not really classically 'ugly' - more freakish) - 3%

Classically ugly - 5%

The fucked up thing is I see tons of people who, but for one glaring massive flaw, could be really attractive. Sometimes they get made over and hit the gym and you see them years later and say "Damn, she looks fucking great." This usually doesn't happen for guys. Most guys seem to age into fatness, baldness and slovenliness.

Wait a minute -- what have you done with our Sebby? A rational, reasoned, well-thought-out post? Who are you?

Seriously though, I think this category breakdown is a swell idea. I mean, if you had to take the whole world and divide them into "good-looking" or "ugly" it would probably be 70/30 (g-l/u). There are some butt-ugly people out there (Gareth anyone?), but honestly, most people aren't either super hot nor super ugly.

In fact, but for my slight modification of switching Sebby's percentages of "freakish" and "classically ugly", I am totally with him on this one.

Depends. How dark are you?

But I still think the slinky European chicks are the hottest. A warm Spring day in Paris made my head turn a hell of a lot more than LA or NYC ever did. Then again, maybe that was just a lucky day...

My brother (who, not to sound too Sebby about this -- wasn't it Sebby who talked about what a babe his sister was? -- is a very good-looking guy) thought that the chicks in NY were hot, hot, hot. He never lived in LA, though, but he did live in SF.

I think it's the combination of the things others have already pointed out -- people with lots of $$, a lot of "competition" to have the perfect body, etc., and people who are very into fashion. Also the thing about the "melting pot" as opposed to the b[l]each blonde look (talking about LA/Hollywood stereotype -- not the whole of California).

Eh. Whatever.

Hello??? There may be a large population of smart business women, but did you ever ride one of the alphabet trains?
