Juan's Pointless Anthropological Studies

Chapter One: Stunners and Mingers

In my line of work, and in general I like to people watch. I like to sit back and observe the general characteristics of human behaviour. In other words, yes, I am a perve. LOL

Anyway, on many of my observations, I seem to notice that good looking people always stick around and flock with other good looking people while other who are 'facially enept' seem to hang around with others who aren't as blessed facially. Why is this?

Now, as you read this think about your group of friends. Are they as a whole good looking - or otherwise? Now, think of how you guys met. Did you actively scan these people in the first place and think "Oh this person is good looking, they HAVE to be my friend" or "Geez, this persons uuugly, he/she MUST have a nice personality, I think I'll talk to them"? I'm pretty sure you probably did neither. If you did, shame on you! Saying that, why do people attract other people who are as visually similar as eachother? It's hard to see why this is the case with groups of friends, but this isn't such the case with couples.

Angelina Jolie. She has nice lips...


At least he has a house with a fireplace



Now, here's the deal that applies with couples. Good looking people KNOW that they can bag a stunner, others THINK that they can't even breathe the same air as a stunner so they go for something right up their alley, they THINK they have a better chance. Perhaps it is a self-conscious/confidence issue which is sad. Yes, there are strange instances where one might mix with the other (Beyonce and Jay Z) and in those instances I'm happy for them - but for the most part this is usually not the case. For some, those instances above may be a conscientious decision by one (or both) parties but I think for the most part, it's something that most don't really think about and it just happens.

Why am I writing this? I have no idea. Am I a bitter minger? LOL perhaps. Actually, I'm probably just writing this out of boredom...


... I think I'll go downstairs and watch some TV

Nice treatment there Juan of the rules of attraction. If I am the only one to admit it then yes, looks are important - but only in those first few crucial seconds of meeting someone. You either think they are hot or look like ass. After that it matters less and less. If that even makes sense?

What category do you put those people in who are butt ugly but have delusions of being able to bag a hottie?

haha, I'm so mean. >;)

Hmm I put that in the category of just downright delusional.

I disagree. I cannot imagine the various times i've seen a really gorgeous chick be all over a fat slob. And i'm talking about when girls come after me. Haha. I'm below average looking. Maybe i might even break even to some of the uglier girls. That being said, i have also dated some glamours. It could just be in my confident nature, but i find in my own pervasion that girls tend to be attracted to a good energy and confident personality, whilst guys tend to gravitate to physical attraction first. Which makes sense... good looking guys who know they are good looking are ALWAYS confident in themselves and carry energy and charisma with themselves, so to ladies, it's like a win-win situation. That's how i see it personally. So what's the morale? My trick is to assume confidence. Girls will go from "Why the hell is this guy so out going? He has more confidence than he ought to too.." to making out with my in the back seat of my dad's car wondering what the hell happenned along the way. I don't want to give you the wrong impression though, that only happens 3.5 times a year. But when it does, i make sure it's with the sober-drop dead glamour-designated driver of the group. I avoid girls who are intoxicated, because to me, personally, that's unnattractive. I enjoy a chase.

Peace-

P.S. Juan.. speaking from a completely hetero point of view.. you have above average looks. And you definately have a nice smile, it's sincere and warm. Girls dig that. I'd go as far as to say your an attractive type of fellow. I'm being borderline gay here, but i'd like to think i'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to be saying this. Get out there and make a supermodel's day Juan, u sexy beast.
