Misanthropy Today

Someone sent me this video today and it got me thinking about something I’ve thought about a lot. I’m a boy that really likes personality, but I also have physical standards for women.

This is the recipe for a miserable life.

Watch this video and then read on:

If you’re a single guy you probably understand the paradox of finding an attractive woman who is also intelligent and has a good personality.

That is: attractive women usually have poor personalities.

Also: unattractive women sometimes have very good personalities.

To save time, please add “usually” or “for the most part” to most statements below. I don’t want to hear comments like “well I’m hot and smart!” or “my wife/girlfriend/sister…”

I. Introduction

If personality is a sign of intelligence, the argument could be made that those with good looks have used up all their genetic currency and therefore don’t have much left for other endeavors. I tend to see personality as more of a process of trial and error. This trial and error is the friction that turns someone with a bad personality into someone with a good personality.

You’re not born with personality.

Use the example of friction and heat involved in turning a piece of coal (dullard) into a diamond (good personality).

The problem with goodlooking women is that this process never happens because if a hot girl (of any age) says something or makes a joke, our response is often tempered by the fact that they’re hot.

Example:

Ugly Chick: I sort of enjoy American Idol, it’s junk food but entertaining nonetheless.
You: American Idol is a mockery of music and culture. We’re a culture defined by our least refined. Don’t think you can just watch that kind of stupidity and walk away unscathed, that kind of cheese seeps in whether you want it to or not.

Hot Babe: I just love American Idol.
You: Yeah, it’s a pretty good show.

If someone does challenge a hot girl’s sensibilities, they will probably disregard it because it’s probably coming from someone ugly.

You, dear reader, are probably ugly, and you are apart of the problem.

Where most people try to cultivate their personality by engaging in enriching activities, reading books, self-criticism and development, and seeking to place themselves in the company of interesting people, the goodlooking chick just works to make herself more physically attractive.

Where the ugly girl is at home reading the classics, likely getting uglier, the hot girl is at the mall getting all the latest fashions and at the beach tanning, getting hotter.

So the target for both of them moves further away.

II. Abberations

“Sir, not all ugly women have good personalities”.

You’re right. There is also the marginally attractive woman who thinks she is attractive and does not need to develop a personality. These are the most annoying because again, we value both looks and personality/intelligence but have hitleresque disdain for someone who has neither. Especially those who have neither and think they have both.

III. Conclusion

Like with everything else in life, it’s later than you think. Also, even Hot Babes are capable of pattern recognition.

Sooner or later, the hot babe (hereafter HB) or Marginally Attractive (MA) will get tired of being dumped for uglier but more interesting women. They will realize that while they are attractive, for some reason nobody keeps them around for very long.

This is why you will often find women in their late 20’s to 40’s who suddenly are trying to take the “fast-track” to personality.

This usually includes one of the following:

• goofy religious views
• silly spirituality
• crazy politics
• assorted esoterica
• Burning Man Attendance

We all know the 35 year old former babe whose looks are waning who suddenly claims to be a Buddhist or yoga fanatic, and wants to make you listen to her talk unintelligently about it.

Or the 30’s twit who wasted so many years in the dance clubs thinks to herself “ok I need to make something of this”, so she buys some Technics and subscribes to BPM magazine and suddenly thinks she’s a cool, urban DJ type. Go to the Winter Music Conference, its crawling with em.

The list goes on and on. Feel free to comment with other examples and stories about your own trials and tribulations.
