Yeah you can't tell anything from a pic. I never have been able to honestly. People have shown me pics of guys and said, isn't he hot? And I seriously would have no idea. (though I will come clean and admit that Cawacko's selfies are hot, but often I really can't tell) But the fact is that men who degrade women's looks on the internet always make me laugh. 9 and 1/2 times out of ten they couldn't get with someone half as good looking as the person they are deriding. It's a way for men to degrade women, and I don't like it.
Most imporantly, it just has nothing to do with the subject. First of all, like Weiner is attractive? Really? I have always thought he was gross, and I saw him up close at a PP rally, like from a few feet away. And this was long before his slimy behavior came out. Cawacko's thesis that men use power and money to attract women and women use their looks to attract men is something my effing grandfather believed. Come on guys! Wake up! Women like hot men! Oftimes we have our own money and power! Personally, I believe that's what a lot of men don't like. YOu don't think they want to be put under the microscope as they have always done to women do you? Yeah, no.
Lastly, the fact remains (that other than you Mott), the women on this thread were making interesting points, and the men behaved like morons. Whatever. Be proud of it. That's who you are. Good for you. The world needs morons. Okay, maybe not as many as we currently have, but there is a need.
