  • THERE WAS A HEADLINE THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION TODAY.

  • IT WAS WRITTEN BY THE NEW YORK POST A SOLO COURSE TAKE IT

  • WITH A GRAIN OF SALT BUT IT WAS A PROFILE OF SOME NEW

  • YORKERS AND THEIR DATING HABITS AND THOUGHT IT WAS TITLED

  • WHY I WON'T SAY HOT WOMEN ANYMORE.

  • I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT IT I PROCEEDED TO READ AND I'M

  • GLAD THAT I DID BECAUSE SOME OF THE QUOTES IN THIS ARTICLE

  • WERE INSUFFERABLE.

  • LET ME GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES THAT IT STARTS OFF WITH A

  • 40-YEAR-OLD GENTLEMAN BY THE NAME OF DANIEL ROSHKIND.

  • HE IS A SUCCESSFUL GUY AND I WOULD SAY OF AVERAGE LOOKS

  • AND THE ONLY REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS RELEVANT

  • TO THE STORY.

  • LET ME SAY WHAT HE FEELS ABOUT HIMSELF AND WHAT HE FEELS ABOUT

  • WHO HE IS STATED IN THE PAST AND WHO HE PREFERS TO DATE NOW.

  • HE SAYS I COULD HAVE DATED ANYONE.

  • HE'S NOW 40 AND AN UPPER WEST SIDE OR WITH A MUSCULAR

  • BUILD IN A FULL HEAD OF HAIR.

  • THAT'S HOW HE WAS DESCRIBED THAT I MET SOME NICE PEOPLE BUT

  • REALISTICALLY I WENT FOR THE HOTTEST OR YOU COULD FIND.

  • DAN ROSHKIND USED TO DATE MODELS, BUT HE'S HAPPIER NOW

  • THAT HE'S ENGAGED TO A MERELY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, CARLY SPINDLE.

  • WHAT IS MERELY BEAUTIFUL?

  • WHAT IS THAT MEAN?

  • WHAT?

  • WHO SAYS YOU KNOW WHAT?

  • THIS IS A GREAT ARTICLE TO BE A PART OF.

  • I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND THROW MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER

  • UNDER THE BUS AND MAKE HER THINK SHE IS NOT ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH

  • OR AT LEAST NOT AS ATTRACTIVE AS THE WOMEN I USED TO DATE THAT

  • I'M GONNA SETTLE FOR HER BECAUSE SHE IS A GOOD PERSONALITY.

  • YOU LOOK THEM UP BECAUSE HE IS MEDIOCRE AT BEST.

  • I REALLY HATE COMMENTING ON PEOPLE'S LOOKS BUT IT IS

  • JUST THE WAY THE HE REFERS TO HIMSELF, YOU WOULD THINK

  • THEY HE IS A GOD AND IT IS THE MOST ABSURD STORY.

  • I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS.

  • ANYWAY.

  • I DON'T LIKE THAT PICTURE BECAUSE THAT PICTURE MAKES

  • HER LOOK LIKE A LITTLE CRAZY BUT THAT IS NOT THE BEST

  • PICTURE FOR HER BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SHE IS FINE.

  • SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.

  • YOU CAN SEE THE DEFINITION IN THE SHOULDER, PECTORALS.

  • SHE'S FINE.

  • THEY GOT THE PICTURE WHERE SHE LOOKS

  • A LITTLE OFF TO SUPPORT THIS WHOLE NARRATIVE.

  • SHE'S GOT MICHELLE BACHMANN ON THE COVER OF NEWSWEEK EYES.

  • LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT SOMETHING AND I AM BEING GENUINE AND WHAT

  • I'M SAYING AND I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE YOU DISAGREE WITH ME.

  • SHE IS NOT THE ONE WHO WON IN THIS SCENARIO, YOU ARE THE

  • WINNER.

  • SHE IS GORGEOUS AND ANYWAY, LET ME CONTINUE.

  • HE SAYS

  • BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WHO GET A FAIR AMOUNT OF ATTENTION GET

  • FULL OF THEMSELVES.

  • BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE VERY HUMBLE GENTLEMAN THAT

  • THEY SHOULD BE SO LUCKY AS TO HAVE MY ATTENTION.

  • I HAVE A FULL HEAD OF HAIR.

  • BY THE WAY, THERE ARE INSEPARABLE WOMEN LATER ON

  • IN THIS ARTICLE AS WELL.

  • BEAUTIFUL WOMEN TO GET A FAIR AMOUNT OF ATTENTION GET

  • FULL OF THEMSELVES.

  • EVENTUALLY, I WAS DREADING GETTING DINNER WITH THEM

  • BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T CARRY CONVERSATION.

  • SO THE STEREOTYPE THAT IF YOU ARE AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN,

  • YOU CANíT CARRY CONVERSATION.

  • YOU KNOW, HE'S

  • GOD'S GIFT TO HUMANITY AND HE UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO SUFFER

  • AND SETTLE FOR SOMEONE WHO'S NOT AS ATTRACTIVE AS WHAT HE

  • WOULD'VE PREFERRED BUT AT LEAST SHE CAN CARRY A CONVERSATION.

  • HERE'S WHAT HE SAYS THAT I CAN'T TAKE IT.

  • IT CONTINUES.

  • WEíRE LOSING ANNA.

  • SOMEONE TIE HER DOWN.

  • HERE'S WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT HIS FIANC…E, HE IS ENGAGED TO HER.

  • SHE IS A SOFTER BEAUTY, SOMEONE YOU CAN TAKE HOME AND

  • CUDDLE WITH, AND SHE'S VERY ELEGANT.

  • SHE'S 5í2î, SO SHE CANíT BE A RUNWAY MODEL,

  • WHAT A DICK.

  • BUT I THINK SHE'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND IS PRETTIER

  • THAN ANYONE I'VE DATED THAT SO TRIES TO SAVE HIMSELF IN

  • THE END BUT STILL, WHAT?

  • WOW.

  • I DO BELIEVE SHE'S PRETTIER THAN ANYONE HE'S EVER

  • DATED, BUT WHEN I LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID OR WHEN I READ IT,

  • I WAS LIKE OBVIOUSLY HE DOESN'T KNOW THE LAWS OF ATTRACTION.

  • HE IS SHALLOW, SUPERFICIAL, SO COURSES GONNA ATTRACTIVE

  • SORTS OF PEOPLE.

  • KNOW, BUT HE'S GROWN-UP AND HE'S DECIDED YOU KNOW,

  • COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS.

  • ALL GO FOR THE LESS ATTRACTIVE PERSON, AND HIS EYES LESS

  • ATTRACTIVE PERSON.

  • I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS GUY.

  • NOW LET'S GO TO BENEDICT BACKFIELD, A BROOKLYN

  • WRITER AND HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.

  • MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, PEOPLE WHO ARE BETTER LOOKING ARE LESS

  • LIKELY TO PURSUE ADVANCED DEGREES, OR PLAY AN INSTRUMENT

  • OR LEARN OTHER LANGUAGES, SAYS BENEDICT GOLD,

  • 37-YEAR-OLD BROOKLYN WRITER WITH A DOCTORATE IN PHILOSOPHY

  • AND THE BODY OF AN ADONIS.

  • HE DOESN'T.

  • BUT HE'S QUICK TO NOTE THAT HE'S NOT JUST A GREAT SET

  • OF ABS, HE ALSO PLAYS THE VIOLIN AND SPEAKS SEVEN LINKAGES.

  • 40 TALKING ABOUT?

  • IF YOU'RE AN ATTRACTIVE PERSON AND YOU HAVE THESE TALENTS

  • WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE'S

  • ATTRACTIVE, THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE STEREOTYPE

  • TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE LANGUAGE OR HAS ANY TALENT.

  • THIS IS CRAZY.

  • I WONDER IF HE CAN SAY DOUCHE BAG AND ALL OF THOSE LANGUAGES.

  • AND SPEAKS SEVEN LANGUAGES.

  • IT'S DOUCHE BAG, DOUCHE BAG, ETC.

  • GO TO A WOMAN BECAUSE AS I MENTIONED, THERE WERE WOMEN

  • IN THIS ARTICLE THAT WERE JUST AS BAD.

  • MEGAN YOUNG IS ONE OF THEM.

  • SHE SAYS IS A PERSON WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLIMENTED ON

  • MY STUNNING BEAUTY, I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A HOT GUY TO

  • MATCH THAT LABEL THAT I'D ALWAYS BEEN GIVEN.

  • BUT AFTER DATA OR TWO, THOUGH HAVE PROBLEMS HANGING OUT

  • WITH YOU AND THEN WE'LL GHOST.

  • HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE GUY SHE IS WITH NOW AND SHE JUST

  • KIND OF TALKS ABOUT HIM LIKE HE IS NOT GOOD-LOOKING.

  • HE SUPER GOOD-LOOKING.

  • AND THAT PICTURE OF HER SHE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE

  • MOMS FROM THE SHOWS WERE THE DAUGHTERS OF DANCERS.

  • THE DANCE MOM SHOWED THAT

  • WATCHES STEP HERE, I LOVE THAT SHOWED THAT

  • YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

  • YOU'RE RIGHT THAT

  • ABOUT GOOD-LOOKING, BUT THIS NOTION.

  • THE WAY SHE'S DESCRIBING HER RELATIONSHIP, SHE MAKES IT

  • SEEM LIKE SHE'S A SUPERMODEL AND THAT HE IS THE MOST AVERAGE

  • LOOKING GUY THAT YOU GUYS ARE COMPARABLE ATTRACTIVENESS.

  • WHAT'S GOING ON?

  • THIS IS WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT HIM THAT HE'S NOT A MODEL, BUT

  • HE SO MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE IN WHO HE IS AS A PERSON.

  • IT MAKES UP FOR HIS STUPID FACE.

  • HIS TERRIBLE GROSS UGLY FACE.

  • I'LL SHARE THIS STORY AND I FEEL VERY VULNERABLE WHEN I TELL

  • BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH I WENT TO KOREA AND PEOPLE KEPT

  • STARING AT ME AND I FELT A LITTLE WEIRD.

  • I ASKED ONE OF THE WOMEN I WAS WITH HER TO WORK, WHY DO

  • PEOPLE KEEP STARING AT ME?

  • AND SHE WAS LIKE A NEBULOUS WITH THE?

  • BECAUSE IN KOREA, YOU'RE CONSIDERED UGLY.

  • YOUR TALL AND YOUR DARK INTO THEM, THAT'S AN ATROCITY.

  • YOUR LIKE KING KONG OR GODZILLA.

  • I REALLY JOKE ABOUT IT.

  • SO I WENT TO ISRAEL LAST YEAR AND THE MEN WOULD KEEP

  • TALKING TO ME AND SAYING OH MY GOD, YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL.

  • MY POINT IS IT'S ALL RELATIVE.

  • IT DEPENDS ñ THE FACT THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE A GLOBAL BEAUTY

  • AND THAT YOU ARE THE STANDARD OF BEAUTY IS THE REASON WHY WE HAVE

  • SO MANY YOUNG WOMEN WHO HAVE EATING DISORDERS AND ARE TRYING

  • TO DISTORT THEIR FACES BECAUSE THE STANDARD OF BEAUTY THAT

  • KEEPS BEING PUSHED ON PEOPLE AND THEIR CRAZY.

  • NOT CRAZY, SICK.

  • NARCISSISM IS AN ILLNESS THAT NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T WALK

  • AROUND THINKING STUFF LIKE THIS.

  • WE DID A STORY ON POP TRIGGER ABOUT THIS AND THERE WAS A

  • WHOLE LIST OF THE IDEAL COUNTRY TO COUNTRY AROUND THE WORLD

  • AND IT WAS SO VERY DIFFERENT.

  • I JUST THINK THAT ASIDE FROM WHETHER YOU CAN GO BACK HOME TO

  • YOUR WIFE AT THE END OF THIS, YOUR FIANC

  • OR WHATEVER AND SHE

  • CAN LET YOU SLEEP IN THE BED TONIGHT, PEOPLE IN THIS ARTICLE,

  • EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING JUST SOUNDS SO COMPLAINING THAT YOU

  • HAVE THIS THING AND YOU WOULD RATHER BLAME ANYONE ELSE IN THE

  • WORLD FOR YOUR FEELINGS IN THE ROMANTIC ARENA EXCEPT FOR YOU.

  • EXCEPT THAT'S A GOOD POINT THAT

  • IS NOT ME, IT'S BECAUSE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ARE TERRIBLE.

  • NO, JUST FIND SOMEONE WHO YOU THINK IS HOT, WHATEVER THAT

  • MEANS, AND JUST DATE THEM.

  • ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE IN GENERAL, BASED ON WHATEVER WE CONSIDER

  • ATTRACTIVE, WE GIVE THEM THE LABEL OF NOT BEING INTELLIGENT

  • WHICH IS A LIE.

  • YOU WATCH THIS SHOW DAILY, YOU SEE THESE

  • ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE AND THEY ARE INTELLIGENT AND WELL SPOKEN.

  • IíM BEING REAL HERE.

  • WE CAN JUST BE HONEST ABOUT IT.

  • YOU HEAR IN COMEDY ALL

  • THE TIME THAT THE MORE ATTRACTIVE THE COMEDIAN IS,

  • THE LESS LIKELY THEY ARE TO BE FUNNY BECAUSE ATTRACTIVE

  • PEOPLE DON'T HAVE STRUGGLES IN LIFE.

  • THEY DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS.

  • LISTEN, IT TAKES ALL KINDS.

  • I WOULD SAY IN BASKETBALL, OR ANY SPORT, THERE'S PEOPLE

  • WHO HAVE MORE PHYSICAL TALENT.

  • IN MY SEVEN AND EIGHT-YEAR-OLD BASKETBALL LEAGUE THERE WERE

  • PEOPLE WHO WERE JUST FASTER BUT THEN THERE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE

  • FASTER AND WORK AT IT AND PEOPLE WHO ARE FASTER AND DIDNíT.

  • I DO

  • BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE CONSIDERED ATTRACTIVE, YOU HAVE

  • AN OPPORTUNITY TO EITHER JUST REST ON THAT

  • AND SOME PEOPLE DO.

  • OR DEVELOP WHATEVER OTHER SKILLS OR PERSONALITY THAT

  • YOU WANT TO DO.

  • I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THAT I'M THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS

  • PERSON WHO NEVER STEREOTYPES.

  • I STEREOTYPED THE HELL OUT OF MY HUSBAND WHEN I MET HIM.

  • HE WAS A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER.

  • HE'S HOT.

  • HE IS HOT.

  • I FOLLOW HIM ON INSTAGRAM.

  • I ASKED HIM, ONE OF THE FIRST QUESTIONS WAS ARE YOU

  • INTERESTED IN NEWS AND POLITICS?

  • HE SAID NO AND I SAID WHAT ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?

  • HE SAID SPORTS.

  • I IMMEDIATELY ASSUMED HE WAS DUMB.

  • THAT WAS THE

  • MOST UNFAIR STEREOTYPE THAT I COULD GIVE HIM BECAUSE HE ENDED

  • UP BEING SO CREDIBLY SMART AND CHARMING AND LOVING.

  • AND OR CHEMISTRY THAT IF I HAD JUST FOLLOWED THAT RIDICULOUS

  • STEREOTYPE I HAD MY HEAD THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE ENDED UP WITH

  • HIM AND I WOULD'VE BEEN ASHAMED THAT WE ALL FALL VICTIM TO THAT.

  • TRY NOT TO DO IT.

  • TRY TO COURSE CORRECT AND GIVE THAT PERSON AN OPPORTUNITY

  • TO PROVE THEMSELVES.

  • BUT DON'T YOU THINK IF SOMEONE WENT THERE SOMETHING

  • ROUGH AND CAME OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, I DO FEEL LIKE IF

  • SOMEONE WENT THROUGH A CHARMED LIFE AND A CHARMED EXISTENCE AND

  • NEVER WAS CHALLENGED BY ANYTHING.

  • I DO FEEL LIKE THAT PERSON HAS

  • THE SCARS GIVE CHARACTER.

  • AT THE SAME, BEING LIKE OH,

  • PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE OR NEVER GO THROUGH ANYTHING

  • NEGATIVE ARE BY DEFINITION WORSE BY THE ONES WHO WENT

  • THROUGH HARDSHIP AND CAME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE?

  • MY GIRLFRIEND WAS IN BAND.

  • I FEEL LIKE THAT WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE HER A NERD AND HAVE TO

  • BATTLE THROUGH.

  • I THINK EVERYONE DOES THEIR CHALLENGES.

  • I DONíT THINK

  • ANYONE HAS A CHARMED LIFE EVEN IF IT APPEARS TO BE SO.

  • EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STRUGGLES TYPING SOCIAL MEDIA KIND OF

  • DISTORTS WHAT THE REALITY IS FOR THE MAJORITY PEOPLE.

  • THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO SHARE THE

  • STRUGGLES ONLINE.

  • THEY ONLY SHOW THE ONES THAT THEY WANT TO BRAG ABOUT

  • THAT THE THINGS THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED INSIDE GREAT THINGS

  • THAT ARE HELPING AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT WHATEVER IT IS.

  • NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT MY PARENTS ARE DIVORCING.

  • SOME PEOPLE DO ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IT'S ALWAYS REALLY

  • AWKWARD THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T AND I THINK THAT GIVES YOU

  • A DISTORTED REALITY.

  • I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A ROOM FULL OF SUPERHOT WOMEN WHO

  • ARE READING THIS ARTICLE AND GO, YEAH, ALL THESE RICH DOUCHE

  • BAGS DON'T EVEN ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PERSONALITY THAT I

  • WANTED TO TALK ABOUT MY QUANTUM PHYSICS DEGREE, BUT THEY

  • DIDN'T EVEN THINK TO ASK BECAUSE THEY ARE DOUCHE BAGS.

  • I AGREE WITH YOU TOO AND I AM REALLY BIG ON THAT SPECIFICALLY

  • SOMEONE WHO COMES FROM A LOW WERE SUCH SOCIOECONOMIC PLACE,

  • IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR ME THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE STRUGGLED

  • DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOURS, DOESN'T MEAN IT IS AS VALID.

  • THEIR PEOPLE I KNOW WHO GREW UP REST AND GROW UP IN A HOUSE WITH

  • PEOPLE WHO ARE MOLESTING THEM OR THEY WERE BEING NEGLECTED.

  • DRUG OR ALCOHOL ABUSE.

  • THERE'S ALL KINDS OF THINGS PEOPLE COPE WITHOUT THE POINT

  • OF THE STORY IS DON'T STEREOTYPE AND ALSO TAKE A QUICK MOMENT TO

  • REFLECT ON YOUR SELF AND THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN FLAWS AND WHAT

  • YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RELATIONSHIP

  • THAT IT IS NOT ABOUT LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS LESS ATTRACTIVE.

  • IT'S ABOUT LOOKING FOR SOMEONE YOU CAN COMPROMISE WITH AND

  • HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH AND THAT IS WHAT YOU REALLY HAVE IN

  • A RELATIONSHIP.

  • IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PARTNERSHIP, NOT A

  • VANITY CONTEST.

THERE WAS A HEADLINE THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION TODAY.
