I’ve just cast my mind over the group of people I’d call friends (rather than just people I know reasonably well) and not a single one of them is ugly.
some of them are in a band, pictures of which can be seen at weareperformance.co.uk
Another friend of mine looks like Tom Cruise, but taller and with lighter brown hair.
I can’t believe I’m that shallow. Okay, I can believe I’m that shallow, but on the other hand all my good friends are pretty smart and funny.
I like this title - because people will either have to come on the thread, and say “I have ugly friends” at which point they’ve basically called all their friends… How can I put this politely…? “Aestheticly challeneged in the facial area” or come on and say “Yeah - I have no ugly friends either” At which point they will get tarred with the same brush, if there is a tarbrush involved anywhere.
Or three, just argue the good points of being ugly, at which point they’ll be either admitting “I’m ugly and proud” or, if they have a devastatingly handsome/beautiful pic hanging in the ILP gallery, get acused of being condescending at best, or patronizing at worst.
Well done SIATD - a thread which is wholly unpostable-on. If that’s an proper word. 
I have a lot of ugly friends, to be honest with you i like the people who arn;t so ugly, a little bit more…
I was on a date with a girl once, after which, i started thinking if i would ever date her again, if she wasn;t good looking. i decided i wouldn’t so i never went out with her again. so i don’t think im very shallow.
Ugly people can get annoying really fast, just like some good looking people, not because thats how people are, rather because of how they look. Good looking people arn;t as bad as the ugly ones because, everyone knows that a conceited good looking person will end up hurting how they come off. ugly people arn’t told that when they act like people shouldn’t care that they’re a genetic fuck-mess, comes off just as annoying, which isn’t equally as annoying at all, really because they’re ugly and ugly people arn’t respected as easily as good looking ones, they’ve done studies on babies, it seems good looking people are preferd by even babies.
hmmm maybe we should do what iv always wanted to do, build a giant tub and put all the ugly people in it naked, im sure some ofthem would get laid, we could also throw some greasy food in so they’re extra happy, we could charge each other money to see the bowl of ugly having sex and eating greasy food, tell our kids to be good and follow like blind sheep else they will end up in there. Its not like it would be cruel im sure a lot of them would go in out of free will, we could use it to reduce world stupidity too, have a obstickle course above the tub, not a physical one but a mental course that people have to figure out how to get across or they’ll fall in the tub, this would be great for the ugly smart people, they could have good looking stupid slaves. im telling you it would be perfect, we could higher the dumb ones too off the ugly ones so they could afford surgery and escape the tub.
i love being 
I agree that good looking people tend to stick together… it’s a weird phenomenon now that I think about it… I mean I was part of the ‘in crowd’ in high school cause I was an athlete and a jokester (and good lookin ) but even in university now… I still hang out with mostly aesthetically pleasing people…
Me and my friend had a conversation the other day in which we were talking about how alot of the ‘weird’ people at our school don’t like us because we’re good looking but just as intellectual and cultured as the ‘weird people’ who in High School looked down on the ‘popular kids’ because for the most part they were shallow idiots – and they were.
I know this probably sounds conceited… and it might be, but I gotta play the youth card on this hand… cause I honestly couldn’t give you a reason why I’m friends with the people I am… it just sorta happened/happens
Anyways I don’t really know where I’m going with this but I’ll finish it off with the following:
1)Saitd I’m surprised you don’t have that 1 ugly friend… I mean every group of friends has the 1 ugly guy.
.
“Hey babe - you know your problem…? Too damn pretty, you should put a bag on your head, find some other mug to go out with…!”
Shallow…? That’s my job. 
Friendship: Water finds its own level.
Oh and uh… beauty’s in the eye of the beholder
But seriously… we can only have this conversation within certain contexts. Most of us on here would suscribe to the hollywood version of hot whether we wanna admit it or not… but I’m sure there are places where being fat and smelling like mayo is considered ‘Hot’ so… we gotta consider that too
As does my group, but I wouldn’t say I was friends with him. But that’s because he’s an ass, rather than because he’s ugly.
On the contrary, I do believe I care about looks. Someone’s facial set up is in part influenced by the habitual expressions they pull. Hence I can know from someone’s face what sort of character they have.
Not always, of course.
hotwideloads.com might be an example
lol
Right now, from where I’m sitting, you’re all looking pretty ugly.
Argh…

You should prolly move from where you’re sitting then… maybe a negative vibe going on there.

There - any better…?
You said it (big surprise that I would agree with this, eh)
Hawks don’t fly with sparrows. Wolves don’t run with muskrats.
In my opinion good friends are such because they are on the same level, agree on key issues they find to be important, see the world in a similar fashion, and share many of the same principles and values. Also, sharing a concept of what consitutes a good time really helps too. The less you have ‘in common’, the weaker the potential friendship.
Of course, this is purely my opinion and I make no claims of expertise.
On the band website there is an innocent looking young man with Hitler hair. Now that’s cute!
None of them are fascists, however.
all my male friends are very ugly. all my female friends, however, are not. you can see by now how that is a rather intelligent design.
Sheesh, now you just have a cheesy grin. Looks a bit shifty Tab.

someoneisatthedoor,
I suppose that a hairdo does not automatically make a political philosophy come into being.
On to the topic:
I have had friends at both extremes. I tend to move toward people that have a certain kind of personality. If you have that then I’m ok with whatever you look like.
What can I say - having a bad hair day…
I don’t care what they look like, but these guys aren’t half bad at what they play… in fact, I’m rather enjoying what I hear on that site. Sounds like something out of the 80’s, but hey, there’s nothing wrong with the 80’s.
All I have to say about Manchester is… If you’re not a Manc, you’re a Wanc. Manchester Rules Dammit…
