    People are laughing but yeah, chasing what insta tells you is attractive is a fools errand. A flawed but still loveable person will do unspeakable things to you while being over the moon about how hot you are.

    Beauty is massively over valued and is a poor investment.

      In my long career I have dated on both ends of the very attractive and very intelligent spectrum, and I’ve learned that I simply cannot be in a relationship with an idiot for long, no matter how hot they are. At one point I thought hot and dumb and obsequious was the right combo, but it turns out I am not psychologically cut out to be worshipped. When you spit on me I need to carry some real disdain for my sophomoric understanding of Proust, and not just because I asked you to.

      Beauty is massively over valued and is a poor investment.

      especially so considering that the rules are written by the people who benefit the most from it while the rest of us – the remaining 95% – are making due w what we can get.
