I decided to go out to dinner with the hubby. I was already in a sour mood because we had been working all day in the backyard. We went out with a couple of friend for Teppan. For those who are not aware it is a Japanese cooking style where you sit around a very large table while a man with very sharp knives cook your food. Anyway, there were three very pretty, very loud young ladies (early 20s at most) having an insipid, vacuous conversation about hair care products.
I have a theory. Just hear me out first before punching holes in it. Extremely good looking girls are naturally stupid. There are only three exceptions to my "You can not be incredibly hot and incredibly smart" rule.
1. You used to be fat.
Most fat people are naturally funny and smart. We have no choice but to use our personalities and brains to get us through the most cruel institution that America is dutifully part of called public school. We were picked on, beaten up, and/or ignored by the trendy "cool" kids in middle school and high school. The only real satisfaction later in life was the knowledge that most of the people who made our lives a living hell are now are either drop outs, pregnant at 16 or in jail.
Some have done all three of the above.
At some point (normally post school) those who were able to were able to drop the weight. Now they are now in what society decides are "hot" and therefore of importance. The "fat gene" that has allowed these few to survive however normally stays in place and thus you have a hot chick who is also intelligent.
2. You used to be ugly.
Calm down about the use of the word ugly. This word is usually thrown out at anyone who doen't meet what society decides is perfection. You could have crooked teeth, be too skinny, have a strange sounding voice or wear different clothing. As with being fat you have adapted by becoming smarter. You usually "blossom" later in life or the world now considers your "flaw" or "flaws" now trendy.
3. You are an alien come to Earth to dazzle us with both brains and beauty until we are so overcome that your fellow aliens can enslave the human race much more easily.
This one pretty much speaks for itself.
