Honestly I would tell them both that is very sweet of them BUT I am married
because I am lol
But if I wasn't I would say that is very sweet and be nice to both them. Because you never know guy number 1 just might be a jerk and guy number 2 might be a prince or rich guy lmao jk jk
Really he might be a sweetheart and we might not hit it off but I wouldn't want to make him give up hope of finding his princess.
Ok.... but..... is this a meta joke? Because literally the reason he walked up to her, he even says it... is because he thought she was good looking. So if you approach someone based on solely the fact you like the way they look... why wouldn’t it be logical that they in turn judge you on the way you look? He didn’t say: “I couldn’t help but notice you had a key chain for xyz” or “hey- didn’t we go to xyz together?” Or anything about her except... her looks. Where does that go? “Oh- thank you. I think I look good too. Let’s talk about how good I look”? Or “I think you look good too”? For that second one she has to.... think you look good too, no? On the subject- looks are subjective. Guy 2 could wear a more flattering style of clothes and hair, be well groomed- many little things that even if he isn’t Ryan Gosling show he cares and make him look his best. You can see she is well groomed and put effort in. You can see guy 1 is as well. Guy 2 put no effort in at all.
Upvote. Poor phrasing by me. I could spend 8 years painting the worst mural you’ve ever seen, or 6 years learning to paint and 2 years painting a beautiful mural. Both could be said to take effort, but the former could be called misguided effort compared to the latter if we are judging on the results of the effort and not simply the amount expended. So perhaps guy 2 put in effort to his appearance, but perhaps it could be done better, or perhaps his style isn’t to her taste. Judging just first impressions of appearances in context to the post- The entire point of the comparison in the original is to contrast “worse looking” and “better looking” men doing the same thing but being received differently. On this alone it doesn’t matter what the individual models look like or if we think they look good, they merely stand in for the concept of “attractive man/woman” and “unattractive man.” The particulars are relative. But neither man put much effort into their dialog.
I got that. This is actually something called "Lookism" (real term) that has effected all of us whether we realize it or not. We tend to make snap judgements based on appearance and appearance alone on a whole slue of topics. Topics like whether the individual is trustworthy, reliable, honest, has a good work ethic, good morals, and many more. None of which can really be determined simply by how someone looks and yet we do think these things. There are even some videos out there of "pretty" people and "ugly" people with vastly different qualifications going to interviews for jobs. The results are quite interesting.
