    Like beauty, ugliness is in the mind of the beholder.  The worst
    type of ugliness, as we all know, is ugliness of the spirit resulting
    in physical violence, greed and malicious behavior.  However, that
    having been said, there are some physical characteristics which
    look ugly to me, and could prevent me from being romantically
    interested in a person.  (These characteristics would not cause
    me to treat the person in question any differently than anyone else
    except for romantic interest, though.)
    
    So, what do I find ugly?
 
    Obesity
    Buck Teeth
    Receding Chins
    Double Chins
    Turned-up Noses
    Facial Hair on women
    Ears that stick out
    Facial warts (like that woman had in the movie "Uncle Buck")
    Rotten, brown, or missing teeth
    
    I don't mean to be cruel, but none of the above physical
    characteristics would ever appeal to me, and might really turn me
    off.

    The fat kid with glasses who appears in the Far Side cartoons is
    ugly.
    
    The character "Hatchet Face" in the movie "Cry Baby" is ugly.
    
    The turtle with two heads that was in the movie "Shy People" was
    ugly.
    
    Snakes are ugly.
    
    Slums are ugly.
    
    Garbage is ugly.

From a very old adage (don't know the source):

     Beauty is skin deep
     But ugly goes clear to the bone

Believe it or not, that was make-up.  Eric Stoltz is actually a pretty 
good-looking redhead.  He also starred in "Pretty in Pink."

	Ugly is something inside, not appearance ( I'm convinced ).

	Some people are hideous to be around, regardless of how they
	look.  On the other hand, initial impressions  can be
	WRONG !  As:

	Some years ago, I had just begun participation in a 
	new sport.  The second day out at the field, I watched as
	then newest "recruits" wnet through the training sessions.
	One was a young woman that I saw for all of 30 seconds as she 
	walked past.

	I remarked to myself, "Boy, if that's the way the women in
	this sport look, I quit..."  Pretty crummy, huh ?

	As it turned out, she stuck with the sport, and as I got to know
	this wonderful person, I realized that I simply had not
	NOTICED how beautiful she is.  It still gives me a bit
	of a jolt to see the old pictures of her I have....

    I'm so ugly, my boss used to lure people into his office from outside
    by telling them what an ugly secretary he had.  And ugly tempered
    too...

I repeat, would you marry her?  Or are you just being a good liberal?

    IMO, ugly is unclean, unkempt, filthy, dirty.  It is halitosis and B.O.
    and dirty fingernails, smelly clothing, unbrushed teeth,
    nicotine-stained hands and teeth, cigarette breath, or (worse yet), BO
    poorly covered with heavy perfume or cologne.
    
    These are all things one can control; looks are luck-of-the-draw
    for the most part. How can one be faulted for that?

    I have this recurring nightmare : I'm in a bar, I order a
    drink, scan the crowd. I see her across the bar, a 9.8 on
    the scale. She notices me, smiles. Then
    she lights a cigarette. Sorry, babe, you just lost 7 points.
    
    Worst thing is, it's *not* just a dream.

	Anyone who doesn'y smile

    re .33
    
    What do you mean by "anyone who doesn't smile"?
    
    - Doesn't smile all of the time
    
    - Doesn't smile some of the time
    
    - Doesn't smile any time
    
    
    

    Everyone makes instant judgements about people the minute you see them.
    (this is otherwise known as a First Impression).  But, to me, some one
    can be overweight, bald, whatever, but if they are dressed attractively
    and stylishly, clean, hair is clean and styled, and smell good, I would
    consider them to be good looking.
    
    On the other hand, my brother's ex-wife was absolutely GORGEOUS!! An
    ex-Miss Texas, even.  This woman was incredibally beautiful.  But after
    we got to know her, I just can't describe how "ugly" she became. (and
    still is).   So, really, anyone can be attractive to anyone else.
    
    Becky

    
    how can someone be bald, yet have clean, good smelling, styled
    hair..?

    Reply .35 touched upon the aspect of "ugly" which corresponds to
    my view.  In my opinion, true ugliness is internal.  It comes packaged
    in all different kinds of bodies, many of which are quite
    conventionally attractive.  And the ugliness that seethes within may
    not make itself evident right away.  But sooner or later, it will.
    
    I am fortunate to have known few truly ugly people in my life.  Those
    whose paths I did cross caused me no end of anguish.  But I'll
    also comment that some of the most beautiful people I have known have
    had "outsides" that were not conventionally attractive.

    Steve,
    Now that we've figured this out about people, (pretty vs ugly) does
    this mean we've "grown up"??

    re seething ugliness
    
    Now that's uuu-gggllly ..!

    Ugly is working the registration booth at a Digital event, where
    one can experience first hand how cruel, insulting, wicked, evil,
    demoralizing, brutish and heartless our own co-workers can be to a
    person who is volunteering his/her time to help the cause.
    
    Boy, can that be ugly!

    My sympathies... trade shows are not fun for the admin staffers
    who sit out there in those exposed positions..

    
    I thought the Taurus was ugly....
    then I saw the new Chevy Caprice Classic.
    Gawd, didn't they learn anything from the Hudson and Nash?

    I've grown to like the Taurus..

  But this is (IMO) *real* ugly.. While I'm sure some folks like it, I look
at it and wonder if some designers/marketeers/etc looked at that thing and
actually thought they had a "winner".

    If nothing else, the Edsel taught me to never underestimate the
    ability of designers to be enamored of, uh, unusual designs.
    
    Steve
    
    Another non-fan of the Taurus and the Caprice.  Then, again
    it's not really a fair competition - things like that even
    compete for my affections with the likes of the AC Cobra that's
    been prowling around Maynard lately (howl, drool, pant, etc.)
    

Hmmm  I saw a Cobra roaming around Derry a couple weeks ago but couldn't
tell if it was real or a replica.  

Jim

    I dunno about the one you saw, Jim, but the growl coming from
    under the hood of the beast I saw in Maynard was unmistakeable.
    I think I'm falling madly in lust. . .
    
    Steve

I wasn't close enough to hear it.  Can you identify a replica easily from
the outside?

Jim

Well, if it sounds like a volkswagen...

    re: .50 (Jim)
    
    � Can you identify a replica easily from the outside?
    
    Based on sight alone, I doubt if I could; it wouldn't 
    surprise me, though, to learn that there are aficionados
    who could.
    
    Steve

    
    Re: replicas...
    
    I'd be damned surprised is any originals are being driven.
    They're extremely rare and worth a fortune.
    
    One way to tell though is if the driver looks like he's cooking.
    From what I've read, the heat generated by the engine is intense,
    the insulation minimal if there's any at all.

    This morning, my mood is ugly.  Presumably, like all things,
    this will pass. . .
    
    Steve (snarl, kick, spit, etc.)

    
    If I'm not mistaken, the real Cobra's have an aluminum Body, 
    the replica's are constructed of fiberglass.  Alot of the replica's
    are running a 427 under the hood too.
    
    -jc

     Most of the later model replicas have the 302 Mustang GT engine in
    them. I bet they move pretty good, even with that. :-)
