And which window did you go to?

I think it would have been human nature to go to the attractive one, ruge...I reckon it works the same for us girls too!

We are programmed for it..it isn't your fault. The difference here is that you actually stopped and thought about it..albeit for a millisecond :o)

rugeleyboy.... maybe the women behind the counter is thinking......."god do I have to deal with him"!......

I personally dont think either of them would take offence if you chose the other one. :)

If it was two men I would definitely have gone to the good looking one, I find myself doing that in our local supermarket even though I'm in a happy relationship.

Must be my inner flirt mechanism,. If we have one?

willow tree.......dont take offence at me? i am only here for a laugh!!! and sometimes i post one's that gets the brain thinking and sometimes i do silly one's?? you can choose which one this is yourself?

PS>>i hate jack black with a vengeance(sp) so i didnt watch it but i suppose i got the word from "shallow" from it?

Pippa68

So which one did you go to? I am willing to place a bet...

Willow Tree

Im not taking offence! But to be fair, everybody does it! So i guess we're all kinda shallow at some point in our lives.

So...

..which window?!

SO WHICH WINDOW INDEED?!!!!! Come on we're all waiting with baited breath! You've got to give your reasons too! I always go to the best looking just because I'm a bit of a flirt...don't tell my boyfriend! I don't think we should ever feel guilty for it like pippa68 says, it's human nature. Anyway it's a good job people can't read your mind...I mean, they'd never know your reasons for choosing/not choosing them and even if they did think anything about it most people would dismiss the thought as being paranoid and not think about it again. Remember though there are a lot of people who are unattractive but have such lovely personalities and sense of humour...I'm thinking of Jo Brand here...I think she's ace! You often find that some very attractive people have no sense of humour and are quite dull too, because they've always just relied on their looks. BTW- Incidentally I am quite an attractive young woman, but I had to develop a sense of humour and the gift of the gab at a young age probably because I used to be a bit tubby! :)

I would always rather queue at a supermarket till to get served by the fit girl than go straight up to the till with mrs miggins on. Its just 'my way'

i went to the ugly one!! i didnt want to hurt her fellings????

Ugly to you maybe - to someone else she may be their dream. looks my dear are very subjective and in all honesty i wonder why you feel you have the right to call someone ugly. I pity you really with such a blinkered view in life - what makes me laugh is that looks can so easily be lost - anyhoo, am i to assume you want a pat on the back for going for the other lady - if it was the same in guy terms - i would have gone to the person with the biggest smile. Anyway only thing ugly is your personality honey :-) x

Pippa68

That's rather harsh.

ruge didn't want to hurt the womans feelings ~ whether or not the woman would have been bothered is besides the point ~ but surely it shows he is a caring guy!
