Love Me Ugly

Everyone has a preference, maybe he likes thick women, maybe she likes men with beards. Maybe she doesn't like short guys, maybe he doesn't like women with short hair.

Why Being 40 & Single Might Not Be Such A Bad Idea

Women and men share a different vantage point on singleness. For the most part, if you are a woman and you are approaching 40 and you are single you might as well wear a scarlet A on your chest. Poor you, the lonely unloved soul that's tortured everyday by looking at happy affectionate couples. Your singleness is your own fault and the guy you passed over is living happily ever after, along with the jerk you gave a chance. Singleness for a woman is the ultimate ugly.
