Can Ugliness be an Advantage?

Have you ever played a physically unnatractive opponent and found yourself wondering if his ugliness - the very ugliness that limits him in other endeavors - if that same ugliness might not be an advantage of sorts when it comes to having drive, determination, and fortitude? Let’s face it, most ugly people know their options in life are limited, so they're more apt to give 100% when they get a chance to put their talents to use.

On the other hand, a physcially attractive person might figure that even if he loses at the game of pool he can always move on to something else to help him attain his goal of working as little as possible to scrape by in life.

Can ugliness be an advantage? It could be. For a while I considered paying somebody to smash in my face, or paying a surgeon to do it in a less painful fashion. But it’s probably too late now. I've been good-looking for too long and wouldn't know how to put my new-found ugliness to good use. Yes, I wonder if being ugly might not be advantage of sorts when it comes to certain competitive endeavors.

I think we're struggling for topics if this is what we've resorted to.

by the way, i find it more difficult to beat a girl with no teeth than a girl with one ear.
 
my buddy played apa match last nite against a stripper chick with tight jeans, low cut shirt, push up bra....she was kinda hot.... he got beat 4 zip... so i think good looks are an advantage <VBG>
 
I think it all hinges on whether they know they're ugly. When I play an ugly person and I suspect they are not aware of their uglyness I make a point of telling them. Doing this does seem to add some tention to the match...nothing like a little tentions to elevate your game...LOL...good post HAhaha...
 
Go Ugly Early!

Ugly in the dark ain't bad. I use to head over to Georgetown every weekend back in my day. You could get there at 8 pm, start talking to a doll, a real looker. She is interested and you start buying the drinks. She loves to dance so ya buy drinks and danc until 2 am. Gal hooks up with her best frien and goes home. No phone number, no nookie, no nothing.
Now get you azz in there at 6 pm. find the ugliest gal in the joint. Start talking to her and buy her a couple of beers. Tell her you like her and would like to get a lone with her. She says my place or yours. You say , how bout yours. She says fine, let me get my car, I have the pass to get thru the gate. She pulls up in a Mercedes Benz and says op in. Off to the pent house apartment you go. The love making is wonderful in the dark.
Now it is 7:30 pm , you got laid, only cost ya a beer or two. Ya tell the gal how wonderful it was and how you would like to get together again soon. She gives you her number and off you go. Back at the bar at 8 pm. You can buy the looker a couple of beers and dance all night not expecting anything. That's when she can't quite figure you out and gets interested. Hell, you might get laid twicefor 3 beers.;)

Damn straight!

I find it more difficult to steamroll a woman wearing open toe shoes with hammer toes (feet are my thing) than pouncing on a woman with crater face skin.

go figure
 
I met a gut one time that didn't know the differance between a BJ and a Big Mac! I took him to McDonalds for lunch that day.

Should I....naaaw too easy.
Tommy Joe might have a point though, I've noticed that the pool playing crowd usually isn't great looking compared to say the surfing or beachvolleyball crowd.

I'm sure there's not a lot of marketing potential for making people ugly, at least not as much for doing tummy tucks, and implants, but you never know.

Even before I saw your "LOL.....good post" - I was laughing at your post. Very funny. Thanks.

I don't do plastic surg. but a good friend of mine does. For starting this thread, I'm certain I can get you a professional discount. I'm sure there's not a lot of marketing potential for making people ugly, at least not as much for doing tummy tucks, and implants, but you never know. Hell I'll assist for no fee. If I can remove a spleen, I'm sure I can leave a few facial scars. Let me check with my malpractice insurance underwriter first.

I enjoyed all the responses into this thread. Of course my post was mainly for laughs, which doesn't mean the question could not be seriously analyzed, because in truth all questions have merit. But it was mainly for laughs.

I also wanted to see how many responses the title would get. Maybe that would give me some indication of the number of people who consider themselves ugly. I also knew my method was flawed, because good-looking people as well as ugly ones are obsessed with appearance. My post was written mainly for laughs. But that doesn't mean the topic can't be discussed seriously.

One last thing, for the guy who said pool players on the whole are an ugly lot - thanks for your honesty - and while I may agree with your assessment, let me say there are plenty of ugly cab drivers too. It's not a major rarity to see a good-looking male cabbie. But it's a miracle to see a good-looking female behind the wheel. Oh, she might have a nice face, but you don't want to see what comes out when she opens the door.

Anyway, my post was for laughs, but it's also a genuinely interesting yet frivolous topic that most would probably choose to avoid, and I can't say I blame them.
