not being pretty: advantages

Now that I have switched back to _not_ being pretty I can intelligently evaluate the strengths of this way of life:

1) Sexual fantasies are no longer a matter of conscience because you are not in danger of making anyone else contemplate sin.
2) thinness is God's consolation for ugly girls.
3) Sometimes the people who have loved you for a long time claim that they can still see beauty in you. And you see it in them.
4) Being ugly is very eco-friendly. The day says "hello" when you wake up and "goodbye" when you go to sleep: you leave everything as you found it.
5) People treat you like a human being becasue they do not need to acquire you.

Sigh.

Out of three working theories on the identity of this mysterious poster, I will chose theory 4: not knowing.

Anyway, you have not seen me with feral eyebrows and a lean hungry look unless you are Neal (theory 2).

not being pretty: advantages

prettiness is. or is it? prettiness does. or does it? what about the undo? i like to undo prettiness. it's more compelling.
