DMV Beauty Reality Check

[Anonymous]

It's time for a reality check. Most people living in the DMV are not attractive. DC and Maryland are especially bad. If the standard scale is 1-10, DMV residents automatically lose 2 points, with NWDC and MD losing an extra point. There are many threads in which DCUMers self-rate themselves as 7/10 or above. Statistically speaking, you are multiplying the already small odds of being attractive with the even smaller odds of being attractive in the DMV. From here on out, let's agree to be honest and adjust our self-ratings.

I just go through life without ever thinking about any of this.

Why are you rating people? That is a terrible way to go through life.

DCUMers skew rich, so I bet they are more attractive than average, as money helps.

Yeah? A DC 8 is a NY 6. Water is wet. One plus one is two.

The trouble is, it's a very subjective scale, OP. For example, I don't find tall blond pale people particularly attractive. I prefer shorter brunettes. Beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder.

I agree that most people dress conservatively and talk shop. I find some shop interesting, but the uniform gets boring...

Yep. The next time you’re at the grocery store, look around

Aside from the fact that OP is a sour puss, he/she is right. One of my more attractive friends actually left DC in his late twenties because all the women in his dating pool were so ugly. He’s no Brad Pitt but a 8/10 man and cared about aesthetics. He would complain to me about how unattractive most women in DC are.

I wouldn't want to have anything to do with someone who cared so much about looks that they moved just for that.

But obviously they didn't - silly you for thinking that was the reason!

You have to remove a point for: swollen lips, oversized fake tatas, too skinny, fake nails, botox, fake hair, fake tan, fake eyelashes, too much makeup, dressing 10 years younger than they should

Most of the people you know have fake hair and/or Botox.

We don’t really have these women here?

Women of color and black women in DC tend to be the most attractive and stylish.

What a weird thing to write a post about.

Well-groomed UMC/UC suburbanites look about the same in DC and NY suburbs— the NY crowd will be better dressed and usually better manicured but it’s the same level of fitness and the balyage is touched up just as often.

The Best Dressed in NY are much better dressed than DC, that doesn’t change the rankings of the rest of the people.

West Coast/LA skews the averages because it’s a town built around how people look.

Most people are around average-looking. Beauty is more or less normally distributed. Don't let grooming fool you.

Lol. Says the overweight, saggy-chested, thin-lipped, woman dressed in JJill for "comfort" with no makeup and gray frizzy hair cut at Hair Cuttery.
