why are all the men in Chevy Chase DC so darn unattractive?

[Anonymous]

I doubt it. If the West Coast people are really that gorgeous, s/he was out of his/her element and just had to move back to the fugglies so as not to stand out.

DC has by far, hands down, the FUGGGGGLIEST people I have ever seen. No sense of hygiene, fashion, or common sense. Kids are sent to school with mismatched knee socks, that don't even match with the rest of their outfit. Their hair is a tangled mess, their noses are always running and they wear dirty shoes! and this is in upper northwest, Bethesda and Chevy Chase.
Hate to say it but DC is a brain magnet, not a looks magnet.

So that's why you came back?

Before you attack me, let me be clear on how I define beauty.
1)Physically attractive
2)Socially kind (some call this "polite", but not overly so)
3)Intelligent (not necessarily book smart; full of common sense)
4)Not a narcissist.

I don't think I'd be too far from the mark if I stated, firmly, that easily 70% of the women I've met in this area are vapid narcissists who "demand" to be treated like a "princess" without doing anything to earn such treatment. Most spend more time shopping and gossiping about useless crap that they do working, studying, volunteering or caring for their children/family, all of which are worthwhile activities.

Back home things were not this way. Women, in large numbers, can hold a conversation. Women devote their time to accomplishing real things in their community/family. Women don't dismiss men out of hand simply because the guy doesn't look rich or doesn't resemble a male model.



Oh, and before I forget, let me mention physical beauty. There's NO CONTEST. There are far greater numbers of physically stunning women in New England, the Deep South and the West than there are here in the mid-atlantic region. I, and my visiting guy friends, will vouch for that.

Here's the test. If you, in any significant way, resemble a character on Jersey Shore or one of the "Real" Housewives shows, you are NOT a beautiful woman. Period. Deal with it, and get a reality check.

So, are there ugly men? Sure. Are there ugly women? You betcha.

I completely agree with this. DC is a city that attracts people with more brains than beauty or style. Women are especially dumpy--just look around the metro any given morning. Given this, even the most modestly attractive female is viewed as HOT here. I actually think there are more better looking guys than women in DC. Perhaps its all the young college boys.....

I live in 20015 and there are some very attractive males--over 40-- in my neighborhood, including my husband. They work out and it makes a difference.

I've seen some good looking men and the next time I see one, I'm going to approach him and ask if he lives in Chevy Chase DC? If he does, I will direct him to DCUM and this thread and also ask him to show his photo so he can prove that you are wrong.

I've seen hot construction workers on K st.

what a bunch of bitchy bitches....If you're ugly then just own up to it. don't bash those who commented that DC is a magnet for ugly brainy people. it is!! It always will be! I am not the first person to notice it or comment on it. Just speaking the truth.

So all of you fugggglies better get back under the rocks you came from. I see you walking around Whole Foods with your roots showing, your panty lines on your dimply asses, flabby arms, food in your teeth, granola-ass cloth grocery bag carrying pitiful selves. DID YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE YOU WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE TODAY????
Judging by what I saw in Chevy Chase and Cleveland Park today, you didn't even bother to shower.
'NOUGH SAID!

Hmm. I hope you feel better about yourself now that you said what you said. Are you still lin high school? Seriously- grow up and get a life instead of walking around judging people and calling them bitchy bitches.

If I wanted plastic gorgeousness and lots of superficial people, I'd have stayed in LA. I prefer intelligent conversation that has nothing to do with Hollywood.

[Anonymous]

why can't you have both? I know plenty of really smart doctors, lawyers, scientists that are also attractive, and some who at the very least try to put themselves together. I don't think that you get an "excuse" to not brush your hair and wear orthopaedic shoes at 32 just because you're intelligent.

I don't know the answer to your question but I do know that I see lots of gorgeous moms (but fewer hot Dads) in my NW DC neighborhood and my children's NW private school. I kind of assume the Dad's wallet makes up for the lack in the looks department. I am a federal government attorney and would agree most of us are pretty ugly and really badly dressed but, if you get outside of the public sector, DC does have some good looking people, even by LA and NYC standards. They do tend to live in Wesley Heights, Spring Valley, Kent, Cleveland Park, and Georgetown in the Distric though and Chevy Chase and Potomac in Maryland.

"they" might be more attractive because in these neighborhoods "they" tend to be the on-air newsreaders (ie, not actual journalists, but the pretty people who read the news), Republican hostesses, and the various "Friends Of ____" who are D.C.-famous for being operatives and fixers. And hosting parties.

Actually that's not true; Cleveland Park is home to a lot of real journalists and authors. Wesley Heights and Spring Valley, I don't think as much.

The only offensive thing is your attitude. Actually, I dont give a rat's ass whether you think I'm ugly or not. I happen to think that I'm pretty okay looking. How convenient for you to say in an anonymous column that everyone here is so ugly. You must have some major ax to grind because the truth is and YOU should know this but for some reason won't admit it, that there are all sorts of people in this area that are attractive, plain average, and yes, below average. Geez stop being so angry. How can it be possible that every single person in the DC area is fugly.

x2! And I hate to go there, but if you can't spell fugliness properly, for God's sake, I can't take you seriously.

Unfortunately I think most women who see my husband want to fuck him. We live in Adams Morgan.
