What a superficial world this is, us included.
Not a spunky new observation, really. More like old news that we didn't want to admit in all political correctness. Two friends once commented on different occasions by coincidence the same realization, that ugly people have no right to make out in public. Pretty or plain, don't all of us feel the same love, that urge to express it, those uncontrollable moments of passion too? Unfairness reigns queen in this realm of discrimination, much often to our displeasure and othertimes as we deem it fitting even if we are in no better position to judge and nitpick.
Today on the bus home past a sleazy district, I saw an aging hooker negotiating a deal with a would-be client, all of a balding bespectacled old man, slim and possible patron of a service better left unsaid. Perhaps I would not look down (literally indeed as I sat on the upper deck) on them with much disgust if they were a good looking pair. I presume half the world would agree likewise too, even if they don't admit it outright. Better looking people make everything possible and morally-disagreeable lifestyles a la various socialites less dissenting.
