9. Ya look good to me . . .
I think "average" rocks, especially when it's complemented by intelligence and kindness. (I married a super-smart, super-kind "average" guy, so there ya go.)

3. I have heard the deafening silence in response to my "gorgeous"
post, so it would seem the consensus is in. This is where I belong.

If I'm lucky, of course! :hi:

4. Once again, us sub-average-looking folks are left out
Oh bother. I guess we should be used to it by now.

6. Let's define "avaerage"
as the part of the bell curve within 3 standard deviations of the mean. That will encompass 95% of the population. As one of the "tails" is on the unspeakably beautiful side, that only leaves 2.5% as "sub average." To be that far out, well, I don't think physical attributes alone will get you there--you'd have to be like a freeper or something.

So welcome aboard! :D

15. So because I floss regularly and love democracy, I may be ok
I figure the 2.5% must not floss. I will say that dogs and cats like me and often come up to me for a sniff but I've wondered if they're trying to figure out if I'm dead. :shrug:

10. Sub-average is only your perspective, and it's NOT the only one
that counts. There are nearly 70,000 people on DU, most of whom I'm never "seen." Better for me to judge folks by the content of their posts and hope this represents the content of their hearts. :shrug:

11. I look with my eyes, that's pretty average, I think (well, occasionally)
I'd put an n/t here, but that would be kind of silly.

23. Not exactly.
Edited on Sun May-29-05 12:54 PM by Heidi
I'm not on a self-esteem affirming mission today or any other day. What I'm saying is what I've experienced and what I believe.

Sometimes, you have to know a person to know whether they're being gratutiously affirming. But here, look at this picture of a little girl who didn't have a home until she was adopted by loving and non-judgmental people at 6 years of age. This little girl was a total dork; notice the spaghetti stain on her collar on school picture day? Notice the cow-lick? Notice how she's a little cross-eyed and slightly "chubby"? Notice the orange hair? Nobody ever forgets this stuff about themselves and, if life experience means anything, judgmentalism toward others is mitigated by one's own painful life experiences.

-----------> non-gratutious :hug: for eyepaddle

All I see is an adorable little red-headed girl.
We are always hardest on ourselves, and that includes me. I'm very harsh on myself, but I see beauty everywhere in others.

But I'm 42 years old, and it took me a long time to get here. I'm with you on the inner beauty thing. :pals:

38. Thanks for the nice hello, Parrcrow.
I prefer almost anything to the spectar of a cat being sawed in two. I appreciate you, and my cat appreciates you. :pals:

P.S. The term "sawed in two" is a little bit southern or nearby, isn't it? I know this because I generally say "in two" when I mean "in half." ;)

39. Holy Cow!
:wow:

I nearly wrote "in half' but opted for "in two". I'm a Canadian living in SE Kansas. Let's hope that "in two" may be a Canadian term as well. Otherwise I might be turning into one of 'these :sarcasm: people' :scared:

If I ever say "Y'all" just take me out and shoot me.
