I've been browsing Hot or Not, a web site devoted to rating pictures of men and women around the world. Regular folks, as well as some distinctly "unregular" people, hope their photo will be judged favorably by other folks just like them. On a scale of 1 to 10, with five being average, the results show that the voters are mostly kind. I basically gave everybody at least a five just for having the courage to put their picture up (I gave one lady a "10" because she looked to be about 87 years old and I thought she deserved points just for doing it). But I have to wonder what some women were thinking (I didn't look at the men's pictures, but I assume some of them are at least as ridiculous). There are out-of-focus pictures, pics of women scowling, shots of a hairline and one eye, obvious vacation photos with the subject posed in front of a mountain and one memorable picture that looked like it was shot through a fish-eye lens from a distance of six inches. Hot? I think not. One of my favorite photos - and this may sound cruel, but remember: I didn't post the picture; she did - was of a pleasantly average woman sitting on a couch. She was about five pounds shy of being morbidly obese. So why did she choose to wear a very large shirt emblazoned with the word "Titanic"?
Yeah, I put my picture up, too. But I'm not telling you my score. |
