Do you find superficiality attractive?

with Sharon Stone, saying people aren't just getting older, they are getting uglier (or something close to that).

I myself wouldn't refer to a person as ugly absent poor character, like the Sleepless in Austin guy we skewered in HOF. While I didn't refer to him as ugly in that thread, if he really meant what the interview recounted, he is ugly regardless of physical characteristics.

Women in the US grow up being told they aren't attractive enough. We don't measure up to media images, and men's tendencies to evaluate women in terms of media ideals is greater here than in some other cultures. It seems to me that in Brazil--at least in the Northeast where I lived--men are more interested in the women around them than those in the magazines. Shortly after I returned from Brazil, I visited my brother in the UK. I remember his friend going on at dinner about Brigit Bardot as the ideal woman. I thought how strange. She's not even alive. What's the point in that? It struck me as a great contrast to Brazil, where men would admire the women around them. It seemed to me that they simply liked women better than English and American men do.
