I'm in a long-distance relationship and my boyfriend is sweet...except when he tells me I'm not hot.
I'm in a long distance relationship, and my boyfriend is nice and sweet and we connect really well. We had been friends for several years before we started dating, and back when we first became friends, he had the hots for another (super hot) friend of mine. Now, the thing is, even though other aspects of this relationship are going well he has said, more than once, that: a) he doesn't find me hot; and b) that friend of mine is getting hotter each day.

10 ways to feel "Pretty Enough" This Mothers' Day
The day after Easter I took a break and went to Ecuador. I had always wanted to see the Galapagos and it cordinated with a meeting my husband had in Guayaquil. It’s amazing what you see when you have no other objective than to enjoy. The overwhelming thing I noticed was women’s bodies and the way they moved. A lot of my work is centered with the media and everyone knows that the camera adds 10 pounds (the camera adds a lot of other things, too).
Speaking from experience, she says they just "try a lot harder."
Courtney Love, I mean, Courtney Michelle, may be crazy, but sometimes she speaks the truth. No, we're not talking about her latest claim about an affair with '90s dreamboat Gavin Rossdale (and while he was married to Gwen Stefani to boot). We're talking about why she's saying she's so good in bed: it's because she's not pretty. Hmmmm, an interesting theory despite the overshare. Ugly women make better lovers. Is it because the are just so grateful? Tell us, Courtney, tell us! Well, according to her, the reason why she's such a minx in the bedroom is "because I was never pretty. Pretty girls just lie there. Us girls who grew up a little more homely have to try a lot harder. That's why pretty girls never threaten me— it's like, yeah, you want to take me on? Take me on. Go for it." Huh, it kind of makes sense in the same vein that ugly girls have better personalities than pretty girls. Of course, we should never generalize... but maybe she is onto something!
Just last week we were extolling the virtues of being a late arrival to the pretty game.
"Being a late bloomer," our clever blogger Jed wrote, "usually means you're either super smart, really good at something, or used to be, well, less attractive. In any of these cases, it's a positive."
Indeed, wouldn't most of us — if forced to choose between the two — rather grow into our looks, rather than grow out of them? We think so. But that got us to thinking about something else: What happens if you start off not so pretty and never grow out of it?
How to act like Freida Pinto, even if we don't all look like her.
At first look, taking advice from How To Love Like A Hot Chick: The Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Guide to Getting the Love You Deserve might seem imprudent. The authors are two decidedly "hot chicks," so the idea that they'd be able to relate to everyday Plain Janes is as believable as The Supermodel's Guide to Getting Pants Hemmed.
How much is beauty worth? One woman puts her looks to the test.
A Current TV reporter recently hit the streets of London two days in a row in search of free goods and services: cab rides, slices of cake, drinks. The first day she dolled herself up in a form-fitting dress, makeup, blown-out hair and heels. The second day, she hit the streets in the "dowdy" version of herself: long skirt and loose-fitting blouse, no makeup, hair pulled back.
As evolved as we try to be, humans are still suckers for good-looking members of the species. This is why the line between trophy wife and gold digger is often blurred. If someone is attractive, people are willing to give that person things no digging required.
Research shows that others see you as 20 percent more attractive than you think you are. That's because, when you look in the mirror, you're simply judging yourself on looks. All you can see is your reflection - but none of the personality.
