OT, sorta - Ugly Girls

I was inspired by Clubber's 5 body 10 face vs 10 body 5 face discussion.

To the comic book fans in the group - that discussion reminded me of a comic by Dan Clowes. Indie offbeat and at times hilarious comic book artist who created Ghost World and Art School Confidential. Both of which were made into movies, with the former featuring Scarlett Johansson's breakout role.

Anyway, many years ago he did this 3 page comic preaching the virtues of Ugly Girls. I found scans online, with the link below. Most of the time I'm pretty shallow when it comes to looks, but I've sometimes found myself unable to pull my eyes off an ugly girl, civilian and stripper, because there was just something alluring about her. Despite a nose that was a little two big, a slightly horsey face, etc. I was turned on. Maybe her flaw made her look exotic to me, or maybe she rocked her ugliness with confidence. Think Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. Kind of an ugly broad, but strangely hot.

Anyway, here's a link to the comic. Website is in Spanish, but the comic is in English:

Anyone ever found themselves mysteriously drawn to an ugly girl?

R. Crumb drew ugly women too, but somehow, he thought they were sexy. Everyone's different, like you calling Uma ugly. Actually she's quite cute.

@mikeya02 - fair point that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I should clarify that it was the Mia Wallace character that I found sort of ugly at first impression. Or not conventionally beautiful. That black bob accentuated her nose. She was wearing black pants and a white oxford that made her look mildly androgynous and stork like. But she was hot.

Uma Thurman is straight up gorgeous/smoking in some other movies - Gattaca, The Avengers ...

"a nose that was a little two big, a slightly horsey face"

There's straight-up, unmitigated ugly, and then there's a girl with an imperfection that keeps her from being conventionally beautiful, which is what you seem to be describing. Some of those imperfections can be quite endearing, like a crooked tooth.

Which reminds me, there's a whole sub-genre of Japanese porn featuring girls with "snaggleteeth", lol

Ugly is ugly. However, its not uncommon for a girl to have nearly ideal looks with one or two exceptions. In those cases, I'm not generally one to kick hot broads out of bed for eating crackers - I just make em wash the sheets...

Hmm, I think I mean more than mostly beautiful with a cute flaw. That's pretty easy.

I'm reminded of two instances:

1) in college, there was a girl in one of my classes who was probably a 5 face and 6 body. Overweight, but not so fat that she lost her feminine figure; she still had her waist. Skin was pale and kind of unhealthy looking, like there was always a light cover of sweat. Hair always looked a bit greasy. Overall, not hideous but sex wouldn't be the first thing you thought of. Anyway, she was fucking smart, and confident, and kind of brash. By the end of the semester I totally would have fucked her.

2) I was riding the subway one day and there was this girl who was skinny, gangly, and kind of had a long face. But she had a cool style and was rocking her look with confidence. Her vibe was basically "yeah, I know I got beat with the ugly stick. Fuck you, get over it. You still want me."

Maybe it's as simply that I find confidence sexy. Or that I'm a horn dog who can rationalize fucking anything that moves.

I remember a dancer with a 4 or 5 face but an 8 body. I was not that attracted to her but she kept approaching me. She told me if she got me alone, she was going to give me a bj. I thought they had cameras in the club so I wondered about that and certainly wasn't Interested in paying $25 per dance to find out. She even suggested the idea that she could me in with me when I never even agreed to meet up with her away from the club.

A few months later she told me one of the bouncers was her new boyfriend but it sounded like she still wanted to have fun with me. Talk about asking for trouble. I was wondering if the bouncer knew what I knew abou her coming onto me.
This particular bouncer was bigger than me. he probably weighed in close to 300 and looked very muscular. He did not look fat. I decided it was probably better not to tell him anything.
