On levels of attraction and the value of my advice

On Monday's post regarding why I don't post my photograph, otwisted commented:

Are you sure they want your picture for those reasons?

Even though you are 'preaching the truth', I'm imagining that it would be easier to dismiss it as 'sour grape opinions' if they were coming from someone who is not visually appealing to them.

To which I'd like to say a few words. First, I do like to give my readers the benefit of the doubt (unlike people who respond to my ad, who usually see the sharper side of the axe), so naturally I'm going to think that they think I must be gorgeous and fabulous (although I maintain that I'm basically just average attractive -- to some people's taste and not others).

But, if you're the kind of person who's going to weight advice based on the looks of the person giving it, you should picture me as the most unattractive person you can imagine. You should imagine I look just as ugly as ugly can be, with teeth falling out and hair all over the place and whatever else isn't hot to you. Because if you're the kind of person for whom advice is only worth following if it comes from someone whose looks match some individual standard, then you're the kind of person who I don't really want to help, and I hope you shove off.

I dig chicks with missing teeth and bad hair. Let's get together!
