I was just wondering if anyone has encountered anyone like this. I have and have discussed it in other forums.

I met a guy who was very physically unattractive, he said so himself, with an ugly personality to match- he was arrogant, insecure and belittled people to inflate his sense of worth.(he actually rated me on my looks on our first date...to my face and told me I was lucky because he didn't usually give girls a 9/10, except one other girl who was better looking than me...lucky me eh?)

He would only be friends with good-looking, nice girls. And would berate those who were not. He did not talk to what he deemed 'ugly' people and had this holier than thou attitude.

What he did not realise was that he was ugly inside and out and fell far short of even his own shallow judgmental standards.

What do you think of these folks? Do they deserve our sympathy or utter detestation?

At first I thought the guy had a big chip on his shoulder...then thinking further for all his problems,it dosen't give him the right to be rude to others.
So I stick with my original comment.

Couldn't agree more Essjay.He does have a massive chip on his shoulder. He was also brought up in a family which was competitive, even at the dinner table if you didnt grab-you didnt eat. But one's upbringing is not a warrant for inexcusable behaviour. When called out on it he said 'oh I had no idea there were rules'. I thought yes its called decorum.

Partly why you should give him smypathy..I not saying excuse his actions, words..but like you've said, he never had the education you had...

He must be bitterly disapointed at his own physical appearance.
Perhaps he has little experience of inner beauty in his life and the physical superficial aspect is all that he holds in high regard. Very sad really.

I am a well balanced person, I have a chip on both shoulders .....laugh

Really sad when folks are so messed up they can only get feelings of self worth running down others.

Can't say I'm into extreme emotions but would say there is no point letting someone like this live in your head. I assume this is recent to have you think about it and need others to respond.

This is what happened when you got for the outside beauty ( look).
Women look for really magazine type man and man look for the same ( I mean women).
Between this all the good things get lost and wasted by not grabbing it with both hands.
I think it is just normal that a very good looking guy be arrogant and I think also a women will be in the same situation.
The best thing is balance between inside beauty and outside beauty as you can’t have both in one person.
cool

Perhaps. But he was not attractive, objectively speaking. This guy was grotesque and hsi personality or lack thereof was disgusting. His views, values were disgusting. He wanted what he didnt have himself.

And even so, not even good looking guys have a warrant to be arrogant.

Your making very broad, unwarranted statements here. Why can't you have both outer/inner beauty in the one person? I have a few stunningly beautiful, succesful girl friends who are also women of outstanding values and principles. Aesthetics and personality are not mutually exclusive.

What I'm saying is if your ugly with no personality, you have no right to judge others based on their outward appearance or personality. Especially if you have no self awareness as to how low you really are.

Haha. Actually for some reason he was quite photogenic. I'm still baffled how someone so bad can look quite attractive. I mean they were his pics.

It's like very attractive people who are not photogenic I suppose.

He doesnt have ears, he has horns :D
