Most people outside of a few city data types hang out with people who are clones of themselves.
I think that probably has more to do with the "birds of a feather" mentality than people specifically including or excluding people based on looks. Artists tend to hang with other artists. Athletes tend to hang with with other athletes. Barflys tend to hang with other barflys. It's not a hard and fast rule, but it's there.

Um no, I don't think so. I think it's hard for pretty women and plain or unattractive women to be friends, just like rich women and less-rich women, because womens' core nature is competititiveness and being the best. They're raised that way, especially when it comes to their looks.

What if the less attractive women don't want the attractive women around because they're afraid their boyfriends may wander?

This question kills me lol. It's such a wierd one, yet I can see why you're asking it based on your mall observations. My friends are based on who they are as a person, I don't care what they look like. They come in all shapes and sizes.

Lots of these beauty queen women likely spend most of their time talking about beauty, fashion and hair and clothes, so the plain fat women could not relate.

lol, this isnt like this at all. where do you guys live, seriously??

It NEVER occured to me to analize my friends based on how pretty or unpretty they are. While reading this thread i started thinking about this for the first time ever, like how "pretty" or "ugly" they are, and i realize i have all type of friends. From overweight to skinny, from way older than me to couple of years younger, from stunning to plane, short and tall, etcétera. Never before have thought about this, and i certainly didnt pick my friends based on this things....this is so ridiculous

However, my friends do have things in common. Example: none of them are racist, none or them are homofobic, all of them like to read and are educated, all of them are funny (in different degrees) and smart people. Now, this are the things i look for in a friend, not the other ones!


Specially when you are in your late 20s/30s, i think 90% does not care about physical appareance in a friend. Maybe (didnt do it, but guess its most likely to happen) if you are a teenager, but....ADULT??' no way!

It happens the other way too.
Don't under estimate the average or ugly girl.
Being the ugly girl has its stigma,like the common thinking that we are easy.

I can't even begin to imagine why you are worrying about this.

Yes!!

not everyone is status obsessed like you are. I had no idea there were so many people obsessed with status until I joined CD. I laugh about it because it really is hilarious how so many people are so superficial on here. Kids in Jr. high and High School aren't this damn superficial.

Right, because plain fat women never buy clothes or get manicures or get their hair done or read fashion magazines, so there's no common ground at all. Also, if you think attractive women solely talk about beauty issues, you haven't met many women.
