Calling all ugly women
An Australian town mayor is looking for some ugly women to fill up his town.

I'd say he probably should have worded that differently... Major ooops for him. To me at least it appears that he is implying that "beauty-disadvantaged women" have lower standards when it comes to who they will date/marry/etc, which is why they should move to Mount Isa where the men to women ratio is 5:1. Obviously that is a pretty bold statement to make and one that simply is unfair.
He should have just said "We need women to move here" and left it at that.

We should help the aussies out on this one. Make some contributions to their cause.
We should call Courtney Love, Anne Heche, Rosie O' Donnel, Connie Rice, Hilary and send them on over. I'm sure they'd be glad to help out.

I didn't get that at all, what I got from it was that if there are 5 men to every 1 female, even the ugly ones are going to get asked out, and asked out lots, (yes, I'm just stating this bluntly) and are happy as opposed to when there are lots of beautiful women and the less attractive get looked over.

I read this over on my political forum and thought what in the world. This story was actually a follow up to another one they did sort of.

Proof - at last - that beer goggles really work
By Tamara McLean

A few stiff drinks really does make other people appear more attractive, according to researchers who say the alcohol makes us think about sex. A test on drunk university students has scientifically proven what was common pub knowledge - that drinking improves the appearance of those around you.
A team from the University of Bristol in England conducted a controlled experiment on 84 young heterosexuals, getting half of them tipsy on a drink and asking all of them to rate the attractiveness of people in photographs.
Both drunk men and drunk women rated the faces as being more attractive than did those who were sober, according to New Scientist magazine.
Surprisingly, the effect was not limited to the opposite sex, as drunk volunteers also rated people from their own sex as more attractive.
Research leader and experimental psychologist Marcus Munafo said alcohol was to blame for twisting our perceptions of attractiveness and focusing us on potential partners in environments conducive to sexual encounters.

The quotes, published Saturday in the Townsville Bulletin, sparked outrage among the town's female population, led to furious online debates and drew criticism from the local chamber of commerce.
|
Well, that isn't going to make the current women of that town happy.

And several local women said there aren't a lot of gems to be found among Mount Isa's men, either.

Now they lost their argument.
