Survival of the beautiful

I was observing people in Sandton and it struck me how many good looking people were about. It has been shown by social science research that good looking people are more likely to get higher paying jobs than unattractive people.

No such thing as true love

JohncarlosBiza

2012-01-28 15:05

'True love' is a sham. Ugly people date each other, fat people date each other, attractive people date each other/economically better off men etc. That indicates comfort, not true boundless love.

"Have mercy" - NOT!!!
