The ugly ones
Jest
My sister, her husband and six of her seven children are visiting my mother.
The second oldest daughter, who is 19 or 20 years old if I’m not mistaken, has a boyfriend in Jerusalem.
When I called my mother tonight she told me: “The girl talked to her boyfriend on the phone for more than twenty minutes and I have to pay for it. I have seen a picture of him. He is fat and very dark, I would say really Semitic.”
To me she once said about my girlfriends: “You prefer the ugly ones, don’t you?”
My mother’s talent for jest is infinite. That’s why I admire her.

Are your sister's children (over 18) beautiful and interested in a redhead like me? I'm quite ugly myself, so that's in the clear.

Are you a religious Jew? That's of the essence. When it comes to my nieces.I myself am much easier. A redhead is a redhead in my book.
My mother told me that the ugly ones have the right to be loved too. Unfortunately she was not referring to me, she was referring to my duty.
Maybe the daughter of your sister do find fat dark men attactive. It's shallow to only look at someones apperance. Beauty is perishable. When we get older we all turn into old women.

Very shallow indeed.Sara
I usually speak of 'corpulent' instead of 'fat'.David
My mother said "fat." It's part of her jest.What is ugly? It depends your own standard of beauty. Beauty is for sale.

Hatefullness, poverty etc. is ugly. No person is ugly.

I must say I laughed about what Arnon's mother said, but to continue a serious discussion it's better to use more suitable words. When it comes to 'ugly' I use 'unsightful'. We must be aware that someone is easily offended, don't you think?Beauty is (mathematical) averageness
Actually, there is a universal cross-cultural common perception of what is beautiful (and therefore of what is ugly):http://www.bu.edu/phpbin/news-cms/news/?dept=1127&id=41272
David,
Better an ugly face than a dirty mind. Relativation is the word. My mother always said beauty is temporary., than uglyness has to be too. No problem then. Everything passes. That's reality. Probably Arnons mother willl know that too.
My favourite street musician is an ( ugly) Rumanian young man with big ears and rotten teeth. I always look out for him, because he sings with passion and he makes my day brighten up. I'm his biggest fan. He is a star in my world.. I love him.

Maybe you should have sex with this street musician?And please stop badmouthing a dirty mind.

Did you fulfil your duty?Was your mother referring to this thing called mercy fuck?
Jan,
That's what young people want to be average. Thanks to photoshop and the magazines. Would Afro- american people or chinese people have the same beautystandard? When I was in China alle the chines photomodels on the billboards were photoshopped in "European"standard faces. Sightly chinese, with bigger eyes and other facestructure but NO big noses.

Arnon,
I don't know if I said something wrong. Did I offend you? Has to be a misunderstanding.
I was completely serious and no dirty mind or feelings against anything

For the summer I work in a Law office in Brussels. Two of the lawyers showed interest in me. But to be honest, I picked the most beautiful guy to go on a date.
Arnon,
don't insult "my"musician. You can have a loving feeling without thinking of sex. He's just cute. A good person

Your love for this ugly musician is self-congratulatory: how noble you are to love this ugly musician.Well if the love is real give him a mercy fuck.
But perhaps he is not interested in you. Come to think of it.
And no you didn't offend me at all.
Helen, I am not young anymore but I wouldn't mind to look like the average photoshopped young God.
@Arnon
1. No I did not fulfil my mothers’ duty.
2. Mercy fuck? She would have never used that word, but yes (“close your eyes and think of England”, no think of your duty only and if your love is strong and hard enough, the rest will follow, if not your love meant nothing – horrible expectations, if you ask me, although a nice story years later).
@Helen
Photo shopped indeed, and now there is plastic surgery for the better and the worse.

I'm not yet a Religious Jew. My mother told me that I'm not permitted to join any religious sekt when I'm living at home and for the time being that is still the case.
Dens
I would like to meet your mother.Jan, I'd rather be photoshopped than undergo surgery.
When I was still living at home, my mother forced me to join a religious sekt. Ever since I left home, I feel liberated and lost at the same time. Fortunately, I'm beautiful - although that makes it quite hard to get a mercy-fuck once in a while. And so, nothing is ever good enough. It keeps me going.
Mr. Arnon
I don't think that I'd like you to meet my mother; As I think of it, I don't like anyone meeting my mother. From my friends only 2 have seen her. She pretends to be quite normal but she isn't. And you'd probably see through it. That's your gift.Arnon
I won't lose my virginity by pulling a sack over a Rumanian musicians head . I'm not crazy... but I want to kiss a frog because I still believe in fairytales. You have a suggestion where I can find a handsome one.
By the way I couldn't find the word badmouthing in the dictionary,

@Ivo
The feeling of being lost is very familiar to me (my mother was/is a sect on her own)

@Ivo, you say you're beautiful, yet you have no photo on your website. Indulge us a little would you please? It's lonely out here.
"I won't lose my virginity by pulling a sack over a Rumanian musicians head ."
I disagree, I think we should all lose our virginity by pulling a sack over a Romanian muscians head at least once..Should the outcome be more desirable than initially expected: we do it again.

You are funny
Arnon,
really I don't understand what you told me about badmouthing a dirty mind. I was completely without double meaning that I prefere an ugly person more than a person with a dirty mind. For me a dirty mind is equal to badmouthing, hateful thoughts, bad character. There must be some misunderstanding.
