Fat chicks, sheep,... whatever.

Bah. I once lived in Kitimat BC where the men outnumbered the women 13 to 1. It was a taste of what Hell is going to be like.

What happens to the ugly women if they leave this town and go somewhere possessing of a vastly inflated sense of their own attractiveness? This could be bad.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just hit up a bar in your area?

Ok, so not only are the women there ugly, they also get inflated egos?

Whatever happened to 'but she has a great personality'?

You're fooling no-one with that alt. :P

I knew a guy who worked in the mines in WA for about 6 months. Similar conditions there. Heaps of high-paying work for the males, notsomuch for the ladies. This guy made a mint in the time he was working there, and had plans to come back to civilization with enough money for a house deposit. Turned out that boredom got the better of him, and he spent all of his savings on booze, hookers and blow.

So ladies, looking to earn some cash, head to Mt Isa and stick a leg out.

Hey, ugly girls! You, too, can be a cum bucket!

At least that's what I got out of the article.

What do you mean? Like fat chicks? :P

This is amusing, but one has to wonder if this is the attitude that helped shrink the female population to begin with, I mean, while it may be true, nobody likes to hear, "well, you're all I could get, so..."

If you want the woooomens guys, get out of town or get some incentive other than, "I'm an ugly chick, so you mean I can move to a town with nothing to do, no real job prospects and bang ugly miners? All right! Where do I sign up?" Not saying the fuglies should get over-inflated heads, but it's a really bad pitch.

/still, made me giggle

Well, that and this-

"Builder Paul Woodlands, 25, said the pay for jobs traditionally filled by women did not seem to match what the blokes could earn and there was little incentive for women to stay in the remote town.

"I know a few women who have come out here to do hairdressing, but they left to go back to the coast because the pay was bad and there's not much to do," Mr Woodlands said"

See, here's the deal: Have I slept with ugly chicks? Sure. Have I slept with fat chicks? You betchya. But you know what I've never done? Complained about a dry spell. LOL

The article kept mentioning the professional women are leaving- What did they mean by professional exactly?

The hookers would be rolling in dough in Mt.Isa and other Australian mining towns.
It would be like sinking ur pudd into a magicians sleeve though.

This is true. Fark is like the Mt. Isa of TFA. You fat chicks can go down there and find love. Or you can just purchase another 20 cats and eat your bon bons.

Some of them are actually pretty hot.

^^ Not often that you see that combo.

There have been plenty of times that I've said, "ugly guy, beautiful woman, okay, he's loaded". I've never actually seen and actual ugly girl and hot guy. Maybe an average girl, but never ugly or fugly.

Is there a hot guy somewhere posted above?

 
blueviking 2008-08-17 08:25:05 AM  
Confabulat

Nope, just saying in general. I'd say they're both unattractive, she moreso than he in the above picture.

We have a very sexy supervisor at work, the man knows how to dress, cook, and is the one guy at work that the women, no matter what their type, will gawk at as he passes. However, his wife is very average looking, if you were comparing the two, to some people she's ugly, which, IMHO, she's an average girl like most of us.

/never said I was a looker, either

This.

A college friend of mine was part of the first group of men admitted to Cazenovia College back in the early 80's. He wasn't anything tremendous, charm or personality-wise. Just an average guy who had horrible skin and liked to start drinking at 9:30 in the morning. And then his girlfriend came down to visit one weekend.

Imagine a taller, bustier Sheena Easton. Va va va and voom.

The whole "wide smiles" thing just irritates the shiat out of me. I thought at the last Beautiful Peoples club meeting we weren't going to allow uggos and fattos to be happy. Am I the only one following the club guidelines anymore?

 
tomhath 2008-08-17 09:12:34 AM  
Mr Eastgate said many young professionals were in Mount Isa for a short time to start their career before they moved back to larger cities.

Sounds like they could retire after a few months' of "work" there.

FTFA: "And, really, beauty is only skin deep. Isn't there a fairy tale about an ugly duckling that evolves into a beautiful swan?"

I don't think that was the point of the fairy tale.
