“I hadn’t seen any novel make the statement that entering the workforce was like entering the grave. That from then on, nothing happens and you have to pretend to be interested in your work. And, furthermore, that some people have a sex life and others don’t just because some are more attractive than others. I wanted to acknowledge that if people don’t have a sex life, it’s not for some moral reason, it’s just because they’re ugly. Once you’ve said it, it sounds obvious, but I wanted to say it.”
I was called ugly in high school, and I consider myself a 4 or 5/10 in looks but if women rated us mostly on looks like we do women then I would really be in trouble.
Those guys have no sex life not because they are ugly, but because ugly got to them.
Btw, Elementary Particles is my favorite book, followed closely by Platform.
