What is wrong with the people of Austin, Texas? Why are they so damned unattractive?

[Donald H]

Austin is the home of Matt Dillihunty and the 'Atheist Experience.'

Has it become a refuge for the left in Texas?

I did a photo shoot in Austin about 15 years ago, and I don't recall there being any great shortage of beautiful women...

I've never seen more beautiful women in one place than I did on 6th street one night back in the 90's. UT is crawling with beautiful women. The OP smokes meth.

First of all, I understand that women have no obligation to look attractive for me. Not saying that they do. But I do enjoy admiring beautiful women, especially the gorgeous ladies of all kinds we have in Texas.

Except in Austin.

I couldn't help but notice by the end of the first day of a three day mini-cation that ended yesterday, that there were almost no women worth looking at. In fact, most were women that I actually turned my eyes away from. The men also. I don't watch men the same way I watch women, but I can be repelled by a particularly unattractive man, and that described almost all of them in that city. I didn't figure out why until the last day. More than one reason:

1. No one was trying to attractive. There were not as many dyed haired types wanting to look freaky as we have in Houston. I thought Austin would be full of them. But to die the hair multi-colors and to wear a nose ring, and chains for a belt requires effort, and the effort was missing. In Houston, even the freaks go for an asthetic apeal. Same in Dallas, San Antonio and Corpus.

2. Tall women with broad shoulders, wearing loose jeans. Outside Austin, I automatically think "trannie," but in Austin it took me a while to snap to that. Because in Houston, we have plenty of trannies. The first sign is that they are overly made up, like paradies of women. In Austin, the trannies don't gussy up, because they're not trying to be pretty girls, they just think they are really girls and wear the same frumpy clothes that other Austin girls do, but look even worse in them.

3. No one was smiling. In the Houston area, anywhere I go in public, people are smiling and happy. They make jokes, they laugh, they carry on happy conversations. Even if they are not smiling and laughing, they have blissful expressions on their faces, or determined expressions, or curious expressions. In Austin I would best describe the typical expression as funerial. Really grim. But not like a funeral for and old person who lived a long life and left them an inheritance. More like after a funeral for their only friend whose financial support they lived on and will now be gone. Everyone looks like that.

The architecture in Austin reminds me of the Soviet Union. Completely functional and really grim looking. I mentioned all this to my son and he said that it is Brutalism. I've heard of Brutalism as a form of archeticture, but he says it is also the new thing for hipsters to never look happy. It's worse than Goth. At least in Houston, the Goth kids were cynical nihilists, but they seem to at least enjoy their perceved superiority to the conformists.

I saw one good looking woman in Austin and that was in the poker room. The people there were more peppy than other Austinites, but not nearly as rowdy and fun-loving as Houston players.

I was starting to wonder if maybe dressing cute was out of style for women, until we hit the Buc-ee's halfway home. Like diving into a pool of cool drinking water after walking throught the desert.

I lived in Austin back in the 80's, women were just as butt-ugly back then as they are now, except withbout the green and purple hair. The ugliest ratbags always seemed to hang out at Hippie Hollow, along with the fags.

Meh, other than the Gulf surf-fishing there is very little of redeeming value in Tejas to recommend it....What are not liberal are money grubbing assholes.

My favorite description of Texas came from a friend who was born & raised in Texas.

If I owned Hell and also owned Texas, I'd live in Hell and rent Texas.

No so.

You can't fix stupid.

 

[hjmick]

Thank you. I was afraid not shaving my legs for the swimsuit competition would cost me.

Hell, I heard what you did for a Klondike... call me...

Like any big city, it probably matters where you are and when. The only time I was in Austin was to run the marathon. As you might imagine most of the women I saw were either really good looking or had really good bodies.

Not a skank in the bunch. How 'bout them Cowgirls?

Had some memorable nights on 6th Street
Music was great, beer was cold and women were hot

I'd like to milk them!

If I may pick up on one of the points being made.

Men who are preoccupied with the physical appearance of other men , is suspicious. Those who post pictures of the most physically attractive men, know who they are.

Watch for it! It happened a few times every day on this forum.

"Suspicious?"

Why . . . what do you suspect Donny?

Before you answer could you describe yourself and what you're wearing?

Sorry, I had to delete the link because it was a link to another forum.

Some narcissists are raised by weak or inaccessible mothers and harsh, rigid, or sadistic fathers. They tend to bond with males in male settings (army, sports, police, bodybuilding, the Catholic Church) and to seek empathy, warmth, support, secure friendship, and love among their male peers. This macho bonding masks repressed and latent homosexual tendencies, the result of incestuous or simply pathologically excessive love towards the father (or father figure).

Most male Narcissists are misogynists. After all, they are the warped creations of women. Women gave birth to them and molded them into what they are: dysfunctional, maladaptive, emotionally dead. They are angry at their mothers and, by extension, mad at all women.

Where could that apply to some forum members?
To begin with, do any avatars show a tendency toward fascination with a male father figure?

I read a lot into a person's choice of an avatar. Maybe too much sometimes? But I think everyone should be aware of what their choice is saying about them.

I found Austin to have more culture than Dallas or Houston.
Great nightlife, music, restaurants

Of course your concept of culture is some lunatic, standing on a box screaming about "death to capitalists".

So you are rather easily amused.

 

[initforme]

So don't go there. I've been to southern cities, norther cities, eastern and western cities. Some were ok and some were bad. So like a normal person I learned to avoid the bad ones. Give it a try.

Maybe that's enough trying to address issue #1?

The rest of the OP is just as ridiculous.

Ever been to Austin?

If not, STFU

 

[initforme]

It's such a positive thing for the nation when women don't worry about being attractive. They do what they do and are a big part of the workforce rather than someone stuck at home for their man. Thank god the 50s are over.

Austin is the smelly armpit of Texas. I much prefer Dallas.
