No, clearly the distinguishing characteristic is that he's attractive. As well as apparently interested in littlek. (She'd put him out of her mind until he made this latest overture.)

if someones distinguishing feature is that they are attractive that means that they are dumb

0 Replies

actually, I don't think he is dumb, but maybe you're right. The whole point of going out with him is to see what he's like (besides being a hottie).

Not at all, clear. I was madly attracted to my husband when I first met him -- the professor of theoretical astrophysics, that is.

Meanwhile, can you lay off with the baseless criticism?

That littlek is only attracted to him 'cause he's dumb and that she'll ruin the relationship by calling him stupid.

Jesus, I just read the last 15 pages of this thread, 12 of which were in the last 24 hours.

Littlek, there's one thing that caught my eye that I haven't seen discussed. Way back when he asked your sister if you were single and 'she didn't know'. All of a sudden he's leaving the company and asks her again if you're single and she gave him your contact info.

My crystal ball tells me your sister told him she would be uncomfortable if you and he got together socially while she was trying to maintain a professional relationship with him. Now that he's leaving the company she's more than happy to see you two get together because she will no longer risk finding herself in the middle of something she'd rather not be involved in. It's possible he was waiting until Thursday to get in touch with you, perhaps even at her request.

It's good you sent the email. Now he knows you wont hang up on him when he calls.

If this remark was meant earnestly, i can only gaze in wonder at the stupidity of the comment, as opposed to those so accused . . .

Good observation, J_B.

Kicky, not much I can do with that, sorry. It's just kind of an "uhhhh, okay..."

Damn. Oh well.

OK, got the picture - LittleK, hunt him down and tie him up. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

...and JB makes a good point.

For someone with such a screen name, your meanings are awfully obscure . . .

First you write:

Quote:

if someones distinguishing feature is that they are attractive that means that they are dumb

--the obvious implication of which is that the person characterized as attractive is "dumb." (By the by, dumb means incapable of speech, although a reasonable assumption in American usage, especially in light of your latest remark, is that you mean the person in question is stupid.)

Then you write:

Quote:

if its the only thing that people like in someone then they're at least dumb. if not worse.

That is a very unclear statement, but seems to imply that the person who finds someone attractive is "dumb." And that is an altogether different meaning than the first statement.

You're not "clear" at all in this series of remarks.

ok if you say their only distinguised feature that means they are only attractive or better or appealing in this one way to you, and if that one way is attractive then they don't have any other features that you personally find distinguishing which means they're lacking in a lot of areas (or dumb) . and its clear to me.

Not at all--a distinguishing characteristic is one which makes a person stand out among others. Therefore, someone whose appearance makes them attractive as compared to those around them would have that as a distinguishing characteristic, and yet could be just as intelligent as those around them, but not more so. That would make them ordinary in regard to intelligence, and not "dumb."

None of which explains your second remark, which appears to refer to the person who considers someone to be attractive, and not to the person so described.

The point is not whether it is clear to you or not, because communication only works if you can make it clear to others.
