I work at a large teaching institution in Sunny Devon as I have mentioned and this time of year the place is teeming with new students all busily going about their business of finding where the cheapest beer is. Now one of the perks of having a job in this sort of institution is the look but don’t touch rule. (I have broken that one and of course that’s another story!) It’s very nice to be able to sit, whilst having one’s sandwiches, and enjoy the sprightly steps and varied body shapes of the young female students innocently wandering around the campus unknowingly being, I think the technical term is ‘leched .
Anyone who has spent any amount of time doing this and I guess when I say anyone, I mean those of us guys in our advancing years who will glory at the sight of all those uncovered navels and softly swelling bellies. And blimey, if jeans and trouser waists drop any further south we’ll be seeing those things wot we are not meant to! I mean just what are the technical terms for the smooth creases at the top of the inner thighs. I mean those bits that sort of draw your eyes inwards and downwards from the belly to almost – yes almost the pudenda!
Anyway I digress, see what a minefield this subject is! The whole point of this blog is summer is waning and soon these very same girls will be covered up in their winter woollies and all we will get to see of them is their faces. So why is it that the uglier the girl is the more facial piercing she’ll have? I mean I just don’t get it. Why do people pierce their bodies? Ok I do have one earlobe pierced and it was done many years ago. And yes I do have a small but tasteful tattoo on my left shoulder (birthday present from ex-wife). But facial piercing? Come on. I mean how they kiss; presuming that is someone does actually want to kiss them.
There does seem to be some awful correlation that seems to suggest the uglier the girl is the more piercing she will have. What does that mean? Is she drawing attention to her features saying ‘I don’t care cos you don’t really know the real me’ or perhaps she hopes that the glare of all that steel will dazzle the eye of the beholder so that he won’t notice her looks?
Anyway I don’t want people to think I’m some sort of sexist or misogynist, I’m not I love women, some of them are my best friends, but I just don’t get this piercing stuff and have simply noticed the ugliness/piercing correlation. And wanted to give it an airing and perhaps someone will illuminate me so that I get the point!
I am sure that as a student of the social I should be able to come up with some convincing theory. But at a base level I am just a man and I like women to look like women, not like something from a Steven King Book.
And what about metal detectors at airports it must be hell. Beep! ‘O yes that’s my tummy stud’ Beep! O yes my clitoral ring (doesn’t bear thinking about does it) Beep! Ah my tongue stud.
Come on girls get a grip!

lol. I think ugly women will do whatever it takes to try and cover up their ugliness. Then they will always have the excuse..."you can't judge a book by its cover" and then I'm like..."uh, yeah I can."
sorry if my grammitical errors hurts your PHd ...errr, PhD brain. lol
Ugly girls make themselves uglier to move the focus away from their ugliness. Then become men-haters and sit around fires worshipping Alanis Morrisette.
I do envy you and your surroundings though. Got any pictures?
Pictures, now that would be a problem. When you ask for pictures I guess your not asking about the beautiful countryside and spectacular coastline hmmm. The problem is the Big Brother will not let me. I have tried but the servers here at this large institution will not allow it to happen. Damn technology. I can't even edit the page!
'Ugly girls become men-haters'??
Wow.
As to the correlation between ugliness and facial piercings, or extreme looks in general, I tend to think that it's a way for a girl to displace the hostility of others onto something she controls, unlike the features she was born with and cannot change. What people find ugly or disaprove of is not 'her' anymore but something she projects, an extreme version of herself. It's simply protection, an armour of sorts. I understand why someone wouldn't like the look of facial piercings, I personally don't; but my bottom line is: when a guy is ugly, he has charm; when a girl is ugly, it affects her whole life and makes her infinitely vulnerable. I feel compassionate towards those who almost disfigure themselves because I see their pain.
End of rant...
