Curiously, as I've gotten older I've found that "weird" looking people who are also confident enough to some degree are almost always far more interesting in terms of personal pursuits / interests than "pretty" or conventionally attractive people. Maybe this is a personal bias - but in time being attractive impresses me to a similar degree as someone driving a flashy car - sure it's pretty looking, but I don't ascribe that to real success or depth of intellect.

Dating pretty people in New York quickly illustrated how dull most "pretty" women are. The one thing I'll never understand is how shaving my head actually increased my perceived attractiveness with women - admittedly I'm a weird somewhat unattractive person.
