as if the Poster who makes such comments ever stood a chance at securing such a score in the first place... these guys are usually stuck with the splay toed 4ft runt of the litter farm girl and live in a different reality.

Interesting opinion.  Is there some sort of requirement to pass comment on someone's appearance?  You feel you have to specifically be at their exact level or above to have an opinion?

 

Does that transfer to other areas of your life?  Do you only discuss cars that you can afford to buy?  Only discuss a work of art that you could paint yourself?  Only discuss sport if you can play at professional level?

 

Or perhaps you think it's inappropriate to discuss the appearance of contestants in a competition based primarily on their appearance?

What is to your taste, may be hideous to another person.

 

To many people the Mona Lisa painting is fabulous, To me it is just another painting.

 

As for the lady who is the subject of this thread, she is good looking and would probably make somebody a good wife one day.

Think the point richard-smith was making has been nicely summarised by you closing paragraph...... 

Amazing, isn’t it?

 

When it comes to soap operas and beauty pageants, Thais place luk khrueng on a pedestal. However, those Thai females who choose a farang as a partner or a spouse are almost invariably looked down upon.

You mean half-Thai women.

 

My only comment is that I see about 20 better looking girls everytime I take a stroll in the mall.

Other than that, good luck to the lady and especially to the judges who will have the bad idea to vote her down.

think a little harder......     commenting on someones looks is somewhat different to commenting on a car or sport. 

 

... perhaps guys should post a photo of themselves before suggesting another human looks hideous !!!...

 

 

 

.... the reality is those who make such comments rarely have sufficient ‘game’ to even get close to someone society considers ‘desirable’.... 

 

Comments made by such posters are just bitter.

Plus a photo of their beautiful and intelligent partner or current friend with benefits enabling others to comment in the same  vain as their childish comments.

Now that she has the Thai flag positioned in between the two best places on a woman's body, there should be no more complaints.

Same colours but it's not the Thai flag, they made that mistake before.

Why?   What is so unacceptable about blue footwear?    Red or white footwear doesn't stir up the "ultra-nationalists", does it?

No, I'd suggest that he just thinks, quite rightly, that it's particularly daft to say that the girl in the photo is "absolutely hideous, when, objectively, she isn't!

Some posts and the replies with derogatory slang references toward Thai women have been removed. 

 

Some posts in poor taste have been removed as well.

Not really.  "Nice car", "nice face", and so on.

Who cares?  There are no prerequisites for making a comment about someone's appearance.  Outside of your head, of course.

The comments against the people critiquing the woman's appearance sound a lot more bitter, to be honest.

Appearance is really subjective.  You can't say someone is objectively not hideous, that's not how objective judgements work.

Don't like long lanky white ish women also her thighs  are not rounded and shapely Enough for me

Can you really not say shes hideous now?

Ye gods ! What is the world coming to

No, appearance is objective, opinion about someone's appearance is subjective.  That woman is an attractive woman, objectively, she is not factually "absolutely hideous" as one poster said.

You could say that the fact that someone has two eyes, or that their hair is brown is objective, sure.

No, your subjective opinion is that she is attractive.

 

I think she is unattractive, you think she is attractive, another user thinks she is hideous.  These are all subjective opinions.

 

1based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.

Sure, that's not factual, it's a a subjective opinion, like yours and mine.

quick search for definition of hideous = "ugly or disgusting to look at."

Even taking into account some latitude for personal tastes or preferences, I think it is clear that the woman is not hideous.

Even considering subjective differences in the judgement of beauty it is possible to state categorically that the women in question is not hideous.

I am pleased i have caused so much chaos using the adjective hideous

Heres a bit of education  for you as i appreciate you are not all lucky enough to have been born in the black country(you may wish to google it its a geograghical not racist term)

Now where i grew up its quite normal  to  describe an unpleasant

person not necessarily In looks maybe personally temperament etc as hideous

I.E god shes/he a hideoys women man etc

Likewise  Saying a girl woman who I dont particularly find attractive is hideous would also be acceptable  just.......  A bit of poetic licence

 

I do Hope the above information alleviates the presure from. Any twisted knickers both male and or female

 

Miss Laos looks better than Miss Thailand this year.  Bad year for Thailand.

That's one subjective opinion that appears to be being put forward.

Not really, that's your subjective opinion.  Opinions on appearance are generally subjective.  What one person finds hideous, another might find attractive, because they are subjective judgments.

She's possibly slightly more attractive than miss Thailand, but I thought that one of the Thai runner ups was better looking than both of them.

Unorthodox is good. Thailand is hung up on tradition. And super conventional. Break the mold and be brave. Kudos to her.

If you could use and punctuate English in a  correct manner, you might be qualified to pass comment on word usage in the correct context. In the case of this lady, hideous could well be considered inappropriate usage. 

So as for knickers in knots, in your case it's probably jocks.

Which is probably why you trolled with your initial comment and have been back-peddling since.
