And I mean on the surface. I don’t want to hear all that inner beauty tosh. I want to know who is the most visually pleasing doper.

I realize this is a difficult question as we cannot see eachother. But use your nogin. maybe some dopers have posted pictures of themselves somewhere. maybe dopers have seen eachother in person. Use the chessboard propped atop your neck.

Does anyone, other than yourself apparently, really care?

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

Gee, do ya think? There’s only about 12 threads for dopefests going on right now. And I know of at least 4 marriages of people who met on the boards, and a lot more couples than that.

Besides, everyone knows it’s me, right?

Please don’t take this the wrong way!

What is wrong with being interested in the visual appearance of people?

And I am only joking when I say that inner beauty is tosh. Of course it is not. But you cannot deny that outer beauty is a big factor.  
Anyone who wants to reply to this thread with hostility. Please think twice.

And - what percentage of dopers have been to dopefests? I am willing to bet that it is a very very small percentage.

OK, I’ve thought twice, and I still reckon this thread is bullshit. You’re going to end up with some Dopers with swollen egos and some who will be mortified if they’re not included. Grow a brain will ya?

Oh, and **mouthbreather** and **XJETGIRLX** , get to the back of the queue for **Pezpunk**. I’m first in line. 😃

Wow! someone did a " I’ve thought twice - and I am still going to be hostile" type post. How original is that.

You know - I don’t think getting a thick skin is as easy as people make out - all this time on the boards and it still hurts to be told that one’s thread is bullshit.

Thanks **kambuckta**. Thanks for preaching about not hurting people by hurting someone.

Very much appreciated.

[See, some people talk the talk, and others pay $1.25 to make it official.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1947927#post1947927)  
There can be talk of who is where in line and whatever else tickles your pants.

TRUTH IS, I AM THE LINE.

::laughs maniacally, like Martha Raye on quaaludes:::

And on preview, Lobsang, you win whoosh of week. Your prize is in the mail. (if not, then I win, and I just mailed your prize for nothing)

I don’t care about getting a reputation for not ‘getting’ things by asking ‘what is “whoosh of the week”?’ so…

what is “whoosh of the week”?

“Best looking” would be **The Bad Astronomer** , obviously.

Or did you mean “best to look at?”
