Why don't public schools teach good looks?

They aren’t everything in life although looking good can boost your mood on a daily basis, let’s “face” it.

Rubbing the corner of the eye, rubbing the inner ear, scratching the back of the head, always grabbing the nose in a certain way. All of these can flatten a face and make it less defined, bringing in the jawbone.

How many better looking people would there be if we were simply told not to touch our faces/heads? at an early age?

We pick up these bad habits, then we are oblivious to how this habit changes our looks. I don’t know if Henry Cavill or Casper Van Dien, were told about it at an early age or just never picked up the bad habit? It’s not that these two actors have jaws of steel, they are just defined perfectly while most of the population has jawbones that are receded significantly from rubbing the eye etc.

Pardon me, but may I see a cite for these facts?

Rubbing your eyes causes your jawbone to recede? The fuck?

The traits you’ve described are mostly genetic and aren’t caused by touching your face.

But leaving that aside, why should it be the school system’s responsibility? If this kind of thing existed, it seems like an issue that should be handled within families.

We aren’t taught this stuff because it’s nonsense.

What the fuck are you talking about? This is a joke, right?

Are the nominations for Most Shallow Balderdash still open.?

How does scratching the back of the head flatten the face?

The added mass should increase the amount of gravitational pull towards the back of your head, flattening the whole of your head by oh, say, femtometers.

Though, my expectation would be that it bounce right back as soon as you move your hand. Never lying down, on your back, against a planetary body - that’s the important thing.

The lesson for today is don’t touch your face when on the surface of a neutron star, or else you’ll mess up your good looks.

If you’re too close to a sanding belt.

After I read this I tried rubbing my inner ear but my eardrum got in the way.

Zero.

Did you have any other questions?

Because I didn’t go to a school where the student body’s heads were made from Silly Putty[sup]TM[/sup]

Golly, now I am to blame for my own ugliness? Makes me want to punch someone in the face.

I am a naturally ugly man but by hard work and personal development I have reached the status of interesting looking.

Possibly in the same sense that a dung beetle is interesting to an entomologist. :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought the whole point of public school was to teach people that goods looks can get you by in life and that the homely ugly people were fodder for your follies. Isn’t that what cheerleading, home coming courts and prom queens are all about? Being good looking and popular is the goal.

Hey, Dung Beetle is usually interesting!

There ya go!
