Editor’s Note: One of our most popular themes on The Hall has always been about the curse of beauty and the bonuses and penalties that come along with it. Many of us have a hard time seeing how being born beautiful can have any negative aspects but many of us agree that it does. To help illustrate the good and the bad of being born beautiful, our own Nadia Arain breaks it down in the following list: Being an attractive woman (PROS): Everyone looks at you! Everyone. Your self-esteem is usually through the roof because you KNOW you’re the center of attention. People marvel at your aesthetics! You get free stuff. Free meals, drinks, rides, AND you get served faster. Since when have you heard that gorgeous people pay for things? Compliments, and lots of them. Having a bad day? Whatever, someone’s bound to compliment you and make you feel better. Remember, you’re pretty, right? Things aren’t… [Read more]

On The Surface: Physical Attraction – Let’s get this one out of the way right now as it’s what everyone knows and expects to be here. It is true, the first thing a man sees beautiful in a woman is her perfect, irresistible face and body. Every man has his own version of what traits makes for a woman to be irresistible but a lot of these traits crossover to enable a few women in society to be instantly recognized as beautiful to everyone looking at her. Humility – Confidence is fine, but many men get turned off by women who constantly remind the world that they are beautiful. The thinking is that a true beauty is still not that comfortable with it to wear it as a crown, men like the chance at reminding her that she is a drop-dead gorgeous woman. This is why the most successful courtesans would play coy with their… [Read more]

A few days ago Samantha Brick of The Daily Mail wrote an article about how her beauty had made her an enemy of many women and helped her get ahead in her career with the men. While the contents of her article were no surprise to me, having observed the curse of beauty in women, it immediately went viral beyond anything that she was ready for. Do you want to know why? Samantha Brick happens to be a blonde, white woman with confidence in her looks, at least that’s what she came off as in the article and as we all know, the average woman HATES that and I will tell you why. When I penned The Curse of Being a Beautiful Woman, I had no idea that it would be a popular article on this site. I thought that a few people would read it, turn up their noses a bit and keep it… [Read more]

There have been quite a few guys that have gotten in trouble for masturbating in the absence of their girlfriends or wives. Why did they get in trouble? Well it is normally a mix of mistrust, misunderstanding and naivete by the woman. See a man may look at masturbation as a means to an end, he has the urge and he wants to alleviate it as soon as possible. Some women counter that they should be enough to satisfy a man’s desires, but men require action at a much more aggressive rate than a woman does and a woman who has a problem with her man masturbating is probably not a sexual nymph that is willing to go at any given moment. Hence the problem. It is for this reason that I advise men to get with women who match their tastes in sex and masturbation. If you’re a sexual prude that hides your feelings… [Read more]

Look we all know that women and action movies are like men and romance comedies right? You know, it makes me wonder why they don’t have a name like “chick flicks” for movies where everything explodes. While I know that there are a number of women out there who can appreciate a good ass kicking movie, excuse my generalizing as I talk about the majority that can’t. At a glance most women aren’t into action movies, the girls I know tip towards drama and love. There is a reason why many of the action movies that we watch have a stupid romance angle forced into it; the writers are assuming that it will keep our women interested. Then you have newer action movies with hot female leads to influence girl power… but it doesn’t garner female attention; here’s a hint – It’s for us guys! So Hollywood has made it even harder to convince a girl… [Read more]

  So the Academy Awards Ship set sail, went by and was talked about for all of 10 minutes by myself and my fellows. One thing that stuck out to me in conversation with one of my buds was that sexy had an age limit with certain men. Observe this conversation: Greg: Cameron Diaz is so damn goofy at times but did you check out J-Lo’s cleavage dress? Friend: (hisses his teeth) Ya I saw her… what is she like 40 now? Greg: Around that age, but she’s still got it going on… Friend: Sure, but you know… it’s like, we’ve seen it a million times. Greg: Who her? Friend: Ya, I was looking at(insert young actress), now she was cute to me (trails off into describing other actress). That conversation is par for the course for guys; chances are you yourself have had them. It makes me feel odd when I call out good looking 30+… [Read more]

A woman relates to men VERY differently when her father passes away. I never really got to spend time with my father before he passed away. It changed my entire perspective of what relationships are like, meant to be like, and what they are supposed to be about. Your dad (for a woman) is a sounding board. When any asshole messes up your life, you go to him. I don’t have that luxury. I don’t know what it feels like to have a dad and even to be loved by one. That’s not to say that my dad doesn’t love me, of course he does – and i love him back; but to really experience and feel that love… I don’t know what it feels like. I don’t know what it feels like to have a man in the house because I don’t even have a brother; so I learnt how to carry heavy boxes,… [Read more]

Many of you will read the title of this article and be immediately put off by the word “bitch” which is one of those hot button words that gets people fired up; so I must warn you that I will be using the word continuously throughout this article so if you’re offended by it I would encourage you to read any of our other wonderful articles that do not contain the word and spare yourself the trauma. I wrote this to point out to men that there is a difference between someone who hates them and someone who is just aggressive and tough by nature. I believe that a lot of men are missing out on wonderful women due to the fact that they misjudge the strong for being something that they’re not. When it comes to hating men, the term is misandry but we wont be using that word because I want everyone to… [Read more]
