Cold as Ice

Everyone constantly complains about not being pretty enough, how everyone is hotter than themselves and even to the extreme of 'I hate how cute you are!' But it wasn't until last week that I realised how under-rated unattractiveness is.
At work this sleazy old man came in and required assistance in looking for a jumper. After trying to not only crack onto, but also 'feel' two of the three girls who were working that day, he finally selected an item and approached the third girl to pay for it (yeah - that one's me.)
I was prepared for some polite but disgusted smiling at cheap comments... But they didn't come. Not an inkling - I can't say I was disappointed; but my ego certainly was. As I said, lacking in hotness can come in handy - but it still hurts like hell.
Is that my reasons for lacking in a significant other?
Waiting at the bus stop the other day, I was approached by a Down Syndrome girl who was worried she had missed her bus. She was going in the same direction as me so after I reassured her that it had not yet arrived, she decided I was her new friend and began to tell me her life story.
Sentence number two told me that she had a boyfriend. She then asked if I had one. I told her no and her reply was one with a look of sympathy: "I'm sorry..."
WTF - What just happened?? Cut by retarded kid?! Oh dear.
Oh but don't worry; it was made up for the following day as I walked down George Street and a homeless man asked me if he could "...make you pregnant tomorrow?"
HELP
But then again, I ended up a lot better off than the lady in front of me whom he remarked to: "Your mother must have been ugly!"

Catch twenty-two I suppose - hot or not?
