You have a chiseled jaw, bedroom eyes, and a six-pack, but once you started spewing garbage out of those luscious lips, any illusion of attractiveness vanished. Your looks just couldn’t justify your horrible personality. You were super hot… until you started talking.

  1. Looks aren’t everything. Instead of wasting so much time in front of the mirror fixing your hair, you should be spending some of it practicing your grammar. Your looks will get you far, but a big brain will get you even further.
  2. Beauty isn’t all that impressive. You were blessed with good DNA. It was a matter of luck, not a matter of skill. Now, learning how to solve complicated algorithms or speak several different languages, that’s actually impressive.
  3. Your luck will change eventually. Just because your number is in the double digits, it doesn’t mean that you’re something special. You might be scoring big now that you’re only interested in one-night stands and threesomes, but when you’re ready to settle down, you’re going to have trouble finding a woman who likes you for you.
  4. Looks fade over time. Years from now, your perfect head of hair is going to end up in the drain and your chiseled abs will morph into a beer belly. When your looks are gone, you won’t have a sparkling personality to fall back on. You’ll be screwed.
  5. You’re being used. I’m sorry to tell you this, but no one is with you, because of your fascinating stance on Kanye’s clothing line. You have no personality, which means women only want you for your body. You’re a sex object, and no, that isn’t a compliment.
  6. I hate myself for wanting you. I don’t want to be some shallow girl who likes a man for his body, but God, are you attractive. I wouldn’t mind hopping into bed with you, as long as the only time you open your mouth is to rub your tongue across my body.
  7. I need more than good sex. As much as I’d love to bang you once or twice, I need a boyfriend who will stimulate my brain as much as my body. If we can’t have interesting pillow talk, then I’ll keep my pillow to myself.
  8. Your looks won’t help you find true happiness. That smile might get you out of a speeding ticket or land you a date with a supermodel, but it won’t lead to any real success. That’s something that only hard work and dedication can do.
  9. I feel sorry for you. It’s great that you have confidence, but you have it for all the wrong reasons. You should be proud of more than the way your calves look in a bathing suit. You should be proud of who you are as a person, because the inside matters more than the outside.
  10. You could have it all. If you work on your listening skills and do a bit of reading to expand your knowledge of the world, you could have it all. But if you keep acting dumb, and relying on your looks, you’re going to end up with nothing.
