    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Have a conversation with a successful stripper about human psychology some time; about reading people, desire, and something along the lines of platonic sophism. Some have a lot more brains than stereotypes might assume. I think of them more like honest politicians in a sense.

I didn't know that was a thing about Portland, though I have recently learned people say it's the city with the most ugly people so I wonder if that's related.

I visited Portland as a kid in the late 90s. Everybody was really cool and down-to-earth, but one thing I noticed was how normalized outdoor spitting was. Like one time I saw an attractive person across the street, and we were checking each other out, and then they leaned over and spat while maintaining eye contact. I'm pretty sure there was no communicative intent, they just needed to spit.

Holy crap. I've lived in Portland for the last 2 years and I have been shocked by how unattractive everyone is. I'm not saying I'm a model or anything, but JFC it's like everyone hovers around a 4-5

Please research and write a paper on this theory, I'd love to read it

Damn, thought Houston was the stripper capital

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I have previously heard Tampa Bay and Atlanta are stripper central

Is it? James Harden must find a way to play for the Blazers.
