#half the time 'ugly hot' is just a traditionally attractive guy with thinning hair or a receding hairline (or who just looks his age)

[kweerfish]

calling someone 'ugly hot' is just a way of negating attraction to a person whose features deviate from currently accepted norms of conventional beauty. this betrays the weird embarrassment some people derive from it.

in other words, the person I heard call walton goggins 'ugly hot' is a coward, unlike the tumblr freaklovers who unabashedly adore their people. it has everything to do with modern capitalist-driven standards, so fuck 'em. embrace the wet sparkly eyes and gummy smile and receding hairline, god damn it!
