The Tesco Test…

Spar was pretty okay as far as general supermarket metrics are concerned. Not sure it exists now. It’s all been home delivery for me.

There are Walmart etc around but they are more of stores for B2B and not really customer centric. But pretty bleh in terms of design.

Spencer’s been okay though.

Spar is a German chain (sparen = save). Do you think Spencer’s is related to Marks & Spencer’s?
It’s a bit expensive isn’t it?

I don’t think there’s a relation. Was started by someone called Spencer in 1863 but is owned now by an Indian conglomerate.

Spencer’s isn’t expensive in India.

I’ve been to Spencer’s in Kolkata and it seemed more expensive than other options, but you are the expert on Indian supermarkets.

… because he has it delivered by …? :rofl:

Yep.
I’m sure most of us would agree Susan Boyle would be just a bit ordinary if she was behind a Tescos checkout.

There are much better looking men and women walking down the street than some who have been held up by “hollywood” as beautiful.That’s not to say that some of those on screen aren’t also beautiful,but you can be guaranteed that at some point during your day,if you are looking,you will walk past a beautiful looking individual that would surpass cameron diaz,scarlet johannson,penelope cruz and even channing tatum.

True…

Pretty much the same. Most essentials are the same price in all supermarkets give or take a few rupees here and there.

I like Eva Mendes but haven’t a clue how she ended up on my flat screen.

I do know people say, “Don’t fuck with Flobs” so I doubt I’d have much chance anyway.

Another thing I have noticed is how disappointed women look when they insist that I answer the question, “how old do you think I am?”
I do insist they don’t ask me that but they are more insistant than me.
Even in an action movie these women have soo much makeup on I think they must be at least 60 years old and prancing about like kangaroos (special effects surely).

Anyway in my supermarket (Carrefour) they are all as ugly as sin, they must come from the same special recrutement office

I did like Denise Richards back then quite a bit. I meant in the late 90’s. Safe to say she hasn’t aged gracefully since then.

That’s surely due to all the botox and plastic stuff they all seem to get into.

Emmanuelle Beart is an example, ok not the most beautiful specimen but still nice and got in films due to Daddy but she really messed up the ‘esthetic surgery stuff’ even young she looked more like an extraterrest from a horror movie than a woman.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

I think the only question needs to be whether we have unrealistic expectations of actresses. Instead of asking whether they are still attractive if they worked as a checkout chick, perhaps ask what they look like after waking up next to them.

See, this is what those actresses look like without the makeup:





Some of them look like people I know. Scarlet is the spitting image of my cousin.
They all look normal. Hollywood actresses in movies look anything but. They look like they’ve sat in an makeup truck for 6 hours.

I doubt there are many naturally stunning women - “stunning” in a Hollywood dictated sense.

yea, im all over Scarlett Johansenn in that pic…

shes dead set fucking gorgeous…

mate i reckon if a chick like that smiled at me and asked me how my day was going as a part of her job requirements id still not sleep for a week…if she asked me out for a coffee id probably just combust…not sexually, but litterally just pop…thered be a cartoon style pair of shoes on the ground with smoke whisping out of them…

edit…i mean to say, just for clarity, i find her almost as attractive looking as my wife …

Classic denial

For me sex symbols as such are not just (primarily?) for their looks but for what they represent. I love cerebral women who are authoritative and commanding.

I’ve never looked at actresses as fitting this category but someone like Reece (with or without) her Spoon may qualify and I do find her attractive.

Make up is so important to “sex symbol” actresses not because they are actually “normal looking”, but because cameras are incredibly unflattering. Most of the time if you saw them in person at the time these “look at these celebs without make up, they are really only a Darlington 7” pics were taken you would be recognizing them at something far closer to their sex symbol reputation, even if personally they don’t do it for you.

Men talking about the looks of famous women is also kind of like the english press and its footballers. There is a period in their career where they get a lot of positive coverage, and then a certain point of familiarity hits at which fellas down the pub engage themselves in “honestly, she’s really not that hot is she” type talk.
