This sounds like "I am not very good looking, but have a great sense of humor." ;)
: )
More like: I'm not stunning, just ordinary good looking, and I also have a great sense of humor.
I didn't say I was stupid, just not a genius.
You missed my point. (Which you would not have, if you had read The Upside of Irrationality by Dan Ariely, an excellent book.)
Hm, isn't he saying that unattractive people claim they value attributes other than physical attractiveness when selecting a mate? If that's what you're referring to, hilarious. If not, speak more slowly next time. : )
That's true.
But the parallel was a bit more specific: "Good sense of humor" (which he concretely brought up as the most typical example) is an attribute one can easily claim to have as it is impossible to measure.
