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.

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.)
