if these girls were about 10 years younger and didn't have tatoos, I'd think it was totally innocent.
As it is, I suspect this is some sort of odd gang initiation.

Those double dutch babes rule!! That shit is some killer workout. I bet half of those whining skinny jean hipsters wouldn't last 30 seconds. Double dutch is so sexy!!!!

Are those double dutch girls a regular summer appearance? I'd never seen them before tonight, but passed by them when they were double-dutching across the street in the crosswalk. Impressive (and cute).
13
Can I co-opt some old trends in desperate irony, too?
I'm going to start a sidewalk red-light-green-light club. How funny!

More proof that Seattle women are FUGLY. Seriously lads, how to do survive up here?

I saw some really adorable women when I was in Seattle a month or so ago. You must not be looking in the right (wrong) places.
17
Adorable? That's a word you use for kids and dogs and these are not, by all appearances, kids.
Seriously, Slog needs to address this fact: Seattle has the highest percentage of ugly women in any city I have visited in the world. Hands down.

@17
Its not that bad. I think the ugliest Ive ever seen are in Virginia.
There are quite a few cute girls in Seattle. Its just that most of them don't try very hard because there are so few of them compared to the plethora of waify, socially inept guys to choose from. It's a seller's market. You need to go weekend in NYC where girls with class find YOU.

I think this is the hottest picture I've seen on Slog ever.
#17: We intentionally look unattractive to you in hopes that you'll go away.

There he goes again, lamenting the terrible injustice that none of the women in this town will give him a blowjob.
You keep working that angle, SWM. Let me know how that goes for you.

Yay! So fun. They were at the kick off of The Art On A Stick Parade last night and I got to try out double dutching myself. Jumped into the ropes and everything. They did all kinds of tricks and crazy moves. Super super impressive.

"We intentionally look unattractive to you in hopes that you'll go away."
Trust me, it's not intentional at all in Seattle, it's a birthing defect for most of the mingers in this town.
"There he goes again, lamenting the terrible injustice that none of the women in this town will give him a blowjob."
Are u kidding? I'd rather have my balls licked by my neighbor's mutt than 99% of the mingers in Seattle.

Its true. Seattle women are complete munters. The oh so hip sleeve tattoos don't hide the fact your faces look like butcher's dustbins. So terribly sorry you are all so defensive about it.
Thank god I'm a fag, I can't imagine how hard it would be to date in a town where all the women act like neurotic man-hating/riot-grrl fishwives.

Did you ever stop to wonder why there are so many slang words for ugly women in the UK? Is it because they've cornered the market, or do the men need the insults to make themselves feel better about not getting any?
31
Greg, I know you're one of the typical Seattle guys who doesn't realize how bad you have it here; but this is not about me, this is about the FUGLY birds that have taken up residence in this town. I can literally go days without seeing a screwable one. In New york, London, Paris, Miami you can't go 15 minutes without seeing a corker. Seattle is a steady stream of butch dykes, girls with ever-stretching tattoos, bad hair covered in worse dye, girls who dress like fishermen, bad skin, bad teeth, girls who think a potato sack is going dressy, and other assorted flotsam it looks like the cat dragged in. And who was it who told me Seattlites were all healthy and skinny? Jesus, half the women at my health club don't understand that spandex is a privilege, not a right.
Then you get these fuglies who dress up as cheerleaders to be oh-so-ironic when the joke really is on them: there is no irony is being an ugly tattooed fisherman's wife in a cheer leaders outfit.
The sad part is I see some pretty good looking Seattle guys here with just the butt ugliest girlfriends/wives. Seriously guys, spend a week in Tokyo and you'll know what I'm talking about. I'm only here to help you. Honest.

"why there are so many slang words for ugly women in the UK?"
Exactly! So you should trust my judgement: the women in Seattle are uglier than British girls. Hands down, FUGLIER.

Stupid White Man has it right. Seattle women are worse than British women, and thats saying something.
Of course none of you twats realize how bad you have it, since youre all provincial yokels that haven't traveled outside of a 50 mile radius of this area in your lives.

Tokyo! That's a good one. I've finally figured out SWM's damage: dude has teh Yellow Fever. I bet he can't even look at a woman who doesn't put her makeup on with a trowel.
36
Oh, you've got me pegged there. Nope, never been outside the city limits, absolutely no idea what's out there. That's me for sure.
Look, I'm not expecting you to admit you're full of shit, I just want you to understand that I know you are, and I know you know it too.

Yellow, white, brown fever: I love 'em all. I just can't handle bull dog ugly.
Tokyo, Paris, Milan, New York. Jesus, even San Fran has better looking women and everyone down there complains about how the women are unattractive.
Greg, don't make this about me my friend, I'm pointing these facts out to you as a public service. Most men in Seattle simply don't realize how bad they have it. It's like eating porridge everyday: eventually you think it's acceptable.

Greg, your problem is the feminist FUGLIES of Seattle have browbeaten you into thinking we should judge them solely by their personalities. The great irony there is, of course, they fail on that one too.
39
Just give it up and turn to faggotry, man. Nothing else is going to make you happy. That's the point of this whole exchange for you, isn't it? You want me to give you permission to switch to cock. Well you know what? Granted. Now get thee to the Cuff; stop by the Crypt on the way to get a leather vest, a dog collar, and some blinders to block out those women you're so afraid of.
40
SWM, I'll be human with ya.
There are some cute girls in Seattle man...seriously. You just have to know where to look. Go hang out at Olive and Summit and you'll see some of the most fashionable girls in the city.
But dude, you gotta realize that girls like it here because they DONT have to try to get guys and the guys will take whatever they can get. It doesnt make it wrong or anyones fault. Is it NYC guys' fault because they get the pick of the litter in their city and don't have to try hard? It's all supply and demand, man. Just keep your standards up...you won't get much action here but if you want a classy girl you'll one and then treat her like a queen like she deserves.

Jesus wept Greg, you are pathetic. Now you're stooping to calling people fags b/c they can't take the shambolic carcrash that Seattle women are?
Why are you so defensive about it? Just admit we have a point.

Hey, in Greg's defense, most of the men in Seattle are 100 times more feminine that the butchies I see feigning to be women in Seattle.
43
@41: Sock puppets calling me pathetic, now? Lulz. Almost as good as the snaggletoothed, gynophobic limey hijacking every thread he can get his hands on to rant about Seattle women.
44
"gynophobic"
Hey, I LOVE women. That's my problem, in Seattle there are so few worth looking at.
Greg, clearly you've fallen for the Seattle PC line that we should judge Seattle women by their minds, not the 2 inches of flab sticking out of their butt tight jeans, their crooked teeth, weed whacker hair cuts, bad skin and just generally genetic unattractiveness. I respect you for that, someone has to feed them. But for some of us, porridge just ain't good enough.

I seriously wish #41 was a sock puppet so I could claim "shambolic carcrash that Seattle women are".

If the women in Seattle aren't attractive to SWM then they must be doing something right.
It's very possible that they DON'T wake up every morning and consider your thoughts and feelings on the subject when they dress and go out in the world.
Good luck with the next Barbie you date, I hope you tip her well, she's working hard for every minute she has to spend with you.

@44: Sure you love women. Yet you can't seem to help being in a place where all of the women are unattractive to you. Convenient.
Do you have a girlfriend who lives in Canada, by any chance?

i assume that none of you anglophiles have been to the american midwest or south. i have. seattle women are a definite step up and MUCH skinnier on average than the hogs in, say, houston or cincinnati, despite too much ill-advised tatooing.
see the brunette holding the rope in the back of this photo? she is cute!

"Good luck with the next Barbie you date, "
Barbie? I'd be moderately happy if Seattle women were half as attractive as the women in France, Italy, Japan, or Iceland. Sadly, they are no where near that league.
"Yet you can't seem to help being in a place where all of the women are unattractive to you. Convenient."
Actually it's very INconvenient.
"MUCH skinnier on average than the hogs in, say, houston or cincinnati, despite too much ill-advised tatooing. "
Are you kidding? the women here think they aren't fat but sorry, just as many fatties here as in the Midwest. Take a walk around Greenlake and you'll see all kinds of Seattle womyn who think Spandex is a right not a privilege.

She's a 6 which in Seattle makes her a 10. Kind of like being a tall midget.

Spend some time down South and Seattle will probably slide down your list. I can tell you off the bat that Little Rock and San Antonio make Seattle's worst selection look GOOD.
