im trying to find as much research on the internet on "Plain Janes" and what it takes to be her, and how she behaves in todays very critical society. i then saw the male equivalent - Average Joe - a term i have often heard but for some reason it doesnt connote such negative and unfortunate meanings as i would give to Plain Jane. so here are some definitions of an average joe, the ideal male counterpart to Jane:
"an ordinary person, especially a man." - www.thefreedictionary.com. seems pretty basic.
"An average joe is an ordinary person without anything exceptional about them" - www.usingenglish.com
etc etc. so he's just an ordinary man. why is plain jane an UNNATTRACTIVE, unmemorable, undesirable girl?? why isnt joe at least boring, unnattractive to the opposite sex or bland?
so you google Plain Jane images and you get this >>>
then you google images our friend Joe and you get this >>>
okay so his face really irritates me and its a bit cheesy, but at least he doesnt look like he could cry at any minute like our Jane.
