I have a genuine question. How come Mormon people are usually so good looking? Lol. Every Mormon I've met just seem to have this aura around them...

Because you are employing confirmation bias when you assess them?  You only remember the Mormons who are good-looking and "glowing."

I live next to Mormons - they don't glow with any kind of aura.  In fact, they're rather plain, hum-drum people.  They're nice (The parents are, anyway, the kids are little assholes), but there's nothing special about them.

My best friend has an aunt and uncle (as associated rugrats) who are majorly Mormon and she (the aunt) is a true and genuine asshole of the first degree.  She approached my best friend's mother and told her that she was raising my best friend and her brother wrong because they weren't being raised Mormon, among other socially inept confrontations.

I've been to Salt Lake City and the people there are average-looking, and nobody is glowing.  My best friend lived there for two years while she did her Masters program and came away with the sense that Mormons are exclusionary elitists who look down on, or treat differently, anyone who is not Mormon.

Mormons put on a face for the world, trying to convey how happy and wonderful and perfect their lives are because they have the One True Church® when they experience happiness and suffering and health and illness and all the rest as exactly the same rates as everyone else - though there are some studies that show that Mormon women, especially, tend to suffer from depression more, and that Mormon abuse prescription medication at higher rates than the general population.

So, yeah.  Confirmation bias probably explains your experience.

Oh now you have me curious.  Do you think I could get a peek at your FB page?

Are you talking to me, or Clueless Morgan?

I meant you, Cath-y.

I'm hurt, Whatevs.
