“If I had a dollar for every time I was told I was unattractive, I would be attractive”

A saying about the attractiveness of money is:

“If I had a dollar for every time I was told I was unattractive to women, I’d be attractive to women.”

“If I had a dollar for every time a girl found me unattractive, I would suddenly become more attractive to all of them” was posted on Twitter on October 17, 2014. The jocular saying has been printed on many images.
