Hey , I would rather say that the UI is inside the UX. You have to consider the UI as a part of the UX and less important. We understand each other, UI is important. But think of it; a website with a good UI but bad UX is so much unpleasant than a website with a bad UI and a good UX.
Please, reconsider your analogy with women, everyone has bad habits and bad manners. 😅 Judging someone about these kinds of things is a bit... Odd. Especially if you want to become a UX designer, it means that you have to be open-minded and want to work with a lot of different kind of people! 🤩 I would rather say that UI without UX is like a juicer that would split the juice everywhere, except in your glass. Here, Don Norman made an excellent conference with a lot of examples! All of these objects are beautiful, but the user experience is so bad that you will never use these items in fact.
Your designs are really cool! Thank you for sharing! Maybe use a lighter colour for your red buttons? To have better contrast, it will be more readable.
