Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Have at ye]

Agree with Kol. Also, I had to agree with Shannon and can't believe we're still on the "looks matter" BS arguments.

I'll say it again: I'm an 8 looks-wise and have always had trouble with women. If it was looks they wanted I'd be swimming in it, but I'm not, so obviously it's something else.

Looks matter WAY less than most think. To add to that, beauty is HIGHLY subjective. You might be a 10 to one person, and at the same time a 5 to another, and vice versa.

That is correct.

Also, my ex is a fashion designer. Let me tell what I've learned - what is commonly accepted and believed to be the epitome of physical attractiveness in a person (whether male, female, or anything in-between, lol) is often subservient to current *fashion*. And these change and vary from culture to culture. And fashion is subject to various influences.

This can be easily checked through research if someone does not believe me.

Two zany examples off the top of my head:

- This is, apparently, what people of Iran/Persia considered the epitome of female beauty in the 19th century: https://vid.alarabiya.net/images/2017/09...88x442.jpg

- According to some researchers, the Greeks of old (from the Independent Polis times) believed that having a big penis is unattractive in a man, and was also considered to be proof of one's stupidity. Is why researchers persume a lot of the manly-man sculptures in the classic style have very small penises.

The world is a rich tapestry, my friends. And change is a constant.
