"Some years ago one of my friends, a former photographic model, decided to participate in a documentary that set out to study the advantages enjoyed by the more attractive people in our society.
Part of the process involved her dressing down, changing her posture, and adopting a surly, scowling demeanor. Her job was to engage others in helping and supporting her in a variety of situations. She would then transform back into her normal impeccable self and attempt to replicate this exercise.
What did she experience? As a dowdy shadow of her usual self, she only managed to enlist two out of 15 people to help her. But as soon as her usual gorgeous self re-emerged, 12 out of 15 were more than willing to offer whatever assistance she required. The only difference between the two scenarios was her looks."

I think there's a difference between loving someone and finding them sexually attractive. I don't think we love people just because they are good looking.
Adrian ( Resident A-hole) · agreed! though, we're more likely to jump thru hoops for the more attractive.....
GG · Really?? I'm not so sure on that you know. I think majority of us would be highly judgemental if some stunning woman tried to have us running around after her. I'm sure we would all know what was going on and tell her to do one!
Adrian ( Resident A-hole) · but, that's just you! if you stop to think bout it, FUCK YEA, that shit's stupid, but seriously who stops to think right away? that's where the saying 'hindsight is always 20/20' came from!
GG · So you're telling me that you would run around after some woman JUST because she was beautiful? For someone who has a big outspoken opinon on things, i highly doubt it lol
Adrian ( Resident A-hole) · well, duh! i overthink things at times! but lets look at facts- i have a penis as well as the desires and needs associated. therefore if i SEE a woman i deem 'attractive' w/o thinking analytically first, then yeah i'll find myself unwittingly gravitating towards her. it's human nature. remove anything analytical and you will be attracted to someone physically appealing to you.
Adrian ( Resident A-hole) · also, you are taking the word 'love' way too litterally! the way it's written is similar to 'intensely liking'. like i love wrestling, but i am in love with jenny. same word, two different meanings!

I still stand by the concept that "Beauty" is opinion based. I don't need a magazine to tell me what a sexy women looks like, that's up for me to decide.
