Willow ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've seen stuff on TV, where they try to test for things like how people unconsciously react to the appearance of others. They usually use babies. They react better to pretty people than to less-than-pretty people. Ergo, according to the TV people, humans are pre-disposed to be attracted to beauty.
I don't know if that really means anything.
So what, then, is progress? A woman's currency is...anything? Dependent on her and the man? Variable in the same way a man's may be (and it can't be denied that his currency can often be his actualy currency)?
Unrelatedly, traumatic gag link. Traumatic in the NSFW way.
ita, goddammit! I totally thought she was kidding, she is not.
ita, that link took me to phonetrace.org, was that what it was supposed to do?
ita, goddammit! I totally thought she was kidding, she is not.
I'm finally totally up front about my link and it's some weird cry-wolf thing, huh?
I'm guessing you didn't put in a number, quester.
Oh, no I didn't.
eta: now I get it.
humans are pre-disposed to be attracted to beauty.
Actually, we're pre-disposed to be attracted to symmetry. The more symmetrical the person's face/body, the fewer genetic abnormalities.
Sail! You're right. I knew I was mis-remembering something.
ita's link was wrong, and traumatic, and still kind of funny.
I'm pretty damn symmetrical, and yet, it's not really working out for me.
I can't believe people click ita's links. I mean, she even WARNS people, and yet, I see people clicking the links.
What gives? You're all the same people who slow down to look at accidents on the opposite side of the freeway, right?
Next time traffic is at a standstill for no particular reason, I'll think to myself, Somewhere a few miles up the freeway, bon bon is clicking one of ita's links. Fucking rubbernecking link-clicking bon. She does this every morning on the 405.
