  1. obviously, but you made a fool of yourself posting this thread regardless of the typo in the subject so no losses there
     
  2. Lmfao a bird
     
  3. Model level sexy = skinny to our society, but our society is also, rapidly declining in heterosexuality.
     
  4. Anyone can be attractive to anyone.
     
  5. Jacob please stop saying things I agree with
     
  6. See the thing is, we can change all "ugly" weather it's going to the gym, getting a make over etc..However you will ALWAY have you rude ass personality. And in the end that is what gets you dumped..Not your looks
     
  7. Discuss
     
  8. Booty > boobs
     
  9. All I'm stating is, if people will sleep with animals, don't you think they'll sleep with people who others find unattractive? People are attracted to many things, plants and even food.
     
  10. I don't think looks mattered cause after me, my eyes sleep with so many ugly men, even they've lost count.
     
  11. Wtf does ugly mean to you?
    Ugly means unpleasant to look at. Unsightly.

    "Unpleasant or Repulsive, especially in appearance"

    Perhaps even a bit disgusting.

    These things are physiological responses to a stimulant, not a social stigma.
    Ugly is not stigmatised. Ugly is what we find some things to be... Some things which you (apparently don't based on your paragraph) argue are social norms (for one, symmetricality).

    While you may not believe us, as a species, to be in need of maintaining 'physically' attractive (FUNCTIONAL AND HEALTHY) features :D, and to be more interested in strong mental health, intelligence and perhaps even cultural memes rather than genes.... OUR BIOLOGY AND NATURE still make us prioritize those things...

    Your wokeness is unlikely to make you enjoy looking at an atrophied face and body... But you might not feel that it is as unpleasant to look at as others might... Or you might tolerate the unpleasantness more because you know that looking at them for only a short time would be rude and hurt their feelings :D

    What stigma on the word ugly are you referring to?
    I'm unaware of any stigma. I know that sometimes people use the word to refer to personalities or animals or evem behaviour. Ugly behaviour. What they did was so ugly... But it still means unattractive or repulsive.

    Many people don't want to be ugly because they want people to find them attractive. They want to feel physically pleasant and attractive. They want to look like a healthy hooman. So the insult hurts. It cuts down to our very nature.

    Yes, some parts of attraction are more memetic than genetic.
    Big breasts are often seen as genetic because larger breasts = more nutrition for kids... But they can be too large for an infant to feed off of and that's a problem.
    Wider hips generally mean a mother's less likely to die in childbirth.
    Red lips sometimes means a woman is more um "sexually receptive"
    High heels elevate the tush and stuff... I forget all of these ones...
    Most cosmetics are a part of our culture because they increase attraction and fool the male brain.

    If you'd like to clarify what stigma exists around the word ugly,
    And provide some examples of culturally constructed, physical ways that women increase their chances of attracting a mate, then I'd be all ears, but I thought I explained very well how symmetricality being nice to look at and attractuve was more than "culturally constructed" as though that's necessarily some kind of evil.

    If we should now be picking partners based on memetic things rather than genetic things, might someone wearing something indicative of good taste/values not be a fair standard of attraction too, despite being a result of culture?
