    The woman I was talking about had a perfect body and a beautiful face with no makeup, no trappings, no effort. But all the men ignored her. You are completely resisting my point. What you are talking about when you talk about movie stars as the beautiful ones you are being blinded by flash and sparkle. If you take all the dressings off, most of them look like any other woman on the street. What you perceive to be beauty is fake BS.

    Any one, not just any man, especially those who disregard documented fact and persist in engaging in projections.

    It's technically a fetish. They're actually responding to the 'devices', not the person.

    How can you be so sure she went unnoticed? A "perfect body" would have most men turning their heads.

    Wtf? I never said movie stars are the only beautiful women. :confused:

    I'm not sure this can be entirely correct. Just my own experience alone, tells me otherwise. I don't wear makeup, I don't dye my grey hair, and I still - in my early 50s! - find myself fending off unwanted attention.

    Facial symmetry, skin quality, and body shape (ie, not obese) are the triggers for males ... since these are the indicators of 'good genes' and general health.

    the criteria for good looks are much higher for women. A man can have wrinkles, a woman shouldn’t.

    If you are not aware that the criteria for women is looks then I suggest you go into a department store and look at the cosmetics department. I suggest you look at the span of a female actors roles as compared to male actors.

    Are you saying that you allow the cosmetics industry and/or Hollywood to tell you how to feel? If you feel 'angry' about these alleged intolerances of female imperfection, then you are allowing them to tell you how to feel.

    If you don't believe wrinkles are 'bad', then wrinkles aren't bad. Unless you happen to work in one of these extreme industries (media, fashion, etc) - and lets face it, so few of us do - then none of that ridiculous world matters. It has literally zero bearing on your actual life as a confident and intelligent woman.

    that may well be true but women don't usually have to worry that they may not be accepted because they were too short - vertically challenged guys like me often have to face problems like this

    why can't us short guys ever have something like this happen to us:

    Nothing wrong with short blokes. It's 'short man syndrome' that many women dislike. As in, short men with chips on shoulders. Or the try-too-hards. If you (as a short bloke) behave as though you don't regard it as a disadvantage, you'll do as well as the tall blokes.

    I didn't realize that. I Love Lucy not only invented the sitcom format but the actual 3 camera way they were shot for years and many still are.

    The word glamor is actually the Irish word for magic, all women have it, which is why the race continues, but it is fleeting, which is why men retain some small influence in a women's world

    Not so. Mind you, more often than not some of those gals are shorter than guys like me. These gals insist on guys over 6' tall. More to the point here is the fact that guys are subjected to body shaming just as often if not more so than gals. That's fact though not generally considered by society.

    Yes, it is all about socialization. If you don’t believe wrinkles are bad then they’re not is being logical but absolutely lacking in the psychological.It’s like the parents hotel there morbidly obese kid who was teased that it’s the other kids fault.

    Guys are body shamed if they are short. But they are not scrutinize like women. Remember how they called Hillary kankels? ..boobs? Ass? Hips? I asked something in my sex Ed class that was confidential. I asked the kids how many were content with their bodies. I don’t think one girl was and practically every boy was. The problem boys would write to me was about their height. I taught sex ed to seventh and eighth graders and the girls were usually taller at that point and the boys would lament

    No, it's known. Short men are definitely at a mating disadvantage, but character goes a long way to making up that deficit. We've all seen short men who do incredibly well with women .. and it's no random fluke.

    Again though (as per our discussions in the Incels thread), none of it matters if everyone is married by age 25. Those with genetic disadvantage in the mating game never have a problem in a world where everyone is hitched young. It only becomes a problem when such people remain single well into adulthood. That world is too mercenary for anyone but the most genetically blessed - and even they will hit the wall once they reach a certain age.

    In that case your girls have been subject to some piss poor parenting. My teenaged daughter never thinks about this stuff. She's far more interested in her hobbies and activities, than in whether her peers approve of her carcass. That's not an accident .. it comes from a parental commitment to ignoring her beauty (of which she has considerably more than is fair .. and that's the point), never mentioning it, never telling her that she's beautiful, or 'slim' or any such reference to externals or accidents of birth. Instead we compliment her ONLY on the things she has worked for - achievements in sport and education, well-maintained friendships, the product of her mind, her kindness, her strong and fit physical condition, etc etc.

    Some don't approve of this method, considering it too conditional upon effort. To that I say, yeah .. that's the point. Do you want your kids lamenting the accidents of their birth and/or relying upon the blessings of their birth - attitudes which can lead to dysfunction and poor outcomes? Or do you want them to work positively with what they have - an attitude which will serve them well throughout life?
