Perception of Beauty: Relative or Absolute?
perception is subjective, however there are aesthetic features most people would agree on being beautiful, and arts employ these objective common perceptions / formulas. the other thing is that we naturally find images of ourselves ugly or less beautiful than others may.
What do people have against tattoos?
I don't speak for anyone else, but I will tell you what I personally don't like about them.People get them because they want to "stand out." Ironically once you get one, you have a tattoo just like everyone else.The thing that you think is so amazing that you want it permanently etched into your skin is probably not so cool to me. You may think, "Yes, but my tattoo says something about ME." And I would agree; it says, "This person probably doesn't think things through."Most people don't stop at one or two. They also didn't have any kind of plan when they started this lifelong art project, so there's not usually any kind of theme or motif. The result is a patchwork of random clutter. If you have tattoos of a fairy, an Insane Clown Posse logo, and Catholic prayer hands clasping a rosary, I'm talking about you. Less is more.I like natural beauty. I like women with no tattoos or piercings, wear little to no makeup, and ideally still have their natural hair color. It turns out that there are no women like that, haha. =)I will say that I have considered getting a tattoo many times, and I'm glad that I didn't get every single one of them. I've been considering getting one recently; it would say "SHRAPNEL - Do Not MRI". The reason is in case I'm ever in a car accident or something and become unconscious. I know it's unlikely that would happen, but seriously I have a lot of small shrapnel and an MRI would kill me.I have seen a few women whose tats I liked. One was a tattoo magazine cover with a woman who had leopard spots from the nape of her neck down to her tailbone. Another was a Rebel logo from Star Wars on the woman's left hip. I rather liked that one.
Do guys like pretty girls or ugly girls?
Heres my take I'm a Senior in high school (guy) lol its kinda hard for me to judge you and the other girl based on looks. But like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. For example i like this sort of short like think 4'11-5'0 girl who has an A cup everyone who I tell is like buddy are you ******* serious? and I am always like yeah man shes smoking. The reason i like her is because she has personality and shes smart. If you want boys to notice you hug them all boys love to be touched. Another thing to consider is most people lie, I dated a so called slut who I feel in love with. She ended up blowing my best friend but thats another story. Many guys lie about hooking up and sometimes girls lie too. There are three different categorize of women categorize by men. The first are cute slim girls who you'd want to date, cuddle and fall in love with think Kristen Stewart, Blair Waldorf ect. The second are meaty/busty like they have some weight but like its not visible think like Kim Kadashian, Hillary Duff (when she started out) who you just want to hug forever. The third are movie Star Hawt like Hedi Montag, Serena Vanerwoodson ect. A general rule that i have learned is if your skinny with an A cup youll get boys but if your fat with a C no one will touch you. My GF has like an A and blonde curly hair I love her to bits. My best friend is like 5'5 slim with massive DDs and My other best girl friend is 5'7 Redish curly hair with a C and she gets boys as well. Its all in your confidence. By confident and the boys will follow Good luck Joshua
Guys do you like petite women?
Hey, I'm much like yourself. I don't think you have to worry about guys not liking petite women. I've had very tall and big guys who have been interested in me, so I know my shape and size isn't all bad. And 5' is not that short. I know of other women who are even shorter than that, like 4'8 to 4'11. I'm not making fun of them, but yeah we're taller compared to them. It just seems like taller girls are more abundant because...well, they're taller and more noticeable in a room. And for those who think that petite is ONLY about being SHORT, that's not true. When someone you haven't seen is described as being petite, you're first thought isn't "Oh so she's short", you're first thought is that she's short, small AND slim. Petite is used in clothing sizes, but it's not how the word was first meant to be used. Yes, there are shorter girls who are bigger, but they are not the stereotypical petite, they just so happen to buy clothes in the petite section in a size 14. I'm not knocking bigger girls, but it's true, they are not the image of petite that comes to mind when the word is used. I know someone who is 4'8 and wears a size 16, and she's considered short, thick, and "curvy", but not petite. No one else has ever said she was petite either. Short yes, petite no.
Why do women choose men far below their dating potential? Does personality play such a big role?
The statement that women choose men far below their potential is a merely a viewpoint. I'll split the answer in two sections: the first will elaborate on how viewpoint and opinions matter, and the later part would try to explain why it is true in some (or sometimes most) of the casesDating game: The entire dating game is based upon perception individual tastes / values. Let me take you through a thought experiment.Imagine a room with 50 girls and 50 boys. Each girl and boy has a number on his/her forehead which only the other can see. The number ranges from 1 to 50. The person with 1 is the best one having all desirable qualities the other sex wants from his/her partner. Now, when they start interacting, each boy/girl doesn't know the numbers on their forehead / rank. However, they can figure out which rank girl/guy are willing to stay with him/her. This provides him an estimate about one's own rank. Given enough time, each one will find his/her own equal.But the reality is different. There is no rank stamped on everybody's forehead. Also, the qualitiies one seeks from partner is different. This makes the scene a lot more complicated. Thus, it might be the case that a woman may choose to settle for a person who is deemed lesser in potential by the society.Why women settle for men "below their potential"?Apart from the above fact, it must be noted that not all boys do go and ask out a girl he likes. This creates a scenario where a girl/guy doesn't approach one another simply because they are shy or fear rejection, etc. When only men with "lesser potential" approaches, the chances of him being successful are obviously much higher compared to one never approaching a girl.
I don't want to be so superficial, but I only want to date pretty girls. What should I do?
I don't know if a Quora answer can actually help you start getting attracted to girls you don't feel attracted to naturally as of now. From my understanding of people and their psyche, you will only really truly realize things when you experience them on your own.I'd suggest you to not pay heed to the "Real men don't love physically beautiful women...." kind of suggestions. I don't think things work like that. You already do understand that there is possibly a flaw in your superficial choices but they're still your choices for a reason. How would saying the same thing in poetry or prose help you further is beyond me.I would suggest you to go ahead with your superficial choices, go ahead and only date pretty girls. That's what you're into, and there's no reason to not like what you like. If you force yourself to believe that you should date a girl you find 'ugly/not pretty enough', it's not going to last anyway.Hopefully, sooner than later, you will have dated enough pretty girls to have it out of your system. If not, good enough, you've landed with the kind of person you wanted- pretty. But if and when you do, it will be because you have understood things by experience and have naturally started finding other things attractive- intellect, kindness, humor, confidence, common interests.. whatever floats your boat. This is the only way I see it working our for you. The ability to see beauty in a person doesn't come naturally to everyone. Some are born with it, some never develop it, and for some it's acquired over time and experiences.
Guys: is there such a thing as your GF sending you too many nudes?
Regardless of how much my guy begged me nudes used to be out of the question - if he got a busty cleavage shot it’d be his lucky day and he’d be referencing it for days. But since going long distance for a while I’ve tried to be more open minded – first sending him teasing pictures, moving on to the full on shots, X-rated close ups, videos that rival any celeb’s scandal and interactive Skype sessions. Over the past 2 months I’ve gotten very comfortable with taking these and have been surprising him with snaps/videos/texts/emails about 2-3 times a week. Initially he got supper excited, but I think I may have overdone it. It’s just normal now; he doesn’t screenshot everything, and he rarely asks for more. I’ve tried getting a little more creative with some costumes and have thought about wigs/makeup/personas (hopefully fulfilling his, probable, fantasies of other women). Should I try to up my game or just stop sending him things until he begs for them? Would you be more likely to lose interest if your GF constantly send you things or would you seek for alternative women (I don’t care if he looks, I mean physically) for entertainment? Thanks! PS I still have about 4 months to go so any tips on what you would love to see from a girl would be very much appreciated and hopefully make a brother’s day ;) I won’t judge any ‘unusual’ fantasies. Ladies: any tips from your past experience are, of course, more than welcome too.
Does anyone ever wear 2 bras?
Well, it's better than going out and spending $50 on those disgusting balloon bras in Victoria's Secret. I think they're called Bombshell bras. They so padded, and it's disgusting. I have no problem with slightly padded bras, but when bras are this padded, it's really disgusting. I saw some 7 year olds in Victoria's Secret yesterday picking them out. DISGUSTING. Honestly, many girls wear padded bras. Wearing two bras is just about as fake as that. Your friends probably wear padded bras, so if they do that, tell them you're just as gross as they are. If it helps boost your confidence, do it. BUT if you ever don't wear those two bras one day, people will be forced to either think that a) your boobs shrunk or b) your boobs were fake. But don't feel too bad. Like I've said repeatedly, it's just as bad as wearing a padded bra, which most girls are doing. I'm not saying whether I condone this or forbid it, but it makes you feel good. It's not harming you, so if you really wish to, be my guest. EDIT: See? They're just as "gross" as you. Next time they tell you how gross you are, retort with something along those lines. Hypocrites.
