And I’m not saying I find those girls beautiful either, only that they’re attractive. They aren’t my personal definition of beautiful but it would be untrue to say I find them unattractive.
I remember having lunch with one of the professors I worked with at the Univ of Utah and he looked up at a passing male student and said, “now there’s a good looking guy, i wish I looked like him.”
A perfectly innocuous comment but I felt like, hooray for him for being confident and bold enough to say something like that.
Youth and beauty are linked in our western civilization. Some societies value their elderly as ‘beautiful’ people, but not necessarily as sexual icons. In the West, we see young people as sort of defining what “beauty” is. And let’s be honest, like you said, they have features such as glowing skin and youthful exuberance that add to their attractiveness.
That’s all I’m saying - and yes I’m aware I’m making generalizations (which I think I acknowledged somewhere here) and that always prompts people to slam me, but after all I’m not here for popularity or to get upvoted.
If all I wanted was to feel popular or well regarded, I certainly wouldn’t look for that from a social media site. However I do appreciate your comments and your willingness to converse in an adult way.
