Well, sure, there is no totally objective standard for fugly - there is at best a range. Basing that range on some unobtainable ideal based on a bevy of movie stars strikes me as being self-defeating - if one cannot get "sensory pleasure" from someone who isn't a movie star or a supermodel, quite frankly I feel sorry for them - that's not a realistic measure.
If some poster had stated that they only find unobtainable women attractive I would agree that disfunctional.  But since no one has this is a total strawman.

QuoteAlso, the notion that "the best you can do is fugly you have to call her something other than fugly " implies that there is some sort of objective standard of "fugliness" that you know but that others are simply in denial about - I can assure you this is not the case: I'm not faking it when I state that lots of women I know are 'not fugly', I really believe it - looking at them gives me pleasure; I assume many others are the same ... if looking at such women gives you no pleasure, if you are forced to "settle" with women you find "fugly", then I repeat: that sucks.
Then we agree that Ustashe Boy is allowed to call anyone he wants fugly, with no regard whatsoever to obtainability.:cheers:

Your coding confuses and frightens me.  :cry:

The point is not whether some poster states that they "find only unobtainable women attractive", but that having obvious 'internet standards' usually pretty strongly implies it - well, either that, or that the poster in question is Hott Shit himself and can regularly date supermodels.  Which I suppose is always possible.

Hello?  What is this bullshit?  I am not allowed to disagree with him?  Fuck that shit.  I will say whatever I want about whatever opinion is posted on this board I want thanks.

Beyond that I certainly do not recall anybody saying anybody was not allowed to think somebody is fugly.  Simply their choice of who was or was not fugly was pretty absurd.

Consider your audience. Shouldn't that be "mooo"?

Of course you're allowed to disagree with him.  I was merely pointing out the logical flaw in your critique of his statement of *subjective* taste.

I haven't accused anyone in this thread of having such standards.  :huh:

I was responding to this:

"Totally irrelevant point, just because one cannot afford a Ferrari does not make a Lada a good car."


"But does that mean you regard everything short of a Ferrari as a shitty car?  Because if you cannot afford one that seems like condemning yourself to be miserable your whole life."


"Yup, that's "internet standards" in a nutshell.

Better to base your standards on what is actually available in real life. "

Only read the first post, why can't people be social, even since high school I talk and say hi to anyone and everyone, cute girl or ugly girl, she looks at me, I look back and say hi. Easy really, no matter who it is.

Quote from: Phillip V on March 27, 2009, 10:00:28 AMSuccess! For example, girl in another of my classes did the initiating a few weeks ago. We caught each others' eyes, and she added me on Facebook. With that go-ahead, I started engaging her without fear that she might think I was coming on to her. She sent me a message tonight asking for me to come over and help with her work. I said it was too late, but I would drop by tomorrow since it was "on my way". I believe that we are mutually looking for friendship (Facebook says she is in a relationship  ;) ), but now I secured a female companion who happens to be Latina. I have been meaning to connect with the small, but vibrant Hispanic community at my university, so this was the ideal eye-ing situation. Very minimal effort and risk on my part.

Ask her why she's taking photos of herself in a hotel bathroom.

Yeah, that seems like a pretty reasonable question :D

Well, whatever she was up to, I'm sure it involved the caveat "...but I'm doing it because I'm working my way through college."
