    I see pictures of people on tinder that are so smooth and unreal it’s fucking creepy. Like to a point where the nose disappears and the eyes are in front of the hair, because they are not real. And i know this is often a social media thing and a body dysmorphophobia problem, but i also wonder who looks at these pictures and goes: ahh yes, the perfect women

      i feel this about most famous women who are said to be soooo attractive, like yeah sure angelina jolie isn’t ugly but come on how is she more attractive than a normal person? Same goes for bodybuilder guys, it’s so patently fake and harmful to their bodies!

      at least the male hollywood standard can be somewhat sensible, george clooney looks like a real human person even if he’s the equivalent of a freshly groomed schnauzer.

      but really, the most attractive people i’ve seen are just normal people on the street, and that’s without counting the fact that you can actually feasibly get into a relationship with them and they might actually be pleasant to be around.

        I can see that bodybuilders are not attractive to most people, but how are their bodies ‘fake’? Getting to look like that is hard work, and not just a matter of money, makeup and plastic surgery.

      Either it’s women using filters to touch up their images, or it’s AI slop being pushed to artificially inflate app userbases and make it look like there are actually women on the platform…

    Apparently they would get so dazzled by the bumpy brown beer bottles that they would incessantly try to mate with the bottles, even if ants started picking them apart.

          Sour grapes plus that thing where people who don’t eat fruit for a long time but eat artificial fruit flavoring think real fruit tastes gross. Reality with all its imperfections and subtlety is unappetizing to them, they only desire the artificial which is familiar to them.

              Yeah. I think that’s one of the points of the anti porn people that I don’t necessarily disagree with the point they’re making I just think they’re overly focused on the thing they see as sinful and ignoring that a) there’s porn where the bodies look real, b) porn isn’t the only culprit here, movies, tv, social media, advertisements, etc all depict similarly unrealistic depictions of bodies and it’s in that landscape where a vast majority of entertainment contains such unrealistic depictions that this is able to happen, and c) that’s still not a sufficient argument to ban a form of expression, if it was there’d be a lot more in need of banning see point b

              I think point b is really the crux here. It doesn’t matter whether your unrealistic depiction of sexual partners is movie stars, porn stars, anime, or what sitcoms depict the average family as; if you aren’t engaging in real life with real people you’re going to get unrealistic expectations.

              And I don’t really have a solution that doesn’t involve pressuring people to touch grass. Like that’s clearly what they need, but especially for incels they’re going to be rejected by communities when they try because they’re behaving terribly and sometimes hurting people in the process.

      it’s baffling because personally i could rant about how pretty most women are for hours on end, and if desired i can extend that to a lot of guys as well and i’m not even that into dudes.

        Yeah, me too. I can appreciate aesthetics. I’m I cishet guy but I can admit that Jude Law or Daniel Craig are very, very pretty. I may not be attracted to them, but I’m not blind.

      I have definitely seen naked women that closely resemble that figuring, so I don’t think it is that exaggerated anymore.

          I actually heard that this was most desirable in the stone age as the plumper women could survive winters and childrearing. So it is a bit like stone age photoshop, just not in the direction we usually expect.

            Yeah for most of human history being fat was seen as a sign of wealth and was considered attractive. It’s only recently that we started seeing skinniness as attractive.

      Besides “AI and facetuned images” from OP, another supernormal stimulus that comes to mind is fat anime tiddies.

    How freaking big are Jewel Beetles if they are trying to mate a beer bottle!?!?

    All jokes aside they are not small but they aren’t the size of a beer bottle either.

      Same, though i don’t even consider them imperfections since that implies it’s in any way negative.

      It’s more like how a perfectly uniform naan bread is just boring and kind of unappealing, you want the bubbles and charring for flavour and visual appeal.

    What looks good is what looks good. Don’t feel bad if you can’t compare with a beer bottle.
