Re: Ugly

[ariakas]

To me this question (and its inverse) always make me leery, because any time I've been asked it in real life, it's been a trap. From both friends and boyfriends, "what do you think is hot/not hot" has invariably been an excuse to either rag on any stated preferences, or baaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww if any dislikes happen to match their own characteristics in even the most minor ways.

So now I just make up some bullshit about personality or switch the topic. Ugh. Seriously people, whatever you personally like/dislike, there is always someone who feels the opposite. Someone out there thinks you're hot. Conversely, someone out there thinks you're ugly. Just suck it up.

^ This. Attraction is not a universal thing, no matter how many people would like to believe that everyone else has the same standards of beauty that they do. You don't look at a person and go, "Well their face is 85% symmetrical and they have a 6:10 waist to hip ratio, so that makes them a 7 because they have brown hair and brown hair is plain." No. You look at a person and they either do it for you or they don't. And attraction, especially a growing attraction, has more to do with proximity and positive interactions. So the more happy times you have with someone, the more attractive that person who you already dig is going to become to you.

The people who drone on and on about "facial symmetry" and the "golden ratio" generally know not the slightest thing about biology or psychology; what they know is a regurgitated (tremendously dumbed down) version of evolutionary psychology from popular science articles, which may or may not have completely butchered the original scientific publication on which they're reporting. Doesn't matter to these people, because they don't know any better, and it fits their worldview to see attraction as a universal, so that people can fall on a sliding scale from 1 to 10 or omega to alpha or whatever teenaged males in their parents' basements wearing fedoras are calling it these days.
