Q for Julia
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 17th, 2010 9:16 PM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital Julia, I've always wanted to ask you a question about all of this stuff. I've been reading your exchanges in the Harvard Couple threads and see your posts re: female beauty and preferences.
We seem to have very different dating experiences even though I don't think we look all that different and by virtue of your tits you probably would be considered more attractive than me.
I date almost exclusively within the "white, 20something upper middle class" type and I'm a straight-nosed girl who has been described as "exotic" before (although I HATE HATE HATE being described that).
Never had problems nor did I feel like I was facing an uphill battle because I wasn't their type. Since I turned 18 I never felt that certain kinds of men would disfavor dark hair/olive skin or have a major preference for blondes/blue eyes. Blondes are more prevalent in certain places which may explain why some people interpret there being a preference. People have their own individual preferences but I don't get overwhelmingly more attention in Buenos Aires than I do in the Midwest (and I've visited both).
People are now exposed to a ton of different types of beautiful people, so your argument that you tend to prefer what you grew up with is garbage. I also know many white blondes who prefer darker, more exotic guys; white guys who prefer the female equivalent, and vice versa.
Just had to share. |

Date: October 17th, 2010 10:23 PM Author: shivering garrison mental disorder i speak in generalities, of course -- it's impossible to attribute specific preferences to every single person within a certain demographic. In general, however, people fall into 3 camps regarding human attractiveness:
1)those who prefer what is familiarly beautiful. i would argue this comprises maye 60% of any human population.
2)those who prefer what is exotically or unusually beautiful/striking. i'd argue this comprises maybe 20% of any human pop.
3) those who appreciate beauty more democratically -- they like a very broad variety or 'types', 'looks", 'facial structures",etc. i'd argue this maybe another 20% of any pop. |

Date: October 18th, 2010 12:11 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital Then why do you think you do poorly with the same demographic that I do very well with? I have seen your photos and we look more alike than not alike from the neck up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1453096&forum_id=2#16320297) |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 12:12 AM Author: shivering garrison mental disorder i don't necessarily do poorly w that demographic. i've been dating a guy from said demographic for 2.5 yrs now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1453096&forum_id=2#16320305) |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 12:22 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital And I've been dating guys from that demographic (or their UK/Australian equivalent) since I was 18.
You often talk about how certain kinds of girls are preferred by white, upper middle class guys in their 20s. I am most definitely not that kind of person (physically speaking) yet I've done just fine with them. I went to South America with a bunch of people in this demographic a few years ago and they were all like "shit why can't girls in America look like this".
As for Latin men or men of other ethnic backgrounds, I only do well with them if they are culturally American/preppy/whitewashed etc... I think many more people are "democratic" about beauty than you give them credit for above, and since people are now exposed to all varieties of beautiful, the first kind of attraction is often conflated with the last. |

Date: October 18th, 2010 12:32 AM Author: shivering garrison mental disorder Like i said, these are broad generalizations -- and although people have, in fact, become increasingly attuned to various types of beauty -- certain cultural preferences/beauty norms still play a large part in many people's tastes. the degree to which it affects people's tastes,however, differs between individuals.
in regards to the specific demographic you mention, i think xoxo provides us with a good dose of anecdotal evidence about the beauty norms preferred by this group. note, too, that there is individual variation -- but that there is oftena good degree of consensus on many matters of beauty that other demographics might not necessarily share.
as to my personal experience, i've dated a wide variety of men. i think being a fundamentally nice person and having some fairly universal positive physical traits helps. i get attention from many types of doods. but i don't kid myself that some types of men won't, on average, not like me better than others. and again, this is about average s--generalizations, and perceptions of beauty are becoming more universal. but demographic group preferences still persist, and i doubt that will ever really change . |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 12:52 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital "but i don't kid myself that some types of men won't, on average, not like me better than others."
The types of men that you won't think like you better than others are the types of men which like me better than others. We have markedly different experiences with the same demographic group.
Either we look less similar than I think we do or you're overestimating demographic consensuses re: beauty.
I don't see any major consensus - people post CGWBTs of all ethnicities, same with "rate this girl" threads. |

Date: October 18th, 2010 12:40 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house lol, so you have Julia's face but not her body? I was gonna say something mean, but man, I feel bad already. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1453096&forum_id=2#16320501) |

Date: October 18th, 2010 12:45 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house I'm trying to refrain from bashing you these days, so I'll just say your body is far superior to your face. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1453096&forum_id=2#16320542) |

Date: October 18th, 2010 12:47 AM Author: shivering garrison mental disorder well, thanks. in my defence, though, i'll just say that some people think my face is pretty good, too. this is all asinine, tho, and i support the idea of deleting this thread |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 12:54 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital You just can't help yourself from coming into a thread and making some kind of bitchmade barb at me, can you!
Like moth to flame. |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:03 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house you are not being fair here. my responses to you are always about 1/10 as harsh as they should be given how terrible of a person you are. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1453096&forum_id=2#16320699) |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:10 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital You're just butthurt because I've never dated an azn and I enjoy/prefer certain things that are part of White/American culture.
Would you hate me as much if I grew up half black and half asian, grew up in the inner city, and dressed like I belonged in a rap video? |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:18 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house pretty sure posters of all races and political leanings here think you are pretty terrible. it's not really a race specific thing at all.
I have some friends who are completely white washed Asians, and I certainly don't have any ill will toward them. A lot of times, a person's other qualities can overcome one quality that I may find disagreeable. However, with you, it's like everything is disagreeable. |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:27 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital The posters who dislike me fall into these categories:
1. Butthurt Azns (like you),
2. Butthurt Poors or Former Poors (Pederastrian), and
3. Men Who Have Failed At Life (:D)
I see those "most hated female poster" threads and I'm in the middle of the ranks. People may dislike me but you're one of the only ones who will come into a thread specifically to tell me so. The effort you go through is not something that many others will go through.

Date: October 18th, 2010 1:40 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house trust me, dear, I'm not butthurt at all over someone like you not open to dating Asian guys. It's only girls who are strikingly beautiful, or extremely impressive in some other ways, and who are not open to dating Asian guys that can somewhat get to me. I really don't care about what most of them do since I don't want them anyways. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1453096&forum_id=2#16320901) |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:42 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital "someone like you"
Explain what that means. I haven't posted a pic or talked about any accomplishments which could "out" me on XO. So, in theory, I could be strikingly beautiful or extremely impressive in some other way! |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:46 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house If you look like Julia, you are not strikingly beautiful to me. no offense to Julia, I think she is pretty hot still.
And you are a lawyer with a terrible personality, you are hardly impressive in other ways. |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:46 AM Author: shivering garrison mental disorder yeah, different tastes and all (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1453096&forum_id=2#16320929) |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:49 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital I have dark hair, olive skin, large dark brown eyes, a straight nose and high cheekbones. If Julia's someone's type, I would probably be their type as well.
As "terrible" as my personality may be, I still have never said to another person on XO that they have a terrible personality. Chew on that a bit. |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:50 AM Author: shivering garrison mental disorder yeah, you seem chill (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1453096&forum_id=2#16320951) |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 1:52 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital I think girls on here who enjoy argument/debate for sport or post unpopular opinions are pegged with "horrible personalities". Girls who are much loved on here (and I'm sure they are cool people IRL too) tend to agree with others, or refrain from expressing disagreement or controversial opinions.

Date: October 18th, 2010 2:03 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house commencing the victim stage of your trolling already?
fine, I'm sorry. to be fair though, I'm generally quite refrained even when I flame you, and you absolutely troll to get flamed. |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 2:10 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital I don't think I'm trolling to get flamed here. Nothing I'm saying here is in line with the stuff that usually gets me flamed so I am at a loss to see what your beef is.
Your "refrain" is an intense, brooding pianissimo, not a "meh, you kind of suck but whatever". You probably genuinely hate me more than anyone on this board.

Date: October 18th, 2010 2:16 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house and how exactly did you reach that conclusion? I interact with you like once a week, if that.

Date: October 18th, 2010 2:18 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital I only come on here like once or twice a week. Generally at about this time and maybe one or two more times during the week.
I always see your barbs. You are very predictable. You don't even criticize what I say beyond "this is dumb" or add anything to the discussion. You don't needle me with every post I make but if I'm a major presence in a thread, you're always there. |
|
Date: October 18th, 2010 2:28 AM Author: bistre up-to-no-good telephone step-uncle's house lol, that just isn't true. you are trying to make me out to be someone who follows you around and insults you, when I reply to you maybe once a week.
you are also obviously just playing a victim at this point, and far exaggerating my antagonizing of you. |

|
Date: October 18th, 2010 12:27 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital I'd say it's normal and most people are like this in practice, even though most have a "type". I know very few people who can't or don't deviate from type in practice, and at that point it becomes more fetish than type.

|
Date: October 18th, 2010 12:31 AM Author: galvanic lettuce hospital Again, that's normal. Most people have a few types of people to which they're predominantly attracted, or are just attracted to "hot" in any form it comes in.
Or, people have a type but it's more tied to culture/subculture than physicality.
