[QUOTE="Negative Zero, post: 1022088, member: 3794"] [b]Re: re[/b] quite right. beauty is analogous to healthy. we find clear skin, shiny hair, bright eyes, white teeth, and firm musculature attractive, because those are all signs of a healthy partner and by direct association, someone capable of providing healthy children. now of course, very few people if anyone at all, actually thinks this way consciously anymore, but it's still the subconscious/genetic thought process that determines attractiveness. trying to say that one should not find attractive people ... well, attractive, is ridiculous. ALL humans are designed this way. ... well the ones with all their wires connected, anyway. so is a discussion on the merits of viewing photos of attarctive women [b]not[/b] part of this "wide variety of topics"? and before anyone runs to the ogling argument, ArthurQ never said: "i'm gonna start an album so we can all ogle in the same place!" the whole ogling argument was started by people who made assumptions that everyone does that. and what's inappropriate about looking at pretty women in a role playing forum? don't tell me that pretty women aren't a huge part of gaming since gaming was gaming! unless i miss my guess, roleplaying was aimed at adolescent and teenage boys. what do you think they think about? besides, if someone ogles someone else, how is that any business of yours or mine? see to your own motivations and desires and those of the people who you have direct influence over (read children). does anyone really think that ranting about it here will change the mind of any ogler? in any event, both men ad women react to good looking people in the same way. they treat them better. it's true. and the few people who don't usually have some deeper hidden reason for doing so. are beautiful people at an advantage? absolutely! is it unfair? probably. but when you think about it, how much of life is fair? none of it, really. life just is. ~NegZ [/QUOTE]
