Ethnicity and body hair

[Agent Provocateur]

I gotta say, I'm loving the pics of the hairy JUBbers. That's pretty much the only redeeming quality this thread has.

It has headed in the "normal" direction, when you have a MAJOR Troll, and an ENABLER Troll, trying, and trying, and failing so miserably, that all they can do is post "pretty" pics, and claim "see" told you so.

He'd be much cuter if his ears were pointed and his complexion just a faint touch of green.

In all honesty I don't think that any of us can refute the beauty inherent in the photographs that cary579 posted. I do personally think that they do reflect the general idea of "classical" beauty found in fashion/artistic photographs as they do probably in most people's idea of "classical" beauty.

I also think that he is probably right in linking his photographs to the statues of young Greek men as a justification that these are images of "classical" beauty.

But it is misleading to equate this so called beauty with their non-pilosity as it is not the absence of facial or body hair that is the important factor in determining their so called beauty but rather their youthfulness. Naturally all absence of facial hair accentuates this image of youth as the ultimate beauty.

With sexual preferences we move away totally from any preconceived ideas of "classical" beauty. It is also misleading to equate this form of "classical" beauty with fashion designers and photographers as both of these are constantly trying to reinvent images and thus the classic beauty without beard becomes the bearded beauty for the next season.

Let me be the opportunist this time

P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N

I find none of these men attractive

Just to clarify do you mean that you don't find them handsome, that you find them ugly or that you find that none of them fit your sexual preferences.

I can certainly see the physical beauty in someone even if sexually they don't turn me on one bit.

I don't find them beautiful. I find that they have nice bodies. That doesn't equal beauty to me.

A voice of reason enters the thread. About time.

Michelangelo could have made David bearded but why didn't he?

Michelangelo (and Donatello and Verocchio, his fellow Florentine sculptors) represented David without a beard because, according to the Biblical account, David was a boy, and his foe, Goliath was a man, as well as a giant. The Donatello and Verocchio Davids look more boyish to be sure, but David would never be portrayed with a beard, just as Goliath would never be portrayed without one.

I was talking to somebody I know who works in radio. I asked her why they played certain songs, and she said "Our goal isn't to play songs people like. Our goal is to play songs people don't hate." In short, she'd rather play a song that most people have no real opinion on than one which is more polarizing. Reason being - even if three-quarters of the listeners love it and a quarter of them hate it, that quarter will change stations. But if it's a song nobody hates, even if nobody is gung-ho about it, everybody is more likely to stick around.

And I wonder if this can be applied to this thread. Perhaps the pictures and people that carey is posting aren't "the most attractive", necessarily, but...well, the least ugly? Or, more to the point, "these are the people that the fewest people will find unattractive". And perhaps that's the overall point. When you're using a model on the cover of your magazine, you want to appeal to as many people as possible. And (related but not quite the same) you want to offend as few people with your choice as possible. If they put somebody like one of carey's guys on the cover, I wouldn't find it my cup of tea, but I wouldn't recoil in horror. I wouldn't say "Who thinks THAT's attractive?!" But if they put mikey (or me) on the cover, I'm betting carey wouldn't be the only person unhappy with the result.

That was the point of the McDonald's comparison which obviously didn't get through.
