playing guitar is not any more indicative of someone's personality than boobs.

i mean rbg's tone in that thread was a bit weird but i didn't perceive it as offensive or insensitive.

I mean I love my girlfriend because of her heart and mind, but that doesn't make it immoral to also appreciate physical beauty. it's totally natural. I don't even think most feminist thinkers would go as far as to say that looking at women in a sexual manner is sexist. that's silly to me.

It was just a silly thread about nipples.

yeah but that doesn't really support your conclusion at all

playing guitar is indicative of some aspect of a personality. size and shape of breasts really isn't.

and if it's somehow comparable then you're really lending yourself into the argument that you treat objects like women, man

and furthermore the thread was clear that it was meant to promote the attractiveness of all sorts of body types, and not focus on the general cultural ideal of beauty.

A skill or talent might not be a physical attribute, but it is also not a personality trait.

the decision to play an instrument is indicative of some part of a person's personality.

well obv. i'm not saying i'm not into emma stone because of her cute face but what i'm saying is that there's a lot more going for her, and any other semi-famous person i find attractive, than just their looks.

i mean ritzy bryan would kind of annoy me if she wasn't so warm and charming on stage and didn't play ridiculous torrents of noise on her fender. I mean if she was a singer and didn't play the guitar I wouldn't really even think of her as a celebrity crush. I mean she's superficially cute, yeah, but i think she's adorable for more than simply her looks. Carrie Brownstein this is even more true for, when I first got into S-K i didn't really find Carrie all that attractive superficially but being in awe of her monster riffs and also her emergence as a comedian has made her a definite cutie in my opinion.

I was just going back to the "people are more than just their tits." Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. No real reason I asked that, just kinda posting to myself.

What a train wreck of a thread though, huh?

I was only getting started before charmidiot began sabotaging the thread. I can't bear the burden of posting all possible breast variations by myself. This was supposed to be a community effort.

i mean

why does a woman who gets implants have to be reduced to nothing more than her breasts?

it's also weird that rbg thinks appreciating varying forms of nipples is indicative of his recognizing beauty in all of its varying forms

i mean come on

you're making this a lot more difficult than it has to be

Oh they definitely don't, but lots of women get implants because they believe it's their only/best asset. Back to square one - you could argue posts like rbg's lead directly to that train of thought.

I took a weird sociology class back in school and did a project on enhancement surgery and popular culture. The surveyed percentage getting implants because they felt society "demanded" it was pretty high compared to what I'd have guessed (iirc something like 20-30 percent). Same with guys getting circumcision post childbirth, though it was quite a bit higher.

i guess that proves my thesis that most men don't know what implants look like since I'm under the impression that if you polled men they'd find fake tits to be unappealing if you asked them about it but if you show them pics of playboy centerfolds with implants they'll be like WOW THOSE ARE GREAT TITS!

Yeah well I shave and use soap, which don't occur normally in nature, but society demands it. Woe is me, a repressed being. I curse this society in which I live, for it's done nothing for me but rape my humanity.

Show us her boobs then so that we may appreciate your girlfriend's natural beauty.
