On Why I'm Hot

  1. Well Grit, we all knew you were a hunk.

    But I think it's quite interesting what they said on there.

    I'm surprised nothing about strong facial features (structured) was said, as that is usually an indication of genetic health. Or at least that's what I thought....

    It seems you thought right.

    What I found really noteworthy is that, supposedly, your ideal of beauty is the most repetitive facial pattern you are exposed to. This makes sense since said face would indicate a higher chance of survival because, from what you observe, a larger number of living beings carry those traits.
    So beauty is directly related to survival, and aesthetics then is drawn form that and not from what a poet wrote in some shabby cafe in Paris. Unless, of course, it was The Gritty Poet.

  3. Well that sure was a freaking interesting article you just posted.

    I think it explains all my problems: I have a pretty square face (Within the past 2 years it went from relatively round to pretty square(look at the pictures that I posted on my latest post, there is one from 2 years ago and one from now, IDK how that happens but whatever.) So that's why no one thinks I'm good looking! I'll be forever alone!

    I'm going to go eat a lot so my face gets rounder.
