Then I walk down the street and slip on a series of banana peels until a piano falls on me and I turn into a human accordion going HEE HAW HEE HAW.

Are people here goldfish? Is it odd to remember a post from six months ago? How do you guys have careers that involve your brain? I remember posts here from ten years ago.


I’ve been on a lot of different forums over the years and you’re the only poster I’ve ever seen on any of them who consistently dredges up old posts from other members during your discussions. I don’t think it’s super odd to remember old posts but it’s not the norm to constantly go back to them.

I also think you probably take your posting here a lot more seriously than other people.

Wow, this has taken some crazy turns. Not sure even where I would jump in to push buttons. Even has @FlyingMonkey bragging about how many people he has on ignore and @dieworkwear advocating for men dressing like women to show that they are not new to wearing clothes.

To be clear, wolf-whistling is greatly preferable to male fragility.

You must have arrived after Vox, who consistently posted photos of people's fit pics without pants and standing on toilets.

1. Butch. 2. Butch. 3. Not butch (again: cuteness and the fact that she has that sort of adolescent boy look that lets her pull of androgeny that much more easily). 4. Here's a tough one, as the look has that element of the feminine, even if veers towards the butch side. I think it is helped by her cold, sexless features. In this case, again, it is approximation of adolescent male. 5. Just kind of frump here, though the wool cap is trying to be cute. 6. She looks like she's wearing a bath robe. 9. Offset by her cuteness, even if body wise she is kind of, again, adolescent manny. 10. Natalie Portman really looks like a ******* frump here. 11. Approximation of adolescence + cute colours. 12. Adolescence + the feminine touch of jewelry and the hat. 12. Adolescent look again.

You have an incredibly limited style vocabulary.

I've already given you the answer to this, but I will state this again:

Feminine features track neoteny. Even when women have sexual dimorphic features, the feminine retains neotenous elements.

Facial shape
Smaller bodies
Softer voices
Very little bone structural changes except the widening of the hips/pelvis.
Even things like eyelash length. (Have you ever noticed how children tend to have really long eye lashes?)

Thus even if a woman has a more obviously feminine build, she still has the neotenous features to look cute. Cute is something that almost exclusively belongs to women as an aesthetic. Why? Because they are more child-like (neotenous) in appearance.

“In a cross-cultural study, more neotenized female faces were the most attractive to men while less neotenized female faces were the least attractive to men, regardless of the females' actual age.[15] Using a panel of Asian, Hispanic and White judges, Michael R. Cunningham found that the Asian, Hispanic and white female faces found most attractive were those that had "neonate large eyes, greater distance between eyes, and small noses"[41] and his study led him to conclude that "large eyes" were the most "effective" of the "neonate cues".[41] Cunningham also said that "shiny" hair may be indicative of "neonate vitality".[41]
