The Conventional Man and Woman

The Conventional Man and Woman [+ favourites]

I try to break away from restricting conventions, but it's difficult. The other day, I judged this one person to be "not that pretty" semi-consciously, then gave myself a mental jab. I compared her to the conventional woman (or the idealized woman) and was so disgusted that I still haven't been able to develop a broader sense of what's beautiful.

It could be that your perception of beauty may contain some or many aspects of the 'conventional' view. If this is the case then don't criticize yourself but if you are still not happy with it then continue seeking out new definitions of beauty

Don't "jab" yourself for something like that. You have the right to an opinion of someone's beauty just like you have the right to think that what someone is doing is right or wrong. The only real reason for physical attraction is sex. If someone doesn't find me attractive it doesnt hurt my feelings and i wouldnt want them to feel bad for thinking that. But i also know that if someone doesnt find me attractive i do tend to question why and think if i could change that without going against myself. Why would i do this after i said how it only matters for sex?? Well let me tell you that in my experience if someone wants to have sex with you they are usually nicer to you and more willing to hear what you have to say than someone they don't want to.
