Tonight, I was told that a certain someone who is close to me and who, I think, is a handsome guy is “not attractive”.
We agreed on the facts that his personality is great and that he’s a great guy, but this girlfriend seemed to believe that he definitively is not attractive, not good-looking, not handsome…
And I heartily disagree.
Normally, I don’t mind disagreeing with people on this concept of attractiveness and all, but this one has really gotten to me.
When she first said it, I was actually a bit offended… I’d felt a shock like a slap to the face.
And I wasn’t sure if it was because I disagreed with her, or because it was about someone close and important to me…
Now, a while later, I am prone to think that it was mostly due to the fact that he is so important to me, and because I find him to be handsome, her comment seemed to be offensive, and also personal (to a degree).
It just reminded me that thoughts on handsomeness, attractiveness, even beauty are not necessarily universal or able to be defined, definitive… there is too much bias in every party involved…
And so, somehow, I feel better out of this…
A girlfriend of mine has signed me up on these dating apps (despite the fact that I actually dislike and distrust them), and nothing much has come of it, except for her constantly telling me that I need to be more open to more guys, so that I can find a guy to go on a date with me…
My feelings and thoughts on it, however, are merely stronger than they were before we started this app business: I will not settle for anything less than perfect for me…
It drives her nuts, but no, I will not go out with a guy to whom I am not attracted, despite how cute he may be; I will not date a guy with whom I can’t possible envision at least some bit of future together… – Yes, Michael Phelps is a great-looking guy, but I just don’t see it, so I wouldn’t seek out a date with him… If he asked me out, sure, I would consider it, but I’m not going to go after him myself…
(Joseph Gordon-Levitt on the other hand…. 😂 [You know, if they weren’t married, that is…])
Anyway, so the apps are being deleted on Tuesday, she said, when she goes on her vacation with the bf, so she only has another day and a half to make something happen from them, if she wants something to happen.
Personally, while it could be fun, I think I would be much more comfortable and rather relieved once the apps are gone… just saying.
Anyway… yeah…
