“A lot of guys are very intimidated by an attractive woman, and they dehumanise her because our culture perceives beautiful women as commodities. But I think if you're able walk up to a person and get to know them, and you see their flaws and their impurities, and realise that they're like you, then you can humanise them again.” IfsThinkingKnowsPersonsAbleBeautifulGuyCultureWalksLike YouPerceiveAttractiveFlawsRealisingCommodityBeautiful WomenIntimidatedImpurityAttractive Woman Author:Neil Strauss
“It's not racism per se but the tyranny of normalcy - no: the tyranny of attractive normalcy. Which leads to loveable white models who are supposed to be playing ordinary, adorably flawed professionals just like you and me with their brilliant minority friends (with vastly less camera time) who are surgeons. But it's not just ethnicity. That narrow vision also extends to, say, things like women leads. Women leads have to be good-hearted and nice, with a Slutty Best Friend. The main character can't be slutty.

“What makes you attractive is being yourself, being natural, being unaware. Even though makeup is important, you should do it all, and then forget about it. You don't want to look like anyone else, any more than you want to be anyone else. You want to look like you. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery - but it's flattering to someone else. Not to you.” WantShouldLooksMayImportantFormNaturalForgetLike YouAttractiveBeing YourselfMakeupImitationFlatteryFlatteringBeing Natural Author:Diane von Furstenberg
