That nose ring really doesn't help her look better. She'd be a lot cuter if she took it off.

If you think about it, you might lean towards thinking that FAS girls are cute precisely because we drink alcohol

[Anonymous No.10740432]

Women have so much more maneuverability to what constitutes a 'cute' face. Facial features that would look atrocious on men can look cute on women. Women can easily get away with a round face, a wide face, a negative canthal tilt, even recessed chins. All women need to do is remain neotenous.

The lookism fags are unironically right. Women are attracted to many different sub-types of men, but all these different types of men, no matter how their style and grooming are different, have the same basic attractive facial features like a positive canthal tilt, a non-recessed maxilla, facial symmetry, short midface, lateral orbital rims, etc.

That makes absolutely zero sense as an evolutionary trait even if you only focus on sexual selection

I finished reading Annihilation by Vandermeer and also finished Schulz's Street of Crocodiles and I'll save Sanatorium Under The Sign Of The Hourglass tomorrow. Also read two chapters 37 to 40 of Mason and Dixon.

Currently finishing Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door.

It's not always like this. Sometimes I go by days without reading. I guess today's just good.

this is fascinating tbqh. I just looked up all these things, and yeah they absolutely are all attractive things that I was aware of but didn't know what they came from. Well apart from the recessed maxilla, that,s just a weak chin

Every time time I sat down to read so far I have been distracted, either a noise, needing to shit, needing water or food, and just now being asked to do something and of course the penultimate distraction of the internet.

I've been chipping away at Ulysses. I'm 112 pages in and starting to get into the flow of things. I started to find the pleasure of reading it when Bloom shows up. I kind of love how much his mind strays. It's hilarious how his mind kept foing back to this ginger ale brand is advertised as Aromatic.

I've been reading Tale of the Heike. Like an 800 page book (with huge pages) and about halfway through I decided it doesn't interest me but I finish when I get that far into a book. Lack of interest keeps me at like 30-40 pages a day though
