Only Siths believe in Absolutes.
Came here to say this.
I'm pretty open when it comes to looks in a woman(ie I have low standards). As long as you're not fat, have a noticeable physical deformity(or moles, yuck!), and have a pretty face, I'm open to a relationship depending on your personality. That is, if a girl only meets the bare minimum of my low standards yet is a bitch I won't consider it. If she's barely passes but makes up for it with her personality, I'm cool with that. Likewise, if she's a 10/10, I can put up with some personality flaws as long as she's DTF most of the time.
Mayberry, I was hoping you could help me settle an argument between a friend and I.
My friend says that he believes people who say things like "I would never date X" - with x being any physical feature - are twats. Basically like "I would never date Asians" or "I would never date a girl taller than me."
He said that they are precluding the possibility of their soulmate being someone who has "x" when in reality there is no way to know if your soulmate has "x" quality or not. He said "PhilCam, what would you think if you heard a girl say, 'I would never date an amputee.' What would you think of that girl?"
My argument was that a person with "x" cannot be your soulmate if you're not attracted to "x" because attraction is an important part of any relationship. I said that someone's personal taste does not make them shallow or a "twat." I replied to his question with "I would never date an ugly women, am I twat?"
Can you help me settle this argument?
Did you quote the wrong post? That sounds like a whole list of absolutes to me.
If tastes are subjective then why can't the judgement "you're a twat" also be subjective?
In other words, if you're able to write off half the female population of the planet (Asians) as un-datable then your friend is well within his rights to think "that makes you a twat" (just as an example - not sure you actually said Asians are un-datable). The bit about not dating a taller woman I would consider not only twattish, but lame and beta as well. Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima are both 5'10". If I heard some 5'9" guy rattle on about how he has an irreconcilable problem with their height I'd think he was a supreme douche.
On the other hand, I'll bet your friend would give you a pass were you to say you would never date a trap because of one specific physical feature.
The argument is not settled.
Women with tats. My ex had tats and was a whore. All women with tats are now whores.
The argument is not about "someone's right."
Anyone can call anyone a twat for any reason. It was if you agree with him that doing this is enough fory ou to label someone a twat.
In your case, it clearly is so you agree with my friend, which is fine.
EDIT: To clarify, the argument is not whether he can call someone a twat. He can call anyone a twat for whatever reason he likes. That has nothing to do with the discussion. It is whether you believe him calling this imaginary person a twat is deserved or not.
:redface:
But yeah, I'm flexible as long as they make up for it in some other manner. Those were strong tendencies I happen to have.
Lol it's all good I agree with every one.
Although some moles are sexy.
