45. Bad supposition

Try again.

The original post mentioned the superficiality. I was agreeing with that term. There is something fundamentally superficial about photographing someone to look like they don't look. Even more so to make them temporarily appear to be some approximation of a false "ideal".

She's a good looking woman in her own right. It seems horribly supeficial to make her appear "differently" merely to conform to some ideal of what she "should" look like.

As far as your suppositions. The reason that scientists do double blind studies is because it is very easy to find what you're looking for, even when it's not there.

Your suppositions, and your supposed "better views" give us more insight into you, and what you are looking for, than anything about me.
