Absolutely astounding hair game btw

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Except for that one dude in the back

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

I assume that’s a monk

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I wonder if they find each other attractive looking like that. Brutally honest question, perhaps. I apologize.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

What, the wild hair? I dig it.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

It's probably a sheep's wool hat

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Do people find you attractive looking like that?

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

That's kind of my point. I don't think they would, lol.

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm just yanking your chain, I'm sure you're plenty handsome/beautiful

[-] WHARRGARBL@kbin.social 8 points 4 months ago

And here I was, zooming in and seeing stunningly beautiful faces before checking comments.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

They're beautiful in some sense, but growing up in the society I have, I don't find them "attractive" in that sense, if you know what I mean.

But I assume they must find each other attractive since they exist (someone made them, wink wink). I just think it's cool that it can be so different.

I find that attraction evolves with age, and it becomes easier to see imperfection, differences, and/or signs of age as erotic. There is the eroticism of youth that we all seem to come by naturally, and then there is the eroticism of experience, that is an acquired, but powerful, taste.

Straight facts on god kids.

[-] Hotspur@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

I mean I hear ya, but most of those folks look pretty old. A lot of cultures have elder traditions that don’t exactly include looking hot. No idea, but given how old the photo is, might be they’re important village elders, or people like priests/spiritual leaders, and they’re wearing ceremonial stuff also.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

You're probably right!

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

I mean attraction is very complex. Beauty standards change through the ages, so while it can be jarring to look at a old photograph, particularly one from a (presumably) very different culture to your own, it’s important to remember the amount of space and time that you are looking through.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That's what I'm saying, kind of. Like, if the young people looked like this too, it wouldn't have prevented the opposite sex from finding them attractive, since breeding kept happening.

Front row center is a stone cold fox. Just to the left of them - that grin? That's game. And the person just behind and between them has such a kind face, I bet they'd be a generous lover.
