Maybe your kids will be lucky and take after him. |
| Better food, more holidays. |
| Another nice thing about these marriages is the kids end up speaking 2 languages, like mine. |
Sure you are.
But I will readily admit H is aging SO much better than me. Mid 40s, has never worn sunscreen, zero lines or spots, and just as baby faced as he was 20 years ago. Meanwhile I need Botox 4 times a year just to look my age. So unfair. And now insert the humblebrag. Your first post told me all I need to know about you. You needed to put down "pasty" men to feel better about who you are. If you truly did feel good about yourself, you would not have tried to step on a people who look a certain way. Never been to Applebee? Okay. TGI Fridays it is. Same idea, and same fit to the barstool(s). |
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20301855/ "Why are mixed-race people perceived as more attractive? Michael B Lewis 1 Affiliations expand PMID: 20301855 DOI: 10.1068/p6626 Abstract Previous, small scale, studies have suggested that people of mixed race are perceived as being more attractive than non-mixed-race people. Here, it is suggested that the reason for this is the genetic process of heterosis or hybrid vigour (ie cross-bred offspring have greater genetic fitness than pure-bred offspring). A random sample of 1205 black, white, and mixed-race faces was collected. These faces were then rated for their perceived attractiveness. There was a small but highly significant effect, with mixed-race faces, on average, being perceived as more attractive. This result is seen as a perceptual demonstration of heterosis in humans-a biological process that may have implications far beyond just attractiveness." |
| There is more to mixed race than just black and white, browns exist. |

AMEN. |
| Aging is harder on women of all races, specially after menopause. On average men are less good looking and with age society expects even less from men in looks department. |
| Yup. Women are held to different standards. |
Nah, I don’t do TGIF. I don’t like bar food, just makes me bloated. I don’t get why you’re so upset. Women are put down for their looks here nonstop. Almost every thread has some incel asking “well did you get fat?” or making some comment on how women age more poorly than men. Also very weird how white guys get insecure when a white woman isn’t attracted to them. If you felt good about yourself, you wouldn’t care what some middle aged woman online thinks of your receding hairline or pale legs. The question was what are the benefits, and a big benefit for me is sleeping with someone I’m wildly attracted to, rather than having a dead bedroom with a guy I wasn’t into but married because he was “a good guy” or whatever BS women are fed about not prioritizing a man’s looks. |
| Looks are overrated (for both genders) when it comes to long term relationships. |
Nothing wrong with liking Asian women. I’m white and currently with a white woman but have dated Asian women in the past and it really is true how amazing their skin tends to be. Very clear and smooth and they age well. Same goes for Asian men. |
Poster, you made the following post up-thread:
First, this post is racist in and of itself. You do not seem smart enough to pick this up without help. Here is some. Replace the words "pasty white" with something that would be insulting to your husband. Racism is still racism when a person of one race makes comments that demean another. Look at your words when you link gross and white and know you could have said you prefer brown skin to white skin without implying it is gross to be white. Try to do better.
I called you out for your racist post (as noted above). Your poor choice of wording has nothing to do with anyone finding you attractive. However, your posts show your need to be perceived as attractive (tell us again how you are a size 2.) I am disappointed you would be a hypocrite by putting down people while complaining that you (as a woman) are put down. |
