Notice the contrast between the highest ideals of beauty between cultures displayed through their own animations. I agree with both within their own sphere. For the Indo-Aryan greater & more unique heredity is found in the smaller pupils, eyes more slanted, deeper sockets. For Orientals crazy big pupils, shallow sockets, rounder eyes, and I'm pretty sure of a significant width between eyes. Both have the most stricking effect with a look of greater sophistication. Its as if these mixtures of characteristics give proper expression to the archetype ideals of said race. Aryan then becomes extremely upright, dominant, enticing, a beauty of an intimidating nature, nurture through example. The Oriental then shows itself as cute, submissive, naturally alluring, nurture through intimacy. When they borrow eachothers archtype ideals, even though this is a much bigger concentration of their own normative characteristics, the beauty becomes less striking as the phenotype give no proper expression to intended genotype. A similar element of this dynamic can be recognized through the comparison of voices. Notice the difference between say Zhang Ziyi and Angelina Jolie, it truly lives up to and is in total symmetry with these visual ideals, together with said inherited personalities. All within these grand archetypes.
Good looking, yet mediocre, dull, unable to be considered truly beautifull. The archtypes have then swapped places, together with personality, a kind of asymmetry in essence.
Other than in anime, which I don't really consider as art have I yet to find anyone to really touch upon this Oriental beauty to my descriptions of it.
Though I did find the Aryan; through Godess Charmaine Olivia.
The Japanese went crazy for her, that brought on Western attention whom mostly agree. It's a great balance between the two archetype beauties, a perfect synchronization of contradictory unique characteristics typically indicative of conventional beauty. The archetype of archetypes.

I already told this to stuart, but I saw a documentory long ago talking about how sexually attractive looking people have a higher IQ, they are stronger, and healthier. This is a generalization. Not always the same. But, from somewhere, we got a mate picking instinct which was survival geared. It is an instinct.

Is that all that matters? Just the superficial appearance?
If you repeat the words often enough, like magical incantations, they might become true...and, then, even you might begin to believe in them, and not harbor a doubt...
"Appearances are superficial....appearances are superficial....they mean nothing..."
Repeat constantly...if possible find a choir to accompany you in the chant. It works.
No, appearances are not "all that matters" but when surrounded by idiots who deny their relevance, then it is one of the things that matters.

Avatars are images that for some reason you associate with yourself. I reckon that if the intention is to show a physical association, there is no substitute for the real thing. Unless what you are posting is an idealized image of yourself. It tells me "I look almost like that" or "I wish I looked like that". So why not use the real thing? Because it's not as good as the ideal.

A woman can wear pants, boots, cowboy hats... but can she wear a suit? A woman in a suit is improper, it's an affront to the good uses of society. What's a suit though... isn't it fabric to cover your skin with, like all other fabric? Is it a symbol? A symbol of a gentleman, of being a member of private group into which you are allowed only by merit of birth? Does it bother you if I wear a suit?

Got it. It tells me: "I don't want my appearance to potentially hinder and digress discourse." Similarly with forgoing an age reference. All the while, there's a placement of insecurities and deflection; a veneer of sorts. How appearance does matter.

So designating yourself male is a cover for what?

I agree with the first part. Image, ultimately, should not matter...what one says SHOULD.

What predetermines what someone says?
