Quote From: rlanthierI suggest nothing. I merely state. It was an example For the most part, the disfigured don't get a lot of offers. The words I used were "decide to be attracted" not "cannot be attracted". It doesn't warrant a politically correct tirade about the disfigured.
If you happen to know any disfigured people and on the outside chance that you might not be attracted to them, then why don't you choose to be attracted to them.
My original response to your post including these questions: "Are you suggesting that no one heterosexual or homosexual) is attracted to someone who is disfigured? Or that it is harder to be attracted to someone who is not considered attractive by societal norms?"
See the "or" ... I think you missed that I was clarifying.
Although I must admit that I believe that some of what we find 'attractive' as individuals is driven by nurture not nature and societal standards - hence the difference we find when we look historically at the body image of women. Rubenesque women were the ideal at one time - as contrasted with the Twiggy or Kate Moss image that was so popular ....
Wow - it never would occur to me that someone would characterize me response to you as a 'tirade'. As far as being 'politically correct' ... I think the only one who has directed that at me before was my husband - when I was expressing my disgust at my brother-in-law's labeling of some others using very derisive terms -( which I found antithetical to his walk with the Lord. )
