All I said was that Poser needed a decent figure as a base, and everyone descended on me with their ? opinions. People need to be able to share ideas and give input in this thread without having to feel defensive about those ideas.

You don't get to go "THIS THING YOU LOVE IS UGLY AND THAT'S A PROVEN FACT" and then complain that people argue with you about it. That's not how adulting works.

Completely disagree. Edsels were the cars of the future – an expectation they failed to meet. After being unveiled to the public, they were considered to be unattractive, overpriced, and overhyped. They failed. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder there is never the less a normal distribution curve where you can see what most people agree upon. Yes there are outliers.

An on line dating company did a study to show that men have a very high degree of agreement on what they consider attractive. If I dont think a woman is attractive, I can be pretty sure most other men will share my opinion. That's what the studies show. Google is your friend. There is a video online somewhere that shows a speed dating experiment where the men would go to the next table meeting one woman at a time. No conversation between them was allowed. Each individual recorded how attractive they thought their opposite was by means of a dial under the table. Once that round was complete, they repeated everything, but this time the couples would be able to converse normally. Now the power of personality was in play. The final results showed that the second round was a waste of time because the individuals had all based their judgments on looks alone. The men were attracted to the prettier women and the women were attracted to the taller men. The SAME men.

Although I didn't use the term 'absolute fact' and you could say it was my opinion, I can just point to science and say I'm almost certainly correct. It's in the genes. As far as love is concerned, well you can love dogs can't you.

But if you want more evidence, then consider how few want to render the figure. Go on DeviantArt and do a search for 'La Femme'. Me and one or two others. Says it all really. I understand there can be emotional issues involved and I stated I was going to receive push back. Don't care. My opinion is worth sharing.

This is the last I'll be replying to you on this - this entire post of yours is "yadda yadda" once you remember that YOU think she's ugly while others think she's beautiful.
