What’s your ‘type’ and how do you express yourself?

Quizzical Pussy posted this excellent entry where she calls out Erik Holland who is something of a troll. Yes on his website (which I won’t honor with a direct link here) he does start to make some solid points about skeletal structure body types and generalizations of masculine and feminine forms. And then he goes way overboard with it. I liken it much to how Sigmund Freud made some excellent and even ground breaking realizations about how the human brain works. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand then he went and said that we all want to fuck our parents. Sig. Can I call you Sig? How long have you felt this way?

I find it interesting and outright weird that body types can be fashionable. From the well-fed women in the frescoes of the Renaissance to Twiggy and beyond, nobody can deny the fact that these things run in trends. I find it far easier to accept that different people like different things. I like flat-chested women. I always have. In junior high when the other thirteen-year-old boys discovered BEWBIES I was simply unimpressed. My eyes were drawn to the girls that had hips and shapely legs. I’ve actually gotten confessions from other men with the same tastes in women. Anything more than a mouthful is a waste after all.

However I have to come to the conclusion that thirteen-year-old me was seeing the same thing as those other boys although through different features – the likelihood of healthy reproduction. On a reptilian level they saw the breasts as a sign that those girls would be able to feed the babies. On the same level I saw the hips for their birthing capabilities and the legs as a survival tool. Since we live in an organized civilization instead of the wild these attractions are not only vestigial they have been reduced to pure aesthetics. I know full well that a flat-chested woman can breast feed perfectly well and she won’t have to fight those things all her life. The other boys? Maybe they never bothered to look down any further than chest level because of the obsession. I really have no idea there.

One way or another as I put it to a work associate once, that’s why God makes them in all sizes and shapes. If everyone looked the same it would be so boring. Honestly I think that very neatly explains racial fetishes. Often we are naturally drawn to what we perceive as exotic. My exotic may be very different than the next guy’s exotic. From that standpoint alone how terrible would it be if everyone looked alike! How does all this relate to Holland and his website? Deep down inside I think he just wants to fuck his own mom. :P

  1. Yes indeed, everyone likes something different, but somehow we are still stuck with “what men like” or “what women like”. Despite how often it’s proved inaccurate, it won’t die. Myself, I have more than one type; for example I like bigger breasts and hips on heavier women and smaller, flatter breasts with narrow hips on thinner women.

  2. Good observations!

    Perhaps I am completely different than most, but my interests were always centered 6 inches behind the eyes. I never based my interest on looks or bodies. Those fade with time. That is a law of nature unfortunately. Remember, the tattoo of a hummingbird that you get on your breast at 16 will eventually become a pterodactyl when you are 70. But the brain BEHIND the eyes continues to grow throughout the life. THAT is the true center of compatibility. If you’re beautiful and dumb as a box of rocks, your mate or significant other will eventually tire of you. If you’re brainy, regardless of looks, you will eventually attract someone that stays with you because you can think for yourself.

    THAT is what is really sexy!

    Great points Dan.

    Of course I’m speaking strictly of physical attraction in this entry. I can’t stand empty vapid women no matter how hot they are. This is exactly why I like to see Scarlett Johansson on screen but I really wouldn’t ever want to be in the same room as her. Have you ever seen her interviewed? It makes my head hurt!

    I would have gladly compromised my tastes in physical features for the right brain in a mate. Thank God I didn’t have to! As we’ve aged together she’s only gotten more beautiful too. I’m pretty sure when she’s an old lady she’ll be a smoking hot old lady to me. And to hell with whatever anyone else thinks – am I right?
