Well yeah it’s how these people wind up with ratcheting expectations. Hot as fuck in rural nowhere is fine in a major city and probably ugly in LA. And if most of the women you see are models who’ve been airbrushed and are in the most male gazey presentations suddenly a gorgeous woman who looks somewhat realistic becomes extremely ugly in your eyes. It’s a critical deficiency of grass touching.

All true and worth saying, but its also a misunderstanding of how beauty and meaning are constructed.
