Where do you stand on this debate?

hate it when ***s pick the worst pic they can find to prove their point

and i swear all the "you guys are so gay" comments better be ridiculously unfunny jokes, because if anyone's remotely serious you're like the stereotypical immature ******* people that i make it my life's goal to never confer with

 

[The Greater Leon]

google doesnt have any good pics of him, that was the first one btw

he's not ****ugly, but he's certainly not cool looking. a strong jaw doesn't go well with those fatty lips. to me he just looks goofy.

 

[SuperRad]

I think we should ask some FEMALES and get their responses

Personally I would expect girls to say his most attractive feature is that he's funny, I don't think that his looks are a huge draw [not that he isn't a fairly good lookin guy].

 

[pockyD]

i always thought jermaine was a black name

 

[Kira-]

LMFAO HAHAHAH

I suppose extragrandeben has the final say on these things

I think we should ask some FEMALES and get their responses

indeed

edit - i hope you don't actually think you're so right because of this, but im pretty sure you're better than that

chicks love sideburns

 

[RelaxImAProfessional]

p, I watch every episode of flight of the concords. me and a friend also cover most beautiful girl in the room because that song *****. but anyway, its funny, some girls think hes not special, and the rest think hes hot as ****. and even though at first i thought bret was better looking, it turns out most people find jermaine better looking then bret.

this was actually a big discussion we used to have back amongst my friends in nyc specifically about if jermaine was good looking or not lolol.

 

[EdreesesPieces]

Girls think he's hot because of his humor and musical talents, not because of his looks, don't confuse it. I LOVE flight of the conchords!!

 

[Egoclapper]

edit - i hope you don't actually think you're so right because of this, but im pretty sure you're better than that

well i'm not trying to be a pompous douche, but it's not really a matter of opinion -- i KNOW i'm right. why? because it's science. masculine features indicate more testosterone, which indicates better genes and a better mate. therefore they are found more attractive by the opposite sex.

this wasn't ben saying this though, this was his friend kyle. and as we discussed later in the convo, it's a very black and white thing -- chicks won't say, "oh, he's cute." it'll be he's either hot as **** or he's not their type.

i can probably find the link for you if you're really that curious.

**** yes

 

[Kouryuu]

The thing is... Jemaine is "****-able." Girls are attracted to certain kinds of men for certain reasons. They prefer masculinity if they're looking for a good **** but not so much when it comes to meaningful relationships. That's almost always been the case (with a few exceptions obv).

Jermain is ****able because he has some good masculine features but he's mediocre at that (also because he isn't really good looking...).

 

[Egoclapper]

You kind of contradict your own post, since if they chose a more masculine (which for all intents and purposes is synonymous with attractiveness) man when they're looking for a short-term relationship, then that means they're picking their mate based on raw attractiveness. So therefore they're obviously good looking; ergo, Jemaine (yes, apparently this ***** doesn't spell his name with an 'r' in it) is good-looking.

And Edrees, this has nothing to do with personality traits. This logic applies to any random chick, the vast majority of whom certainly do not know he's in a band and is funny.

I'm trying to find the Psychology Today article but apparently I didn't bookmark it, which is dumb because I bookmark every half-interesting article from them. I (re)read it pretty recently so hmm, hopefully I can find it.

edit: As a side note, I came across this gem:

Which is incidentally the best article I've ever read in my life, and the major reason why I am so scornful of people.

 

[RelaxImAProfessional]

who's talking about serious relationships?? lol

based off visuals only, jemaine is incredibly attractive.

trust me

There is a lot of Neighborhood Peedom in this article.

 

[Kouryuu]

What I'm saying is, he definitely wont be a chicks first choice if she's looking for a good ****.

Jemaine has some decent/good masculine qualities going for him but nothing exceptional or out of the ordinary. He definitely isn't "incredibly attractive." He's decent at best.

Anyway, I'll read that article tomorrow (or the next day rather). I need to go to sleep for tomorrow -_-

 

[Egoclapper]

This isn't the exact article, but I found something fairly close that helps prove my point:

Ask five people what they find attractive, and you'll get a lesson in human variability: girls with ears that stick out; guys with soulful eyes.

But ask 5,000 people and clear patterns emerge. Some traits have universal sex appeal because they're markers of good genes, health, and fertility: a fit body, clear skin, a symmetrical face with average-sized and -shaped features, and traits that mark sex hormones: Angelina Jolie's big lips indicate high estrogen, while George Clooney's square jaw signals he's got testosterone to burn. Women swoon over men with "adult" faces—marked by strong chin and nose—while men like women who look childlike, with smooth skin, small noses, and high cheekbones.

And everything you fear about height and weight is true: A woman's desirability in a speed dating situation is determined largely by her thinness, while each extra inch of height gives men a 5 percent edge in the number of women interested in dating him.

But we tend to wind up with people of similar stature and girth—meaning short men end up with even shorter women, and people choose partners with similar builds. After all, a warm glance from a charmer who's within size range is infinitely more alluring than a runway model's cold shoulder.

Jemaine has all of these things.

Here's a decent picture of him for reference:

 

[Kouryuu]

There are plenty of guys with similar features but that doesn't mean that they are all equally attractive. Like how some men have nicer bodies than others.

Also, as far as that pic goes... he has a big head with a ridiculously wide jaw. His face is definitely not symmetrical. Honestly, he just looks like a gorilla >_<

 

[Egoclapper]

I didn't know we were judging him off of whether he met the requirements for your gay fantasies.

Once again, you fail to contemplate and admit to the very real possibility you're wrong. It must be a hard life, you know, always being correct while overlooking stuff like evolution, logic and fact as those things, obviously pale in comparison to the vast spectrum of knowledge you possess.

Anyway, that's the last attention I'll give you, since you're obviously more interested in puffing your chest out and being "right" rather than having a level-headed discussion.

 

[Kouryuu]

Uhhh... you post saying he has all "these" qualities and give us a pic for reference. Using that pic, I just pointed out how he doesn't have all those qualities you claim he has.

I'm just saying that he isn't "extremely attractive" like you make him out to be. Now that I think about it, he ain't attractive for ****.

I find it strange that this article makes you or anyone scornful of people. It was a GREAT read, and it makes a whole lot of sense and answered a lot of things that I had already suspected about the nature of love and marriage.

If anything, it's more uplifting than condemning of people and relationships.

I liked it.

It makes me scornful because this should be basic common ****ing sense that very few people actually incorporate in their lives. It puzzles me and makes me skeptical of society. Americans r dum

The part where other therapists are like, "This is such a revolutionary concept" and etc. is particularly amusing

 

[Kira-]

Some things are obvious in concept, but difficult in practice.

But yeah, americans are dumb

 

[Egoclapper]

this isn't one of those things

 

[Kira-]

it's extremely difficult in practice
if you do it already give yourself some credit, not many people can pull it off

 

[Egoclapper]

well if you want to be happy, you can't just be a lazy dumb **** and sit around with your thumb in your *** and then wonder why you're not satisfied with your life

it always takes some work at the start, but then once it's incorporated into a standard part of your life, it's just as easy as anything else you do that's a necessity, like getting up for work every morning even when it's the last thing you want to do (and, in turn, going to bed on time to ensure you can do that)

humans adjust to anything within 30 days. people are just lazy

 

[LooksLikePit]

Guess what overrides sex appeal? Money.

Money=more stuff=more desirable to human ego

you know as well as I do that people are controlled by their egos.

 

[DanteFox]

don't you mean female ego?

 

[LooksLikePit]

I was considering saying that, but ego as a whole always wants more things.

Yes, even you are not above ego.

 

[Lovage]

lol i remember when i was 14 and thought i knew stuff

I'm 15. Get it right
