I’m not sure that applies to The Comedian, but then I’m not particularly attracted to guys, and some people find some weird looks downright hot.
… Though I still hate how right you are. Looks or power. People respect them when they should NEVER respect looks or power. Ever. Sure, many good looking people are respectable, but not because of looks. It’s NEVER looks or simply having power (or money) that makes someone respectable.
Heck, maybe the problem is people conflate “like” with “respect”, like I did above. Or maybe the problem is those words aren’t so different in practice…
