At this point I am convinced that millennial women simply want to die alone.

They probably don’t want to end up with people who say weird stuff like this?

I mean, I’m fine with it? There’s nothing wrong with being alone. There’s a lot wrong with being with a guy with a comment history like yours.

To be fair, as a real-life comparison, I wouldn’t be able to recognize most celebrities because they look so wildly different out of make-up. I suspect I have partial face blindness.

When Zoe Deschanel isn’t wearing bangs I literally can’t recognize her.

I think I might have this too, because I’m often attracted to people that others tell me are ugly. I also struggle to recognize someone if they alter something about their regular appearance (like not wearing a hat when they normally do, for example), unless I know them on a personal basis.

FWIW I can still tell the difference between a 8/10 and a 3/10 when it comes to attractiveness. But my scale seems different from others. I actually find people that are usually considered a 10/10 to be less beautiful than a solid 7. There is a threshold where a person becomes “too pretty”, and I’m repulsed by it.

This is more common than you might think. There’s a reason “the girl next door” is one of the most popular archetypes.

I can certainly relate. I do not have the traditional sense of what is beauty and what is not. I tend to also gravitate toward more natural beauty; i.e., little-to-no make-up, natural breast (even if they are small), normal fitting clothing, those damn filters on photos.

Not only is it a double standard (how would society look upon men who stuffed their pants), it doesn’t help with my inability to easily distinguish who you are out of a crowd of other people.

Implant technology has come so far that you wouldn’t recognize actual normal sized implants in people. It’s only the huge huge ones that stretch the skin to the limiit that you could point out. Even the material they use now feels very similar to actual breasts and have a similar shape than what they did a decade ago.

I’ve met a couple people who have modern ones and it’s crazy how good they are now a days.

I know I do, because I once didn’t recognize my own grandfather when I met him outside of the usual context of his home or a family gathering.

Maybe, but you would think he would at least have not recognized that the voice of the stepsister he thought was the real lady he danced with was a different voice even if he had face blindness.

Voice? Face? O-o-oh, right…

But just to imagine, as a joke…

Yes, to be fair I was over generalizing. Of course I can remember specific details like hair color, skin tone, etc. Voices and height are little iffy if they are in close proximity of each other. But general attitude of a person is a pretty big indicator as well.

I’ve seen some women (usually Asian) in videos who take off all their routine makeup and don’t just look like a different person, but like an entirely different ethnicity. it’s not always the obviously tiny difference between Clark Kent & Superman.

And Clark Kent and Superman have massive differences, not just the laughed at glasses thing. There’s things like changing his demeanor, the fact that Kent is several inches shorter because he both slouches and uses his super strength to compress his own spine with his back muscles, constantly slightly vibrates at super speed as Superman to soften his features, etc

He doesn’t even need to do all that. Christopher Reeves mastered two different demeanors and when he swaps between them it’s surreal. Clark disappears and you see Superman wearing glasses.

She should have stayed with her step mother then? I think she would have been happy with anyone who had the authority to get her out of that toxic place.
