It's that Jenaphor's avatar scares me shitless, but otherwise I would chip in that discussion by saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.".

you could do what the vain rich people do and get botox and look like a manquin and a face lift. personally i think you shouldn't beauty isn't meant to last forever that's why flowers die so quickly

That was a baby picture, as coined by Juice. WMDs are now my preference.

The above quote is what I'm trying to understand Fluffywolf. What she's said in that quote, isn't that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". What it says to me is that she believes beauty = youth.

Actually it is. That's the beauty of the saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :D

It's just that your eyes and hers are not the same. ;)

I'll settle for this with the proviso of "eyes and brain functioning". :wink:

Hey, you can settle on whatever you want. I never intended to join this discussion in the first place out of fear of being blown to smithereens by that bazooka girl.

I’m seeing a J vs. P moment.

TG said rather enigmatically: “I’m getting older! I don’t like this!”

J interprets rather literally: “It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with looks or beauty, because older people can be beautiful. TG simply doesn’t like the fact that the years are passing. That’s all we can know, based on what she said.”

FP reads the high emotionality of the statement and interpolates: “TG is showing a lot of emotion. So she’s communicating that it’s about more than just the passage of the years. In most women, such high emotionality would likely mean that they see their looks fading a bit with age. So I’ll try to reassure her on the subject of looks--a little fading is a natual process.”

But J doesn’t like that kind of reasoning: J says, “You’re equating the passage of years with loss of beauty. TG didn’t say that. So I assume it’s a prejudice of yours that you’re inserting.”

FP responds: “Not quite. It’s just FP interpolation. We do that, and most often we’re right. If we’re wrong, then we prefer that the OP correct us, rather than get docked for PC points by onlookers. In other words it would be helpful if TG were to fill in the blanks by explaining just what exactly about the aging process is bugging her so much.”

[Note:] Naturally I’m doing what FPs do--I’m interpolating the thought processes of the participants and taking a stance based on my interpolation. Always risky, but that’s what FPs do. :)

Oh no. You should have quit while you were ahead.

but don't you worry! I'll visit your grave. :p

In comparison to you, I do.

:dry:





Wait... TG hasn't posted in here, has she, since the OP?
Hilarious. :) But at least we got some wonderful anti-aging tips and an unexpected tutorial in P vs J conflict.

I got my wall to hide behind. :peepwall:

Funny epitaph for you:

here Fineline crossed
his last line ever.
Layed down in front
of what he hid behind.

:D

Anyway I kid. Except about what I said to Jennifer. That was dead serious!

I think that's TG's role in life: To be just enigmatic enough to be a perfect catalyst.
