sometimes I get mad at Nick McCarthy

only-difference:

tetradoodles:

because I could not have designed a more proportionally ideal face myself. And I like drawing nicely proportioned Anglo-Saxon faces. 

See, I think the fundamental distinction between Nick and Alex’s attractiveness is that Nick is beautiful in a sort of ideal sense while Alex has got this odd, horselike face with big pouty fish-lips and, and under normal circumstances, you’d think how ugly, but somehow he carries himself in a way that kind of makes you forgive his proportional oddities and just pay attention to how smolderingly attractive his whole being is. 

This has been a post on the philosophy of Franz Ferdinand. I guess if I were to generalize what I just said, I’d say that as much as ideal beauty mattered to those fancy-pants ancient philosophers, sometimes the derpy-horseface guy with charisma coming out of every orifice is going to win more fangirls than the Greek-statue looking guy. 

THIS IS DEEP PHILOSOPHY SHIT, OKAY

Now we must discuss the relative importance of ass versus legs if both are of equal quality (as marked by z-scores on a bell curve; I suppose Nick’s ass is the same number of standard deviations above mean asses as are Alex’s legs above mean legs)

Look here now, I’m an arteest, not a statistician but

ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT THERE IS A SUCH THING AS CRITICAL LEG MASS, IN ADDITION TO CRITICAL BUTT MASS?
