It’s not all about looks, folks
According to this physical attraction test, which I took today, I apparently seem to favour the physical features similar to the ones found in this type of woman:
[The image do no longer exist]
Although I have a girlfriend, whom I love very much, I couldn’t resist taking the test. It’s weird to see science creep up behind you and bite you in the butt. The report I got was actually very accurate. I was a bit sceptic when I tried it, and it is scary that statistics, biology and math - can reveal the truths behind some of our basic instincts. Anyway, it’s not all about looks, but interestingly enough, that was also pointed out to me in the test:
You are not one to judge people based on their looks. In fact, you’re genuinely drawn to women that others might dismiss. Maybe it’s because you don’t buy into society’s checklist for ‘mainstream’ attractiveness. Instead, you notice unique features like a cute nose, beautiful eyes, or a cute butt, that make some women special in your eyes. For you, attraction is about the total package.
… which reminds me of a Haruki Murakami-quote, from his book “South of the Border, West of the Sun”:
With a very few exceptions, typically beautiful women don’t turn me on. [...] I was always attracted not by some quantifiable, external beauty, but by something deep down, something absolute. Just as some people have a secret love for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts, I liked that certain undefinable something directed at me by members of the opposite sex. For want of a better word, call it magnetism.[...] When I [discover this special magnetism], I want to go up to the girl who radiates this aura and say, “Look, I picked it up. No one else gets it, but I do.”
Heh…

What the f…. Massimo. I hope your girlfriend slaps you for the “this is the woman I’m attracted to right now…”.
It’s the “right now” part she should slap you around for - as if it was a suspected passing feeling or something ;-)

Hehe. Actually, you’re right - but I’ve explained it to her: It is in context you know, and besides, I state that I love her very much, which I do… (^_^)
