Yeah seriously. Even if your goal is peak beauty,(I’ll try anything once) and you think there’s only one static eternal standard that matters(insane) part of how you achieve that is contrast with ugliness, both static and dynamic.
I’ll say this referencing a German, so these people can understand. To paraphrase hegel: ‘everything exists in a context, it cannot exist without context, and if it could, that would basically be god. Which doesn’t look like a hot lady, because ‘looking’ like things is the product of reflected light or touch and this hypothetical thing does not have context’
Well yeah it’s how these people wind up with ratcheting expectations. Hot as fuck in rural nowhere is fine in a major city and probably ugly in LA. And if most of the women you see are models who’ve been airbrushed and are in the most male gazey presentations suddenly a gorgeous woman who looks somewhat realistic becomes extremely ugly in your eyes. It’s a critical deficiency of grass touching.

All true and worth saying, but its also a misunderstanding of how beauty and meaning are constructed.
