Thread: Attractiveness: The Beauty Standard In Roleplaying

Let's not assume there all members here approach RPing with the same mentalityintentions. Some of us like to write stories with the possibility of erotic scenes being open, while others are here with the sole purpose of writing erotic scenes, or to simply cyber-fuck. For the latter, it makes sense that they'd be interested in more attractive-looking characters than mundane faces we see every day. Of those who appreciate a good story, you have some people with little imagination, others who have the 'why go for a 7 when you can go for a 10' mentality, and others who like to embody their characters, to build them as realistically as possible, and end up applying their own standards of attraction when choosing their partner's face claims. Those last ones may not necessarily gravitate towards that same 'look' that appeals to everyone, but they are still applying their own high standard of attraction. In my older request thread, I had a sizable list of face claims I was willing to use and offered to let my partners choose the ones they liked the most. It had girls from every race I could think of, every body type and hair color. Blonde and blue-eyes may not be the dominant norm, but 'high beauty standards' are very common here. Its why I never had the chance to use Parminder Nagra or Cristin Milioti but always receive requests to use Natalie Dormer or Victoria Justice. Its not that is matters to me, honestly. I tend to use face claims in the first post then completely forget about them. As for my partner's face claim, I rarely have any preferences. I don't really demand a face claim I find attractive, and my opinion on the matter is rarely ever asked of me. Out of all the stories I've had here, I think only one or two were opposite to attractive guysgirls. 1 If you think there's a beauty standard in roleplaying, what do you think it is? For men and women? Where do you think it came from? Do you think it's a reflection of the beauty ideals we have in real life? Well, I'm positive that every culture has its own beauty standards. Some cultures, for an example, celebrates thin lips, black hair and black eyes. There are cultures that like small breasts, eras where 'thick' women were the epitome of sexiness, and places were legs are more appealing than butts. I'm sure there was a time in Japan when people used to blacken their teeth, and I read about several places that are more attracted to tanned than fair skin. Globalization fucked that up. With movies and the internet programming people to find the same things attractive. This is why you have women dying their hair blonde all over the world, and why a lot of Asian women are wanting to look more 'American' . I think people still have their individual standards of attraction, but we're all being, and I use this for the lack a better term, 'programmed' to appreciate the same look that's being repetitively shown in movies and shows. 2 Why do you think other physical preferences are seen as fetishes? Do you think the fetish label is a deterrent for being vocal about those physical preferences i.e., I don't want to be seen as someone who's into that fetish? There is always a term when people deviate from the norm. I personally don't think its a fetish unless you're exclusively attracted to that certain feature, and it should apply to you if you're exclusively attracted to white skin and blue eyes. From a logical point, to me at least, being attracted to black dicks isn't a fetish, but only being able to orgasm by listening to a vacuum cleaner is a fetish. 3 Beauty can be found everywhere what are some physical traits that you find attractive, either in real life or in roleplaying, that deviate from the beauty standard? What are some uncommon things you find attractive that aren't normally talked about under attractiveness? e.g., I find full, thick eyebrows on men very sexy. I also like playing a variety of races and ethnicity in roleplays, but a lot of people have responded with, I don't like race play, as if it's a strange concept seeing other races and people of mixed heritage in 21st century United States s. Race play is something else entirely, its not just writing opposite a black guy. Its just a racist, or at least non-PC, sexual scene. Often non-con. Thick eye brows are indeed sexy. I appreciate tanned skin and small lips. Most gravitate towards extra tall guys I don't mind guys that are my height. Dad bods are fine too. I like black hair and black eyes the most, but I don't mind other colors. Also, I don't like it when a face looks too perfect. I find small imperfections endearing. If they still manage to look hot with a crooked nose or a bald head, then they are really hot Other things I find attractive are pretty much in line with the norm.
