Forgot how pretty Buffy is....

I am allowed a preference. I dislike when people look like they dont eat. I dont find it attractive. Yes, tragically TV and film is all about disordered body image and abnormal eating. I dont think it is bigoted to say i prefer when people look healthy.

I did not shame anyone, fat or thin. But i am not ashamed to say i dislike seeing unhealthiness.

Honestly, "pretty" is more of a judgement. It is a factual statement some people on the show were almost clincially too thin. Particularly when you know cameras add pounds.

Pretty is 100% a social construct. It is entirely a JUDGMENT of women by an arbitrary standard. One a lot of categories of women are excluded from because of scietal judgments about race, gender presentation, class, and ethnic appearance, not to mention things like weight or even skin markings and how their hair looks. Nose too big? Lips too thin?

But everyone does have a preference. And you asked us our judgments (and indirectly our preferences) And you did not specify that their shapes could not be considered. Next time please state your legal criteria!

If you open up the beauty pandoras box, all sorts of things will show up. It is the nature of such discussions.

Please note i mostly had opinions about the characters. I found some characters unattractive due to pesonality.

Also, if you are including Oz in pretty women, you have already set the criteria as wide open. Last i looked, both the character Oz and the actor Seth Green are male identifying.

You are totally welcome to consider anyone in any category, but if you do, please expect others to follow your lead and do whatever appeals to them.

100% but this isn't talks about someone's body out of genuine concern. Otherwise comments about women's bodys are unnecessary. You are free to say who you find attractive but don't say who you don't find attractive and why.

Someone being thin does not mean they are unhealthy, women's bodys fluctuate a lot.

Someone's 'shape' can be considered but I fear its implied that you shouldn't speak negatively about someone's 'shape'.

I put Oz up there as a joke, he's obviously not a women.

You take things too literally instead of considering the fact that you shouldn't be saying a women is too 'thin'.

A better way to word it would've been; 'I like Eliza because she's curvy'

Instead of...: "I don't like SMG because she's 'too thin', I do like Eliza because she's curvy'.

You do not have to talk negatively about another women to bring one up!

What's sad is SMG talks about having body issues. Female celebs deal with this BS too often.

This isn't 'criteria' it's just basic respect.

Given that some remark on who is the most attractive overall, including with personality in the mix, I thought I'd add in Jenny and Olivia. If I were to date any women from the show it would be one of those two.

I think Jenny and I could relate a lot to each other. We're both from large extended families who forged a life in California outside of that (and one that the larger family doesn't wholly agree with) and we both have similar humor. I used to mix with plenty of pagans, some of them online and a few did call themselves technopagans, and to this day I have a handful of people I sometimes interact with via email who I consider experts on various subjects, or at least worth listening to. Basically, we had enough similarities to relate but enough differences to still be interesting.

That said, I appreciate them both with Giles. I wouldn't actually want to get in the way of that. I'm just saying if I were to run into them then it would be possible, we'd become more than friends (assuming they were okay with dating a woman). I don't think I'd feel that way about the rest (which is nothing against them and I like them a lot).
