There's no accounting for taste.

I find Julia Roberts reasonably attractive, but when I look at Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow, I think "These are supposed to be the world's most attractive women? Is this some kind of fucking joke?"

Meanwhile, Anna Kendrick keeps getting cast as "mid-looking girl next door" when I think she's one of the most beautiful people ever to exist.

And our culture is very confident that Taylor Swift is more attractive than Taylor Tomlinson. My eyes tell me the exact opposite.

    Emma Stone looks similar to 222.

    Moreover, these people are TV attractive. It all looks a bit too polished and goes at the cost of a certain cuteness. Meanwhile I find the girls I see when I go outside more attractive.

    I think that if you put all of them together, naked, in a hot tub, they'd be attractive.

    She was good in her day. Women always get a lot uglier after about age 25. She tried to use plastic surgery but went too far.

    Yeah, I don't know that I would have been kicking her out of the bed in the 80's, but I think it's fair to say she was "80's hot"? A funny time when hair had to be puffy and big mouths were popular.

    She was pretty. There were prettier women, but they weren't in Pretty Woman, so...

    I think also hollywood has not just had the hottest possible people as actors even if that might seem to make sense if they did for money making reasons. But actors, men and women, get jobs from a mix of nepotism and having unique or interesting faces. Of course the casting couch. Being great at acting plays a small roll but really acting is easy and there's plenty of good ones who can't get jobs.

    having unique or interesting faces

    Yeah, this, right here.

    I've watched plenty of B-movies where they just hire the most conventionally attractive people they can find. They always suck. Everyone looks so same-y that sometimes I can't even keep track of the characters.

    I was just watching that Netflix show "The I-land" the other day, and it suffers badly from this problem. Everyone's pretty, but no one stands out in any way.

    That's a fair point. There might be more market in someone who has an attractive body, a not unattractive face, but some features that make you say: "Oh, the guy with all the gums?" or "You mean the chick with the pointy nose?"

    Something that the human eye, even one who has trouble with faces, would instantly lock onto.

    She's very equine looking IMO.

    Post your favorite girl then. obviously Hollywood selections are biased, but get a lot of promotion so the truly attractive people are on social media as influencers.

    You have terrible taste. Total thot.

    Get out of the closet, Larry.

    Canbot's girlfriend is awesome.

    We can't all be gay like you.

    You got me there.
