      I think humanity just gets bored and wants what isn’t immediately in front of us. We’re bored of muscly men and tiny women so we want some tiny men and muscly women now. Makes sense to me.

        There’s a reason the calf used to be seen as one of the most attractive parts of a person. Women wore long dresses and Men wore long pants.

          Alcohol disinhibits us, but I don’t think it reveals our true selves. Our inhibitions are an important and truthful part of who we are. There’s a real and important difference between someone who hits on women all the time and one who only ever tries it when he’s had a glass or two.

            I use the ‘In Vino Veritas’ phrase to remark on instances where a bit of disinhibition allows one to come to a correct conclusion by way of letting go of a bunch of bullshit performative social norms…

            … but yes, the flip side is that excess and addiction can absolutely warp a person, not ‘reveal’ them, and that your baseline inhibitions, to some extent, fundamentally are you, are your characteristics, your personality.

            And, people often say a lot of very objectively stupid bullshit when drunk as well.

            But but… a person is also to a good extent… a process, an evolving system, not a fully static thing.

            As to your example… a person who only hits on someone after a drink or two likely just has less self-confidence than a person who hits on other people often.

            But that does not mean that our … liquid courage needer… that they cannot gain self-confidence by other means, by maybe going to a bit of therapy and learning how to be reasonably proud of themselves, removing toxic, negging people from their life, engaging in self-affirming activities, reframing their view of themselves and their place or part in the world.

      Possible explanation: you love complicated diets, not talking to your partner for hours most days of the week and you simply adore clothes shopping without anything fitting because women aren’t allowed to have shoulders and lats.

        You mean the same demographic that is responsible for an explosion of Grindr activity at any and every major Republic public event?
