even worse. what I mean is - the assumption here is that 2s would like (even if they don't know it) to be 1s, right? or at least that being a 1 is superior & thus that a 2 with some 1 experience is in "in the kingdom of the blind a one-eyed man is king" territory. what I'm saying is, the whole 1 thing is vastly unappealing to a lot of people who, if anything, think themselves superior for not buying into it. all this # business gets confusing rather quickly, another reason to chuck it I reckon...

Just quickly - no reason whatsoever, vaguely attractive and well presented girls still have masses of sexual power in almost all situations anyway. The fugly thing was a massive exaggeration/generalisation and of course it depends what floats your boat. English 'Path 2' girls don't really do it for me, nor posh girls really. Maybe that will change. I think it's certainly true to say that a lot of the Path 2 girls will elope with Path 1 guys (particularly those with a bit of savvy in the other dimension) in addition to Path 2 guys.

I guess a fair amount of type 2s are frustrated type 1s or, even if they're not, may still be secretly fascinated by what lies on the other side. Similarly, type 1s may feel empowered by urbane type 1s with type 2 tendencies, who can help them navigate the exotic subcultural nooks and crannies in which the type 2s are seen to dwell.

I think most people are secretly, or not secretly, fascinated with "what lies on the other side", whatever they perceive that to be, even (& perhaps especially) if they fear or despise it. you know, simultaneous attraction to/revulsion of the Other & so on. & I dunno man this business about types - look sure there's subcultures & cultural signifiers & how you live your life & so on - but really it only matters as much as you buy into it. I dunno if you've ever devoted your whole life to a subculture & then once you stepped out it of it all seemed like the most trivial, worthless shite?

Darned cockwombles.
is anyone else never going to have sex again after reading this thread?
"above all else, the single most seductive quality is intelligence" - marquis de sade
marlon brando used to just walk by tables at his hotel bar and put down his room key with a note saying like "2:15 AM", in front of women he fancied, without saying a word. i wonder if he even bothered to make eye contact.
to me the gray area is very big. even drawing a line at objectification is difficult as when it comes to sex everyone objectifies.
but it's a social reality isn't it? created by the same mega convoluted self-image-desire fabrication machine which also created eating disorders; the same system which makes sex/intimacy an artificially rare commodity.
so increasingly your critique, which is valid, a lot of which i personally agree with, seems entirely subjective and arbitrary, and the moral high ground more and more shaky.
