So I really didn&#8217;t have any touchstones. I didn&#8217;t know what I wanted. I feel like I&#8217;m still figuring out what I want as I go along. And one thing I realize, more and more, that I want is realism.<\/p>\n<p>Not like, I don&#8217;t know, the art movement. But just&#8230; I&#8217;m realistic here. The person or persons I am eventually with are not going to have perfect builds. Not that I don&#8217;t think I couldn&#8217;t find someone who was a model, perfect bodybuilder, or something if I really wanted to. But that&#8217;s not what&#8217;s really important to me. I want someone, a someone I like. A person&#8217;s body is really more a nice afterthought, it&#8217;s what&#8217;s in their brain that counts.<\/p>\n<p>I like to think I have a nice brain. One people could like. I also know that I&#8217;m always going to be a little pudgy. A little soft in the middle. Whatever you want to say. Not like, fat, perse? But I&#8217;m never going to be thin and athletic either. And there&#8217;s a strong chance that my partner will be the same way.<\/p>\n<p>I found that once I took that into account, and I just kind of embraced it, that not only did I feel much more attractive, but I found images of people who similarly accepted their builds and are just going with it equally attractive. Being seductive is all a frame of mind, and if someone shows me that they are, well, it doesn&#8217;t matter that they don&#8217;t have a six pack of abs or whatever the fuck, you know?<\/p>\n<p>The internet lets you have basically any fantasy you want, and I love it for it. But at the same time, reality has its perks, because you can actually have that, you know?<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s&#8230; nice.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s very nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s talk about sexual attraction in a round-about, not as specific as I should be way.
