1\. “But beauty....damn....does that imply sexual attraction in this context?”

I was being superficial for sure. I mean, didn’t Helen’s face launch a thousand ships? The smile (smirk?) of Mona Lisa—inspiring generations? It’s not just about sexual attraction. Surely, not all women are traditionally attractive. Especially these days. lol However, it seems that female, feminine beauty, historically, motivates male artistry and creation, well…arguably a lot of male domination. It can be argued (the well gets much deeper…) that a lot of what men have done has been for women. Why? I have no easy answer. Only musing at this point. To be clear, though, obviously, beauty is varied and vast. Men are incredibly beautiful too. If we’re going to use the premise I created, we’re talking about the gaze. The desire to look, to study, to know. The external appearance draws one in. Beckons the mind to consider the complexity and totality of the spirit inside. Men. I, personally, as a sapiosexual, don’t really “look” at people. Their appearances don’t affect or influence me. “Pretty privilege” has been studied though. The impact of attractiveness has been thoroughly studied and documented by reputable institutions and scholars. I won’t attempt to summarize their findings but they seem to be global, innate. At any rate, as a heterosexual woman, when I look at a man I desire, I see his eyes. The way they glow. I admire his bone structure like the David. I take notice of his fingers. His sinew. The blemishes “imperfections” that make him undeniably irresistible. I long to trace that little muscle. You know the one. 🤓 Men are art. Their existence, as with women, invite interpretation. And reverence.

2\. “Your original grammatical/structural usage of  "If,..."

Was the subjunctive mood being employed to imply ambiguity, or are you, in fact, an Asian female that might do something like that?”

Most of what I say, outside of providing clear anecdotal, narrative evidence is to be seen, I hope, as hypothetical. As such, let me be clear: Humans have inherent dignity. I could use people. But I don’t want to. I could manipulate people. But I don’t want to. I am, with most humans, simply a passive observer. Not a judge. Not a puppet master. In other words, no, I would never do anything of the sort. I have a strict moral code. I can’t really deviate from it. I’ve never really wanted to. People aren’t objects. Again, they’re art.

1+2=3

3\. I’m no Asian female. As a matter of fact, I often see myself theoretically, at least stereotypically, as the antithesis of an Asian female. Stereotypes are useful foundations but ultimately, incredibly offensive precisely because of the nuance they choose to overlook. Of course, I know that Asian women are women. Women are humans. I’m a human too and I try to understand my place in this world by comparing and contrasting myself with others. Perhaps that is flawed. Nevertheless, when I think about why white men seek out Asian women, I understand intellectually that this is probably a serious issue with them. But I take it somewhat personally. I am not 5,’ tiny, fitting in a man’s pocket. I am not quiet, demure, docile, “exotic,”undemanding, relentlessly kawaii. I am not an anime character. I am not a sex goddess. I am not a sage or doll. I am not a lot of things.

I suppose this post was to help me think about the intersection of stereotypes, predatory behaviors, sexual preferences, and burdensome attitudes. As always, I appreciate you and your intentional interaction with the content. It helps me to make sense of what is rather non-sensical.
