I dont necessarily agree completely with you, but I just have to say that after getting so fucking sick of all this cultural appropriation bullshit I find your attitude immensly refreshing.

Not me. Y'all nailed it.

Not hyperbole: the producer should be executed for his crimes against Aretha. I mean that, OFF WITH HIS HEAD.

Is her voice really that amazing? The only time I've heard her sing was in the episode and it was very much the opposite of impressive. Maybe she was nervous or something, but I thought the guy she sang with on the second tune (we'll call him "Hair Trashcan") majorly stole the show.

Yes — also, there's so much production on it. You can tell when there's been too much pitch correction because the vocals sound artificial. The arranger also didn't let the song build. All in all, Adele's version is still better.

I'm going to try my best to bring it back. Plus, you just need to stank it up a bit when you say it and it becomes a really harsh insult.

Maybe Drake and Amber Rose are meant to be together, as evidenced by the confluence of events - her break up and his prayer hands tattoo. Drake is praying for love.

Ah! the "you're just jealous" defense. One of the top three bullshit defenses, along with "we're not bothering anyone" and "we're just having fun".

The unclear, undefinable metrics leave us even worse off. There is not one equality-minded straight man for every equality-minded straight woman. There is not one relationship-minded straight man for every relationship-minded straight woman. Also I know about two couples where the man is more conventionally attractive…

I hate to be a snarktopus on a well done article like this, but... If Jezebel can deny that it is an explicitly feminist site (esp. When they use it as an excuse to do patently unfeminist things), then what right does this site have to bust others for doing the same??

there are so may different ways to discuss this subject and its new visibility and appreciation in the mainstream without acting like it's a novelty.

Yes....Aaaalllllllmost. *twirls mustache*

The Cosmo method.

Make it work!

I'm 19, so I'm "still attractive" but now I'm scared 8/ lol guess this just gives me a few years to plan what I'm going to do when my boyfriend no longer finds me attractive.

(sometimes I let my phone die completely and don't charge if for like... a day, or more!)

For sure. I find Zac Efron to be so attractive it hurts, but I look at someone like Clive Owen and I'm like LET'S GET MARRIED AND LET ME HAVE YOUR BABIES. I would never prefer to date a 26 year old over a guy in his mid-30's and older, but I will look at photos of attractive men in their 20's and appreciate the hell…

Right - the graphs are just about attractiveness. It's not news that youth widely regarded as attractive - shoot, I'd trade my 40yo body for my 20yo one in a heartbeat. Someone posted these graphs on GT a couple days ago, and these were my thoughts (rather than typing them out again):

I think this misses the distinction between finding someone attractive and actually wanting to fuck and/or date them. I'm sure most men find 20 year old women attractive, because they ARE attractive. When I'm browsing potential dates online, I often click on attractive guys and think "Wow, he's hot." Sometimes I…

Having one's shit together financially is so different from the sheer materialism shown by this asshole. Materialism, alpha-male shit, bragging. Such a turn off.
