I was thinking the other day about how the media and especially porn affects our perspectives on women.
I surmised that looking at pictures or videos of extremely attractive women, usually those with plastic surgery, hair extensions, and who knows what else, is affecting how I see women in real life. It makes sense to think that you compare reality with the image, and reality usually comes out short.
So I decided to abstain from all porn watching, or checking out pictures of hot non-porn celebrities on the web.
This has been going on for almost a couple of weeks now, and does seem to be having an effect. I was overly picky before, but now I am finding myself attracted to women I wasn't before. I'm not as obsessed with looks.
Of course, when I do come accross a picture of some hottie (d'oh! sorry about the pun) the effect is startling. Watching full-blown Hollywood movies is dangerous... a trailer for that Jessica Alba flick "Into the Blue" almost killed me.
I highly advise trying this out for any of you who find yourself overly picky.
