    I wonder if they find each other attractive looking like that. Brutally honest question, perhaps. I apologize.

        That’s kind of my point. I don’t think they would, lol.

      I mean I hear ya, but most of those folks look pretty old. A lot of cultures have elder traditions that don’t exactly include looking hot. No idea, but given how old the photo is, might be they’re important village elders, or people like priests/spiritual leaders, and they’re wearing ceremonial stuff also.

      And here I was, zooming in and seeing stunningly beautiful faces before checking comments.

        They’re beautiful in some sense, but growing up in the society I have, I don’t find them “attractive” in that sense, if you know what I mean.

        But I assume they must find each other attractive since they exist (someone made them, wink wink). I just think it’s cool that it can be so different.

          I find that attraction evolves with age, and it becomes easier to see imperfection, differences, and/or signs of age as erotic. There is the eroticism of youth that we all seem to come by naturally, and then there is the eroticism of experience, that is an acquired, but powerful, taste.

      I mean attraction is very complex. Beauty standards change through the ages, so while it can be jarring to look at a old photograph, particularly one from a (presumably) very different culture to your own, it’s important to remember the amount of space and time that you are looking through.

        That’s what I’m saying, kind of. Like, if the young people looked like this too, it wouldn’t have prevented the opposite sex from finding them attractive, since breeding kept happening.

      Front row center is a stone cold fox. Just to the left of them - that grin? That’s game. And the person just behind and between them has such a kind face, I bet they’d be a generous lover.
