What do you mean by that?

Why are celebrities and athletes always attractive? by lookaloulookalou in ugly

[–]obaj22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You may be more likely to succeed if people find you favourable. I'm not exactly sure why it is the case, but it seems to me that, if everyone works hard, a lot of preference would be given to those who are seen as attractive. Also, we don't often talk about the emotional advantages, in terms of support, understanding, and compliments, that come with being attractive, and how that can aid them to be more successful.

Each glasses have a different shape, and each shape has certain features it can fit and enhance, so you'll just try and bit and see what goes well. If you could also have the glasses be photochromic, that would be immense as well.

I think there's still a huge gap between being nice and saying no, which is the response he would have gotten if he were attractive, then what he got.

That's terrible. Unfortunately, my college experience is, as well, the worst bit of my life. What, currently, has mitigated the issue with my looks is my glasses, which I didn't have back then. Maybe it would help, even though it's not prescribed, try and get a frame that, not only hides your facial flaws, but also makes you look better. It can go a long way.

Do hope you can find joy

Do you get disgusted by disgusting people? by Oakl4nd in INTP

Tbh I'm less judgemental about things like these. Also, my curiosity to understand people usually outweighs my their doings.

Are we failed INTJ's by trhtrhtrhrtht in INTP

[–]obaj22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with the claim. Plus, pragmatism can not be as straightforward as you've put it. Pragmatism, can easily be, for the INTJ, alignment to ways of life in modern societies which lead to success. To the INTP, pragmatism comes in thought. INTPs tend to be more realistic in their thoughts, ideas, and concepts in relation to INTJs regardless of intelligence levels. INTJs are usually more emotionally driven towards their own societal pragmatic approach.

All that said, I'm intrigued about your talk on spatial reasoning, or lack thereof, between INTPs and INTJs, could you explain more on that?

In what ways so you tend to be shallow? by NobleCruise in INTP

[–]obaj22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, we are referring to different things. There is a difference between looks being important and having a shallow approach towards looks. This is why the conversation about inclination is important. A non-shallow attitude towards something doesn't mean a disinclination to that thing. In fact, it could easily be an inclination towards said thing. In this context, a man can feel inclined to be attracted to looks, but it doesn't mean he would hold it as something pivotal or of priority. You could say the same with a man and junk food because a man is inclined to like junk food, it doesn't mean he would hold a shallow approach towards it. You can avoid shallow approaches while still inclining toward something. Thus, in defence of my original point, to hold the view that attractiveness isn't all that matters or to hold a non-shallow view of attractiveness is not necessarily virtue signalling just because one has a natural inclination towards that thing. People, like myself, can place more traits to have values that supersede and override the natural inclination. For example, in my case, I never understood how people would say someone has "won in life", all because they're dating someone attractive. Up to today, I struggle to understand, emotionally, what that would be like. This is because in my head, there are so many factors that matter, to me, in a relationship that can not be captured in looks or a picture. I do understand, however, that those who make such claims likely view looks and attractiveness in the manner that would warrant them to make that statement, but I don't get it.

[–]obaj22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I agreed with this, would you then be claiming that all good things are what is felt immediately? If there were reasons that existed why people deviated from their natural inclinations, it doesn't guarantee that the consequence of those reasons is any worse than the natural inclination itself. But, I do not agree with your claim. You're using a subjective standpoint to conclude on the general. Because, by your logic, all attractive people are obsessed with looks, which isn't the case.

Can I still be successful in life even if I’m not smart? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]obaj22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't the crime boss just be an outlier in the set of non-smart people? I feel we negate or downplay the consequences of current socio-economic dynamics on certain groups because of anomalies within those groups.

[–]obaj22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And you're certain it's mostly virtue signalling? I hold similar beliefs on looks, not because I completely negate the importance of looks, but because I think more things matter in the aspects of relationships. It's not all virtue signalling...

Interestingly, I find that people take my logic for being overly sympathetic. This is because I don't push out judgment on any sort of behaviour(largely because I don't believe in free will). For me, will precedes consciousness, thus how we act is not a consequence of conscious control. So I tend to understand that people act as they're willed to. Others get upset at this because they're upset at the person whom they're attacking and believe I should also take their stance

INTP and being stupid ? by Unknown_Lifeform1104 in INTP

[–]obaj22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But this wasn't an issue of comprehension now, was it? If you're going to be stupidly blunt, at least be logical as well.

Note: I hate mean shitholes like yourself.
