Good question ... and one worth taking in it's proper full context ...
Are you more likely to move towards and choose:-
a girl wearing nice new well-cut clothes, or one wearing her frumpy at-home clothes?
a girl wearing a little makeup, or one wearing absolutely none at all?
a girl's pic taken on her good day (no PS) or one taken on her bad-hair hungover day?
a real GF doing what a real GF does, or a girl giving us wonderful (but deliberate) GFE?
It's ALL artificial. And let's face it, we LOVE a bit of gilding of the lily. The fantasy is always more intense than the reality. Even fake moaning - at the right time in the right way - can give us an extra high that wouldn't have happened without it!
The issue is one of degree - if the PS is so exaggerated that the girl looks nothing like the original, it means we get disappointed and hurts our trust as much as fake advertising. Heck, why do walkups use pink lighting in the room? Simple: it hides blemishes better than a full-on white light.
But I think underneath all of our desire for authenticity and accuracy, we still want the girl to look her best, including in her pics ... as long as it doesn't make her look cheap and overdone when we actually see the reality. Right? | |
