    "Not that I'm judging."

    Yes, you are. But it is okay to judge. :) Look at the way they look and are dressed as a form of truth in advertising. Things only go wrong if people misread each other's visual signals.

    One no doubt frustrating way that this happens is when a woman is very curvy. It is disgusting when women are treated as whores just because they have big breasts for instance. A skinny near chestless woman can wear the same outfit and not get treated that way.

    Life is unfair.
