Behold The Power Of The Monobrow

[Siamanto]

My dear Siamanto.......for as much as you say judging is wrong, you know nothing about me, and yet, here you are in fact judging me. What do you know of me (good or bad) to say you thought of me as much less narrow minded? What do you know of me to presume I do or don't watch "too much" (which is also a matter of judging) TV? What do you of my daily doings in order to determine weather I need to get a life (again, judgin), or not? Nothing, my friend. You know nothing of me.

Dear Crimson Glow,
First of all, I don't change my opinion of someone just because the person happens to have a couple of narrow minded opinions/views. I'm capable of having narrow minded views myself and I don't disrespect myself! But, I would call myself narrow minded in such situations. Let's call a cat a cat!

Second of all, I wonder why a sentence that would have explained what I was trying to do and would have - at least partially - answered your questions has been conveniently "plucked?" It's puzzling, won't you agree?
The following is my original post that includes the explicit statement: "I'll be your mirror." I was simply following your example and mirroring your behavior. I have explicitly stated it! Is there a need for more explanation?

How untrue! There are very attractive and beautiful males with monobrows! Where do you exactly leave?
Very disappointed! I always thought of you as much less narrow minded! Please allow me to use some of the other American ready made ostracist expressions: "You should be watching too much TV! Get a life!"

"I'll be your mirror." (Velvet Underground.)

Third of all, with all due respect, I still find it narrow minded!

Where I live bears no relevance to what I said.

First of all, the following is from the thread http://forum.armenianclub.com/showthread.php?t=5329

Fortunately, I live in a quite tolerant and open minded neighborhood: I'm safe!

On what planet?

I know that you were joking, but apparently the idea crossed your mind!

Most of all, I believe that it does. I would seriously doubt that the tolerance level in Weschester or Buffalo is as high as in East Village. Isn't that obvious??????

I didn't say it's right, I didn't say it's not narrow minded. I'm simply stating the fact that most girls in this country (and many others) would not go near a man with a unibrow. I didn't say that you shouldn't have a unibrow. I'm simply stating fact. You can have one, but you can't have an attractive girl if you do. As you said, this is an issue of preference, not an issue of tolerance. My tolerance, as well as any other members' here, has nothing to do with what I stated in my original post. No one's saying we don't tolerate it. But the nation as a whole? Nope, not gonna' (as the American ready made ostracist expression goes) "get any" that way.

First of all, thank you for the clarification!
Second of all, I wouldn't be so sure! It may be one the many factors and its relevance depends on the particular community.

I don't know about all these unibrows but you get some tongue action.

[Siamanto]

I am very intolerant of alot of things.

In the name of tolerance, I won't tolerate that!

[thedebutante]

Haha I never knew Georgie Porgie had a unibrow. Who would have thought. He must have plucked it since then.

Just for the record, thedebutante is gonna get so many kisses this weekend she is going to beg for air.

[thedebutante]

hey, dude with nice eyebrows, why are you ignoring me? check your windows

[Siamanto]

I do judge, its natural. I do not inflict pressure. Someone else's unibrow is not for me to pluck. lol I simply notice it, but keep my mouth shut. I would not like it if someone told me to not shape my eyebrows or wear my hair differently, etc etc...its not their place to. Its only fair to give them the same treatment that I want from them.

There is the question of....being in a relationship...would you tell your bf/gf to pluck for you (if thats in fact what you prefer)? I would if it was a serious enough relationship....although...any guy Id date wouldnt have a unibrow in the first place. lol If I didnt shape my eyebrows, and my bf asked me to, I would.

OK! Let me play according to your rules! I hope to be a good student. I'll me more royalist than the King, but I will make sure not to overdo it! I should not be blamed for anything that seems offending: I'm not expressing my opinions, I'm simply trying to be normal and think alike. After all, isn't this about thinking alike?
Also, it's not about you!

Thinking that plucked eyebrows are necessarily - and always - esthetically more pleasant reflects an unrefined and uneducated sense of esthetics typical to Suburbia. Yes, it depends on the particular eyebrow - thickness, shape, length... - the structure of the face, the expression of the eyes, the skin, the look, the personality etc. etc.
(For the record, this morning I saw a woman who would have looked less attractive with plucked eyebrows - she did not have monobrows. Like in paintings, the same lines appear differently according to the context. When I saw her, I thought of simplistic and rudimentary views expressed here and smiled! )

In fact, that simplistic understanding of Beauty reminds me of those uncultured people who reduce fine Arts to the cheap and poorly executed imitations sold to the public. OMG, the naive themes depicting Nature, horses are gross!

That simplistic and underdeveloped understanding of Beauty reminds me of those who consider insipid elevator music as Music and those who limit themselves to stupid popular songs! OMG, how gross! Losers!

etc. etc.

Note to myself: never consider going out with women who shop at Express or Gap - those cheap imitations of fashion. Never consider a woman unless she wears a Galliano, Delacroix or...After all, I'm civilized, educated and deserve much better!

PS. How did I do? Am I a good student? I know that I could have done much much better!

By the way, what is meant by "personal beauty" in your signature?
