- You ask a very interesting question, and after pondering it for a while, I
- am forced to the conclusion that I would attach importance to it, and it
- would be a strong factor. It's justifying why, that's harder. As with all
- matter relating to attraction, logic or justice doesn't play a part (for
- example, whilst I try not to be racist in other aspects of my existance, I
- am not attracted to Chinese men).
-
- As I have mentioned previously, all of the "girly" calandars I have seen
- are, to my eyes, aesthetically of poor quality. Thus, as someone who regards
- such things as important, it would be a factor in my analysis, insofar as
- it indicated the tastes of the person who displayed it.
