The problem with this guy was weakness in his character and a lack of self worth that would be easily sensed by women. A car, more muscles, or a bigger dick, were not the solutions to his problem.
A car is an external factor that simply refers to another underlying attraction factor of having money. i.e., “LOOK AT ME! I have this fancy car therefore its my evidence that I am successful and can be a potential good provider if you have my child” :) If ones confidence stems from having money then what happens to that individual when he has no money?
Your body on the other hand is not so external because it is an integral part of your whole being.The sort of approach and attitude you speak of Mr Avg is a more advanced approach to life that not many are ready for and so I commend you for thinking that way. There are many self perpetuated illusions in life and the idea that a bigger dick makes you a real man is in reality unfounded because we all know that this not really the measure of a man and yet we all want the bigger dick! :)
On the other hand we all have an intimate relationship with our bodies that we cannot escape until we die and we all create an image of what we think is an ideal body or face or cock size. Ask yourself why? why do we enjoy all those rating threads by DW and why do we judge women merely by the way they look, the size of their boobs, their FEET! :) faces and curves on their bodies. We simply cant escape some of the superficiality that exists in all of us. For the most part, we still choose our mates based on physical attraction and so we are all like the proverbial peacocks spreading out our feathers out to the rest and saying…”HEY! LOOK AT ME! Am I not pretty! Don’t you want me?”
Until we evolve to creatures that are so radically advanced that we no longer have any use for the shell of a body that we live in then I think the body is an integral part of our confidence because we are still at a point in our human development whereby mind and body are interdependent and work with each other.
It is certainly my deepest belief that any relationship based on mere physical attraction is doomed to fail if there is no deeper level of connection that involves the spirit but some degree of physical attraction must exist to even begin the path to such an ideal relationship. Suppose your partner lost her boobs or was badly disfigured in some horrible fire. Suppose you lost your penis in some accident then how would this alter your partners opinion of you? We would like to think that we are above and beyond such superficial things but the truth is that we are still a very physically based species of animal just like many of the other creatures on this earth. A couple that has truly bonded on a spiritual level could in my opinion transcend that physical thing and get beyond such tragedies but the difficulty of such a situation lends support to the fact that we cannot escape that mind-body connection.
