    I think it's more like our bodies are blank canvases. They need some color and embellishing to really accent what's already there

    I honestly couldn’t give a fuck. If you wanna shave have at it, but if you are more comfortable without shaving, more power to ya.

    Tbf, and I know you're just trolling anyway but, that blew your "architect" argument out of the water here.

    Architect for people here would mean our "creator," or a metaphor for biology for the non-religious. So the "architect" put the hair on the women, as you say he designed them that way, and thus the alteration (removal) should be perceived as sickness, I should suspect Alopecia, but it isn't and I don't. Instead as your source suggests and as I can confirm for me personally I do prefer such a woman altered beyond our architect's designs, I don't see her as sick, I can correctly surmise that she, a tool using primate like myself, likely purchased a razor from a store and removed the hair from where it originally was.

    As with the hair even if the tattoo "should" be viewed as a sickness due to a malfunction of our brains, in mine it isn't. As with "shaving" I'm also aware of what "ink" is, tattooed or sharpied frankly, if I see someone wrote a phone number on their wrist (a forgotten rite of passage in the age of the smart phone but for those of us old enough to remember) or an X on their hand I don't think "sick" I think "got a date" or "is under 21 at this band's show" respectively, as my brain (perhaps unlike yours) is capable of interpreting context.

    Furthermore many blemishes are not only "non-medical" (birthmarks, etc) some can be downright attractive. Love me a hot pale freckled woman.

    The Creator made men find body hair on women unattractive

    Nah he made the hair and made the reproductive mechanism we call sex which is fueled by attraction, clearly the intent (which frankly is a ridiculous concept to argue w.r.t biology so I guess we're working within a religious framework at this point, biology cannot have "intent," being a concept) was that we be attracted to the hair God put there, the attraction to hairlessness was born relatively recently to homo sapiens' existence. I'd believe relative hairlessness is attractive to our species as a whole through a holdover of self selecting us VS neanderthals, except that we didn't war them to extinction, we interbred.

    Frankly shaving at all is spitting in God's face removing the hair he created you with, by the "architect" logic.

    So do guys like tattoos on girls? Most guys do find tattoos on women attractive

    So you again dispute your own argument that all tattoos are interpreted by the brain as "blemishes" and therefore "sickness." If you won't listen to my argument at least listen to yours.

    as long as they are feminine, delicate,

    And women? Do they have the same requirements w.r.t attractive tattoos on men, or do they prefer tattoos that are manly and tough? Perhaps straight men just prefer women who are feminine and delicate, which duh, and this tattoo preference is an extension of that. It also applies to facial features, hairstyles, clothes, so why wouldn't it extend to tattoos?

    I conclude that you conjure conclusions where there are none. Do you come from a country or culture that actually does view tattoos that way, like Japan or (apparently) Korea, by chance? Just a hunch. Japan thinks tattoos are only for criminals, for instance.

    As I said, body hair on women might have a purpose in societies which are not technologically advanced

    Due to the technological advancement we have conditioned ourselves to think this, but as "the architect" designed we have it and we're supposed to like it (by your "architect" logic). It'd be like if your house was designed with window screens but you didn't like them so you took them off, they were put there by the architect for a reason and you are altering the house by taking them away. We're supposed to believe that altering the same house by adding a coat of paint is bad, yet altering it by removing window screens is A-Ok.

    The crux of your issue seems to be that you're so theistic you believe some immortal being directly beams thoughts to your head individually, and thus those thoughts must be "what god intended." Since it's no longer 0BC the rest of us know you're not really talking to the bush.

    You came up with a bad hypothesis and then backed it up with a shoddy study that doesn't draw the conclusions you think it does. Correlation != causation, and I doubt the studies mention "cause god said so" anywhere anyway. It doesn't make sense because you're reading too deep into these studies in an attempt to justify your biases through your religious framework.

    Know what? If god didn't want us to get tattoos he wouldn't have invented tattoo guns, same as razors, howboutdat?

    If you remove the bars you still lessen your security, no matter how safe you think the neighborhood may be, and you're still going against the architect's design despite your subjective opinion on the beauty (or lack thereof) of the bars. In fact Mosquitos are one of the world's most dangerous animals to this day and those would be the bugs that hair blocks, we still "need" our bars, by your own logic.

    So yes, god (at least with a small "g" unless you specify Allah, Yaweah, Jehovah, Xenu, JHVH-1, El, Prometheus, Ra, Quetzalcoatl, Khnum, etc). Your theory only holds up as "true" (and tenuously at that, if ) if your god is real. Pascals wager is fun and all but until such time as you can prove the existence of such a creator, your conclusions are unprovable.

    After further thought, I think my blemish hypothesis is correct...The reason could be

    You don't even believe your own rationalizations and refuse to let your conscious mind see it. You would have said "is."

    The designer created humans with artistic ability.

    But not the ability to distinguish art from sickness?

    Fun fact, my god told me tattoos are hot and body hair is natural, and my god is bigger than your god, so therefore you're wrong.

    Yeah, now they can shave, but for most of human history that wasn't the case (unless you think we're 2000 yr old and Adam and Eve is literal not apocryphal, the human race is much older than recorded history, which is much older than 2000yr, unless you're one of those "The Devil put dinosaur bones there to fool us" types). If what you say is true we never would have gotten to even develop fire before we died because nobody was shaving so nobody wanted to fuck.

    Evidence for a creator is not off topic, it's the entire crux of your argument. Your argument is literally "god told me to." If god is then not real and instead all of science is correct with the theory of evolution, then your entire argument is also not real. That's kinda the problem with hanging your insane theories on an unprovable creator, technically you can never be "disproven" as you can keep saying "god told me" while ignoring anything inconvenient as you do, but anyone who isn't dumb enough to already fall for that won't ever be convinced.

    But this is already settled, I told you I talked to my god and he said yours is a liar. I will accept no further debate on this topic because my god is infallible and you can't prove otherwise.

    I don’t get it. Would you say a river has architecture? Would you refer to an empty desert as a blank canvas? There is no architecture for which there was no intent. Also, canvases are artificial or even abstract constructs — of which our body is not. You seem to be anthropomorphizing things to justify and even romanticize your biases. Interesting use of cognitive load, there.

    A tattoo does not indicate health problems. I don't know where you got this idea, but your idea is wrong.

    if the brain interprets something as something else, it means the brain is wrong. So… again there’s no blemish. It’s clearly the other brain which has issues — the “observer” — not the tattoo bearer.

    You are overstating your sources.

    A study or article saying some men in some contexts find some tattoos attractive is not evidence for a universal male preference, and it definitely is not evidence for a biological law. “Most guys” is still a blanket claim built from a narrow sample, a specific culture, and a specific framing of attractiveness.

    Same problem with the body-hair point: a preference in one study does not become “men prefer plain skin on women” as though that were some objective truth. It only shows that a sample of participants responded a certain way in a certain setting. That is not the same thing as proving what men generally want across cultures, ages, and individual tastes.

    Also, “small tattoos in hidden locations” is not the same as “men prefer unblemished skin.” That is a different claim entirely. You are quietly inflating “some respondents liked discreet tattoos” into “men prefer women with no marks,” which is a leap, not a conclusion.

    The honest conclusion is much narrower: preferences vary, and your sources do not justify a universal statement about what men like.

    Your position is off putting, though. I can’t just sit here and try to educate you, because your romanticism of what’s effectively premature biological attributes is gross.

    a house is not a blank canvas

    "I sit in an empty room with nothing on the walls. No paintings, no posters, not even any light fixtures or furniture. The house is not a canvas for me to decorate."

    Off the top of my head the rainbow house by those Baptist nuts with the signs and a picture a kid drew for their parent before they died turned into a tattoo.

    To me tattoos are like graffiti. It's art that enhances the beauty of the otherwise plain architecture.

    In what the sample size of....3? from the esteemed publication... Glamour magazine.

    Multiple mentions of a survey, no mentions of how many were in the survey pool, how many responded, demographic information outside of "18-38", or any other pertienant details.

    So cool, a student research paper you allege wrote that is based on Glamour magazine and a unsubstantiated survey. Hope it was worth the Brandeis tuition 🤣

    I prefer not to see property covered in illegal graffiti, but I must say quite a bit of it is outstanding art. It amazes me how someone can spray paint the correct proportions in a railway yard, on a bridge or any difficult area to access. I enjoy looking at well done graffiti more than walking around the Louvre.
