So, right, then, who do you fancy?

it's problematic to "fancy" people and also colonialist because "fancy" is a britishism

infatuations and crushes and impoverished one-sided relationships should not be bestowed upon real people, because people are really not worth it

have you considered thom yorke's bum tho

i think crushes are important.

if you saw things with total objectivity--if you saw people as they are, like really as they are--you would be overwhelmed with the weakness and folly of humanity. we are smart enough to understand, or maybe formulate, ideals, but we are way too limited to realize them. if you dwell too much on them, you become a misanthrope.

admiring, and even feeling "crushed," by the beauty of another, even romanticizing them to a point that isn't really warranted, that is distorting, is a way to ward off misanthropy.

it will make you, personally, miserable of course. you're never gonna "get" the object of your affection. even if you do enter a relationship with them, you'll soon learn they're just another sinner like you. to love them you will need to let go of the ideal in your mind, that construct that had "crushed" you. but being personally miserable is a prerequisite of having faith in humanity.

good posts, treeship

Dan S, Saturday, 26 September 2020 03:23 (three years ago) link

so I would say the AT&T girl

frogbs, Saturday, 26 September 2020 03:23 (three years ago) link

Yeah, good stuff, treeship.

I never understood the appeal of talking about one’s crushes to others, for me it takes the bloom off the rose. Unless the idea is to get the voteword out, like Mr. Barkis in David Copperfield.

I only fancy the cast of Hannibal now. Thanks lockdown! (And my fellow slackers.)

mh, Saturday, 26 September 2020 03:48 (three years ago) link

Well, he's a Brit so that's problematic and colonialist.

Kinda in love with Maya Rudolph tbh.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 26 September 2020 13:21 (three years ago) link

I constantly have more crushes than I can count, but I'm happily married and they don't mean anything.

Maya Rudolph though, is a Very Serious Crush. I went back and forth on whether I liked Big Mouth, but I hung on just to hear her say "bubba baff."

I have a coworker who I like but never fancied before. Recently, she got a short haircut (I like ladies with short hair)and I started finding her to be cute. Found out yesterday that she got braces (I'm fascinated by women with braces). But I can't see her braces because we're all masked up for quarantine and whenever we're talking I'm thinking about what's behind her mask which creates a tension which makes the mask exciting. Weird times.
