I told a female friend of mine that Lou Diamond Philips was a handsome guy, and she said I have the worst taste in men's looks. That moment sometimes makes me question what an attractive guy is suppose to look like. Then I remember her boyfriend was a short, fat slob.

If she was thinking of him without facial hair, I'm with her. If she was thinking of him with facial hair and still not liking it, I'm with you. You'll have to ask and clarify for us next time you see her. The internet (me) needs to know if your friend has bad taste or not.

I said in La Bamba. No facial hair. I guess she was right.

Hrmm. See, that's different too. I can't say I disagree with her though. He's, at best, only okay in that movie. They tried to do him up like a popstar, but it doesn't quite really work. Older Lou Diamond Phillips is way hotter.

Lou Diamond Philips has always been hot. And he's aging like wine: every time I see him, he looks even better.

They referred to men as men and women as females.

[–] Deebster@infosec.pub 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No, they used female as an adjective when describing their friend. I agree it's unpleasant when people talk about "females" but that's not what happened here.

A lot of trouble comes from people's declining reading comprehension.

I actually think you're right on this one ✅
