I remember reading an anecdote on Reddit about a child commenting on how Katy Perry was pretty, only to be argued with by her (very overweight) mother and aunt. The two adults then attempted to persuade the child by arguing that Katy Perry was _underweight_ and being underweight is unhealthy and therefore, unattractive. The little girl, however could not be dissuaded—‘Katy Perry is pretty.’ That story, like this article, illustrates that qualities which are attractive either are or aren’t. An article convincing the reader why something is or is not attractive is as needful as an article explaining why a particular joke is funny—if it needs as explanation (or persuasive argument), the author has already proved themselves wrong.
