Darizel said: The people in the movie "the Polar Express", for example, are far creepier than those in, say, "The Incredibles". There's a reason the Incredibles didn't creep you out, they are made to look like a comic book, and not to be real. BTW, any one notice how dark skin people look way more real than other people in those 3d movies that attempt to look real? (FF: Spirits Within had that old dude as well) --- |

SiegeLord, in the link you posted... I found it funny how they put Michael Jackson after Moving Corpse in the creepy part of the study... The one thing I don't understand about that curve is the zombie factor... Why are zombies considered more human like... To me they would be the least human like of them all. I mean if your a zombie then your dead and not 'lifelike' at all. And if you're trying to imitate life through AI then zombies shouldn't be included at all because zombies are fiction... Study flawed... ---- |

And industrial robots, moving stuffed animals, computer animated images aren't using any kind of AI and are totally living on their own?

When 3d animations are cartoony they're not creepy, when they're life like they're creepy. Actually I didn't find the FF movie creepy, or polar express (except for the ghost scene), or beowulf to be creepy at all... (well parts in all three I guess, but that was plot, not animation style). There were even scenes in all three of them where I was momentarily convinced it was real people, but those passed.

Christopher Bludau said: And industrial robots, moving stuffed animals, computer animated images aren't using any kind of AI and are totally living on their own? My point is more toward the fact that some things in that graph are incorrectly listed as being more human like then others... Something like an artificial limb is not more human than say a humanoid robot... If you factored the vertical part of the graph into determining the horizontal one then you would have the correct order of each, but the graph has too much psychology put into it and so it stays morally accurate and not scientifically accurate... I mean god forbid someone put a handicapped person in that graph and they end up lower then a puppet... Using psychology, where would you put Hitler in that graph? With the healthy people? But then where would he go scientifically? That's right with the zombies at the far left of the graph where they belong... and Micheal Jackson ended up in the negative of the vertical graph too even though he belongs elsewhere... I'm ranting and going off... The whole point is that it's all a damn psychological mess... Being handicapped or just being a horrible person doesn't make you less human or human like... To be human is to be flawed and knowing that is what really makes you human... If you can't understand that ---- |

This is so true. I never can get the women I want because I pretend to be a nice guy and it seems they can detect that I am not being honest. In the other hand, I treat ugly women like shit, and they are allways interested in me.

The symmetrical faces were picked out approximately four times more frequently than what random chance should have allowed, considering that the images were special in no other way.
I guess Anne Pohtamo, Miss Universe 1975, wouldn't have been picked. Take a look at her eyes. Almost extremely assymmetrical. Not that she would be ugly. {"name":"598222","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/3\/130d013bd889f16ed91ed1fa58d230bd.jpg","w":390,"h":480,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/3\/130d013bd889f16ed91ed1fa58d230bd"} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

I'm not ready for a relationship either. But you get dates in the meantime. Just enjoy what you are doing, and if you can't, don't do it. Too obvious? |

They have boobs, long hair, wear makeup, etc to make themselves look less real (manly). If you saw a mannish woman, you would be creeped out (k. d. lang?).

That has to be an edited photo... They probably edited to fix up the defects in makeup or it is just a bad angle... That photo is pretty creepy anyway... I'd post one, but apparently I've lost the privilege as all of mine are just links now. ---- |

Thomas Fjellstrom said: Just ignore her, she doesn't speak for all people, or all women. Really?? Well... Seeing as how I'm the Queen of the Universe, I think I DO speak for all people, or at the very least for all women. I said that you weren't ready for a serious relationship because you're not even sure of who you should be in order to attract the "right" girl. Your personalities (your partner's and yours, not your multiple personalities) create the basis for a strong, serious relationship.

Sure he is. He's just complaining it's not who he wants to be, but who he wants to be doesn't work. Blame the women, not him. -- |

Why not my other personalities... 23yrold3yrold said: Sure he is. He's just complaining it's not who he wants to be, but who he wants to be doesn't work. Blame the women, not him.
This is correct... I don't want to be the asshole all the time... I use this method to get my foot in the door (insert other analogy here) and it works for a good while, but I'm afraid that is not attracting the type of girl I'm really attracted to... I'm simply trying to find the strategy that works to find that type of girl, but another problem is I'm not sure what type of girl that is... I guess the best course of action is to stop complaining and continue what I've been doing this past week and just be myself... and use the asshole character as a last resort... ---- |

Have a think if there are any activities you enjoy that aren't as male-dominated as programming. (For me, there's music.) If there are, have a think about places you could do that activity with like-minded people. (For me, this is the orchestra.) Then that's where you can go to maximise the chances of meeting the right kind of girl for you. Out of interest, where do you currently go to meet girls? -- |

Usually just wherever I happen to be, but I meet girls in the strangest of places... I try to take advantage of each opportunity to meet someone, but my least favorite is the internet. Probably the strangest place I've ever met someone was in a dark alley in Hollywood (as wrong as that sounds)... I'll explain... some friends and I were walking from the car to this 'other place' and I ducked down the alley... well because it was a long drive Arthur Kalliokoski said:

I'll blame Britney Spears and Paris Hilton for that one. I guess I should have known better though...
Of course they knew the truth, but I got a laugh ('foot in door')
