Jim Morrison is a complete pseudo-poet-rockstar.
His lyrics are juvenile at his worst and sophomoric at his best.
His actual "poetry" is pretentious drivel.
The mythos of Morrison, the "Lizard King" is complete brainless celebrity worship.

This is coming from someone who is a big Doors fan and has read multiple biographies of Morrison and the band.

I don't know what the hell any of you are talking about. I'm the one who brought up the Adam Driver comment. I don't bring him up because he has a "model face" or a good looking face for that matter, which I think he doesn't. I mention him because he has a masculine face.

When I think of men's face, I am thinking of two things. I'm not looking a beauty.

ADAM DRIVER <-------------------------------------------------------------------------> S()YBOY

Every fucking soiboi has a rounded, uncut face. They have a fairly undefined or pig nose. Their eyes are usually narrow. They have no definition to browl ridge, or their cheeks, or their jaw structure. I hate the rounded, fat, ambiguous faces.

It's been my sole experience in life that conservative, cool people fit that Adam Driver look and liberals, retards, people who have nothing wrong with porn, tattoos and shit, are literal soibois. Even beyond politics, Driverchads are more reserved, mannered, polite, and less effeminate, and seldom overweight.

Funny too, how probably 200+ people told me to put my mask on over the course of the omnicron outbreak, and all of them who were men, fell into the soi look. The cool people who left me alone always had the chisled definition face.

[Anonymous No.19903256]

>>19903246
Another anecdote, the soi faces ALWAYS had impacted wisdom teeth that were removed, every fucking time. I ask them that out of curiosity and it turns out to be so always. Of course their weak faces couldn't accommodate a normal number of molars for an adult.

I have no idea why you're replying to me. I just told someone that people consider Morrison attractive because of his face not because of his body. Then I pointed out that Driver does not have this kind of model face. These are both very obviously true

I like Elvis but Elvis was not self-aware and faking a persona. Jim Morrison is the prototype for guys like David Bowie that consciously created a mythology around them.

My favorite bit of Elvis lore is that he would take groupies back to his hotel room and read to them instead of sleep with them. He was interested in eastern spirituality and esotericism and Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine was one of his favorite books.
