Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Perhaps not recently, but I've read many messages here over the years where someone will proclaim that girls are more beautiful than and superior to women in ways X, Y and Z. I think it's silly to try to say this seriously, considering how well-known it is that beauty is subjective. Some traits are nearly universally agreed to be attractive (such as certain hip to waist ratios) but this doesn't make the traits objectively beautiful. It can, however, make them universally desirable.

I was thinking the other day, if the feelings I had for little girls were transplanted directly onto women, would it really be so bad? Subjectively I'd feel the same positive feelings, only the object of my attraction would be different. LGs might, on paper, sound superior to women in many ways, but I'm skeptical that a significant portion of my preference for them stems from these differences. We also regularly gloss over the many ways women are superior.

Then I thought about what about little girls I prefer. I find them more pleasing to look at, creating more of an emotional stir than most women I find attractive. But mostly I think there's a hidden belief about LGs that drives my attraction, a reflection to when I was young and had superior relationships to girls of this age than I did with women.

I associated desirable qualities in a mate with prototypical relationships I had with girls as a child, instead of with women caregivers or models (I mean behavioral modelling models, not supermodel models, although those too I guess) to project my fantasies onto.
From my experiences in childhood I found LGs more affectionate, approachable, and kind than the women in my life. As noone has yet fulfilled my needs that I believe little girls can best fulfill, I continue to desire them preferentially. However, since due to society and law I try to keep my distance, I'm unable to find out if they really can.

What if I had some LGFs and came to the conclusion that hey, women are better for me; would that be so bad, to find out rather than remain ignorant of my own real preference? Maybe it was just a fluke, perhaps I was raised around unusually non-compelling women and unusually accommodating girls, but if exposed to the average I would've preferred women.

I guess my point is that the superiority of little girls over women might be illusory, but we're too biased to tell, or that the meat of the issue is subjective. It's also part of my never-ending contemplation of the question "what does my attraction to little girls MEAN?"
