Anyway, to get back to my _______ point: There is no easy way for a man to answer a woman’s question of how she looks.

original

The blank is most naturally filled with "original" here, creating the phrase "to get back to my original point." This common conversational transition signals a return to the main topic after a potential digression, which fits logically before stating the core observation about the difficulty of answering such questions. The word choice feels natural in casual speech and effectively connects the preceding (unseen) discussion back to the speaker's central argument.
