My goodness you are in love with Hooters. I can tell by all the pictures you posted that the only reason you go there is because of their charitable nature.
What did you expect?:^) Hooters is a target for some.
IMO, the young woman has a legitimate gripe. There may be more to the basketball coach, cheerleader coach and cheerleader/Hooters girl triangle than we know.
I wouldn't be surpised if there isn't a little jealosy/envy at play.
If it's a double standard they might want to review policies but cheer leading is a privelege not a right. I kind of look at it as a club. If there were rules and she agreed to them she should have tried to get changes but not have broken them.
Hey tuffy... guys like cute chicks... it was a nice gesture to send the calendars.
I really don't get the resentment that a bar with cute waitresses in tank tops is something that deserves your utter contempt even when they do something good... You aren't this much of a prude... what's up with you and Hooters?
Never heard of it. Is there really such a joint? If so, what do they serve---salad? Sounds like a hippy joint.
A suit...hands down winner. There's nothing I love more than to see a man in a well put together suit.
I just don't understand it. My wife and I have talked about it on a few occasions over the years. It baffles me. If a woman is 'heterosexual', wouldn't she be attracted to the male body? This is a great mystery to me.
I think women's feelings on the subject are kinda sad, really. Most men would *love* to be a 'sex object' to women. We'd *love* to be ogled by women. Clearly women love the attention, etc, when they want it. But only when they want it, like a celeberity who gets angry at Paparrazzi.
Women are so use to the attention, and they take it for granted. They can't imagine what it's like for men.
Well between those choices I have to go with suit. What I really think is attractive though are jeans and a jacket.
My wife hates it when I make this suggestion, but that sure sounds like it's the clothes more than the man that you find attractive!
Ditto. Excellent way of summarizing what Hooters is all about.
Sorry, but *you* need to cut the caffiene intake.
Suits over a speedo any day.
If women saw men as pieces of meat the way men view women, there would be an outcry, from men, of biblical proportion.
Once, 17 years ago, a car full of women drove by me and one of occupants yelled a comment that objectified me. (I ran after the car yelling "Yes!"). That memory is my "happy place," where I go if I am feeling down in the dumps. Always works.
It's what the expensive suit implies about the man's character, taste, and high social status that women find attractive.
There is a little truth in that, i think, but it's not the main point, according to my wife.
I think women just like clothes. Nice, fancy clothes. On other women, on men, on kids, whatever.
The main, sad point tho, is most women are *not* really attracted to the male himself, to the male body.
And i find this very, very odd indeed.
I hear ya!
:-D
I know the feeling.
But I do think you're wrong -- for some odd reason that even women themselves don't understand, women pretty much aren't attracted to men themselves. Women are attracted to how the man relates to her, to how he dresses, etc. But not to the actual physical body of the man.
Which makes *no* sense to me, if they're heterosexual. But apparently that's the way it is.
Altho, as I understand it, that is changing some. Younger women seem to be somewhat more interested in the male physique. But previous generations of women just on the whole are not.
It's not that simple. It's the image, the romance of what the clothes say about him we're attracted to, perhaps... In clothes, he's an image that evokes some emotional response. In clothes, men are cowboys, or construction workers, or James Bond, or soldiers, or our guy in jeans, or dressed to go someplace nice, if suits are unusual for him.... walking around nekkid, guys are simian and uncivilized, and for all we know, might be about to scratch themselves ;~D
You should have learned by now that women are much more complicated than a simple visual reaction. Women don't want to see male nakedness unless she's about to have sex with him... and even then, it's better if he doesn't just walk in like that. :~D
Whoa...you really HAVE seen the future! ;o)
