May I offer you all something to ponder , and opine about. This morning, while jogging, and listening to ESPN radio, they were talking abotu a survey in some magazine, asking guys to list their ideal dates for New Year's Eve. The winners were:

1. Jessica Alba
2. Scarlett Johannsen
3. Halle Berry

I also heard that there were different faves for those over age 40..

So, you're invited to name your ideal date for New Year's Eve. Obviously, we can tell YOUR sex by the sex of the date you choose, but please add if you're over or under age 40.

My choice....Peggy Noonan...beautiful AND brilliant.., and yes, obviously, I'm over 40..and as of 12/ 31/2006...officially single...so I should get on the ping list, I think

Good idea. I have an Orlando Bloom obsession. And I'm way under 40 :)

Hey, Dolly, could you add Ken to the ping list?

Hi ken,

I'm new to this 'singles' thread too. My husband died recently after a long, slow decline and a long life...

Let me see who I would want to spend New Year's Eve with...
These men are all married but, IF THEY WEREN'T, my list would be men like these:
Newt
Steve (Forbes)
Ben (Stein)
Mark (Styn--I might put him at the top of the list--good looking and brilliant!)
Many of the guys who post on FR who are witty and decent and also brilliant...I don't keep lists of online names but maybe I should start?? ;)

For whatever it's worth, I'm 43, but I'm not sure what difference being that age would have over my choice of the ideal date for New Year's Eve.

Of the names on the list, I'm not sure that I would recognize any of them if they passed me on the street. I know who Jessica Alba is. I see why guys find her attractive, but she's just never appealed to me. The same is true of Scarlett Johannsen. Halle Berry has a pretty face and shapely figure. I like her overall look when her hair isn't too short. I don't know anything about her on a personal level, so I don't know whether I could stand trying to talk to her for even ten minutes.

Among prominent conservatives, I agree that Peggy Noonan is an attractive and intelligent lady, but she's enough older that she wouldn't be an ideal date for me. Like most guys on FR, I've panted over Ann Coulter, but she really wouldn't be right for me. She's clearly someone who likes big cities and the whole city scene. I'd rather die than live in that environment. Her latest book, Godless, was either a blatant pander to religious conservatives or shows that she's become a religious conservative. The book was disappointing on several levels, and I'm much less interested in her than I was in the past. Most other prominent conservative women are married.

I think Jessica Simpson is very pretty, and I think the whole tuna/chicken thing was staged. She may not be as stupid as her public image seems to be. She seems to be a nice person in many ways, and I'd value "nice" over "brilliant" anyway. However, I have a hard time wishing that Jessica Simpson would be my New Year's Eve date.

One celebrity who always seemed perfect was Sara Evans, but I really can't tell who's lying in her whole divorce mess. Even if she's completely innocent and completely truthful, her having kids makes her not ideal for me. However, if she didn't have kids, had never been married, and weren't under this whole cloud, she would seem perfect.

I shouldn't have started this post. I'm coming to the depressing realization that not only will I not have a New Year's Eve date, there's no one who I really wish were my New Year's Eve date.

Bill

My best date: My granddaughters.

We've spent the last four New Year's Eves as a "date." (They're 7 and 10.) They spend the night; we open up the fold-out couch in the living room; and we pop poppers, watch old Disney movies and eat awful-for-you stuff until we all fall asleep.

I've never had a better date in my life.
