>So that is why she has such good looking knees.
Or perhaps from dating the Muslim guy (or would that have led to rugburns toward Mecca?)...
...or Bob Guccione Jr.? ;-)
Seems to me men and women are individuals with individual tastes. Each person has an idea of what looks good to them - what is acceptable. There are realistic and unrealistic expectations. I don't find it unrealistic that I look for a mate that doesn't weigh 5x what I do. I don't find it unrealistic to want a mate that is in relatively fit shape rather than fat shape. I don't shop for supermodels. I shop for someone that I can stand to look at given that I will be looking at them till I die more than likely. But, I also look at religious belief, personality and whether they have a job.
What kind of job, how much money, and "pedigree" don't enter the picture unless on moral terms.. I don't particularly care to be involved with dancers or hookers.. call me old fashioned..
When half of society has no moral foundation they will respect enough to constrain themselves to, the expectation for themselves is the basement. Go figure..
"I am a WASP" -- Ann Coulter in The New York Observer
"Asked if she is a fundamentalist Christian, Coulter told interviewer David Bowman, "I don't think I've described myself that way, but only because I'm from Connecticut. We just won't call ourselves that" (2003)." -- Wikipedia entry cited above.
She was trying to convert him to Christianity I am sure, but when he kept making constant referenced to how lovely her neck looked while holding his dinner knife, I think she figured it was time to leave that relationship.
""Supermodels" are often quite grotty...."
Yes, having worked in the fashion industry some years ago, I can tell you from first hand knowledge that many models are so scrawny and plain that if you passed them on the street you wouldn't give them a second glance, except maybe out of pity. But with the makeup, lighting, clothes and airbrushing, they become goddesses. If a man is silly enough to want that, good luck to him.
But I really think most men want a woman with heart and goodness - things haven't gotten as bad as this article portrays, imho.
,,, can you post some shots of those so we can weigh it all up?
She was a true classical beauty, on the scale of Helen of Troy. Unfortunately, she was leered at by student and professor alike, one of whom I could have slapped because he was so open about it. (and I sat next to her in that class).
She transferred out pretty fast. She really needed a friend, instead of a pack of horndogs yapping after her.
She made other good looking women look plain next to her, so she didn't have any female friends, and I have no doubt guys were hard to trust. Tragic, really. No wonder a lot of naturally beautiful women are messed up. (also why the decent, nerdy guys often get the pretty ones, too.)
Personality counts for a lot, looks are in the middle somewhere. A "plain" woman with a nice personality and a pretty smile wins a lot of points, but she above all has to be genuine, not some put-on act.
All in all, beauty is more than skin deep, but ugly goes right to the bone.
I should have known that to a gorgeous, but flighty whore was doomed when I learned that my "prize" was her "penance."
"My Little Pony Glue Factory"
That's sick!!
HMMM, I think she is, but what does that matter???
I forgot to add:
(Heh, heh!) ;^)
I honestly think they're deceived into thinking that these beautiful women are going to settle into motherhood and domestication. By 35 to 40... when most men start developing the "paunch".....these beauties start looking elsewhere to satisfy their own quest of the "perfect man". Shallow is....as shallow does.
LOL! You forgot... lots of credit cards and the money to back it up! :)
Personally, I find most metrosexual males a bit lacking in substance... emotionally, mentally and spiritually.......for which no amount of money they have.... can replace. Of course....I probably came from the wrong generation. :)
I was thinking about this subject the other day. My line of thought was that women are like cars.
You have your exotic sports cars, fast, great to look at, handle like nothing else, and make your heart pound. But, the more exotic they are, the higher the maintenence and up keep is, and forget about fixing it yourself. They are good for a fun ride, but not much else.
On the other side of the scale you have your pickup trucks and SUVs. Usually bigger than a sports car, but they are still nice to look at if they're kept clean and maintained. They are very useful, dependable, and could and would do most anything that you asked of them. They aren't to complicated or expensive to buy parts for, and if you wanted to you could fix most anything that went wrong with them yourself.
I'd hazard to guess that the odds of keeping the pickup for a long time are much better than keeping a sports car for that long. Especially when the newer, sleeker, faster, and sexier model comes out next year.
You can't deny my analogy, especially when you consider how many supermodels/sports cars there are compared to the number of pickups/good hearted everyday women there are.
Before you light me up for such a chauvinistic theory and being so shallow, let me say this. It's a guy thing. It's how we view things and I'm not going to apologize for thousands of years of genetic refinement.
Take the shoes off and you have a picture.

Mi esposa at Vizcaya one great afternoon recently. She's an angel in temperment. In college I dated a girl who was half Jewish/half Italian for years. Had a mouth on her that could peel paint from a wall with the explicatives that came out of it. Brilliant woman, I loved to hang out with her. Tons of energy, but prone to tantrums of an unbelievable nature later on when we got closer. When I graduated, I moved 1,000 miles away from where she lived. The Latinas down here seemed downright passive after that experience - lol!
"Ask for" --- Ask her to eat a couple of bacon cheeseburger every day for six months........ and swim some laps every morning for a year.
I love Annie's writing, but she's so thin she looks like a death camp prisoner.
Fools doesn't begin to describe it.
I would say they're f***ed - and not in the way they imagine.
That is exactly correct.
Well, I mean, they like it (the gay culture).
They don't like it that way, most of 'em.
