The kind you usually see, Brian, is a little cheaper...and can also be worn under clothes...so we get our money's worth :D

Two pictures of underwear below, One from Anne Summers and one from Damart. One is considered sexy, the other frumpy. Whats the difference ?(apart from about 30 quid)

Women wear the first one when they know it's going to be exposed and the second when they know it's not.

The only times that I've seen any really sexy lingerie worn with intent is actually during marriage. When a girlfriend goes out with her man, she's not thinking about turning him on, because if he isn't turned on by just being there, he wouldn't be there!

Couples, given the time and lack of competition unavailable to singles, have the opportunity to dress nicely both on top and underneath. Most sexy lingerie is designed to be worn without clothes.

You misunderstand me...

I was merely refering to the garments they were modelling... Not the models themselves.

Please accept our deepest sympathies upon the not-so-unexpected demise of your thread.

Seems like you cannot find anything to post about unless a semi-clad lady is involved.

:p

bah, not even 24hrs and they're reporting our demise. It's just we know how to enjoy silence a quiet drink and our thoughts. unlike you lot we dont need to be constantly talking.

Methinks there's more than a snippet of posting-envy involved in it as well.

Being the alleged champions of talking [constant drivel], the girls are a bit embarrased to find that on a time/post rate, The Blokes' Thread is much bigger.

Why are women so obsessed with size?

Could a post get any more Freudian?

:D

But, please rest assured that no envy was involved in the making of my previous post.

And what's wrong with that? Scantily clad women are all there really is to life. :)

Now the real question is why women decide to be so scantily clad for our entertainment? :D

I note that the sub-text to your avatar reads Piece de Resistance.
What we men prefer is Vive la Piece et a bas la Resistance. Especially if the piece in question is tres joli.

Come on, Brian, You'll have to translate that for some of the ignorant Americans here...and I mean ignorant in the most respectable way....meaning, I just don't know what that means.

Obviously joli is not an adjective to be associated with this pièce so it is OK that she is "Pièce de Résistance", I am sure.

Don't forget the booze Virgil.

And pork scratchings..

Don't forget good cigars and sport (or did we cover sport with women?) :D

Ok, you're all right, though I have no idea what pork scratchings are. :)

Deep-fried pork rind. Cooked until it's puffed and crunchy, then salted.

A favourite of cardiac surgeons, with pork scratchings being 100% saturated fat and salt! No carbs.

We do that for our own entertainment...our way to celebrate our inner goddesses. If guys happen to be present, that's fine by us, all in the spirit of sharing :p

Sounds more like your inner narcissist. By whatever name, though, it's a great thing.

hmmm not the same. "narcissist" is self admiration, "goddess" is more like self liberating. Whole different feeling.

You make much finer distinctions with your appearance and clothes than I do. Usually, I'm not considering whether an outfit is about admiration or liberation. Most often, it's just a matter of clean or not clean, new or threadbare. Sometimes my thoughts range as high as whether something fits, but most of the time it's pretty low-order thinking.

Speaking of low-order thinking, how did we get onto scantily clad women as a topic?

yeah, we gals think differently. Clothes don't cover us. It reveals us and sets us free.

how we got into the subject is when I was poking around New Posts and clicked on something and back arrow'd a page or two, saw Virgil's bikini babes and just felt like commenting (more like clarifying). It's late, I can't sleep and just found myself here. Please don't mind me....:p

I could use a cold beer.

Maybe you should chase it with kool-aid ;)

I never go into this thread, and now that I did I really had nothing interesting to offer. Boredom... meh....

oh and if you want to see scantily clad women, you should all come to where I live... in the summer it is quite the sight ;)

You are all very welcome, guys, for reviving your thread for you!

I think the scantily clad subject started here, (by a lady, I notice)
By the way, I've been studying this pic closely;) and I believe Ms. Welch suffered from mammarial-disparity. ( the right one is deffinately bigger.)

Now... You make me wonder...

Ah, there you go! It started on the very first page of the thread... by one of your own needless to say!

I refused to just take your word for it...I spent several hours studying the picture, but I still cannot come to a conclusion concerning the proportionate nature of the glands in question. It may take further study, but commitment is necessary to answer such the mysteries of such anomalies.

Either I'm bored or I'm hooked, or both, I'm baacck (are girls allowed here?)

This time I'd like to offer a possible explanation of that "mammarial disparity". Here's my uneducated visual forensic analysis:

It may all be just a distortion due to lighting. The light comes from the left (our left) and a "mountain" of this magnitude could cast an significant shadow that accentuates the actual size. At the same time, the same light hits the other landmark and de-emphasizes it.

Personally I'm drawn to the garment itself -- the halter strap...the demi...

Today I made a new wall of beer. :) All I need to do now is replenish the liquour cabinet with new whiskey. A 15 year old glenlivet, The french oak reserve, my favourite affordable whiskey. If only I was rich... aha!

240 bottles of beer against the wall, 239 bottles of beer, 238 bottles. Actually, we're already 10 down, but that's okay.

Let's see if the picture thing works with facebook and linking it

Does everyone see a nice beer wall?

Reminds me of a quote from Porridge. Fletcher notes that one of his mates is so unlucky that if he was born to Elzabeth Taylor, he'd be a triplet on the bottle.
