I guess we'll have to let the women in here. As long as there is no talking about toe nails and curly hair. That means you Papaya.

It surely depends on whose toe nails and curly hair we are talking about!

No one specific. I meant in general. Toe nails are soooo boring.

I was getting ready to pontificate on the wonders of the website I found that sells perfume oils.

Actually I was going to throw my opinion into the mix regarding the feminity of women in todays world.....your loss

Why on earth would we allow the reasonably stimulating conversation about what makes women sexy descend into a discussion about your feet?? Yikes.

Don't say "yikes"! I have feet like Michalengelo's David. In fact if i had take of my shoes in the center of city and start to swing my feet every single woman would get so affected.

Btw, i saw your car, you must be really old to use such a car! Hahahaha that must be a classic!

and why would she need that, i have my first dan in taekwondo (1st degree black belt) and am testing in october for my first dan in hapkido, i will be able to take on almost anyone.

Seee... I knew you did. That's why i said she must have at least 5th degree dan so she will be able to protect herself!

I'm a black belt in Tae Kwon Do!?!

Haha! So what!? I saw your picture, you can't even hurt a shy Panda in China (though i could keep punching that peaceful Panda's face). If you are not even able to punch a peaceful Panda, what's the meaning of having black belt? Point of black belt and all dans is having a prove of that you have the ability to beat people better than cops.

It surely depends on whose toe nails and curly hair we are talking about!

Did i ever tell you about my curly hair?

Oh please do, I'm curious. That seems like a good discussion topic. It should have its own thread though. This thread is more for kidding around than for serious topics.

Don't blame me - y'all (I'm learning southern talk) are the ones that brought it up!!

Im 50 years old, yea I know I'm old. But I must say that my opinion of what makes a woman beautiful or sexy has changed over the years. As a teenager it was very superficial and over the years it has morphed to something that still amazes me to this moment. Confidence, freckles, a woman that puts her children first, no make up natural beauty, a woman that likes being a woman, caring.

[Weisinheimer]

I agree

[kathycf]

...Some of the comments I made in the "Will feminism replace patriarchy?" thread were meant in this vein - that women who like being women - who like pretty, lacy things - who like things like nail polish and earrings and such - are very, very attractive (and this has little if anything to do with their actual looks - it has to do with their joy at being a girl).

I also posted in the "feminism" thread that supposing that feminists don't like being women or don't find joy in womanhood (or being a girl, whichever) goes against the whole idea of what feminism really should be about...that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with being female...that being female doesn't have to be "fixed" by acting like a man. Wanting equality is not the same as wanting to change one's gender. If a Black person wishes to be treated equally, would you tell them they just want to be white? Yes, poor analogy, I know. Still, people are discriminated against because of their race and also their sex.

I think there are certain ideas (misconceptions) that people still hold about feminism, so despite whatever I say...it doesn't matter. I am a feminist...I don't hate men...I don't want to be a man...I like jewelry, shoes, lipgloss and my favorite color is pink! For real!

I think many women are disappointed in how men act these days - but I wonder if part of our "wimpiness" isn't due to the fact that many women attempt to be "masculine" (i.e. "I don't need a man - I'm self-sufficient")

Self sufficiency is an adult quality....as in the ability to take care of oneself. Wanting or needing a man should be seperate from that...for romance, companionship, and so on. Isn't that why men need women? Or do men not need women?

Although i hate generalisations.....

Me too.

Virgil is right, this should be a seperate topic of conversation. I won't intrude here again, just wanted to put my opinion forth.

[Haven]

Something for the guys (no girls)....

I've seen the no guys allowed posts too.

It's titillation (sp?) n'est pas?

I almost feel like I have to apologise here, but loved the car pic.
I've got a 2.8litre golf 4-Motion, that goes from 0-62 mph in 6 seconds. Okay, showy, showy, showy... but I love that car. Have always been a petrol-head and always been female. . Sorry, might not be up to date with post threads... saw the car pic and oh, yum! More sexy cars please.

[Niamh]

nice car Kiobe!

[Redzeppelin]

Sorry Red, I got into this late, what did you say about cars? The blond guitar is a drop top strat.

Nice.

Do you play guitar?

Yep - for about 25 years. Lots o' rock 'n' roll.

I appreciate your thoughts. Yes, women should be able to take care of themselves - but sometimes I think they forget that its OK to "need" their man - because as much as a woman likes to be told that she's beautiful and that she's loved, a man likes to hear that he's needed, that he's important. That's all I'm saying. A man who said "What do you mean? I married you so I must love you and think you're beautiful! Why do I need to say so all the time?" to a woman would not be looked upon kindly (even if what he's saying is true). Do you see what I mean? I think sometimes both men and women forget how much these little things mean. We like to feel needed, respected and admired just like women like to feel beautiful, desired, loved.

[Bakiryu]

Nice.

That sounds like something I would say. lol. But it obvious if the guy married her he must think she's beautiful, otherwise he wouldn't. People who like to compliment too much are annoying too.
