    I just like women. All it takes is one gorgeous smile, and I'll give everything short of my manhood to her.

    Maybe you should instead not give that much to her, she'll like you better for it. Seriously, nobody likes a pushover, so don't become one just because a gorgeous woman smiled at you.

    hmmm... that sounded a bit harsh, but it's true. backbone. I know you have one, don't let it turn to jelly at the hint of a smile. Stick with it. Be yourself, and don't let anyone walk over you...

    As if I have never let anyone walk all over me, but you learn... *sigh* you learn.

    Hey, skib. Somethin' for you:

    Then she would run until morning to ease the ache; swifter than rain, swift as loss, racing to catch up with the time when she had known nothing at all but the sweetness of being herself.

They tend to bring out the male protective side which can be a very strong attraction; unless you are in favour of the big brassy type of woman who is always trying to impress with masculine qualities which, I think you will agree, should be the province of men.
    On the other side of the coin, the same goes for those effeminate men who try to behave like women.

    Aimus- I still want to know where you got that nifty beer pouring device. I need one for my house

    As for the discussion of bodies: There certainly is nothing wrong with a woman being petite or slender even with a lack of curvature. The turn off is when they're skinny just cause they don't eat properly..like when you can start seeing bones and clothes are hanging off...anorexic model ****. I have some very very naturally slender friends who look gorgeous cause they still look healthy and happy.
    I have to agree with Skib: there's a lot to be said for a great genuine smile which is often indicitive of a good personality

    I am close to helpless in dealing with women, but I'm not that much of a pushover! (that was a bit of an exaggeration, but I am a sucker for a pretty smile!)

    VERY funny Wispy! Hey, do you need my credit card number . . .?

    I agree! I like a woman to have her natural body. There is a difference between naturally slender and anorexically scrawny. Skeletons aren't that appealing to me any more.

    I am inclined to point out the obvious contradictions, firstly there is the whole thing with boobs, what is with that anyway? they are annoying things to lug around but having them is supposed to be good and there is the whole boob job palaravar ( can I just say BAD IDEA , big breasts can lead to all sort s of medical complications) and then men turn around and go well actually skinny titless wonders are the most attractive look? what is WITH that? seriously?
    now I think there are some women who look good really good as skinny little things perhaps verging on the titless wonder side of things .. but flesh is there to cover bones not accessorise them. Then of course great bulging waves of fat isn’t what you would call attractive either, but again we get the weird thing where you have the fertility goddess thing...weird. so yes men should stop with the objectifying of women, or at least if that is impossible don't vocalise it, it makes you look shallow and you might end up hearing women objectifying women, which can be really scary and nasty.... it only makes
    And have you ever noticed how its the ugliest people who are always the most fussed about having attractive partners... ?!

    But I would like to also add saying " I don’t like skinny women " and leering at someone is only liable to get you a smack upside the head at the very least if said women is in a particularly charitable mood alot worse things can be done with a pair of point high heels!!

    You are right, but the flat chested little females of the 'twenties' were a revolt against the corseted amazons of pre WW1. By the time of WW2 the need to activate the fighting men required a return to a more, shall we say, fuller figure. The appearence on the scene of Betty Grable and others with similar physical charms gave the American war effort a tremendous boost which enabled US troops to raise the Stars and Stripes over Iwo Jima. Never underestimate the female body in all its glory but enjoy it for what it is.

    In some ways I agree, and in others, I disagree, Nightie! I agree with you in your wondering about why boobs are apparently so fascinating. But I disagree with you in saying that making a comment about one's physical preferences is automatically objectifying a woman. Everyone has a physical preference, and there's nothing wrong with vocalizing it, as long as it's not done patronizingly. To say that you prefer skinny women isn't saying anything against women who are otherwise, it's simply stating a personal preference. Leering however, is bad under any circumstances

    But women do it to. We all have a preference as well, we're just not as outspoken about it.

    Like all other things, the current 'fad' is related to the environment. Look up some studies and you'll find that woman in difficult times are attracted to rich men more so than in good economic times, same goes for men and their attraction to women. Good times = skinny, bad times = not so skinny, as a general rule.

    Ok granted.. thing is that was an edited down rant and I didnt get all the GAH! out of it. BUt I have to say women sitting around objectifying men pisses me off just as much, if not more. Im not saying dont have a preferance , and state it sure. I mean my flatmates were trying to set me up with this lovley guy ( and he is lovley, and apparntly very attractive and loads of people throwing themselves at him) apparntly hairy hands is a good thing but I can't see it. I guess I just get particuarlly annoyed but this because I have more than once been in the company of males who havet realised I could understandthem and started commenting on every female who walked past. and on one occaison this guy a) knew I could understand and b) was atually commenting to me and I was like Excuse me? so if thats your opinion of women what do you think of me excatly? tell you it shut him up fast.

    I hear ya, though we're gonna get yelled at for this in a minute for invading the boys' thread!!

    As it were...

    Gentlemen!! Since when is being female, dressed up, and in a bar an invitation to be groped? At what point did you males take it upon yourselves to decide that feeling up a girl without so much as a word to her was acceptable? Just wondering

    Men don't yell. They roar. like lions.

    seriously though, only morons grope women like that in bars. It's the idiots that give men a bad name.

    Also, it's the sluts that give women a bad name, don't throw out the entire basket just because there are a few rotten apples in there...

    And now get out of this thread, or I will use my own powers to make you.
