    How the hell tall are you?

    I'm 6'3" and the biggest discrepancy I've had is when I went out with a 4'11" woman. That was during the 1970s, when I used to wear 4" platforms and she always wore flat shoes.

    Attractive women with red hair translates into very attractive women. Similarly for the negatives.
    I've had a few redheads and you might be onto something!

    Except that women who colour their hair can often become far more attractive. It is the very reason why women spend so much time and money on their hair - because it makes a huge difference to attractiveness.

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    As LostPrincess is happy to be Asian, so am I to be redhead..well more auburn nowadays since I've gotten older. But oh how we redheaded children get teased!
    You guys should start a poll on what kind of woman you find most attractive Asian v. redhead
    But seriously with men and women alike...someone can be gorgeous and if they're an a**hole, thier attractive factor just goes right out the window.

    I have to say that I have always found redheads to be extremely attractive....AND I have for the most part found asians attractive...it would greatly depend on other factors.

    I have just been through this entire thread and as entertaining as it was, I am mystified by the male species more than ever.

    Thanks for the insights guys.

    Always preferred my women petit, doe eyed, darkhaired, creamy skinned, fiesty, intellegent, healthy and slim. Other than that I'm not too fussy.

    You really are not fussy....it is such a short list

    You see the trouble with this club/thread is that the members are too far apart, geographically and culturally. So if I say, "didn't Giggsey do well yesterday," or "fancy Vaughan being dropped." It means nothing to our esteemed members from The America's. So thats sport off the agenda.

    Now there is nothing more fascinating to we Brits than our weather, But again its a subject that refers to local conditions, so if I say, "Its a bit parky today" or "Its cats and dogs out there," half our members would have to disagree, if they even understood the statement.

    So thank goodness for women, an endlessly fascinating subject for all real men everywhere. Its just a pity we're as shallow as a puddle on the highway, when we analyse our preferences.


    ps. Ricky Hatton, ah well
