Beautiful. Nah. Pretty? Compared to those ladies... Nah. Cute? Maybe. On a good day with excellent lighting. Sexy? OMG, no.<br /><br />However, what you have proven here is that once you bypass the Beautiful category, it really becomes very subjective.<br /><br />I think about some of my worst crushes as a young person (and even as an older one) and they were all on people I could TALK to. They were interesting and I could just listen to them talk FOREVER. I think they must have had 7s in their chart. And my soul urge number is 7. So, there you go.<br /><br />I remember this one guy I really liked in college wasn't even that good looking. Seriously, even I knew at the time he wasn't that good looking, but I had a terrible crush on him. I am not sure he knew I was alive. Or if he did, he was thinking... Who is this annoying girl who follows me around hanging on my words? And there you go.<br /><br />My last two serious boyfriends were total morons. And that includes my ex-husband. Neither one of those jokers had anything worthwhile to say... but were excellent at BS.<br /><br />One last thought on those womens who dress like sluts because they think it is sexy. It's not. Well, on some girls it might be. BUT, that is not how guys read those signs. It just screams Easy. Quick story for ya: After I moved to NYC my friend took me clubbing. I had no clothes for "clubbing" so she loaned me some black spandex number. Oh Lord Have Mercy. Men men everywhere men. That song It's Raining Men could have been playing all night. But, they all wanted to take me home and do very wicked things to my person. Naive thing that I was couldn't figure out why I was getting this response. After a couple more clubbing experiences in my friend's "club" clothes I figured it out. <br /><br />After that, I said, "I will go, but I am wearing jeans, a t-shirt and no make-up." It all got smoother after that. She was still shaking them off with sticks, but I was (mostly) left alone. As you say, sexy just churns up stuff that most womens aren't ready for in a man. <br /><br />I would send you a link to a song, but you already told me that if I made you listen to anything else even "remotely" like that again, you would unfriend me. So, I's keeping it to myself.

And equating it to the unexplainable reasons we are attracted to some music, or some Jazz musicians, and not others, is right on the note.<br /><br />Of course, in this blog bit, I was addressing solely facial attractiveness, as I am in no position to elaborate on any indefinable qualities any of these women might possess that I find a turn-on or a turn-off. <br /><br />In fact, I didn't even address the beauty of the body, either, but kept it all above the neck and all very superficial ("superfacial"?)<br /><br />Several blog bits could probably be written about what attracts us to certain body types, as well, and I think there would probably be greater room for disagreement in THAT than in the beauty of the face. <br /><br />Why is one guy turned on by the Marilyn Monroe body type (not me) and someone else turned on more by the Audrey Hepburn body type (more so for me, but I could find others that turn up the heat even higher for STMcC)?<br /><br />There are also all those little "quirky" things that some find attractive but others do not:<br /><br /><i>The way you wear your hat<br />The way you sip your tea<br />The memory of all that<br />No, no, they can't take that away from me<br /><br />The way your smile just beams<br />The way you sing off key<br />The way you haunt my dreams<br />No, no, they can't take that away from me</i><br /><br />Sometimes, it's just something about the way a woman laughs, or the way she folds her arms, or...<br /><br />A past friend of mine used to have this small gap between her two front teeth. It wasn't a HUGE HOLE, but just a slight space between them. Something about that I just found attractive. It's not like I have some "gap fetish", but for some completely unexplainable reason, I found the small gap endearing with that one particular woman.<br /><br />Well, Gene Tierney was about as close to "perfect" as I think God has yet made a woman (facially), and yet Tierney had the slightest little overbite. Something about it really appeals to me. <br /><br />And it's not always about teeth with me either - in fact, those are the only two "teeth" examples I can think of. <br /><br />But sometimes we'll find some little "imperfection" to be a real turn-on. Who knows why?! And I'll bet it's the same way with the women and their men. <br /><br />Ah, love and romance, ever mysterious!<br /><br /><i>>>...Susan Sarandon comment, though I may be mostly remembering her lithe young form from "Rocky Horror" and paying less attention to her face.</i><br /><br />Someone hit that woman with an UGLY STICK and she never recovered. (Of course, that's just this one man's opinion.)<br /><br />I didn't even remember that she was in "Rocky Horror", but then that's probably because I've been TRYING to forget that movie for a long time. I saw it only once (circa 1980), in an L.A. theatre, and I've been questioning my masculinity ever since!<br />;o)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

I was fascin...I am late to the comments, as usual. I was fascinated that almost all of your commenters were women this time. I think that this topic got all of your female friends considering which pedestal they were placed on in the west wing of StMc's "Emily Hall."<br /><br />As someone who dearly loves women, I have a couple of comments to make. First, I agree with your assessments of the women you posted photos of. Beautiful, yes. Pretty, yes. Etc.<br /><br />I disagree with your Susan Sarandon comment, though I may be mostly remembering her lithe young form from "Rocky Horror" and paying less attention to her face. It is her politics that totally turn me off.<br /><br />But there is more to this whole attraction and "beauty assessment" spectrum than can be explained. To me, the attraction to certain women (and probably this holds true for women's assessment of men, also) is like our attraction to music. Why do we like what we like?<br /><br />If you like any jazz, you will certainly like GREAT jazz, and virtually everyone listening to Brubeck or Miles Davis or John Coltrane will acknowledge that THAT is good jazz. Likewise, you'd have to be an utter ninny to not say that Claudia Cardinale is gorgeous. But with music we also may be very attracted to some obscure jazz artist that almost nobody thinks is particularly good. We DO think so, however.<br /><br />How do you explain it? Hell if I know. But I believe the same goes for beauty. I have friends that think their spouse is physically very attractive, yet I simply cannot see it. They are VERY wrong, to my eyes. But my eyes don't matter in this case, as some very loving eyes DO think they are lovely. And I mean physically, not just on the inside!<br /><br />So, all of you female readers of Stuffs: you ARE INDEED gorgeous... without question. Whether you are universally acknowledged as such doesn't matter (though I am NOT saying you aren't). You are regardless. The people that love you know it, and see it.Sheboyganboy 6noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557564794535751440.post-39782608343510987282012-02-13T19:38:08.545-08:002012-02-13T19:38:08.545-08:00JULIE ~
What a great comment! Thanks!
To not only...JULIE ~<br />What a great comment! Thanks!<br /><br />To not only reference a really good movie, but to also provide excellent dialogue illustrating a point, well, that's how you leave a "great comment"!<br /><br />You probably missed it, but not long ago I posted a blog bit pertaining to my all-time Top Ten favorite Sports movies.<br /><br />No, 'Bull Durham' (as much as I like it) did not make the list. But I did mention it while writing about Costner's "other" great baseball movie, 'Field Of Dreams'. Here's something I wrote:<br /><br /><i>Both of those excellent movies should be seen by all baseball fans and everyone else. And true, ‘Bull Durham’ contains some really classic scenes and lines of dialogue <b>[“So, is somebody going to go to bed with somebody, or what?”]</b>, but for my baseball movie money...make mine “mysterious”.</i><br /><br />One thing that would have improved 'Bull Durham', in my opinion, is a different female lead. I can barely even stand to look at Susan Sarandon. Not only do I NOT find her Beautiful, Pretty, Cute, or Sexy, but I actually think she borders on "Ugly". Those are not "big eyes"; those are "bug eyes"! <br /><br />However, your dialogue excerpt addresses something I (hopefully) made clear in my blog bit: Most women probably think that in a man's mind, "Pretty" trumps "Cute", and "Beautiful" trumps 'em both. NOT NECESSARILY SO! At least not to me, anyway (and I don't presume to speak for all or even most men).<br /><br />For example: In my blog bit, I said that Claudia Cardinale is both Beautiful AND Sexy - and she surely was! - while I said that Valerie Bertinelli was merely Cute, and "too Cute" to be Sexy. And yet, for a longterm (lifetime?) relationship, I would have selected Bertinelli over Cardinale.<br /><br />So, Beautiful, Pretty, and Sexy are not necessarily superior to just "Cute". <b>I <i>LOVE</i> "CUTE"!</b><br /><br /><i>>>..."Hot works in a pinch."</i><br /><br />Well, "Hot" usually LEADS to "a pinch" ...and "a pinch" sometimes leads to sex ...and sex too often leads to... <i><b>dancing!</b></i><br /><br />Best to avoid "Hot" altogether.<br />[;o)}<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'<br /><br />POSTSCRIPT: Thanks for the GREAT comment!Stephen T.

Well, I don't like being held to things I said two days ago, much less two years ago.<br /><br />But... in this blog bit I said Joan Jett had sex appeal! What, that's not good enough? Do you know how many women would give up their favorite eye shadow and lipstick to have sex appeal? <br /><br />But if I said you looked like Joan Jett, I was probably temporarily confusing Joan Jett with Gene Tierney. (How'z that for a recovery?)<br /><br />"Seriously", it's "funny" you mention my view of your appearance because I have a story to tell you. (THIS I'm SURE I've never told you before!)<br /><br />You came up in a conversation I was having last August with a good friend of mine. She said it was interesting how I often seemed to look so different in so many photographs despite the fact that my hair and general style didn't change much through the years.<br /><br />I have been described as looking like Jim Morrison (a long time ago!) A famous person once told me that I looked just like a younger version of his best friend, the actor John Savage. Someone once even said I looked like a young Jack Nicholson (WTF?!)<br /><br />So, I told my friend about YOU. I told her there was this woman I occasionally interact with on my blog whom I have seen at least 6, maybe 7 or 8 pictures of, and yet I still don't have the slightest idea what she looks like!<br /><br />You, Jessica, seem like a chameleon! If every picture I've ever seen of you was lined up before me, I'd probably find it difficult to believe that they all reprsented images of the SAME woman! <br /><br />You rarely seem to look the same way twice to me. So, if I said you looked like Joan Jett, that was probably true... at that one moment in time and in that one particular photo I was viewing. But had I seen a different picture of you ten minutes later, I probably would have named someone else instead.<br /><br /><i>What the hell <b>DO</b> you look like?
