What if I don't want power? What if I don't flaunt my appeal? If men find me attractive, then it's their fault. I'm honestly not even trying.

Quote

Alas your right it is our fault, half the time we men think with our erm...smaller head. Like have you ever noticed a drwing a MAN drew of a naked (or semi naked) woman? It often feels just, provocitive. however a woman can draw the female form, (and what a lovely form it is) and it has no hint of sujestivness it can feel beutiful, powerful and free, but it doesn't HAVE to feel so blatently sexual as when a man draws. of course i am sure (theoreticly) a man can draw a woman and it not feel sexual, but so far, all the images (on sites like elfwood.) DO.

Maybe your not trying to be provoctitve, but we guys we are very visual, our eyes seem to be the biggest part of our brain. of COURSE you should be an individual, its not your fault the guys our drooling, its ours.

Lo_res, those are some pretty tired stereotypes and generalizations....People aren't that way, there are plenty of male artists that can draw a female without hinting at sexaulity....

I personally always preffered artsy, intellectual type gals over the normal "Pretty" Girl. Maybe it's because I watched to many 80's movies where the nerdy chick lets her hair down and looks all super-hot, I don't know....

QuoteOkay, then if it were a woman who, say, was a better artist, or more intelligent, or whatever threatens you, would their attractiveness, to you, be hindered?

I'd say that's turn me on even more. I'd get to properly punish her in bed for being better than me in these respects. I meet a lot of women who are much better read than me, but very rarely those who have lots of things to say that I find 'new' and whose personality I find very charismatic. If that makes any sense. I'm hesitant to say 'smarter than me' because intelligence is so damn complicated...

I've been thinking about this lately, and it's dawning on me that maybe it's not very healthy, mentally, to let the norms dictate our behaviour. Of course there's a limit to how far we can go, but where is it drawn? Society today accepts certain things while deeming others as insane, completely unacceptable. Sure, we can't do whatever we want, but so many people seem to live a life they aren't happy with just because they limit themselves. Maybe it's the people's fault, really. I'm still thinking about it

i didn't day it was impossible i just said it is very difficult . call it a generization, call it human nature, from they way I have seen us guys work, its that deep down in us guys there is a horney little b*st*rd, clawing to get out Now the good news is most of us are able to repress that sucker and keep him under wraps. SExuality is one of the most powerfull forces in the facet of humen interaction, and the fact that we guys don't drop trow and howl at the moon is a good sign. I was describing the base side of man (not mankind) call it the id, call it the dark side. its the flip side of the human animal, it allows us to reproduce, to propetuate the species, but its a darn nucense the rest of the time. maybe i should review my views, in fact i will, thank you for bringing this to my attention, but I wasn't describing the whole of our being, just one part, I am sorry if I offened in anyway, anybody.

you offended the spelling police most of all. They're not the forgiving kind.

Not indefinately though. Just like a vacuum cleaner when it gets full, you're forced to empty the contents eventually, or it'll just 'burst' open when you least expect it.

Yuck. Seriously....

Just in response to something TIS said back there (Sorry, I'm too lazy to type your whole name out ^_^ and yet not so lazy to give a disclaimer about it!), I'm a smart, intelligent geek with so much personality it HURTS. But I love being sexy, I love being objectified sometimes, and I like objectifying others sometimes. I'm not a bimbo who only does things like shop for shoes and put on make-up (though I do both those things sometimes).

I wish I could objectify someone's brains out right now :/

EDIT: HA! What an appropriate turn of phrase.

Helm · Wed 15/02/2006 00:28:53

Kinoko aren't you engaged or something? What is your man doing?

And also, lots of personality can get pretty overbearing. Opinions can get pretty overbearing. Disrespecting the vital space you've set out with the other person by being overbearing can get pretty overbearing. Sometimes silence is sexy.

Kinoko · Wed 15/02/2006 00:42:33

Yeah, well I didn't say I didn't want to be objectifying him, did I? ^_-

The Inquisitive Stranger · Wed 15/02/2006 03:35:48

Well, great, now I feel even more abnormal.

I just hate how there's so much pressure on women to be sexy, but not so much for men. It's not fair.

Squinky · Wed 15/02/2006 03:38:52

I'm pretty sure my wife has lost interest in me physically as I have fattened with marriage. In fact, she's told me. So, I really think it does apply to both sexes in different fashions....

On this point, we're in full agreement. But I guess I just don't think that will change any time soon. It's to do with the fundamental differences in the sexes. Men ARE typically more visually-stimulated than women.

I guess, I like people who are comfortable enough with themselves and intelligent enough to know while it's fine to be sexy and whatnot in some situations, I don't want that kind of pressure when I'm hungover and eating old pizza the next morning in my old pyjamas, trying to clean the house so I can sit down and do my assignment for uni.

Or, say, if I were giving an exceptionally intelligent debate at a book club. I don't want any wolf whistles or "turn that page, baby!"s thrown my way. Still that... that would never happen for many reasons @_@

There's a time and place for sexiness, there's a time and place for "christ, go get a cold shower, I have stuff to do".

DGMacphee · Wed 15/02/2006 08:48:08

I don't know what all you are complaining about. Guys can be VERY sexy to girls thanks to nature's secret weapon.... PHEROMONES
Invisible, odorless, and undetectable, when unknowingly inhaled
by any adult woman, Androstenone Pheromone Concentrate unblocks
all restraints and releases her raw animal sex drive! Scientists have
isolated the natural Human male Pheromone attractants and they
are NOW available legally to YOU!

email me to find out more

Vince Twelve · Wed 15/02/2006 09:19:32

A scent that makes women sexual beasts? That's nuts!

Ring tones on the other hand (or Pherotones as they're more commonly known)... now those are real turn ons.

esper · Wed 15/02/2006 09:32:07

Ummm....

"As seen on WEB?" What the hell does that mean? I'm seeing it on the web right now!

That's like saying "Eat ESPER flakes! Brand new cereal you've ONLY JUST NOW HEARD ABOUT!!!!"

SSH · Wed 15/02/2006 11:28:52

If you look at the example video, esper, you might get it

DGMacphee · Wed 15/02/2006 11:36:39

The italics part means you'll have sex, esper.

esper · Wed 15/02/2006 12:07:20

Just by reading that web page? HOT DOG!
