I think Maureen and Storm both had interesting and insightful points in their posts.
@ "Beach Day"!
ak, what was in that link you posted? Because my work firewall just blocked it, saying it was pornographic. They keep records of these things . . .
quote:And how exactly does this differ from men watching women. How many men do you know who like to unattractive women scantilly clad?
I think the point is that men will put up with seeing unattractive women scantily clad in exchange for seeing attractive women also scantily clad.
Interesting point about the stumulus thing, even with Storm's caveat. I'm as un-shallow as they come, but I know that certain visual stimuli just drive me to distraction. And fashion seems to be working harder and harder to capitalize on this, which is both good and bad.
lol @ Olivet!

You're crazy.

I never thought I was a leg guy until I went to college and met women's soccer players. *sigh* Posts: 13680 | Registered: Mar 2002

Actually, Storm, that's more or less what I said (minus the bit about smell) the first time I linked that article, and I was soundly flamed for it. Course, I was posting as "Dwayne" at the time. And being a bit of a jerk.
quote: Does ANYONE here like men with long hair and leather?
I like this, but I'm not sure if it's actually a preference, or if I just like it because my hubby has long hair and looks so hot in a leather jacket. But he's pretty tall, and I think that figures in with the "image"...he can pull off "Native-American model" and avoid "biker" which I think has a horrible stigma attached.
But if a hot guy is on a bike...so much the better.
Heck, who cares. If a guy is hot, does it matter what he's wearing, as long as it's clean?

Maureen, I wish all women thought that way. My girlfriend is always ragging me on my lack of fashion "taste" because hers is different than mine.

Nick, I never give my husband fashion advice unless he asks for it...which is rare. But when he does, I lay it on him. I tell him exactly what I think about what looks good, and then I let him decide. He often chooses to incorporate my suggestions into his wardrobe, if only because I have taste and he knows it. But if he ever wants to wear something that is strange (by which I mean, strange to me), I don't care. I think the strange things that I would never have approved of initially are the things that make him so cool...and hot.
For instance, he wears tabi boots. (You know, those old-fashioned Japanese shoes with a special compartment for the big toe.) He just likes them. I used to think they were weird, but I've really grown to think they are cool!
Guys...do your own thang! (No out-of-context jokes, please.)

Icky, you're joking! That was a site (no pictures) for this political movement which some women have to be allowed to wear no shirt or top in similar situations that it's acceptable for men to do so. They go way out of their way to make sure they aren't associated with anything pornographic. I checked the site to be sure it was kosher before linking it. Once again, there are no pictures. I think maybe it says "we don't say topless because we don't like the associations of that word". Could the word 'topless' trigger an anti-porn filter somehow? Wow, if you get fired at work I'll feel really bad! It was rather a silly thing. You should know you can trust me not to link to anything scandalous.

A good smile, eyes that twinkle, a strong jaw line and thick blond hair have always my first choice, but strangly I've found quite a few attractive who don't match those criteria.
Beyond that, I love to look at mens legs. Bike racers always have great legs and really cute buts.
I like to see muscle definition, but really don't like the weight lifter look. There is a really different look to a body built doing real world things and a body that is made in a gym. The serious weight lifters have too much muscle that can't be used for anything but pumping iron. In my mind they look like mutants.

I agree, Rabbit. You have described my personal preferences exactly, which is interesting, too.
Who was it mentioned smell? I thought about this, and it reminded me of this friend of mine in High school. He was an American scion of some old Scottish nobility-- flaming red hair, paper-pale skin, great sense of humor. I loved him dearly-- he was one of my best friends.
I liked him a lot, and he was frankly in love with me. I just... when he was close to me, even fresh from a shower, he smelled funny. Not bad, mind you. But his smell just shut down whatever part of your brain it is that sparks sexual interest. Despite him being attractive and cool and funny, no spark for me. Not EVER. And I really tried, with the smoochies and stuff, but it just didn't work.
It makes me wonder about phermones. I mean, did something about his smell scream, "Your children will be mutants"?

Let's see: strong chin, good hair, muscular build, broad chest, good legs, firm butt... sigh. I'll have to get by with the sense of humor again.

Not busting on Icarus for a typo, I actually started wondering what "stumulous" meant. Maybe something that stimulates you even if you don't want it to, like involuntarily looking down an old lady's top before you can stop yourself.
