That's OK Beagle, you did bring some levity to a frustrating and busy morning. Besides, it is fun watching you get the women mixed up. And I think we both have that evil streak.
And don't be draggin' me into the whole thong debacle. Our Friday banter was very G rated. We only discussed Parabeagle's Spongebob tie and my son's Spongebob undies, and how stunning they are. I am stunned by my children every time I look into their huge eyes.
I was in the fetal position on my couch all day saturday, intense side ache, feverish, vomiting, the whole bit(turned out to be gallstones - have to schedule surgery), and my two sweet little babies got in my face and said "are you going to be OK, mommy? You will be OK, mommy. Are you a little bit sick, mommy? I'm sick too mommy." They made the whole thing more bearable.
But I think I would find a Spongebob thong pretty humorous, if not stunning. Thongs on men scare me.
Geez, gone a day & Parabeagle's going on and on about his spongebob thong thing & Ray's egg'n him on. Weird, very weird.
Paul - As one of the folks that thought from the beginning that Andrew was definite 'eye candy' I have to say that initially it is physical beauty that catches my attention. However, over time, just as over the episodes, the idea that beauty can fade I think is directly linked to the person's personality & leadership/style. Over the episodes, Andrew became less and less attractive based on his decision making process & choice of words & choice of colleagues. Conversely, Rupert, for his loyalty displayed so far, comes out looking like a prince. Decidedly not attractive on first, second (okay third and fourth too x;-)) glance, but becomes highly attractive after you see what he's made of. Once again showing me that too much can be made of first impressions & it's the 'walk' I'm more interested in than the 'talk'.
You are right! And I must admit, as a heterosexual male, I have to say that Andrew was a pretty handsome guy. I have Billybob teeth and a hawknose but other than that I am mostly symmetrical.
Overall I think women are more likely to base attractiveness on non-physical qualities than men. That's the only way to explain the appeal of Humphrey Bogart.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. you guys know that. But we can't have it all so therefore we pick what we like in a "pretty face" I agree men think about physical appeareance more so. I actually like a man over 200lb. At least 5'9 or taller. So all you guys on the atkins trying to be a buck fifty. Forget about it!! That was high school so many years back.
I couldn't agree with you more! My husband, the love of my life, is 5'10" and over 350 pounds - definitely an eye-catcher (he's hard to miss even in a crowd). He is intelligent, funny, articulate, empathetic - and I have no idea whether he's got symmetrical facial features. It wouldn't occur to me to care!
Meanwhile, I'm unattractive by definition, I guess - the right side of my face has always been more "relaxed" than the left, so I constantly look like I've got one eyebrow raised.
Isn't it funny - I'm really quick to point out my own physical shortcomings, but almost oblivious to whether another person is visually attractive!
