LOL@Rob!
How many awards do you have, and what was that one for (Best pirate boob joke in a general discussion thread?).

I'll bet you get all kinds of action with that moustache and headscarf - all the woman will be salivating over Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp, so maybe piracy is the way to go.

Blondes are definately higher maintenance - higher maintenance on themselves too though. They seem to spend hours a day on their hair alone. Imagine going out with a surfer, must spend half the night getting every last grain of sand outta her hair!. Gotta love blondes though - especially when they don't play on the dumb blonde thing or let it get to them.

Rob, I feel your pain - my GF's a massive Angel fan, so there's posters and calenders and crap all over the walls in our house. It's pretty cool though, 'cos I can drool over Cordelia (sp?) for a couple of months a year .

If you think about it though, there's far more male sex symbols than female these days. Most female stars are not that sexy, attractive yes, but that isn't enough.

Van-B's list of top 5 sexy honeys:

1. Jessica Alba (Dark Angel series [but you gotta watch Idle Hands])
2. Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider)
3. Carmen Electra (Baseketball)
4. Drew Barrymore (Charlies Angels)
5. Kristanna Loken (T3)

1) The actual amoubt of female gamers are almost equal to male gamers, the reason for all the eye candies is the fact guys will actually fall for it, don't know about you but just cuz it have "girl" stuff on the cover doesn't mean jack (notice how well those cursed Full House twins games are selling).

2) I don't find any model/movie star/music pop idol attrative (except this one Pic of Ayumi Hamesaki with short black hair, I hate it whe she dyed it tan). Personally I find personallity far more influential on me determing if someone is attactive. If they are shallow or megalomaniacal the look plain and boring, like they are trying desperatly to look like what they think is beautiful. Those that act with humility and/or intellegance gain may attention far better than any media pig in a dress that couldn't cover a microwave safe dish.

3)Anti-femiinisim (I know, old news from page 2) means I disaprove of the hardcore feminist mindset that all men are evil and the only way to smite them is to engade in the very acts that make them so bad. I will never have an 'anti' attitude to any person, only ideas and/or establishments. Kinda like my Anti-Christianity stance, I got nothing against Chirstains (unless they are the closedminded, "you burn in hell cuz you don't beleave in my faction of Chirstainity" Chirstain, that I can't stand),but I despise the orginization that has used the word of God to start thousands of immoral acts against thier fellow man. Remember kids, like the individual, hate the establishments. That being said I think I'm string up a whole other ball of wax, so I'll stop here.

Ooo, this discussion is getting interesting.

On point (1), how can this possibly be true? I don't know any women that play games. In this games programming forum their are only a few women. You go into a game shop, and it's at least 10-1 men to women, and the women are generally on the arm of some bloke. Maybe it's just the UK with no women playing games.

On point (2), I agree the TV can't portray how attractive people are IRL. I'm generally not overly attracted to people on TV, but I guarentee if you met some of those good looking women from TV in real life, and they were down to earth, you'd be drooling. I'm all for the whole package me - I wouldn't kid myself by telling myself "its all about the personality", because that just isn't the case. It's very important. You can't have a relationship with a AAA glamour model if the personality sends you to sleep, but god damn it, you'd be stupid not to try!

I personally only go for the whole package. I won't go out with someone with a face like a slapped arse, no matter how good their personality is, and there's nothing wrong with that. People think it's "wrong" to go for people based on look. That's utter gob-shite! What gives anyone the right to say "personality" is a more important attribute than "sexual attractiveness", for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? So some people see beauty in personality, and some see beauty in shape and appearance.

The truth is, someone with a great personality is gonna keep you a happier man in the long run, than someone with a great pair of tits, so people who go out with people purely for looks, and don't give mr or mrs personality a chance ... well, at the end of the day, they're the ones losing out. But I personaly think, people should have the right to rank looks over personality, if thats the sort of person they are. And they're not shallow - they're just not smart. They'll learn eventually.

And don't forget, good looking women can have great personalities too. So at least those supposedly "shallow" people might eventually get the best of both worlds. Also, men especially are often jealous of other guys who can pull good looking women, cos they can't do it themselves. And they make up all these excuses in their heads, and convince themselves its because personality is more important. That's bollocks! But it's understandable too.

What you have to do is enjoy the way someone looks. Enjoy the way someone is shaped. Enjoy someones sense of humour and personality. And so long as there're enough of each of those attributes to make you happy, no matter in what quantity, and that person likes you, then go for it. If the good looking women want good looking men, and you dont quality, then unfortunately that's just the way it is. It's not shallow, or cruel. It's human, and it just shows life is unfair.

As for point (3), once again I agree. Hate the institutions, if you have to hate anyone. Only hate the individual if the institution rules their life - and never hate them as a group. Take time to get to know them as individuals, so you can hate them all differing amounts. lol

Fallout, for the most part I agree. Most attactive women I know aren't shallow and have decent personalities, the ones that do bug the hell out of me. As you said, it isn't wrong to want an attractive women, hell it's only natural. We've evolved to find a good mate, thus when we find someone that would be a good mate, they appear attactive. I find personality more attactive than looks on average because my mind is more useful than my body, thus subconsciously I want to find a mate so we complment each others attributes, thus producing the most powerful offspring as we can.

Yeah, I get you arrow. Makes sense. Must admit, last year I was lucky/unlucky enough to live in a house with 3 very nice looking ladies.
One of them took the whole year to get to know very well, and even then I didn't spend much time talking to her. She was a typical example of a gorgeous lady with a bit of a static personality (she was nice and friendly, but took a lot of effort to hold a conversation with).
One of the others was an ex-glamour model (I shit you not) and was one of those women that has the looks, the body, and the personality. I got on with her really well, she was really flirtatious, up for any sort of humour, into us chilling out and watching movies together, as well as going out and getting wasted. But, the downside was that I don't think I ever had a chance with her, even though we got really close, and secondly, being the scarily good package she actually was, she did go through blokes pretty quickly. Three in this one year I lived with her. Now, to me, that's a sign. Even if she did go for me as more than a friend, how long would it last? (Might still we worth a go though )
The last one was a cracker. She was the least good looking of the lot, but was still a real looker. I could never figure her out properly, because she was genuinely lovely, really easy to get on with and have a great laugh with. Shame her boyfriend was living with us too, but hey ... But she was the typical example of miss personality, coupled with good looks etc. I definitely would've done! That's all I can say.

Don't know what it is about women. They're more extreme than blokes, and the age old saying of "good looking women have it easy, so blah blah blah" isn't really true. I'd say in my experience most of the good looking ones are just as nice, funny, etc as the less good looking ones. I think it's mainly when you're kids that girls act according to their looks, but from 18 onwards really, as people really start to mature, that all changes.

Anyway, all three of those women owe me money for the last electricity bill I paid before we moved out, so time to make some damn calls!

This is a stupid thread. IMO !!!

Well just for the record...I'm a Senior Software Engineer Consultant in the IT Industry. In the companies that I've worked with nearly half of the staff were female programmers. And they really delivered their work. In fact I found their work more of a higher standard than men. Although I never gave it a thought. How pathetic that one would feel intimidated with working with a female college.

Also I've worked with one Woman who was my Project Manager! We also immediately clicked and became the best of friends...in fact it was a little bit more than that. We still are. In fact numerous women in my experience were female project managers.

And you people are telling me that women do not have the intellegence to work with computers or program, etc. Dudes you are living on a planet all of your own! LOL! Mind you I can't talk you see I dreamt about planet Mars the other day so join me there if you wish.

I think it comes down to the lack of:

1. Respect for women.
2. That some men are totally devoid of the faintest spark of intelligence.

Another pathetic issues I see with some blokes is that they do not like dating women who are taller then them. Well I think is is yet another inferriority complex in some men - its an ego thing.

Well I chose to be different and my project manager above was taller than me but I never gave it a thought. The same goes about dating a women who is older than a man. What's the big fecking deal!!!!!

Nah. It comes down to the fact that the people dissing women are kids.

Girls can't box. Have you ever seen women boxers? I don't doubt they're hard, and they may well kick the crap out of me, but they look rediculous and they have the technical skills of a quadreplegic gerbil with syphillis.

Nope, leave the boxing to the blokes - that's what I say.

@Liquidz Snake: I agree, they went a little overboard there, but the fighting kicks ass, they just need bigger life bars, even on max, the battles are far too short. Honestly, my and me friend recorded our matches (also on Smash Bros Melee, AGH! I banged my knee).

Why are men more intelligent during sex?

Cause they are plugged into a woman!

Could also explain gay men!



Anyways as for woman boxers.... we have more sense than to want to get our heads beat in until we are brain dead!!
