Spring seems to have come … I mean arrived … early, lots of love talk down here in Mundane Babble.
To continue with this trend, what normally non-sexual items or actions leave you feeling charged?
I’ll start;
(1) Women’s black leather knee high boots,
(2) Those oversized belts that were so popular in the 80s, and
(3) Women applying makeup
Uuuummmm… fetish’s? Chileans… the guys in Chile are all ugly… and the women, they need a guy like me . Plus they got the whole lips, hips. bum and sex accent thing going on…
Aside from that… ummm… no extreme fetish’s… i like all type of woman when it comes to sex, nationality doesnt matter, race doesnt matter, hair colour doesnt matter, age does matter to a certain extent (no grannies, no children)
As in the female with the prodigous flotation devices that used to be in my avatar? No, not at all. I hate idiotic slaggy women as much as I hate idiotic slaggy men. Anyone who has to wave their sexuality all over the place just to get noticed clearly doesn’t have a particularly matured sexuality in my book and as such I find it very hard to find them attractive.
I’m more a Grace Kelly sort of guy. I don’t mean that I am similar to Grace Kelly but that her ‘type’ of woman is the kind I tend to most appreciate…
women with delicate, gentle, refined facial features, who dress and act like late 19 th century upper class English aristocrats, with wit and humour. What Oscar Wilde would have been, had he been born a woman.
women with delicate, gentle, refined facial fatures, who recite poetry from Eminescu, the national poet, in somewhat a non-ostentatious interpretation - a bit detached and showing that there is more to say han meets the eye . That is to say, who go easy on the pathos and dramaticness, leaving place for a small amount of mystery.
women with delicate, distinguished, refined, features, white skin, non-violent attitude, who answer your questions boldly, dressing up in/ impersonating/ acting like a Greek goddess.
Heh… I couldn’t help noticing on a more attentive read how all the descriptions in this thread seem to follow somewhat of a slight pattern. For that, I think this is a wonderfully expressive thread - it would make the psychological profile evaluators wipe their glasses, really. Somewhere, under the mundane veneer, there lies the key to man’s standard for opposite sex bonding; it illustrates in a way the norms by which men judge women and how they think that women should be like - not only in appearance, but in attitude also.
For instance, Quizkid:
What does this suggest ? I’d say that you tend to judge women predominantly by their physical appearance, rather than how they entertain you mentally. All three of your observations speak for mostly one thing: fashion, in different stances, is the spice that enhances a woman’s attractiveness and appeal.
SIATD, on the other hand, likes gals that:
Which suggests, I don’t claim to be completely true, a more animated view on his side. He likes a woman who keeps his interest alive through skillful conversation and the pretense of intelecualism, while gently letting the balance incline in his favour. I doubt that SIATD would accept to get involved with someone who, theoretically, has an upper hand on him in matters of cultural pluralism. He likes his ladies bright, intelligent, but somewhere that only comes near to his own mental capabilities - women who are his inferior, in a discrete and veiled, but also confirmed, manner.
Mentat monkey has a wider approach:
The bun is, in my opinion, a sign of an attempt to borrow a sophisticated look, which is kind of a surprise, considering the other 3 points. Women who chew pencils may still be a sign of pensiveness, thus revealing a deeper interest, but nudist acrobats and silly women clearly show a playful and more superficial preference.
I won’t venture into Gobbo’s list. I understand that women on tramoplines is a reference to a TV show, which I am not acquainted with.
Everyone likes a woman who is funny, it just depends on how far does the humour go. I wouldn’t approve of a woman making trivial, vulgar or explicit jokes, or endlessly reapeating words like “fuck” or the likes.
As I know that you like basketball, a woman being a good player must be seen as a challenge, a competition.
This being said, vive les pretty women and the Greek British Romanian poem lady reciters.
Ah, you make the fatal flaw that I was expecting, and one that is of course implied by what I said. I don’t want ‘my women’ to be inferior, I want them to be able to flatter. Have you ever let someone win a battle of wills just because you wanted them to feel beautiful? That’s what I’m talking about, and I consider it a sign of superiority rather than the opposite. I don’t want the balance (general or otherwise) to incline in my favour, I want someone willful and intelligent enough to be able to tie the argument in a not then show me the way out just to be nice. Someone who beats you up then takes you out for a drink afterwards, to paraphrase “Dazed and Confused”
Besides, all relations of intellectual inferiority/superiority are subject to review at any given moment. 10 minutes before Derrida stood up in the lecture hall and announced the death of structuralism he was just another imaginative student and teacher who hadn’t even got his doctoral degree, when he demonstrated that what Foucault was doing involved a new dynamic, that in writing about the division between rationality and insanity one partakes of both, unavoidably, that this could not be called structuralism anymore, he reset the balance, he ‘owned’ Foucault. I have a dislike of that expression.
As such, with regard to my (Swiss Tony) love of the beautiful women I want to you to appreciate that just as I ‘concede’ (though I’m not really talking about competition, as such) at times when I happen to be in possession of a superior argument I like to know that she’d do the same.
Save me from amateur therapist! Oh, well, maybe true, maybe not.
Still, has the therapist in you noticed the contrast that you offered between my apparent physical predilection and your mental one?
Does this in fact reveal an insecurity, a need to show yourself as a cerebral type, to prove that even in your desires you are a thinker through and through? In short, a need to prove yourself, to show that you are not unworthy?
PS If you haven’t, read Roland Barthes on fashion. I found it very enlightening
