** AudreyK: ** I am sorry to inform you that you don’t exist.
Attractive single females complaining about not being able to find a guy w/ glasses are a statistical impossibility.
Thanks Audrey for the sympathy (if that’s how you meant it - if not then :P). It’s been awhile but every once in awhile she flashes into the mind and I wonder what’s she doing at that moment. sigh
/maudlin hijack
And Popokis5… I thought it went without saying that Aussie guys bring out the OMG in even the fiercest of hearts. 
Myrr21, I do TOO exist. You’re just scared of me cuz of what I wrote in this thread. Wuss! 
dpr, that is indeed sympathy. But you know, part of me thinks that if we’re lucky enough, we’ll have someone to be wistful over. And someone who feels that way for us.
Aww dammit, I’m just a hopeless romantic.
No no no. OK, well I * am * still scared of you for the aforementioned reason, but that’s another issue…
You see, the fact remains that attractive single females who complain about not being able to find a tall guy with glasses make up exactly 0% of the population. Believe me, I’ve looked. So this inevitibly leads me to the conclusion that you simply don’t exist. Sorry to break it to you like this, but you’ve gone the way of the bright pink elephant.
My brother-in-law is Filipino/Hawaiian. My sister is a Jewish-German-Swedish-Finnish mixed breed. My niece is without a doubt the cutest 4-year-old on this or any other planet–brown skin, high cheekbones, big dark brown eyes, long brown hair and a little bitty nose. She looks just like her father, except much cuter.
Her name is Erika Ke’alohilani…
I love saying that.
Don’t worry Audrey, you’ll always exist in my dreams
xizor, thank you. One night, remind me to do a striptease for you. Atop the pink unicorn, if you like.
Myrr21, I like glasses geeks. Did you really look hard? Admittedly it’s not something most girls would freely advertise liking, but I know at least a couple other girls who like glasses. I think it makes guys look scholarly. See, now all you have to do is get over your fear of me…
Ceejaytee, your niece does have a beautiful name. I like shorter Hawaiian names, especially ones with lani in it.
Back when I worked at a preschool, there was a little boy named Michael Hoffman. He was part caucasian, part Hawaiian, and part Japanese. He had tan skin and brown hair, and the biggest, brownest round eyes I have ever seen. I know what you mean about cute Hawaii kids!
If Audrey doesn’t exist, then I’d like to know exactly what the hell I’ve been flirting with these past two weeks!?!?!
Myrr21, if you’re going to accuse me of flirting with bright pink elephants, I’m gonna have to ask you to step outside!
On the other hand, if Audrey keeps talking about such emasculating subjects as hitting below the belt or “little soldiers”, then there ain’t gonna be much more flirting…
Re the OP: I think Hawaiians are no more or less beautiful people than many other places.
Then again, I’m an unabashed Los Angeles apologist.
Fine, fine, I’ll go back to saying nice, safe, suggestive things.
I’ve always held the belief that if you give the gene pool a good mix you get better looking people - some day I’ll post my son’s picture and prove my point - but the cutness factor at this juncture is so high all business on the internet would grind to a halt as everyone gazed at the perfect child adoringly. So I’m a mom, so shoot me.
Somehow, ** AudreyK ** is converting me to the fact that she exists. Now that I think about it, a female friend did help me choose my current pair…
…but ** DRY, ** I’m still going to accuse you of flirting with bright pink elephants, mostly because the image amuses me
:xizor quietly leaves with AudreyK while Myrr21 and DRY are fighting…
If that’s so, I can think of a few places where the water’s gone stagnant… Okay, okay, that was mean… I’m sorry…
As if attractiveness being subjective wasn’t bad enough, it’s is also relative. When I worked at McD’s a few years ago, there was one guy there named Ken, and I thought he was sooo cute. The fascination persisted until I quit. Later, I saw him wandering around UH, and a funny thing occurred to me: he wasn’t as cute anymore. Evidently, while I was checking him out, I didn’t realize that the alternative would have meant me flirting with 65 year-old Filipino men. Great. Of course, he’s not an ugly guy, he’s just an average guy. But it’s all relative.
:whispers: xizor, don’t you wanna see who wins?
AudreyK:
This is a shameless hijack, but AudreyK, did you work at the big two-story McD’s in Kalihi, on the makai side of Nimitz Highway? Just a hunch. When I lived on Oahu I ate 50% or more of my meals there.
I’ll double the survey size:
Did you work at the Aina Haina McDonald’s? I ate many meals there. But when I was in Hawaii you would have just been starting at UH so it probably doesn’t matter.
Well, I’ll win obviously. You see, he’s still flirting with said imaginary fluorescent elephant. I shall simply sneak up behind him and release a swarm of carniverous mice. Now, anybody know where I can get a hungry swarm of carniverous mice? It’s getting harder and harder to find a good swarm; stupid EPA regulations.
** Xizor: ** (in booming voice of God) I see you over there!!
Rats, I’ve been caught, <thinking quickly> Uh, Myrr21, DRY, meet my friend Harvey!
That oughta buy me some time. Now, where did Audrey wander off to…
Hey, Harvey doesn’t happen to resemble a six-foot invisible rabbit, does he? I didn’t know there were any pookha around anymore. How ya doing? Hmm, that’s good.
Damn, where * did * that little whippersnapper scamper off to?
Your current pair…of…??
Oh my, talk about P-whipped… 
Hey, where are you going with that humungous pink elephant?
A** shameless hijack**?? In THIS thread? You don’t say!
By the way, sorry I abandoned this thread so long. When I haven’t visited here in a time you can assume I’m:
- working and not on the SDMB
- Flirting in another thread
- sleeping
It’s mean, but oh so true. I tell my husband every day that he should be thankful that he had the good sense to marry me and put some fresh genes in his pool. Not that he’s literally inbred or anything…but, damn there are some godawful ugly people in that family. Yes, I am shallow, but I spent my whole pregancy scared to death that my kid would look like my mother in law. Ewwww.
BTW, my husband is quite good-looking.
:::Trying desperatly to get this conversation back on track:::
You know, I was wondering about this the other day. You know how almost all white and black americans are a bit muttish. You know, very few people are “pure” Irish, or Gambian or English? Esp. if the family has been here a long time. I was wondering if that is why I can tell, with 95% accuracy, which people walking down the street are American and which are European. They really do look different. It’s not just the clothes or posture, the faces are a lot different.
Taking this further, I’m wondering if that is why there are a lot of gorgeous Europeans but also a whole lot of really, really ugly ones. When they are beautiful they are stunning, but when they are ugly, they are very, very ugly. Americans seem more averagely attractive, not as many stunners, but not as many dogs either. Or maybe this is just me. It often is.
Audrey, I forgot to tell you that my brother, besides being tall and spoiled also looks like a Eurasian Elvis. We don’t know how that happened either. He looks almost exactly like young Elvis, very odd. He also has has extremely thick hair that sticks out like an Asian afro until it gets to be about 7 inches and collapses. He likes it that way.
I guess there is no hope of you becoming my sister now, is there?
