Page 5 and we haven’t heard from the Founding Fathers? Need to fix that. Here’s George Washington to his wife’s granddaughter on her engagement:
-Ron Chernow’s biography, “Washington”, p. 102.
There you have it, advice from a Real American[sup]tm[/sup].
Huh, I thought Ben Franklin was the go-to guy for relationship advice.
Relationship advice, no. Advice on getting laid? Oh hells yes.
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Apropos of nothing, I just watched mast night’s Daily Show.
Oh my ghod, I so very much want Kristen Schaal.
.
She ain’t bad. Hell, I kinda want Sarah Vowell.
That is unfortunate. Being a guy and hanging around with guys quite a bit, I am grateful that I have never experienced this. Certainly experienced the “hot or not hot” discussions. And the “did you see the size of her cans?” type comments, but never been a party to an in depth anatomical grading session.
Women probably aren’t as focused on appearance as men, but they can be pretty critical of guys hairlines, musculature, clothes and height.
When I was a baby my mother took me on a bus. The bus driver says: “That’s the ugliest baby that I’ve ever seen.” Mum goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!” The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”
EXACTLY !! I so rarely stir the pot unless it is a thread on pedophiles.
I don’t talk like that. Like that post. And to be blunt, I think that way rarely but I do. Any adult- male or female- who would deny ever having a coarse thought regarding attraction is an utter liar.
I like women built differently than Angie. If I knew her soul and loved her soul - and apparently Brad does and does - then perhaps her sharp edges and concave cheeks would light me up. I do not, and surely they do not.
The truth? It takes one moment of beautiful gesture to make beauty appear.
I see women carry themselves with the same poise and grace walking to the subway that Angie displays on the Red Carpet™. Has little to do with mooovie star. Everything to do with how you see yourself. I don’t see a lot of beauty and physical appeal- in MY brain’s way of seeing it- when I look at Angie.
In the biggest way of course, YMMV.
Well said, and exactly why I was coarsely blunt in my comment. Look, I’m wired the way I am just as everyone has different wiring. Angie looks like a Barbie Doll. That comes with a whole fuckload of social programming, and I do believe that the Barbie Doll Body thread has been done here before. There’s a scale. But I do feel it is an internal scale - we ALL have a scale.
At the dawn of my career when life was in B&W, I worked as a P.A. for a woman built exactly like Angie. The rare real Barbie figure. Long legs down to there. Narrow but curved hips. No fat at waist. D cup. Long luxurious thick dark hair. Stunning face. Amazing eyes. Full soft lips.
Guys on the crew who were new, or outsiders ( deliver people, etc ) uniformly tried to run over her or just plain ignore her or treat her like shit. Because of the visual first impression. Pigs.
Who was she? A strong deeply brilliant fast moving clever humorous woman who was the Producer to a killer famous commercial director. She treated her crews with respect as long as they returned the gesture. Those who Barbie-fied her? Oh, woe to them. She didn’t bitch them out. She simply reminded them that the respect she was showing them was due back.
Very few kept up a snotty sexist attitude for very long. She was a pro, and treated even the lowly young Cartooniverse with respect. So, Arlene, here’s to you. 
When I see Angelina or anyone of either gender who appears to have removed things from their body to look the way they do, I envision a small pile of body parts on a table next to them. " Look at how FAAABULOUS Angelina looks !! She’s wearing Ferragammo Gnocci of course, and there’s the table full of molars, ribs, body fat and ganglia she’s had removed and my god she looks just FAAABULOUS ! "
See the thread about “I hate it when people say my penis must be small because I drive a hot car.” Women might not comment about every part of a guy’s body, but we’re just as critical in other ways, I think.
Dang you - I just got that song out of my head!
I laughed way too much at this.
Women are from Washington, men are from Franklin?
At least you don’t have to look at it!

Huh? Making a small penis joke about someone’s car isn’t even a comment on their body, it’s a joke based on a stereotype. Making a small penis joke about a guy after sleeping with him would be, but you’re talking about something totally different.
It’s weird that people keep responding to what Cartooniverse said by coming up with examples of women saying things that don’t even resemble what he said.
I’m saying that women might not criticize a man’s looks the way men criticize women, but we criticize other things.
Okay? I don’t see why criticizing someone’s choice to buy an expensive car is equivalent to calling someone “emaciated” because she is thinner than he prefers. And unless you think they are equivalent, I don’t get the point of bringing it up.
You saw this topic laugh out loud? I should really turn the sound up on my computer…
