You are pretty much the most interesting and memorable SDMB poster I’ve ever come across, and I kind of love you for that. ---

Clavicles kind of creep me out. I think of them as this exposed, protruding part that people could grab and snap and then I get ooged out. ---

The lady in the linked pic is certainly attractive, though I’m not sure how much her clavicles have to do with it. And it doesn’t look like she’s all that gaunt, either, though of course that’d be easier to judge with a full-body shot. So, yeah, you’re weird, but we all figured that out long ago. At most, I’m a bit surprised, in that you and I seem to mostly have similar tastes in women, but I don’t think I’ve ever found clavicles anything other than neutral. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > The lady in the linked pic is certainly attractive, though I’m not sure how much her clavicles have to do with it. Of course I found that pic by googling _hot clavicle girl_, but if I’d come across it while idly surfing, it would have been the clavicles that got my attention. > [@](#): > > And it doesn’t look like she’s all that gaunt, either, though of course that’d be easier to judge with a full-body shot. Well, I don’t find gauntness attractive, clavicles or no (unless coupled with hellacious intelligence, anyway). But many gaunt women have prominent clavicles, and I can recall hearing persons complain that the American societal push towards feminine ultra-thiness (read: the likes of Keira Knightley) is part of the reason some guys like such things. I wanted to acknowledge that criticism. > [@](#): > > So, yeah, you’re weird, but we all figured that out long ago. > > At most, I’m a bit surprised, in that you and I seem to mostly have similar tastes in women, but I don’t think I’ve ever found clavicles anything other than neutral. Well, you’re a physicist. Physicists are 'flicted. ---

> [@rachelellogram](#): > > Conflicted, or afflicted? 😛 Northerners everywhere. :: shudders :: _'Flicted_ is black Southern slang for _t_ouched in the head. It’s probably short for _afflicted_ but I don’t have my books with me and one of the Rhymer Rules prohibits me trusting anything on the Internet. ---

Eccentric is white Northerner for 'flicted. You’d know this if you’d gone to a real college. ---

As I’ve mentioned in other threads, I’m attracted to guys who are very thin. So it’s not only the clavicles, but also those bumps in the chest where the ribs meet the sternum. And then, farther down, the ribs themselves. ---

Gay woman here who TOTALLY agrees with clavicle hotness. I thought this was universal? What’s wrong with everyone?? Oh well, more clavicle beauties for me, I guess. (PS I don’t associate it with skinny, just fit and feminine. If your clavicles have vanished, you is fat) ---
