My entry remains blank now, but in my single days: Helen Hunt She has always fascinated me. And I guess I have to include Leelee Sobieski, because, quite frankly, she looks just like Helen Hunt did. ---

I would never pay for sex, period. Well I _did_ pay for a vibrator, but that is different. Isn’t it? ---

According to Hollywood gossip, (and TV’s Family Guy) Helen Hunt is looking for someone with different “equipment” than what you would bring to the party… Of course this is all hypothetical, so I am sure that once she saw your $125, all systems would be go!!! (I wonder what Jane Leeves’ rates would run?) ---

I’d never pay for sex, I don’t think. I have said this before, but I’d probably pay for a gigolo; that is, someone to wine me and dine me and take me to the best places, places I couldn’t get into myself or didn’t know how to, took me dancing, and to museums, and stuff like that. This would most likely be a long-term arrangement. Sex would hopefully be part of it, so he’d better be a stud. ---

All men end up paying for sex, one way or another. ---

She’s had several boyfriends, one husband and one daughter. So if she’s a lesbian, she’s working pretty hard at pretending otherwise. Honestly, I suspect rumors of her homosexuality are just due to her voice coming off as kinda mannish. ---

> [@Simplicio](#): > > Honestly, I suspect rumors of her homosexuality are just due to her voice coming off as kinda mannish. I don’t think I had ever heard those rumors myself either, until I began reading the SDMB a few years back. (It was after that when I saw the Family Guy reference) For the record, I always thought she was pretty attractive, even if she is not my type. ---

There are a lot I’d gladly pay for…as long as it wasn’t a lot, and it was voluntary in their end. But the short list would be: Scarlett Johanson Megan Fox Anne Hathaway Heather Graham ---

> [@Fried\_Dough\_Ho](#): > > And what makes you think women don’t pay also? We do - just different currency. :rolleyes: Hey I never claimed women didn’t! I can say that A equals B, without claiming that C does not equal B. In case anyone’s wondering, I don’t really think my statement is true, it was hyperbole for humorous effect. I thought the big I’d NEVER pay for sex, then talking about who he would pay to have sex with was kind of funny. ---

> [@Fried\_Dough\_Ho](#): > > And what makes you think women don’t pay also? We do - just different currency. :rolleyes: Yes, that’s why “one way and another” does not work here. The thread was about currency. I’ve no idea if I would pay for sex or not. Probably not, or I would have already. I’m not really worried about Christina Ricci or Selma Blair offering to do me for a fiver, but hell … I might be game if they were the ones who came up with the idea! ---
