All of the images I have seen of Jenny McCarthy’s naked body indicate that I would hit that so hard that anyone who could pull me out would have to be declared the rightful king of England. As for her ideas … see above. ---

Agreed. Why is it assumed that a “hot” girl will cause guys to sleep with her? I don’t care if a Brad Pitt type approached me…if there’s not some sort of mental/emotional connection, there’s no way it goes any further. ---

Yes, I would “date” her. I would “date” her very hard for about 30 minutes. Wait, is there a vaccination against ‘the crazy’? ---

McCarthy’s not hot enough to pass that standard. Yes, she’s got a good body, but to put it crudely, she’s a two-bagger. ---

This. Hey look any of us can fly to Vegas and pay a few hundred bucks to have sex with someone who looks at least as hot as this twit does and who is a professional at it. And who having sex with would not feel like schtupping Hitler. And most of us do not. If sex with an attractive body was that any of us cared about we would. ---

> [@spoke-](#): > > Men are different from women in this regard. > > (On average. There are exceptions within each gender. YMMV. See enclosed pamphlet for details. Offer void in Illinois.) Serious question: are they? Is that all men care about? Is it really true that men will fuck someone just because they’re hot even if they’re dumb? As a woman I find that nearly incomprehensible. ---

Not so much ‘will’ f_ck them, but ‘would’ f_ck them remember - it’s not like the opportunity usually actually arises. And a lot of this talk is just empty machismo, possibly based on the fear that if you were to turn down any ‘hot’ woman at all you are less of a man. That said, enough beer can plaster over some massive compatibility cracks. ---

Yes, given the opportunity (which, as **Staggerlee** points out, usually isn’t the case). What I find incomprehensible is that some men and some women still seem to think that our brain wiring is the same. Men and women, as a whole, process the same data and inputs differently. Understanding that, rather then assuming one is thinking like the other, goes a long way to fostering better relationships between the sexes. All that said, you can still keep Jenny McCarthy. I want no part of that. ---

Speaking only for myself (and my former single self at that): > [@LavenderBlue](#): > > Is that all men care about? No. > [@LavenderBlue](#): > > Is it really true that men will fuck someone just because they’re hot even if they’re dumb? Yes. And I think the biggest difference between the genders is that I suspect most men will not consider these to be incompatible answers. ---

We’d prefer to be making love to our soulmate. But if we haven’t found that woman yet, we’re generally happy to fuck whatever good-looking alternative is available. And if no good-looking alternative is available, we’re often open to any reasonable offers. ---
