You know, some men actually enjoy being smacked around by an attractive woman. At that, some men pay good money – like, ‘prostitute’ money – just to get smacked around by an attractive woman. In fact, I believe there are three types of men: those who, upon getting asked whether they’d be into that, would say _“hell, yeah,”_ and those who’d reply _“uh, no,”_ and those who’d say _“wait, is it Priyanka Chopra?”_ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-attractive-actresses-on-tv-shows/788881.md?page=2)
