I’ve noticed a trend in the responses to the pictures of the men. It seems to be as follows:
Men: “My what an ugly bunch we are. We look like the Elephant Man with a skin disease. Lovecraft could have gotten a trilogy of novels from each individual picture.”
Ladies: “The men are all wonderful hunks. They are Greek Gods to the man. Our collective response can best be described with Slug’s picture to last weeks column.”
Let me be the first to break this trend.
Ahem

My - what - a - bunch - of - strong - virile - men. Boy, - I’d - sure - like - to…
If I’d known women were that easily impressed I’d have paid more attention when they were giving fashion lessons in high school. They only things I remember are that socks should match, if possible, and to tuck in your whole shirt, not just the front.
think this posting of a pics collection is cool beans. Most people currently here don’t really know about Opal’s TM pages yet, and some of the photo shots are ah…interesting to say the least.
Now, Trion, do you really want an honest response? And how do you judge it if you get one? Everyone’s tastes are different (a few ladies named men they think are good-looking that I didn’t, and I bet a few of my reactions would get jeered at).
So once again, let’s all say it together “Everyone is beautiful, in their own way”.
Sou Na - I don’t want an honest opinion. I want people to lie and tell me I’m sexy and handsome. I was just struck by the different reactions. Check out pluto and Coldfire on page 2 of the SDMB MEN!!! thread to see what I was talking about.
techchick68 - I laughed out loud at my caption. And so did Mrs. Trion.
You guys are STUDS. You’re HOT. You’re STEAMING slabs of male flesh, and we all want you, very badly.
Now DEAL WITH IT, okay? Just look at yourself in the mirror, and tell yourself “The women of the SDMB think I’m a hot babe! Woohoo!” Then go to work happy, be productive, impress your boss, get a raise, and buy us gifts.
And I was struck by the silence and the crickets chirping.
The gals don’t seem to realize that when the guys see them write “oooh, look at all the hot men,” the guys instantly think, “they’re talking about everyone else.”
I still thought it was cool to put some faces with names. And I eagerly await the finished female product.
So THAT is why I have a tough time finding dates on the weekend. I shall whistle while I pack my bags for the nearest location with a large population of SD women.
So, where am I going and who is going to pick me up at the bus station?
This does not me good. Now, the fact that most of the gay men (right, guys? :)) think I’m a hot stud, and even some of the straight boys here have said they’d either switch for me or would go after me if they did… that gets me going in the morning.
