Well, it’s not the reason I voted for you. Not in the slightest. Anyone can talk about their boobs. Watch: “I have big boobs!” See? I don’t mean to make light of the subject, but if simply posting that you have breasts is enough to make you sexy, then I’m reading the wrong rule book. I put you on my list out of posting admiration.
I don’t mind people saying they’re silly - they surely are! But as for hurting someone’s feelings, I think it’s a little unfair to say that if I support such a thread, I also support hurting someone’s feelings. That’s a little unrealistic. Someone will always have their feelings hurt, especially in an online community as large as this one. My response is simply that my intention is not to hurt feelings. Again, if someone said the same to me, with the positions reversed, I’d say, “Ok, you don’t mean to” and look at the thread in the spirit with which it’s probably intended to be viewed: as a fun, upbeat activity.
People will know you on these boards for what you say and how you say it. If all you talk about, jarbabyj, is your sex appeal, then people will indeed know you as the “spicy talking, sexy poster.” However, you’ve not done that. Your posts, like others I “voted” for in this thread, are at once entertaining and educational. They are well thought out. That is my highest compliment, and someday I hope to earn it myself.
FTR, the reason I opened this thread is that I saw Hama’s name as the last poster, and I thought she’d have something interesting to say. I was right.
jarbaby, I have to agree with you - when I get an email saying “I thought your post in X thread was really funny” or someone tells me in chat that they laughed something I posted, I really appreciate the compliment.
:wanders off, wondering if she should start a thread called “Male Dopers I’d Most Like to Screw”:
jarbabyj, I didn’t post to that ‘the other’ thread and while I have mentioned that I do shave and have pierced nipples when it’s been appropriate to other threads, I haven’t gone around making an issue out of it (that I remember). Perhaps I’m being naive, but I’d like to think I got on the nomination list for other reasons, same as you. Yes, it’s silly. But it’s also kinda fun and I’ll freely admit it does give me an ego boost today when I need one and this is the forum for silly things.
Great. Okay, so they’re sexy for ‘other reasons’, so what you’re saying is: I’m not attractive, AND I’m not interesting! Thanks SO much! I’m back in fucking high school!
I’d rather think about the list of doper babes that I’d love to meet ITL at a dopefest. That list is long…and includes purt near all the wimmins listed here (although Falcon’s ta-tas may have to be listed separately :D)
Huh? I don’t follow this statement at all. I don’t think I’ve ever said you weren’t attractive or interesting. In fact, I am pretty sure I haven’t said anything to you. But you certainly may infer what you will…
If I’ve misinterpreted you, please clarify your statement for me.
(Similar to someone else here…) I only read this thread because I saw Falcon had posted last, and thought I’d see what interesting thing she had to say.
I thought these threads had been assigned to the IMHO forum. [Any mods concur?]
Personally, I have to agree with Cranky and Hama on this one.
Re: Not “F-ing reading them” that’s all well and good, and I’m more than happy to oblige, but when it takes 2-1/2 f-ing minutes to open any thread on the message board…I think requesting people be a bit more frugal or selective with their thread starting isn’t such a bad thing.
I don’t much care about being voted sexy or unsexy by anyone except Mr. Tzunami so don’t bother with the whiney, jealousy labels.
As far as the Midol remark, well, in the fight against ignorance, let’s call that remark proof of a minor loss for our team.
Finally, while I’ve heard that the brain is the biggest sex organ, I don’t think it lends itself well to the pageant circuit.
Dan, I think Falcon is saying that in your post you claimed that women can be sexy either for physical attributes or for other things like funniness, intellecutalism or general ‘interestingness’ (or even for making up words!) and yet, Falcon and thousands of other doperchicks STILL don’t get nominated. And by not nominating her, you’re saying that she in NO WAY FITS THE SEXY CRITERIA. See how feelings can get hurt whether your mean to or not?
Fun is fun until it’s not fun anymore, you know?
i have no problem with men, i have no problem with women. I have no problem with them thinking each other sexy and voicing it. i have no problem with menstrual cramps today. I have no problem with flirting where it’s appropriate, and certainly this is the forum for it. I think it’s nice that people think I’m sexy or cute or funny or smart, but I can see where others will be hurt all in the name of time killing fun.
just my opinion, ya know? No biggie.
Now, I’m off to work out so I can be voted sexiest female swimmer in chicago…
Although I hardly think that I fit in with what would be the typical description of “sexy”, I want to thank the two wonderful people who nominated me. Smooches to both of you and not just because of this thread.
I hate to do this, but I gotta chime in as agreeing with those discenting on this thread.
I avoided opening it most of the day, but eventually curiosity overcame prudence.
I truely dislike pagents and contest in general, because they, by their very nature, exclude people.
If some person has to be the sexiest, whether it be because of their physical features, staggering intellect, or wonderously heartfelt caring nature, that means that someone else has to be second place, another third, etc.
And of course, some don’t get mentioned at all. Not because they don’t deserve to me mentioned and lauded for their wonderfulness, they most certainly do deserve this. But they don’t get mentioned because the poster’s don’t think of them.
There are so many sexy women (and men) on this board it seems unfair to try and rank them. I’m more than happy to participate in threads praising a parricular poster, even though I know this is somewhat the same thing, folks who haven’t had threads created to compliment them feel left out. For me there is a difference between happily complimenting and flirting with someone in a thread created for that reason and ranking one poster as better than another.
