Fat people, skinny people, smart people, mean people, looks, attitude, whatever. These dumb-ass discussions are always obnoxious. Thank you! I don’t know what it is about some guys that makes them so mad when others don’t share their opinion on what is attractive. I’ve seen boys blow up over friends who swore they wouldn’t have sex with Pamela Anderson if she offered, calling them liars and possibly homosexual. Are they trying to justify their own desires? Angry that others are so clearly lying to themselves? Out to get all women to conform to a definition of sexiness that suits them? You’d think they wouldn’t want the competition. ---

Not that anybody cares, but I meant laugh at in a good way. Just because someone isn’t “nice” doesn’t mean he can’t be funny. ---

> [@ivn1188](#): > > So you’re saying pedophilia is Ok? Because that’s logically implied by your statement. Sure. Getting turned on by the thought of fucking children is also ok. Perhaps desires can be considered evidence of normative belief, but do you really want to argue that the reverse is true? ---

So are we all in agreement? **MoA** didn’t get laid because of the shoes she was wearing, and it was her fault? ---

I am aware of FMPs–I’d never wear them, solely because I don’t need footwear to get laid, but whatever floats people’s boats… Of course attractiveness plays a part in sex–now, let’s define “attractive”. That should be as non-controversial as breast vs bottle or circumcision… ---

I’m-a caught in yer terrubl trap of logik! Halp! :rolleyes: Look, I have friends who are turned on by some fucked-up shit. I’m going to go hang out with them tonight, and maybe later I’ll go home, read the De Sade that’s next to my bed, and jerk off to images of really fucked-up shit. Whatever turns you on is whatever turns you on, and as far as I’m concerned, you’re welcome to jerk off to anything your blessed mind can think of. _Acting upon_ what turns you on is a whole different matter, and there are plenty of lines to be drawn between what’s okay (consenting adults) and what’s not (anything else). There are people who are turned on by kids, and that’s their cross to bear, as long as they never involve actual children in their sex lives. ---

I tried once and couldn’t bend my knees enough to go up stairs. I guess you wear them when you’re on level ground. (I’m also assuming you mean “up over her knees but below her thighs”?) ---

Hmm… many many years ago, I had boots that came up over the knee, but they were flat. I suppose those must have been “Third Base” boots. ---

I am aware of FMPs–I’d never wear them, solely because I don’t need footwear to get laid, but whatever floats people’s boats… No, it wasn’t. Your self-centered defensiveness aside, the _actual_ content was about you claiming that you could have “Fuck me flats”. _You_ might feel sexy in them, but barring a ballerina fetish, they are in no way sexy footwear. Furthermore, your self-admitted refusal to go the extra mile because “you don’t need them to get laid” just tells me that you’re a typical selfish partyhatter. I’m sure you can get laid lounging around in your muumuu and flip-flops; but “getting laid” isn’t the point. Your asinine assertion that attitude attracts is nothing more than a smokescreen for your belief that you’re too good to “play the game” and your secret heart-of-hearts knowledge that you’re too scared to try.
