Marilyn Monroe was fat

I've posted this before but it bears repeating since those are her actual dresses people could see and judge.

That White Dress

The auction’s top-ticket item was Monroe’s famous white halter dress from “The Seven Year Itch,” the one that billowed up as the subway passed. It sold for almost $5.66 million (including the buyer’s premium) to an unknown phone bidder. Sharing a rotating mirrored platform with Hedy Lamarr’s peacock gown from “Samson and Delilah” and Kim Novak’s rhinestone- fringed show dress from “Jeanne Eagels,” Monroe’s costume was displayed on a mannequin that had been carved down from a standard size 2 to accommodate the tiny waist. Even then, the zipper could not entirely close.

But that’s just one dress. Perhaps the star was having a skinny day. To check, you could look across the room and see that Monroe’s red-sequined show dress from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” was at least as petite, as were the saloon costume from “River of No Return” and the tropical “Heat Wave” outfit from “There’s No Business Like Show Business.”
Half a Person

In fact, the average waist measurement of the four Monroe dresses was a mere 22 inches, according to Lisa Urban, the Hollywood consultant who dressed the mannequins and took measurements for me. Even Monroe’s bust was a modest 34 inches.

That’s not an anecdote. That’s data.

MM was the most overrated female of all time, and probably will always be... Only old people who grew up watching her movies still find her hot

Nowadays you can find a ton of average girls out there with better bodies... Her waist-hips ratio is lacking, her hair sucks (but thats what people used back then so not her fault), facial aesthetics trying too hard to be "glamour", and her boobs are ugly (see naked pics and youll know what I mean)

On a related note, I watched IP Man the other day and my jaw was on the floor the whole time Xiong Dai Lin/Lynn Hung was on the screen... Words cannot describe how beautiful that woman is... You can go google her pics if you havent seen the movie, but they dont do her justice, you have to see the way she moves and her eyes, its just mother of god, wouldwife/10

I see why you said the bold part.. they have gross bodies

I wouldn't say gross bodies, but too many guys have asian fever today. My wife is japanese and it drives her crazy as well.

Their only criteria seems to be asian and in a movie or porn video = hottest chick in the world.

How is that trolling? I can tell you probably more than a dozen times I have left with a chick while a couple other dudes were openly critiquing her.

Like I said, they know you noticed them; going off and hashing out their tits/eyes/ass etc really turns them off.

I have always found it easy to meet women which doesn't seem to be the case for most here.

Hmm, great quote...
I agree, whats the point of debating a commonly accepted canon of a beautiful woman - such us MM?

And MM was super hot you idiots.

Nobody claimed you were picky.

See the bolded part for the troll portion of your post. Every single post you have ever made(probably not but it seems like it) ends like that therefore you are in perma troll mode. If you just left the troll parts out of your posts who knows what could happen.

lol...most of my chicks were smoking hot.

People like to bag on my wife, but I married her for other reasons than being smoking hot. She's cute and lovable. She will do whatever it takes to make me happy and not question things.

You have to take care of yourself a bit, but in no way to you have to be Brad Pitt or Bill Gates (looks vs money)...dress cool, don't show up like a slob (shower, get a haircut), chat EVERYONE up (boys or girls...this point makes you both approachable and likeable) and then say "Hi" to the chick you desire.

Profit.

It's about that easy.

If she is a bitch and shoots you down, be nice about it but deliver your message in a funny way "Hey sorry you weren't looking to have fun tonight!" Move on.

My wife and I almost separated about 3 years ago. She was stressed about our neighborhood and wanted to move back to Japan. I went out and started dating. I burned through a ton of chicks and kept coming back to this one 32 year old. We ended up a couple and I was staying at her house. She wanted me permanently in her life.

My wife reconciled with me. About 90% of my friends thought I was literally "Fucking Nuts" to dump the younger, hotter, richer chick. She was in a position that she never has to work due to her family accounts and her parents are still alive. When they pass away, I am not sure how much she will inherit, but just their donations have been over $100 million dollars that I know about.

So yeah, I am not too picky.

I'm a firm believer in do what makes you happy as long is you don't compromise your integrity. My question to you is why do you feel you need to be giving dating advice in this instance? Who even goes to a bar to get laid anymore under the age of 40? That's what the internet is for, just flirt a bit online and tell her to come over and drink some tequila.

wow, you really think most < 25 somethings don't just end up together at places? That's the real easiest to date age. Then as the chicks approach 25+ they reach out online if they have careers or stick to the club/grocery/gym/etc scene.

Funny how you think where people gather on the weekends is a bad place to be.

I really doubt you have had much luck except one time of luring a chick after a short chat online to come over to your place and get intoxicated.

I met a lot of chicks online...they usually want it at their place or a hotel unless they hang out with you for a while locally.

You sound like a man whore. I was joking about the creepy invite them to my house and ply them with tequila thing although it would probably work more than it should. I sleep with the same woman every night and that works for me(and no it's not your mom don't worry)

Wow @ saying MM was "FAT"...especially in light that she was a very hot chick (hot is more action than beauty, but MM was very beautiful as well).

I don't think many of you dudes have been around the block so much, but one thing I hate about uber skinny women is their bones cause bruising during sex even worse if you both 'groom'. Hell some chicks I could see my cock moving along their bellies. Give me some curves and the padding that goes along with it. If I wanted to hump pre-pubescents I'd kill myself first.

Never mind the formalities, just kill yourself and be done with it.
