You feel this urge to defend your sex and feel foreign around the idiots. The irony here is always that almost all of the guys shooting their mouths--in spite of their youthfulness--are too ugly to get a beautiful and classy woman. So at the end it wouldn't matter whether or not the ladies or stars depicted are hot looking . . . 'cuz these guys wouldn't even be their friends. If I were a star (which I do have the premonition that it will happen someday and soon), I wouldn't even give any of you guys who shoot your mouths consideration. Now, don't get me wrong: I do think that constructive criticism exists and it's okay to say that you don't think a woman is attractive. The guys I have an issue with are obvious . . . their words aren't just that and they tend to post sexist crap, albeit under the pretenses of a joke.
Now, go enjoy your ugly chicks . . . as if you had any choices.

Hearing day in and day out that simply being older makes a person "ugly" can kinda get to a person after awhile.I'm not asking anybody to say that they find somebody attractive when they don't and I have no issue with the constant discussion of the appearance of public figures,heck they signed up for it.All I am suggesting is that if you're going to critize somebody's appearance why not base it on factors over which they have some control? Lol,believe it or not tact is a very sexy trait and it can be developed

On a positive note,it was nice to see the OP expressing appreciation for a healthy looking lady

You shouldn't take it personally Jean. Why would you care what someone thinks about you on this forum? It is not as if the vast majority of people here will even ever get laid. Just chalk it up to their stupidity and just grin. They are the ones who look stupid.

Your logic is mistaken here in that people do not choose what naturally attracts them. People age, they become less attractive, their bodies wear out as mortality takes its toll and eventually they die. Nature works that way, when we get a certain age we can't reproduce so attraction is no longer necessary at this level anyway. Whether or not we have control of this is irrelevent in judgement. If I were considering you for the job of a pilot, and you had poor vision, I realize that would be out of your control but I still could not give you the job. Some things are just objective like that. Certainly this doesn't mean the person has any less value, but these type of threads aren't about value, generally they're about baseless sexual attraction. If that's not your cup of tea, pass it over.
