    Gentlemen, ask women anything.

    I think Your Mama is right.

     

    scariest comment in this thread.

     

    The exact reason why I chose this name... For referential moments like this.

     

    What do you think of shy guys? Or guys with Hairy legs,arms an asses. Or nerdy guys. Do they attract you or repulse you.

     

    I think modest (same as being shy or slightly different?) guys are awesome. And I think that shy guys are a lot more attractive than cocky guys. Bleh. Intelligence is definitely attractive, too. I'm actually crushing over a guy right now who's borderline nerdy.

     

    ...Hair on guys is natural, so it doesn't bother me I guess.

     

    *Edit*

     

    Is/was losing your virginity as important to you (as a young woman) as books and films depict?

     

    For me, yes. I'm planning to keep it for marriage, and I don't know if it will turn out that way, but I know that I'm not going to lose it just for the sake of curiosity.

    Ladies, ask men anything.

    At least for European-based cultures, dancing is probably too self-expressive, so a potential show of weakness.  When the disco explosion happened in the U.S., it was really big among gay people, African-Americans and hispanics.  The one group that didn't like it so much were straight, white guys, especially the more redneck or prejudiced one.  I hung at gay bars during that time, and remember that people danced at them with an almost religious fervor sometimes, like a mobile form of worship, and would be on the floor for hours at a stretch.  Mostly it was gay guys, but on certain nights, when the floor wasn't packed, groups of black straight couples would come, too, and would be part of the dancing crowd, hanging comfortably and seamlesslly with the mostly white and hispanic gay crowd there.

     

    Years later, in the late 80s, I hung at another bar with a dance floor.  Sometimes white women would drag their boyfriends there, and they would dance for a while, and though there was no trouble and the dancing was fine, the boyfriends generally looked like they were happy to leave.  Black straight couples would also come, and fit right in with gay crowd as before.

     

    So maybe straight white guys (in America at least) feel like they have too much status to lose by appearing too expressive and undignified by dancing?  Well, I should talk, since I pretty much don't dance myself, and didn't even when I was younger.  I was just too self-conscious, perhaps a consequence of being unathletic and not the most consistently graceful person on the planet.  But I always enjoyed watching other people dance.

     

    Hmm... interesting. I hate to make a racial point, but most (if not all) of the African American guys I know enjoy dancing, while most of the white guys I know despise it. But then again this observation doesn't apply to everyone.

     

    About the whole double standard issue, if I were to add my two cents, I'd say that women have always been thought or expected to be demure and reserved, while men were always thought to be aggressive and dominant and that these stereotypes have decided the standards of sexual behavior between men and women.

     

    And I think it's interesting how most of the guys who have responded to my second question have been in defense of the double standard against women and have thought it to be ridiculous. But what would you fellas say about a girl, like say, Christina Aguilera, who proudly flaunts her sexuality and addresses the double standard in her music. Wouldn't most of you call her a slut?

     

    (Or is this question irrevelant and potentially off-topic?)

    Best Buy's Constantine Promo DVD

    In fairness to Lauren, she explained that she meant 'Dirty Harry' in the sense that John was just as capable of doing bad as good.

     

    Ok, the video quality is a little choppy in places but right click and save as here to download an 84meg version of the 10 minute promotional DVD footage.

     

    Ocean, it's Andy you need to propose to - if it wasn't for his kindness, I wouldn't have had anything to upload.

     

    I have a nice big, crystal clear 250meg .mpg of the thing that I'll burn onto CD for the lads in Britain (cause postage will be bugger all).

    Hey, John, would you mind if the webmistress from shia-labeouf.org posts the video on her site? She'll credit you, too, if you want.

    Haven't read Shutterbabe because frankily the woman, Debroah Kogan, seems too unlikable to me...more like a little rich girl who cared more about her career than the people and places she was covering.  I think it was the fact that an Afgani lost his leg to a landmine trying to find a secluded palce for her to urinate which turned me off to her.

     

    I agree with the first point; I noticed how she seemed more focused on her on wellbeing rather than the conditions and circumstances of everyone around her (rather than empathizing with a lot of the people whom she encountered or traveled with, she seemed to be more focused on things like her love life and her stash of tampons), but I respected her in that sense because she was honest and acknowledged her often self-centered attitude herself.

     

    But why would you be turned off to her because of the accident? (Just curious) Neither she nor the man wanted to walk the distance every time she had to go to the bathroom, but because she was a woman and because of the social inferiority of women in Afghanistan, she had to maintain that privacy so as not to offend the other men. Also, when that happened, she acknowledged that her career had less importance because she had the opportunity to take the man's picture, but felt it was inhumane to do so, writing, "Maybe I'm not meant for this job."

     

    Sorry, just had to add my two cents... Not trying to say you're wrong or anything.

    The More Or Less Likely Poll For December 2004

    And mama, Sixth Sense is scary because it looks so realistic there but you don' t expect to find possesed girls or demons in your room right? Because, I remember I couldn't sleep after Jurrasic Park(when I was eight). I thought dinosours could eat me and dreamt about it every night. At the other hand I watched X files that age and I never thought that was scary. See what I mean? I think that with Constantine you know it could never happen.

    Are you saying my fear of Sixth Sense was justifiable because it could actually happen?

     

    Eek! *Gets chills*

     

    Ah, just joking. I get what you're saying, and you're probably right, but I'm still unsure about seeing Constantine because I have a feeling that I'll react in the sissy way that I'm predicting, whether the movie seems realistic or not.

    Eh, I don't know actually (I voted less likely). I know I've been hanging around these here boards and have been anxious / supportive about Shia's role in Constantine, but I am still unsure if I'll be watching it myself. I'm not really a fan of scary movies (in fact they terrify me because I'm the type of person who would naively say, "Could that really happen?" after a horror flick), and I don't know if seeing one of my favorite actors in a couple of scenes is worth a lack of sleep for however many days the thought of Constantine (which is being hyped up to be something like the Exorcist) will keep me up.

     

    If you still can't grasp how much of a scaredy cat I am, consider this: I couldn't sleep by myself for about a week after watching "The Sixth Sense".

    Just watched "Closer" yesterday, which I loved (especially because I'm a big fan of Natalie Portman). Even though a lot of the scenes were a bit too provocative and over-the-top for me and my conservative / dorky self, I still enjoyed it. The shocking dialogue and relentless drama was great.

     

    Go see it if you can 8-)

     

    EDIT: Oh yea, and I saw "Finding Neverland" not too long ago and fell in love with it. Johnny Depp once again made his performance seem effortless.

     

    I loved how the movie showed the beauty of imagination and stories and pretend and plays and ideas and laughter and being young--I honestly cried at like every other scene in the movie... even at scenes that I'm sure weren't meant to be sad or emotional.

     

    WAAAAAAH nostalgia.

    I saw you signing up :o Welcome :D whats for breakfast? While you're at it :p :D

     

    :o and :D to you as well.

    Er, it's about 1am here right now, so breakfast would be... nothing (Or is insomnia a food?)

     

    Keanu: "I could about kiss you, you handsome little man, and that hat...lordy!"

     

    I would think Keanu is saying this, but then again, no one says lordy anymore.

     

    Howdy, Mr. McMahon, sir.
