Good movies spoiled by (very) bad film scores (and the battle of the sexes)

I am SO glad someone of the female persuasion made this point. This wraps up the whole thing as far as I'm concerned because it proves to me that there actually ARE people who think the "traditional" macho man look with hair and bulk is attractive. Never would've thought so in this day and age, but there you have it!

I'm glad someone said it because it truly proves that it comes down to our own standards of aesthetics, in the end. That "let woman look like woman and man look like man" philosophy, as others have said, does not work for me, but if it works for others then fine. I personally an very disinclined toward the "traditional macho hairy" man principle, and yes, I fully admit, I think a fay male is much more attractive. And no, I'm not the only one who thinks that: most women in the circles in which I hang out prefer their men like that too. But it's not my place to push my standards on others, or others to push theirs on me.

And so it all boils down to keeping up a level of maintenance and grooming that is conform to YOUR OWN standards of aesthetics! And no one else's opinion matters. If your standards happen to be somewhat masculine in nature and require very little of you? Kudos, more power to you. If you lean toward a more feminine approach? Then bummer, get ready to work hard, but enjoy the primping that ensues.

And I firmly believe that your biological sex has nothing to do with the choice you make: metro-sexuals prove that you can be male and chose female aesthetics, and I can count many personal female friends of mine who choose the masculine look and it works for them. It's all down to choosing a look and "making it work". No matter what you chose, if you believe you're hot stuff, it shows. Confidence speaks volumes.


To be precise: I don't want to eliminate the difference between sexes persay. I just want to eliminate one sex entirely, that's all. No, I sound like I'm really bashing males all the time, but truly, what would the world be without men. It's like drunk people: they're damaging and dangerous, but oh-so funny. Movies would be a whole lot less fun without men to cause wars and takes hostages and such.

(just being a smartass now. just listen to my first paragraph above, not that last one)

True, true. If all discussions started with: "before we start, let's agree that an idyllic world would be ideal," then everyone would just agree on that off the bat and there WOULD be no discussion! Ever! :xmas-dizzy:

Sad fact is it's far from perfect.


As exemplified by Randy Edelman.

I would suggest a nubile 20 year old Tom

If only I could Timmer!!! But you guys all like me so life is still ok.

off the topic indeed!!!

Well, it's just a matter of preference. And there are as many tastes as there are people.
Even when there are trends, wether it's men waxing their chest or women shaving everything down there, there will always be people who don't like it. It seems like as a woman these days you're supposed to shave it all, but I know many men who don't like that and women too (me neither. I don't want a woman to look like an 8 year old down there!). So one may wonder why it's a trend in the first place when many people don't like it. The same with men, the same with make-up. Women think men like make-up on women and I'm sure many do but also many men don't so... it's all very personal.

Generally speaking, I think the older one becomes, the less sensitive one is for trends. Especially the short hypes. There are of course also cultural trends that last longer. You know, what people find attractive is so very personal. That's why there are basically no un-attractive people!
