Call me a fat ugly bald b***ard and I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Doesn't mean it's true for everyone, does it?

I am not fat.
I am not ugly.
I am not bald.

I am, however, a bastard*.

If somebody called me a fat,ugly bald bastard, I would laugh in their face because they would be 75% wrong.

(*According to the standard dictionary definition re parental marital status at time of birth)

Blimey - that is an uncannily accurate description of binners. Do you have a long-lost twin?

You do start a few threads commenting on female celebs looks. are you 12?

No - I'm 42. Female celeb's are part of our lives TJ - am I not allowed to be interested in them? Just FYI I am also interested in

Ornithology
Meterology
Medicine
Power greneration
Railways

And I think I have posted about all of these before now. I post a thread about an attractive female and get called an immature hypocrite. You need to loosen your laces man.

I just point out your hypocrisy and I do not like the attitude that says as you do that peoples value is in their looks.

Isn't some people's value in their looks though??

Some people are naturally sporty/athletic...
Some people are naturally brainy/academic....
Some people have an excellent grasp of language...
Some people aren't scared of stuff...

Some people have great looks/ are physically attractive...

Do looks mean nothing? Is an attractive person who uses their looks to forge a career (or whatever), less of a person than an ugly person with a massive intellect who uses their brain to forge a career.....??

Is it wrong of someone to listen to SEB's music and say "don't really like it", but happily look at a photo of her being attractive? She is a model as well as a singer/songwriter & DJ, so she must appreciate the value of her looks??

Hmmm, just thinking out loud, really.

Apparently 'she' is actually David Coulthard, with a beaver and small rack.

Confirmation of this - you never see them together.

Onions do not necessarily equal facts, Barnes.

Mylene Klass is a very highly talented musician, who happens to be extremely pretty. She is also very highly intelligent, and has used the resources available to her to further enhance her own career. This has involved her being part of a crappy manufactured pop band, but out of that group, she has progressed far more than the others, as she has genuine talent and a brain in her head.

Would she have bin as successful if she weren't considered so beautiful? Probbly not, such is the shallow, materialistic nature of our society.

Would Derek Starbelly have got more sympathy if he was a pretty, nubile young woman? Undoubtedly. Does he deserve less sympathy because he [i]isn't[/i] a pretty nubile young woman? No, surely he should be treated equally?

But equally; if he objectifies other people, then he also should expect to be objectified. In Miss Ellis-Bextor's case, she is the object of sexual fantasy and desire. In Derek Starbelly's case, he was the object of ridicule and abuse. That's not really fair though, is it? He has feelings and emotions the same as anyone else. And what if Miss E-B doesn't want fat bald ugly middle-aged bastards lusting after her? I'm sure I woon't be comfortable with such a thought. ๐Ÿ™

Oh Whell.

Compliments from complete strangers are weird ( sorry, I find it weird). The whole "I'd do her/ bash her doors in" etc thing is just a bit icky.

Best keep it to yourself.

Compliments from strangers are weird, yes. But I think this is different. Any given person will be considered attractive or not by some people, so I think it can be objectively discussed.

I don't think we're debating the young lady's value in terms of her looks. Everyone has looks - I think it's ok to discuss how someone looks in an abstract context such as this. If she were a forum user that'd be different.

The whole "I'd do her/ bash her doors in" etc thing is just a bit icky

Yeah.. machismo.. even if it's joking it's in pretty poor taste given historical precedent in gender relations...

And just a little sad and desperate.

Worse, is when guys say, usually after I've just criticised a female member of staff, "Yeah, but you would though wouldn't you?". Ummm, no, why on earth would you think I would? I find it incredibly sad (for them).

Was that a deliberate 'coming out' or a freudian slip type declaration of chutney ferretness?

So you do cover the whole gamut from misogyny to homophobia then... And here was I thinking your ignorance was limited in its scope.

I think we've seen enough - many of you need to examine your unacceptable attitudes.

Closing this now.
