DU'ers who find women attractive--a word.

[Lyric]

I hear a lot of talk from DU'ers going on about how Palin is "hot," Palin is a "VPILF/MILF,", Palin is something you "wouldn't mind looking at for four years." Hehehe. Oh so funny! A regular laff riot!!!

As a bisexual, liberal, strong young woman, let me say--if I theoretically heard somebody going on about the "hotness" of a Repuke who wants to revoke my civil liberties for the sake of her dogma, said person's chances of "scoring" with me anytime in the near future would drop down to a level somewhere below to George W. Bush's approval ratings among DU members. Significantly below. In fact, Chimpy would ENVY this person's chances, as expressed in a percentage number.

*glares pointedly at ThinkBlue1966*

Watch it, punks.

:spank: :P

[Aristus]

1. What if I think YOU are hot?

Chances of scoring: still zero because I'm married. :P

But still, it was worth saying... B-)

[Lyric]

8. I have perfectly good self-esteem.

I can handle Certain People Who Sleep In My Bed And Eat My Food going on about the hotness of solidly liberal ladies. But I draw the damned line at 'Puke Jesus-zombies, dammit. Do. Not. Even. Go. There.

It's like salivating over Anne Coulter, for god's sake!

*glares at ThinkBlue1966 again*

:P

[Aristus]

13. OH! EEW! You mentioned the Coultergeist!

:puke::puke::puke::puke:

[Skittles]

47. hey Aristus

not all women base their self-esteem on how many men want to fuck them

[Aristus]

48. I know. I wasn't trying to suggest otherwise.

Are you going to kick my ass now? ;-)

[graywarrior]

2. I keep meaning to tell you how awesome you write

I love what you have to say. You f'n rule!

:toast:

[Lyric]

4. Right back atcha.

You and your gorgeous eyes AND your adorable duck-in-distress.

:loveya:

[graywarrior]

5. Let's have a baby together.

He/she would have great eyes and become a famous writer.

[Aristus]

6. oktoberain and graywarrior!

:popcorn:

[Ava]

7. you're insane

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

16. Like you're not

:silly:

[Ava]

24. not nearly as crazy

:P

[graywarrior]

25. You still have time to develop

Trust me..you are on your way.

Bwuahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!

[Ava]

28. i'm sure that once i get out of the south, you damn yankees will corrupt my mind

:P

[graywarrior]

31. Just warn us when you get here so we can

Rrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnn!

[Ava]

34. i'm already there!

[graywarrior]

36. Dear god....where?

:hide:

[Ava]

38. ...

[graywarrior]

40. Noooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm sceered now.

I peed myself.

[Lyric]

35. Too late. You're already corrupted beyond redemption.

The next thing you know, you'll be dancing, for heaven's sake.

:P

[Ava]

39. and listening to rock music

:P

[graywarrior]

41. And maybe even getting a tattoo!

[Lyric]

14. I wish.

I'd totally have your baby. At least it wouldn't inherit A Certain Someone Who Lives In My House's evil Palin-Coveting genes.

:grr: :rofl:

[graywarrior]

21. That's for damn fucking sure!

He/she would be so rad he/she would rule the earth most awesomely.

[skooooo]

3. good point!! nt

[UndertheOcean]

9. You assume we desire to score with you , I think you assume too much

[Ava]

12. wow, you just made yourself look like an asshole

sheesh

[Lyric]

18. Ignore him--how was Denver, sweetness?

I saw some of your pics. You looked fantastic! Apparently, conventions suit you well! Did you get to meet anyone exciting?

:hug:

[Ava]

22. it was amazing.. i really enjoyed it

got to hang out with some cool alabama politicians and folks and got on the convention floor! it was awesome. and thanks... i certainly didn't look my best. walking all over town everyday doesn't help a girl out :rofl: it was an amazing experience :hug:

[Lyric]

27. Well I am incredibly jealous.

It's so incredibly awesome that you got to witness it. It truly was a historic moment in time, and you'll have a fantastic story to tell your grandchildren someday--among many others, I'm sure.

:yourock:

[Ava]

30. i'm very lucky i was able to be there

something i'll certainly never forget :pals:

[UndertheOcean]

20. I am an asshole , but I am honest. Always been.

[Ava]

23. an honest asshole is still an asshole

just sayin :hi:

[Lyric]

15. ...

Oooookay?

:shrug:

[Aristus]

17. Speak for yourself.

On second though, don't; if you can't say something nice... :eyes:

[UndertheOcean]

29. Can I speak for anyone but myself ?

"if you can't say something nice... " tell that to the OP , finding someone of different political opinions "hot" is not a vice. And if she is so small minded as to base her opinion of someone on such a superficial judgment, then she is ugly inside , even if she was pretty.

[Lyric]

33. My god.

Climb down off of that high horse. This thread was a tongue-in-cheek jibe at my own beloved SO, ThinkBlue1966. Nothing more.

You need to chill the hell out. Seriously.

[Rhythm]

73. Dude... chill. Srsly...

She and i tease each other like this on a regular basis. Sorry that it offended your sense of humor or something.

Besides... you couldn't handle her anyway... :evilgrin:

[Left Is Write]

51. Way to miss the point, there.

[Guava Jelly]

58. No, she's right

I don't understand why you feel the need to even respond to a thread like this in the way that you did.
Didn't your mother teach you any manners?
:eyes:

[Ava]

10. preach it sista!

:yourock:

[JVS]

11. A word in response.

Wanting to put one's penis in someone is not to be confused with political support, fondness for, nor even respect of that individual.

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. I really don't get the response of some...

Some people are going on about her like they are 12 year old boys who just discovered those "feelings".

Yes, she is attractive. But so are a lot of people. Also, I'm not so sure her soul is attractive. But I will reserve judgment until I learn more about her.

I'm a straight guy, and I think that both Obama and Biden are good looking men. So what? Why is everyone going bugfuck over Palin? It is not like she looks like some Goddess or something.

[JVS]

26. pssst...

A largely undefined public figure has just hit the highest level of the political stage. One thing she needs is for people to take her seriously. A great way to prevent this is to pigeonhole her using the stereotypical figure of the woman who got everywhere on her looks (think of it as the female version of Shrub's fratboy image)

[LeftyFingerPop]

32. True, that. But....

I think that some of the male responses have nothing to do with the above.

[Zuiderelle]

60. So, you think it's a good strategy to objectify her (and while doing so put all women down)...

This kind of behavior is only going to keep us all down and open a wider door for misogyny. We don't need to put her down for being pretty. We need to put her down for her position on women's choice, for ANWR for her ethics investigation. She SHOULD be taken seriously. It would be a mistake not to do so.

It certainly didn't work with Quayle, putting him down for his prettiness, now we are going completely overboard into blatant sexism to try to make it work with Palin? Criticizing her this way is only going to work against us. After all this, let's not shoot ourselves in the fucking foot now.

[EstimatedProphet]

66. No, it's a suck way to prevent it

It can work, but at what cost?

[pokerfan]

37. I honestly don't get it

:shrug:

Sure she's attractive, physically. Looks a lot like Tina Fey, even.

But she's also also stupid, full of shit and fucking nuts (the George Carlin trifecta that he once applied to Dan Quayle).

She wants to teach creationism to our children for crying out loud!

[Fox Mulder]

42. Yeah, I'm one of those DUers who finds Palin to be physically...

attractive, but on the inside, her soul is evil. Just look at all the shit she supports. She wants to teach creationism in school. She's against contraception for married couples, for christssakes! How fucked up is that? Not only that, she supports hunting from airplanes. WTF?

I, for one, would NOT want to look at her for four years.

[Lyric]

44. Hunting from the air = too damned cowardly to face the animal you intend to kill.

If it's a dangerous, rampaging, rabid polar bear, and you're trying to save a life without endangering your own, maybe. But wolves? Wolves hardly ever bother humans. Just ridiculous. Ugh.

That woman is an empty suit with heels.

[Fox Mulder]

46. Agreed.

[Danger Mouse]

43. I would definitely mind looking at her for four years.

She's a fundie nutbag.

[Lyric]

45. Right on!

Now go preach that in GD-P and in my living room, lol.

:hug:

[Danger Mouse]

52. Word.

:hug:

[mokawanis]

49. She was only attractive for a minute

my feeling that she was attractive evaporated when I started reading up on her.

[KitchenWitch]

50. Seems to me that your rant is more than one word!

:P

:hug:

[Lyric]

54. Literalist PITA!

:P

:rofl: :hug:

[struggle4progress]

53. as a boring middle-aged du dude i completely agree with you

[BreweryYardRat]

55. Honestly, she's not that attractive.

She's like a blurry copy of a copy of Tina Fey.

[elshiva]

57. That's an insult to Tina Fey.

Take it BACK!

:P ;)

buffy

[MsTryska]

56. I don't understand most of this thread..

but hell - you can want to shag her all you want - just don't vote republican cuz you think she's hot.

[Guava Jelly]

59. Let me respond as the pervert/pig/Man that I am.

Her shell is attractive.
Her heart and mind are very ugly.
If I met her in a bar,drunk out of my goard, I probably would do her.
But it wouldn't be making love.
It would be like having sex with someone that you really had zero respect for, but she had the equipment to fulfill a temporary sexual need.(I'd use tons of protection).
Now that said.
I'd never vote for her in a zillion years.

I'd vote for you though :loveya: :)

[Zuiderelle]

61. Well, that's disgusting.

[Guava Jelly]

62. It is.

Sex with someone you don't care about often is though.
In all honesty I don't go to bars,but I have had sex with someone I didn't respect before(a few decades ago).

[Lyric]

63. I dunno--I have never been keen on the

"Sex without love is Bad" morality mindset. Sex is fun; it feels good, it burns calories, and it isn't nearly the Great Big Fat Deal that society makes of it.

Of course, I'm not very good at actually practicing what I preach here, as pretty much all of my intimate relations have occurred within the confines of a love relationship, but in theory, I have no problem at all with recreational sex. Maybe it's just that I have a deep aversion to being judgmental of other peoples' sex lives. This likely stems from being a victim of society's judgment upon my own. It sucks to have other people poke their noses into your bedroom and condemn you for what goes on there, and I know this from personal experience. *sigh*

[Guava Jelly]

64. Sex is fun

And it is better with someone you love and respect.
And I agree totally with you.
I don't care what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom as long as animals or children aren't involved.
America is a prudish country.
When I was in Germany last month I went to a museum of erotic sex in Berlin(It was in an adult bookstore).I went with two school teachers who teach grade school.
We posed for pictures outside of the store and It occurred to me that these two Female teachers couldn't do that in the land of the free and the home of the brave 'cause they would lose their jobs if spotted.(The museum although a bit graphic,displayed artifacts from different cultures through history.)
It was a surreal feeling.
It made me sad for my country

[Withywindle]

69. I don't think that's what he's talking about.

I agree, nothing at all wrong with having some fun with someone who's not the Love of Your Life, but the Love of the Next Couple Hours. With someone you don't really know, but is good to go for a short time.

I've had some fun with strangers and semi-strangers in my past, but I didn't either respect OR disrespect them - it was a neutral factor 'cause I knew nothing about them really. I didn't have contempt for them. I would NOT want to have sex with anyone I actively disliked or felt a negative amount of respect for.

It would be like having sex with someone that you really had zero respect for, but she had the equipment to fulfill a temporary sexual need.(I'd use tons of protection).

Yeah, I do think that's skeezy.

[Guava Jelly]

70. That is fine

Chances are though in a scenario where the above would happen,the issue of respect or disrespect wouldn't cross either persons minds.
I agree it is "skeezy" (I've never heard that word before)to have sex with someone who cares about you if you do not at least respect them. I meant it as if both participants have little respect for each other and it is just raw animal sex.

[EstimatedProphet]

65. I have to agree with this

Even being a man, I have to agree with this, stereotypes be damned...

One of the things I have run across on the internet (and never understood) is guys who evaluate the worth of a woman based on her looks. I don't mean that they find a woman hot and say so, I mean that, because they find a woman hot, then whatever the woman is like is OK with them, because they are hot. Example: the assholes that go on about Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin because of how they look (which to me is ugly anyway, but there's no accounting for taste.) So you get idiots on message boards who not only are posting conservative crap, but became conservative crap artists because they are horny for Ann Coulter. You can't trust someone that thinks that way.

We're going to see a lot more of this in the coming weeks. A whole lot more. If we think Ann Coulter gets too much attention, just wait - we ain't seen nuthin' yet.

[ThomCat]

67. This might be a wild guess

but it seems like ThinkBlue1966 might be in a little bit of trouble. :silly:

:hi:

[Rhythm]

74. Nah... she just teases me because she can...

Hi Thom!:hi: :hug:

[Radical Activist]

68. I've always thought it funny

when someone (usually women) talks about a persons physical attractiveness being effected by their personality, as though the two are related.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

71. But aren't those comments just directed at her physical appearance?

I think she's physically attractive, but horrible in every other respect.

Hell, Dennis Kucinich looks like a garden gnome, but I'd vote for him any day.

[Redstone]

72. But, but, you don't understand. It's simply because guys are absolute pigs, each and every

one of us. (Even though only a few, such as myself, will acknowledge the bred-to-the-bone swinishness that all we guys have.)

It ain't pretty, but it's there.

Redstone

[Unvanguard]

75. Speak for yourself. n/t

[Redstone]

76. I just did that, in case you hadn't noticed.

Redstone

[Unvanguard]

78. Nonsense. You spoke in explicitly universal terms, about all guys.

It's possible you were being sarcastic, but the rest of your post (and the way you replied to mine) seems to indicate otherwise.

[Redstone]

79. Suit yourself in any interpretation of my post that you wish to make.

Redstone

[Unvanguard]

77. Right-wing politics are the ultimate ugly feature.

Most anything else, you can compensate for. Not that, though.

[SarahB]

80. I wholeheartedly agree.

She's not a physically unattractive person, but not all that either. Certainly not beautiful enough to compensate for the ugliness of her politics (as if that were even possible).

[Sebastian Doyle]

81. I suppose she's physically attractive, but her voice would be a big turn off for me

If I actually listened to her long enough to determine that she was a right wing theocratic dominionist zealot who kills animals for fun, it would be even more so. :puke:

[old mark]

82. I find people who politicize their sexuality are usually

quite irritating and other than that, dull.

mark

[Ellen Forradalom]

83. Thanks

If Gov Palin leaned any further to the right, she'd fall right over. That's the problem.
We aren't doing ourselves favors with this crap.

[Stump]

84. MILF'S are in...

And she's a pretty hot mom. All guys have fantasies about giving an uptight conservative Christian a good...oh, I'm sorry. I'm calling my shrink now... ;-)

[Iggo]

85. All I said was "Aw, she's pretty."

I say that about a lot of pretty girls.
