i have a friend who has a somewhat sizable share of adoring female fans. tall, handsome, and earnest in a “guy who’d play a widowed bagel shop owner in a screwball comedy starring katherine heigl” sort of way, he’s the type of guy most other guys would assume had good luck with the ladies, so the attention he receives isn’t surprising. i guess he’d be the “anti-jay-z“.
what is surprising, though, is the amount of attention his girlfriend receives among my friends…and how the general feeling about her is split into two distinct and decisive gender-based factions. basically, the men think she’s hot, the women think she’s not, and her level of attractiveness has been an enlightening discussion topic.
at first i assumed that the ladies’ general sense of “eh” in regards to her was birthed in a big ole bucket of haterade, but i soon realized that it wasn’t envy as much as its “she’s just not good-looking enough to be with him” (which brings up an entirely different “damned if you do, damned if you don’t: women are hypocrites” argument, but today isn’t the day for that). they just don’t see what we see when we see her, and no amount of convincing has been able to sway them to even entertain the idea that she’s attractive.
while this debate was somewhat unexpected, it really shouldn’t be. men and women never seem to agree about women’s looks…especially if its not an easy call. sure, most men and women would agree that nia long is great-looking, but once you leave “fine” and venture over to “cute” and “attractive” territory, their idea of what should make a woman appealing rarely matches our idea of what actually does. seriously, i’d bet a week of kelis child support checks that if i chose 30 random pics of women from alltheparties.com and asked a group of 10 men and 10 women to rank them, the women’s top seven and the men’s top seven would house completely different people.
in summary: nas has terrible luck with women
anyway, i’m not exactly sure why this drastic difference in opinion exists, but i have a few theories:
a) it’s God’s payback for men pretending not to know which guys women find attractive.
this theory holds water until you realize that our act is not an act at all. we really have no f*cking clue. for every idris elba and boris kodjoe (men that other men can understand why women are interested in them) there seems to be ten maxwell’s and lil wayne’s (men whose pull on women completely baffles other men), and this confuses us so much that we just stop trying.
b) we just have different ways of looking at women
***things a typical man notices when first looking at maliah michel (the video vixen/stripper/myspace supermodel pictured above)***
pretty. nice hips and thighs. surprisingly small waist for hips and thighs that size. surprisingly small tummy for hips and thighs that size. considering size of hips and thighs, as well as 8 inch distance between her and drake, likely holding mega-donk. long legs. looks like she smells like peach cobbler.
***things a typical woman notices when first looking at maliah michel***
gold stretch pants in may? what year is this, 1984? this b*tch thinks she’s jennifer beals. she should probably do a crunch or two the next time she rocks a see-thru shirt. you can’t have A-cups if your arms are that big. she could be cute if she didn’t look like drake just farted. if she’s been dancing all night, i know it smells like broccoli underneath those american apparel flashdance pants.
c) women are natural haters
***even though this has no real relevance to this topic, i just wanted to put it out there. carry on***
d) women actually are very aware of who and what we find attractive, but their consistent contrasting is just them attempting to convince us that we‘re the ones who have no idea what attractive means
basically, they’re trying some elaborate jedi sh*t to influence our thought patterns and opinions by ovary osmosis. might seem far-fetched, but adam did eat the apple, so anything is possible

Okay?!?!??! Champ really got this point right!
welcome and sh*t
Word on those pants man! Why???
Anyway, Drake ain’t that cute so them together makes sense to me. I happen the think ole girl is cute in the Alicia Key’s/Beyonce “wide” type. They have the quintessential wide white woman body type that’s not too fly, but men love it for some reason.
And this chick’s face is actually cute…despite the face she is making in the pic.
Carry on…

Check some of the links posted by the VSBs. This woman’s backside is nowhere close to being flat like Beyonce’s or Alicia Key’s.

Man, some women can be so superficial…talking about that girl’s pants like that. Us dudes look beyond the surface cause we’re deep like that. It’s what’s under the pants that counts.
LoLoL.
“Man, some women can be so superficial…talking about that girl’s pants like that. Us dudes look beyond the surface cause we’re deep like that. It’s what’s under the pants that counts.”

this is true. we’re deep and sh*t…and we like to get deep
champ, you’re soooo foolish, and sooooo hilarious. i’m just so killed!!!
lmao @ Monk. the one good thing about those pants, for yall, is that you dont have to really GUESS what its like under those pants. they leave nothing to the imagination.
@ Monk,
you’re horrible dude. LoL
Anyone else think that she looks like Rihanna with too many burgers in her.
That’s what I thought at first…
@MissLagos
“Anyone else think that she looks like Rihanna with too many burgers in her.

Maliah’s forehead is way more modest than Rihanna’s. Rihanna is like Bonk from Bonk’s Adventure.
I would have to disagree here though. Even though the pants make her look a hot mess, I wouldnt go as far as to say she’s not attractive. She has a beautiful face.
She’s a beautiful girl, but I would have picked a different outfit that’s more flattering.
i agree about her having a pretty face. and honestly, i can see why men find her attractive.
perhaps because i’m not a lesi i dont look at women’s attractiveness because while i may find them good looking, i’m not attracted to them. so it doesnt behoove me in any way to dwell on her natural born looks, but rather shift my focus to what the hell she CHOSE to look like (and why she chose those damn pants smh)

This is a great point. You still hating though lol jk
lol i am a hater!!!! i want a booty that has a blog post dedicated to it. *pouts*
Thank you for being honest my 1/2/3L sista.
Yeeeaaahhh…
…m’not a fan of the outfit, but that’s not to say that she’s not an attractive woman per se. I just don’t think it’s flattering.
…and I imagine that any lycra/spandex blend + body heat + friction + summer likely = an aroma not unlike stewed rutabaga.

for every idris elba and boris kodjoe (men that other men can understand why women are interested in them) there seems to be ten maxwell’s and lil wayne’s (men whose pull on women completely baffles other men)
Lil Wayne ok, but not Maxwell. He’s sexy, but not in a pretty boy type of way. I will take Maxwell anytime over Idris Elba and Boris Kodjoe.
ok
Maxwell over Idris Elba? I cant cosign this f*ckery.
Fu(kery indeed!
As much as I love MAxwell, I’m with u on this one
@lawschoolb*tch
word…Maxwell has never got me moisted
@LaBakir
“word…Maxwell has never got me moisted”
What about Terry Crews?
@Humble_One
LOL! Nah, not Terry Crews either. I like him in a cool uncle kind of way.
But my man T.I. *shivers*
Lol. I’m obsessed with Maxwell, so I would pick him over just about anyone. It’s more than his looks, he has an aura about him and I love his music.
girl im with you, maxwell is just ..* fans self* enigmatic and tres sexy. i get why people love idris but, im british so his accent does nothing for me, and he is half ghanaian,( my parents are) so his looks are not all that intriguing to me. he is very tall in real life though, and i like the timbre of his voice.
Maxwell over Idris Elba? I cant cosign this f*ckery.
That’s what I’m thinkin’…blasphemy, I say!
*tears this statement in two and leaves it lying on the floor*…(prances away)
Idris Elba’s name is not to be mentioned in the presence of my bf and i.
I immediately go into a dreamlike state complete with uncontrollable mmmm’s and oooh’s and aahhhh’s …..
….. while HE scoffs and pushes me away from him.
LOL
And I am right there with ya… Maxwell?? Emo pandering dude extraordinaire over Idris “mandingo” Elba? Get out of town!
what?! idris ANY and EVERY day over maxwell. i’ve never thought maxwell was cute in the face. he almost looks androgynous, like, i could see him as a manly looking woman.
I’m confused, why is this even a real mystery? Considering that your #1 basically says y’all do the same, I would say there aren’t a lot of stones to throw here.
consider deez
I think ol girl in said picture is pretty, those hot crotch rot stretch pants, not so much.
And I don’t think Drake is cute at all. Sorry, but he’s not going to win any light skin points with me. Ninja look like a narcoleptic tree sloth. Now Maxwell, lawd! It’s just something undeniably sensual and magnetic about that man.
I guess women are able to see pretty in the nonconventional sense as well, meaning someone can still be pretty w/o the weaves, makeup, not being a size 4 or being the color of uncooked chicken.
*flatlines* @”hot crotch rot”
* EKG flatline* @ “Ninja look like a narcoleptic tree sloth.”
omg i died @ that statement as well
“I guess women are able to see pretty in the nonconventional sense as well, meaning someone can still be pretty w/o the weaves, makeup, not being a size 4 or being the color of uncooked chicken”
i had a response here, but the uncooked chicken thing made me literally laugh aloud and lose my train of thought
As a man I have been confused by this obsession with drake as well. Im like huh?!?!?! I guess money and singing will do alot for you. I still feel as though if he was regular brother he would not have gotten that much play. but then maybe Im a hater or maybe its the mild down syndrome look…c’est la vie
“I guess women are able to see pretty in the nonconventional sense as well, meaning someone can still be pretty w/o the weaves, makeup, not being a size 4 or being the color of uncooked chicken.”
Trust me, many of us recognize natural and/or unconventional beauty as well. Your avg. guy would much rather deal with a natural hair wearing, minimal/no makeup wearing, size 8 and up type of woman than the borderline-transvestite, Wendy Williams-inspired women of the world. However, we don’t want to lose our nookie access by telling you that that we don’t like your red lipstick or that Yakki horsetail really ain’t you…I mean, it looks aight, but it ain’t you. Women generally are more daring in their fashion/hair/appearance choices than men…who are we as men to limit or criticize that creativity?
“However, we don’t want to lose our nookie access by telling you that that we don’t like your red lipstick or that Yakki horsetail really ain’t you…I mean, it looks aight, but it ain’t you’
***nodding head in furious agreement***
“size 8″
Clearly didn’t make the cut.
im definitely a couple wing nights over the cut as well. *smh*
Notice I said size 8 and up…checkin for you too, miss
my bad, missed the “and up”! yay for size 10s! lol
“And I don’t think Drake is cute at all. Sorry, but he’s not going to win any light skin points with me. Ninja look like a narcoleptic tree sloth.”
okay. so i’m dead dead. not just a little dead. like, completely. hilarious! and scarily accurate. wow. lol
Ninja look like a narcoleptic tree sloth.
*Cold-Bloooooodeddddd
@I’ll give it a try
“narcoleptic tree sloth”
SOOOOOOO DEAAAAAADDDD!!!!!!!!! LMAO
Ninja look like a narcoleptic tree sloth
*disintergrated*
“Ninja look like a narcoleptic tree sloth”
Haaaaaaaa!! iCried. Like real, actual tears. Thank you for that….
LMFAO! Okay I’m a light skinned chick (very light brown anyway NOT the color of uncooked chicken ) but damn, you made me laugh. You wrong for that! I don’t know why chicks think that light skinned= automatically cute! No! Don’t get me wrong I love dudes of any complexion but darker men have that “it” factor. Just don’t know what it is. They can have Mr. Bright, more chocolate for me. Any woman who don’t see sexy when they see Maxwell is seriously crazy. They’re probably the same crackheads who think Wayne is cute/sexy/any other good word. ew!
I’ve always been that girl who agrees with the guys…I think its because I don’t have the “hater gene” that a lot of women have. lol But seriously, sometimes people just don’t see why others are attracted to someone. I think its just life.
“I think its because I don’t have the “hater gene” that a lot of women have”
i’m sure you do. it’s probably just dormant.
welcome and sh*t, btw
I’ve always been that girl who agrees with the guys…
Same here… but I think it’s mostly because I can find beauty in about anything…
***things a typical woman notices when first looking at maliah michel***
gold stretch pants in may? what year is this, 1984? this b*tch thinks she’s jennifer beals.
Check you out, mind reading and ish! That was honestly the first thing I thought! Well, actually almost. Those gold pants wouldn’t look good in any season. They hideous. Pretty girl, horrid style.
As a woman, I too am rather harsh on other women. BUT- I think there is a difference between attractive (women in pic w. Drake) I just don’t agree with her fashion sense. But she’s thick in the right places, and she’s not ugly= attractive. Pretty or Beautiful is more of a face rating and proper body proportions assuming everything is natural, hair, breasts, butt, etc. Ugly is just Ugly, where even if she had a banging body, or fat ass, you still don’t want to look at her for too long. Guys love to sleep with or engage in other fun activities with “Ugly” chicks. Then my brother told me when men think a girl is “Hot” it means she’s attractive in a slutty way. She’s a hit n run. “Hot” can still be ugly, FYI. I just try to base another’s woman’s looks based on her body and face, making fun of fashion choices are just thrown in for extra hateration or to re-inforce the fact she’s a mess. Sounds complicated, I know, but that’s the best explanation I can offer for my rationalizing other womens looks.
BTW- Maxwell is sexy in an “Intense, I’m gonna put it on you, then sing you to sleep” sort of a way. Lil Wayne is NOT SEXY, Not even with all his money. He’s just gross. I’m baffled by the women who sleep and pro-create with him. He looks like he’s breeding STD’s in his mouth.
“Sounds complicated, I know, but that’s the best explanation I can offer for my rationalizing other womens looks”
it actually doesn’t. its just an expanded version of my 3rd theory.
Re: Lil Wayne “He looks like he’s breeding STD’s in his mouth.” I co-sign so whole heartedly! Ick, ick and more ick!
I co-sign the co-sign. “He look like he got that nasty man’s disease.”
@legitimate_soul
Okay, I laughed so hard at this right here —> “He look like he got that nasty man’s disease.”
Shug Avery reference a la “Cullah Purpuh” (Color Purple). LOL while smh.

AMEN
I’m still mad at Lauren London and nivea…lost tons of repect for then both.
lol, you had tons of respect for lauren london and nivea before?
@ champ touchč not really but I didn’t think they’d go so low as to add themselves to the list of lil waynes baby mamas. Especially Lauren, I blame it on the nu nu character in ATL. Wait in that she went for TI and he was a thug. but at least he’s cute. Hmmm I’ve wasted too many of brain cells.
Especially Lauren, I blame it on the nu nu character in ATL.
Heck, I don’t. She signed up for that role, ’cause it was already in her….and she played it all too well. A natural.
She could have given herself some more time out here before taking the first “option” thrown at her….in due time she would have had a much better lot and more substance to choose from.
But its not too late for her…depends on her. She can either make or break her own progress. I do wish all those involved the best though…I’m sure she receives enough negativity.
Dunno about respect, but it looks like neither one of them gets to have him for awhile….and sounds like he’s already getting into something….dude you’re causing issues already?…and over an mp3 player? Really… But some of his music I actually workout to.
Lauren London will always be “New-New” in my eyes….on and off screen. Kind of how Bey will always be Bey… be it a video or movie…’cause I still say the character she played in Obsessed wasn’t for her….and it could have be executed a lot better by someone else. All that comes to mind is the scene where she says in a somewhat distasteful tone “She wuz naked in yo’ hoe-tell rooom???” …not a southern drawl as some folk describe; but more of a kind of low….slow-hood-chick-flow tone of voice. I had to cover my face for a minute. Attractive woman doing her thing but just didn’t sound very bright and I could not see a connection between them besides the fact that two attractive people were paired together for the role. It was just difficult to sense how she was anywhere on his level. That’s all.
no the line i couldn’t get with was…”jou toush my chile!” in her miss jane pittman accent. just ran all through me everytime i heard it.
@thatchic,
”jou toush my chile!”
Bahahahahaha!!! I swear I feel a cramp in my right side from laughing so hard. A mess.
Do real women really actually do that, in like real life? I am puzzled here.
@ MissBXNYC – LMAO at “he’s breeding STD’s in his mouth”. There is no way I can explain this to my Japanese co-workers.
“BTW- Maxwell is sexy in an “Intense, I’m gonna put it on you, then sing you to sleep” sort of a way. Lil Wayne is NOT SEXY, Not even with all his money. He’s just gross. I’m baffled by the women who sleep and pro-create with him. He looks like he’s breeding STD’s in his mouth.”
Lil wayne is beyond ugly and sh*t. Agreed. Maxwell he is Hot, sexy and everything in between.
Champ the reference to the pants is funny as hell.
I think the difference is s*x appeal. That’s an intangible and as most men don’t want to have s*x with other men
And vice versa its hard to judge that factor in the same s*x. S*xy is like a superpower its only visible
Its applicable to
“S*xy is like a superpower its only visible
Its applicable to”
lol, were you kidnapped in the middle of writing this comment? seriously, though, i get what you’re saying and i agree. you can’t really put a finger on sex appeal (unless you’re in philly, where you can put all the fingers you want on sex appeal, peaches, diamond, and any other stripper you happen to meet)
lmao @ champ’s comment about shay-d being kidnapped. it might actually have to do with her gchat status saying something about her car being stolen yet she got arrested. *kanyeshrug*
but to shay-d’s point, i agree!! and i mentioned something similar up a few threads. im not one of those “omg i cant believe you think shes hot” girls because i can almost always SEE the attractiveness of women to men (and some other women). i just dont feel the same towards them and rightly so.
I can honestly say that I have no idea what men consider attractive. Their jump-off and long-term choices consistently baffle me. I’m starting to think that guys smell pheromones or something that we can’t detect. I mean really, the same guy who’s sprung over a stank face with a 36″-24″-40″ frame is equally daunted by a broomstick with a pretty face. The same guy who worships dimes in every medium of pop culture will suddenly come to the defense of a 5 with a smile and an affable personality, and insist that his female friends are shallow. There’s no method to the madness. Just a random compilation of traits that get men off for no reason (while some are self-explanatory). And as I write this, I realize that the thing that troubles me most is that you guys just aren’t consistent. If you’re shallow creatures, then be consistent. gheesh! That’s all we ask.
By the way, I’d love to take part in that alltheparties survey you suggested in the post.
And as I write this, I realize that the thing that troubles me most is that you guys just aren’t consistent. If you’re shallow creatures, then be consistent. gheesh! That’s all we ask.
and see as men I think we are for the most part consistent. we have 3 major qualities that can trigger us to think a woman is attractive (face, body, personality). as men we can careless about what a woman has on because that can only help her. So as a woman if you have a premium on one of those 3 traits you are moderately attractive to men in general. Now it changes on the men you deal with, but a pretty face will be a pretty face with a majority of men. The same with a nice body or a fat a*s.
“By the way, I’d love to take part in that alltheparties survey you suggested in the post.”
Me too! Next game night maybe Champ will run his experiment.
good idea!!! i’ll make sure cam and i provide the pens and paper to tally the scores LOL
“I mean really, the same guy who’s sprung over a stank face with a 36?-24?-40? frame is equally daunted by a broomstick with a pretty face. The same guy who worships dimes in every medium of pop culture will suddenly come to the defense of a 5 with a smile and an affable personality, and insist that his female friends are shallow. There’s no method to the madness”
doesn’t this just say that most of us are appreciative of a bunch of different types of women? you can’t be more consistent than that
i’ll go a step further. if a woman’s looks are a close call a lot of males probably won’t agree with each other. there is this one girl who goes to school here and a lot of my friends think that she is God’s gift to men. i really don’t know how we got on the subject but some of my friends seem to think that she looks better than gabrielle union. me i think she looks like toucan sam. their reasoning is that she looks exotic while gabrielle union is a regular bad chick (whatever that means).
“if a woman’s looks are a close call a lot of males probably won’t agree with each other”
i agree in theory, but usually went that happens, the dissenting opinion is driven by a couple contrarians.
You are right. I realized long ago dudes would be on women I wouldn’t think they would like. I also realized long ago, it ain’t for me or my place to decide. I wish a ninja would tell me what guy I should think is attractive. So, touche’. Side bar: Proof for us ladies not to be so hard on ourselves and quit trippin’ over things men probably love about us. (Yes, you already told us this in another post, but don’t I get a gold star for “applied learning”, lol!?)
That said, Sista’ in the picture is pretty IMO. I thought sis was pretty before today’s blog topic. The fact that she is built like real people I know surprised me a good way (usually a guy in the limelight like Drake might have handlers that will have him with a woman with a more “mainstream” figure). I have big thighs and had a “pear shape” in my younger years (the top matched the bottom as I got older…late bloomer). Naw, I ain’t feelin’ the gold stretch pants (damn you, American Apparel! – j/k!) but I understand why some might like that. If anybody was rockin’ some ‘ish like a Solid Gold dancer, I must say she is rockin’ it better than most! Sistah looks better and cleaner than Ice-T’s old lady in dem’ stretch pants. No camel toe! Hooray!
Hypothesis on why some of us like Maxwell: Besides the stage presence, charisma and swoon-worthy vocal skill, Maxwell hit the scene looking like Lion-O from Thundercats. Some of us grew up with Thundercats, so it’s a happy association. Not buying that? Well, it’s the charisma, stage presence and swoon worthy vocal skill. He isn’t hard on the eyes either.
Off Topic:Prince comes to mind too. As androgynous as Prince is, he got something about him…..A self-assuredness about his swag, for lack of a better word. That man is sexy. Plus, some of those songs are masterful and his live performances of them are excellent. Prince is a key player/artist on the “monkey-jungle-wolf-howlin’-swing-from-the rafters- Ima’-put-it-on-ya” chex soundtrack. “Scandalous” is my ish!
Sorta back on topic: l don’t understand the Lil’ Wayne attraction at all, Lil’ Wayne looks unclean. He and his grill looks like that Donnie Darko rabbit, but he’s obviously the bee’s knees to some women. Womp.
2 points for the thunder cat reference…….brotha does slightly resemble an inhabitant of Thundera

**************************************************************
See…..I thought I was the only one! I swear, Prince has got that “hmmmm….I wonder if…” factor completely locked up. Man, I know I’d have such a great time with him….all 4 feet of him…in his lil’ red corvette…. (sigh).
Oh yeah, those gold leggings have potential! just the wrong top, IMO…
While we’re talking about Prince (I’ve actually been waiting for this opportunity), can somebody give me a link to the Prince side-eye video clip? You know the one I’m talking about – where he’s walking away and gives you the stank-face. I’ve had so many opportunities to e-deliver that to people, but I can’t find it anywhere.
Prince scares me….like he’ll have you doing stuff you can never repeat…eva!
Well at least you know he will offer you pancakes after having a scandolous, love sexy, joy in repition adoring good time. And yes Adore is hands down one of my favorites.
After some serious consideration on the Prince topic, I have come to a conclusion. Prince is not a sexy man, Price is sex. He is the physical manifestation of the act.

You can put that man in your pocket and be entertained for hours.
While the Champ captured so succinctly what your avg. VSB would think of the above image, I must add one comment….just to make sure that everything is covered.
“….considering size of hips and thighs, as well as 8 inch distance between her and drake, likely holding mega-donk. long legs. looks like she smells like peach cobbler……………..shorty in the middle with the black dress is working with a lil’ something too….legs are on point….from the neck down, she could catch it (pauses, waiting for the young miss to turn around to see what she looks like in the face)….”
Just had to finish the thought out, Champ. Excellent synopsis, though.
That is to say that we could do a whole other post on how evolution has allowed people to look very pleasing (potentially) from behind, that is until they turn around and hit u with the jamie foxx in a blonde wig…..(remembering the ‘in living color’ episode with Wanda and En Vogue)
Yessir, them backshots are an enticing, yet potentially dangerous, situation…for all we know, she could turn around and look just like Drake. and no, I don’t mean a female version OF Drake….I mean Drake.
@DG…
You hit the nail raight on the head. I can’t lie though…ol girl in the black dress with the nice legs and arms…if there’s a flat stomach and gravity hasn’t destoyed her pillows…she could look like the lady who got her face torn off by the chimp…real talk…I’d place her over stretch pants girl without even seeing her face.
This is what women don’t get…a pretty face can be trumped. Show me one chick from your college track squad that was a sprinter…and always single or chasing after dudes. Those chicks dressed up two or three times a year…and killed erthang on campus. Even if she did have a pretty face…nobody gave a shat…the body. Same chick had no problem walking around in her track suit with no makeup, sweaty, and hair all over her head. Yep…was single all of 10 days over 4 years. Pretty face…ok that’s cool…banging body…Cartier.

lol, i never thought about this, but it seems to be true. track chicks (even former track chicks) always seem to have bf’s and dudes waiting patiently in line to replace the bf.
My (then) girlfriend tried some of the Jedi mind trick stuff and tried to make me believe that track girls weren’t fine. I didn’t work.
Then I tried some Jedi trick stuff to convince her that she should be mad at me for thinking track girls were fine.

This chick could get elected to the state senate around where I’m from.
I think the difference is we are subconsciously valuing the things which will be important in the future, follow my train of thought:
Premiss 1 men are mildly to extremely competitive, largely visual creatures
Men value: big butt, little waist, pretty face, fashion sense which put those things on display…..
We know in the future: a few kids in, that natural little waist is the one of the only things we got to bank on that she will have some semblance of that body when they get older (word to Seal and Heidi Klum); if the body comes and goes we can always bank on the face (word to Janet Jackson), almost all men love doggy style so a big butt is always a welcome cushion. alpha males are oft times in competition with the world so ya woman’s style accentuating said assets let other ninjas know, king kong aint got nothin on you!
Premiss 2: Women love themselves…a lot; additionally but not unrelated, women love to hear themselves talk, they want us (men) to facilitate this talking, if we do open our mouths they want to hear a pretty song (especially if it’s about how great They are or what we would do to them if they gave us the chance….)
Women value: cute eyes, cute smiles, ability to sing, height, spirituality
THEY know in the future: they will continue to love to hear themselves talk so as they are talking they would appreciate some nice eyes to look at and a smile to confirm that we are listening and laughing at the appropriate times. When we open our mouths they would prefer that that time be dedicated to singing ballads about our love for them and our spirituality will allow that singing to be coupled to romantic and powerful lyrical content. And finally, when we are out on the town (as it is a known fact women like to do stuff and be taken places) our height just makes the images of us as a couple more aesthetically pleasing.
All of this is facts not fiction, and so it was, and so it shall be.
Happy belated Mother’s day to all the VSS’s with chil’en (in my Miss Sophia voice).
@Blacklaw
Umm, what’s with the Color Purple references this morning?
Premiss 2 had me feeling a little out of place. Somewhat exaggerated too, but I’ll take it you were just being facetious. I found it to be a little too touchy-feely while running through an open meadow of violets and daffodils in slow motion which is so not me…and I’m a
girlyoung woman.In reference to the picture, I don’t find her unattractive. I think she’s what many would consider “a looker”….but only her attitude, personality and how well she articulates herself would determine if she’s deemed “a keeper”. My much older male cousins and uncles would likely focus on her face, waist, hips and “thunda thighs” to include nice legs and well defined calves….while checking to see if the woman’s “got ass fuh’ days”…..
…while on the other hand my much younger (teenage) male cousin will “jone” her about coming out of the house in those coochie-cuttin’-non breathin-yeast infected stretch pants…..while my grandmother’s hauling off at her, giving ‘ol girl the stank face look and shouting “Uh-uh Missy, you ain’t marchin’ yourself outside going nowhere with me and lookin’ like that!”
My point: We’re looking at the same “thing” yet we all see something different. I say, do whatever makes ya’ skirt blow and own that isht.
Premise 2=hilarious, but qualities I look for in a gay best friend. I couldnt see myself dating or actually taking a man like that seriously, lol.
@RocktheCatbox
For real! I’m sitting over here in the corner thinking “Am I the only one who thinks P2 sounds a lil’ moist? LoL.
I’ve never required any man be able to carry a tune or a high pitched ass voice. I nice “man-tone” of voice is good…the deeper the better. But singing to me? Naw…
He can lullaby my ass to sleep alright, but that’ll be a duet for sure. And I’d like to be able to differentiate which one of us is moaning the loudest. Matter of fact I moan, he groans…k? High pitched moans from a dude ain’t cute and will turn the Nile River into the Sahara desert faster than a lamb shakes it’s tail.
The gold pants were the FIRST thing I noticed too. “Gold lycra pants? This isnt Flashdance!”
On the subject matter- I agree that women are more willing to find redeeming qualities in the opposite sex. And once we do this, their level of attractiveness increases exponentially.
And I also agree that men are absolutely bipolar with their taste. The last guy I dated was white, tall, and blonde. Living in a city where black and hispanic men were lacking, this has been my “type” for some time. But for him, this wasnt the case. He’s from a very metropolitan multicultural city/state. And has dated exclusively within his race (short, super thing, blonde, meek). So it’s understandable how I was baffled when suddenly he was interested in this short wide-hipped dominican with a loud mouth. All Im saying is, it would be easier for all of us if you men made up your minds. Y’all need to come correct with this flip-flopping bullsh*t.
I also agree that men are absolutely bipolar with their taste.
Co-sign! In some ways, I think men are harder to figure out than women…
“All Im saying is, it would be easier for all of us if you men made up your minds. Y’all need to come correct with this flip-flopping bullsh*t.”
lol, so chose one chick template and stick with it?
oh man i shouldn’t be laughing this hard at 1:30 in the morning but MAN if i didn’t blech at those gold pants as soon as i scrolled down. lmbo.
“gold stretch pants in may? what year is this, 1984? this b*tch thinks she’s jennifer beals. she should probably do a crunch or two the next time she rocks a see-thru shirt. you can’t have A-cups if your arms are that big. she could be cute if she didn’t look like drake just farted. if she’s been dancing all night, i know it smells like broccoli underneath those american apparel flashdance pants.”
^^ please tell me your girlfriend contributed this part. it sounds sooooo much like my best friend it’s scary. lmbo. i tend to give women a break bc i’d hate someone to have such harsh judgment against me, but she goes HARD, and that arm thing… totally something she’d say. lmbo.
anyhoo… i read an article that said when men look at a woman, they see the whole package, and assess as such. but women, when looking at other women, are detailed, meaning we notice chipped nail polish, bad weave, crooked teeth, disproportionate faces, etc… and assess as such. so where a man would see a model, a woman would see a mess.
“…but women, when looking at other women, are detailed, meaning we notice chipped nail polish, bad weave, crooked teeth, disproportionate faces, etc… and assess as such. so where a man would see a model, a woman would see a mess.”
Co-sign. It’s so true we are designed to pick up on EVERYTHING. Once we find a flaw points are deducted. To a man the “little things” like chipped nail polish don’t matter, but to me is says she’s a) slacking on her upkeep/maintenance b)she was too lazy to six her chipped mani c) didn’t have the money to fix her mani or get a new one or d) she just doesn’t care about her mani and that leads me to believe if a woman will slack off on her hands that people see all the time, she may be slacking in other areas of hygiene and maintenance.
I’m jus sayin’.
Wow….just wow. The psyche of women will forever be a mystery to many of us.
It’s so true we are designed to pick up on EVERYTHING
I don’t think we are “designed” for it… I think, unfortunately, women are socialized that way… and it’s a shame.
“anyhoo… i read an article that said when men look at a woman, they see the whole package, and assess as such. but women, when looking at other women, are detailed, meaning we notice chipped nail polish, bad weave, crooked teeth, disproportionate faces, etc…”
Which supports my theory that most men are bottom line thinkers and (a slew) women have the tendency to be meticulous when it comes to some of the pettiest isht.
Man: “Damn she fine as hayo!…”
Woman: “Hmph, little do you know she’s wearing a pair of spanx up under her skinny jeans and she looks like she’s ’bout overdue for a re-touch….heels hanging half way off the back of her sandals AND “they” ASHY….and “she know” that lipstick is too dayum loud for her complexion…she look a’ight though.”
deep n’ heavy sigh
when men look at a woman, they see the whole package, and assess as such. but women, when looking at other women, are detailed, meaning we notice chipped nail polish, bad weave, crooked teeth, disproportionate faces, etc…
Women are harsh on other women, especially with women with very attractive men. I don’t get it, we say we want men to see more than looks than judge them harshly if they’re not with dimes.
That’s why I go out with the motto “get dressed for the women” in mind because if you get dressed with the thought that women will be watching/judging/joning you, you’ll get it right EVERY time.
this also confirms my theory that as long as a woman (who isn’t 300+ pounds) takes care of her hair, her skin, and her teeth, she will be considered attractive to most men. the scale or ‘rating’ may differ by features of course, but in general if you have those three down, you’re doing well in the attract a man department.
“please tell me your girlfriend contributed this part”
lol, she contributed to the main idea behind the topic, but not that paragraph. she wouldn’t say something like that about another woman
Sh-i-i-i-i-i-t… that’s what you think.
“anyhoo… i read an article that said when men look at a woman, they see the whole package, and assess as such. but women, when looking at other women, are detailed, meaning we notice chipped nail polish, bad weave, crooked teeth, disproportionate faces, etc…”
YUP. My momma always said women dress for other women not for men and I agree.
me and my male friends are always going on and on about which women we find attractive, and we disagree alot of the time too. i didn’t know this happened to other people. i think all around, guys are so much more forgiving and accepting of women’s faults than women themselves. so, this makes men see some women as cute while other women are too busy breaking them down, myself included,
for instance, my guy friend is in love with keri hilson, but i think she looks like a salamander :/
guys are head over heels for amber rose, i think her face looks weathered:
http://modelmagic.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/amber-rose-and-kanyea65f681.jpg
we’ll never be on the same page,
“for instance, my guy friend is in love with keri hilson, but i think she looks like a salamander :/”
thats one sexy ass salamander
A real sexy a** salamander.
People crack me about Keri Hilson. That girl is beautiful. She might have the biggest chest or and much of a booty, but after reading interviews with her, she has the personality to match that pretty face. Plus I got a thing for tall women.
@ComicBookGuy
I think Keri is beautiful….but she’s so whack to me. Her “swag” or whatever one would like to call it…it screams that she’s trying too hard. Like she hasn’t found her lane yet.
I agree with you. It does seem like she is trying to hard to be hip based on today’s standards. She is a beautiful, intelligent, eclectic woman. She really ought to be herself, create her own lane.
What kinda tea did you almost choke on? I’m sippin’ on white tea with some lemon juice. Trying my best to flatten this belly a little bit.
@ComicBookGuy
Exactly! Sometimes I feel as though she just should’ve stayed in her lane….song writing. But noooo everybody wants to be in the lime light.
Yum! That tea sounds good! I love white tea and received some for a birthday gift. The tea leaves come in a ball, and then bloom into a flower once the tea is done brewing. Anywho, I’m sipping on some French Vanilla Chai tea. It’s pretty good. I don’t add any sugar either.
@LaBakir,
ometimes I feel as though she just should’ve stayed in her lane….song writing. But noooo everybody wants to be in the lime light.
lol You are so terrible for that, but I feel ya. When I found out the songs she had written for other people, I thought she was very talented. Same thing with Curtis Mayfield. I always that if I got into the music business, I would be a songwriter. Just let me write the songs and give me my money.
That tea you got for your birthday is pretty cool. Last time I had some chai tea it had a hint of cinnamon in it.
Yup…I just feel people need to have the discernment to know when to stay in their lanes. Look at the old members of Destiny’s Child…they wanted to b*tch about this that and the 3rd b/c they weren’t getting lead vocals etc.
My a$$ would’ve been like “Whatever!” I’ll glady play Jermaine to Michael and be the best darn background singer ever!
I LOVE tea…I’ve been to a few tea parties and I’m in heaven! There’s this restaruant near my house that I absoultely adore…I go there and order pots of tea w/ my desserts. They have so many you can choose from
You about to have me start going to Chinatown here in Houston and get some real Chinese white tea instead of going to Kroger.
@ComicBookGuy
That’s not a bad idea! Let me know what you find…if it’s good, I’ll head to Chinatown in NY and see if I can find the same thing.
my guy friend is in love with keri hilson, but i think she looks like a salamander :/
You bite your tongue! that’s my 4th former wife you talking about
first impressions count..
that outfit obliterates any of her potentially good attributes..
i looked at the pic once then immediately dismissed her..
i wilfully un-saw her..
beyonce is another prime example…. that child refuses get it together…
“first impressions count..
that outfit obliterates any of her potentially good attributes..”
by obliterates you mean accentuates, right?
you say either….
she’d be dead to me all the same…
Women in general just have a tendency to over think whole situation. Men we are very simple creatures so if she got a nice face, personality, or a body she can be seen as attractive enough for men to give our stamp of approval i.e. “I’d beat” or I’d talk to her. Women on the other hand checkin what she wearing and how her weave put in. Like in the picture you got up women are gonna talk about the gold leather pants, and we just care about the a** that fall out of it. The problem comes in when both parties try to place grades on the same set of women. Men we start lookin for 1 of the 3 to declare her cute or straight. and women are looking at variables that most men just don’t care about enough to deter us from making a decision.
“Men we are very simple creatures so if she got a nice face, personality, or a body she can be seen as attractive enough for men to give our stamp of approval i.e. “I’d beat” or I’d talk to her”
this is another topic in itself: how certain terms (ie “i’d beat” or “i’d sport her”) are different from each other, and why.
ii couldn’t go any further when you said something about maxwell not being fine to you or to whomever. that mine is fine even though he is aging a bit poorly.
but then i went further and burst out laughing at the woman’s response to the chick in gold pants. those pants are just unnecessary.
but then i went further and burst out laughing at the woman’s response to the chick in gold pants. those pants are just unnecessary.
this is true. a thong and some heels would suffice

This is sooooo effin hilarious because it is EXACTLY what another woman would say or “think” (for those of us who are a little more evolved and resist the urge to be catty out loud)
“it is EXACTLY what another woman would say or “think” (for those of us who are a little more evolved and resist the urge to be catty out loud)”
What would an evolved woman say or how would she rate this woman? I guess I’m not that evolved because her pants alone have me perplexed beyond words. How can you get past thoes SHINY GOLD PANTS?!?! lol!
The “evolvement” is in the not saying anything but merely thinking it.
It takes extraordinary discipline to see such things and remain silent.
please note that this silent phase of evolution comes shortly after the “it’s too easy” phase – that’s when it’s no longer fun to make the snappy comment about “Flashdance”, “Solid Gold Dancers” etc but still too noteable not to say anything
welcome and sh*t (i think)
Thank You!
ooooooooooooh, i’m so killed by this post – this woman is a beauty, no doubt, but her dress sense is foolish. FOOLISH, you hear me!!! but i can completely see the appeal, her body is the ideal, and her face is lovely. i’m just hurt by that idiotic outfit.
i generally appreciate womens beauty, and am that person who’ll pay a random stranger a compliment if i think she’s looking good – but i DO agree that men and women judge attractiveness differently…. i’m mystified by some women my guy friends think is a vision of perfection and desirability – and i’m looking at her thinking “ag, she’s just okayee – i guess”. then someone i think is gorgeous, the guys are all “get out of here with that nonsense!! you’re being PC, she’s a horror!” as one would say in american, *kanye shrug* heh heh….(i’ve been wanting to use that one for a while now….)
on another note, i have a complaint – for some reason, (despite YEARS of devoted and loyally reading the blog every morning) this site has forgotten who i am (ie, my name & email addy aren’t there – i have to type them in every time i wanna post a response) so i tried to login, so i could return to my former glory as a VSB regular, and apparently typed in the wrong password – so, as prompted, i requested a new one – and the wordsmith administrater thingie said they’d email me a new one – NOTHING!! it’s just as bad as trying to get an ID document at the department of home affairs! Nx!
i’m tired of typing in my name and email addy everytime i wanna comment – you used to know me by name! now i have to reintroduce myself every morning! haai man!! somebody in VSB world please help me!
HEEEEELP!!!!!
I generally appreciate a woman’s beauty, and am that person who’ll pay a random stranger a compliment if i think she’s looking good
That’s pretty much where I am. I’m more into giving credit where its due….man or woman. But if I sense that somehow/somewhere in that person’s demeanor that they’re used to mofos fawning all over their “beautifulness” (that isn’t a word but….SO!)…. I won’t open my mouth. Closed shut – if I get the feeling you’re already too self absorbed. And they don’t have to be the typical “yeah he’s cute”…I don’t discriminate simply because his face doesn’t match the body…if he’s wearing the heyal out of that suit or the color/design of her dress compliments her well – I give ‘em both props. Simple as that.
HEEEEELP!!!!!
I laughed out loud at the notion of Superwoman yelling for help….that isht is so funny to me
I laughed out loud at the notion of Superwoman yelling for help….that isht is so funny to me
hmmmm… and you notice by now, NOBODY has come to my rescue…
@superwoman
Ummm….perhaps its because we’re in the same boat you’re in… in regards to having to retype my moniker/email addy each time I/we post. I just decided not to
voicesweat it and just continued to flow with it. Because I also noticed that when I now decide to reply to a fellow VSB/SS – their moniker does not automatically populate in my response with “@So&So” …. I gotstah do it manually now. No biggie, as long as I can contribute to the topic of discussion in a timely fashion – beats being put in moderation. I say, pick ya’ poison and keep struttin’.“hmmmm… and you notice by now, NOBODY has come to my rescue…”
lol, we’re aware of the issue with the comments, and we’re working on it
okay then…. thankoo!
@superwoman,
….and you see what we just did there? (a la Mr. Saturday Night Live) *chuckle*
“then someone i think is gorgeous, the guys are all “get out of here with that nonsense!! you’re being PC, she’s a horror!” as one would say in american, *kanye shrug* heh heh….(i’ve been wanting to use that one for a while now….)”
**filed under “funny things south africans say”***
what, what??? *kanye shrug* is a fab expression, but it’d be very meaningless to most of the people i hang out with…. i can only speak american to you guys…
but when you log in it won’t let you leave a post…go figure.
The first thing I thought when I saw the woman in the picture was “she is pretty but those pants are out of control” My eyes generally go to a person’s face first but geez how does one not notice those pants?
“geez how does one not notice those pants?”
lol, i kind of think that was the point
I guess so, if you would rather people look at your body rather than your face. But I think that is a whole other issue.
oh my word! the buggers have put my complaining post in moderation purgatory!!! sabotage and censorship!!!!!!
she could be cute if she didn’t look like drake just farted
I didn’t really “get” that expression from the picture, but she does look as if she doesn’t feel like being bothered….like seriously sayin’ “Y’all need to get the heyal on somewhere…”
No dis but when I took a quick glance, I thought she closely favored pro boxer, Laila Ali….no?….(hold on, did I just try Laila or did I just compliment Maliah?) …dunno.
Oh and one more thing: I know that I may get flogged for this, but I’ve never really found Maxwell or Boris that attractive. Nice looking….definitely not bad looking men….they just don’t get the pan-teez all moist is all I’m sayin’….well not off looks alone.
Idris is another story. Whole ‘nutha…
And on that note, I’m about ready to watch the back of my eyelids….
I don’t find Boris very attractive at all. I do like Maxwell, though his singing probably has a lot to with his attractiveness level.
“No dis but when I took a quick glance, I thought she closely favored pro boxer, Laila Ali….no?….(hold on, did I just try Laila or did I just compliment Maliah?) …dunno.”
she does, actually.
YES! YES!! she’s a dead-ringer for Laila Ali – i was sooo confused initially like ‘why on earth is the lovely laila ali dressed this way???’
You are so right because I really thought the post was going to be about something else because I thought the picture was of Laila Ali looking a hot mess.
I first noticed her lack of titty-game. She looks like she should have Double Ds.
I am not sure I would have a woman on my arm dressed like that though. She look a fool.
I’d still attempt holleration.
“I am not sure I would have a woman on my arm dressed like that though. She look a fool.”
I’m glad u said this. No matter how cute a man is, he WILL NOT be standing with me at the club wearing some shinny MC Hammer pants. it’s just not going to happen. lol!
right?!?!?! omg we’d have to have “what not to wear” workshops before i take a brotha out if hes got a bad sense of style.
then again i dont think shes wearing that outfit for “style”. she tryna show the menz her grown woman parts.
OMG!! I’ve sooo been waiting on a guy to say this, because the men I’ve dated would not walk out of the house with me looking like this. Now they might try to smash, just because it’s on display, but definitely not datable.
Let’s be real. Just because someone might get a second look or a long stare doesn’t mean that she will get wifed. The woman with with golden sweat box – no bueno. Attractive? yes. A project? – yes (meaning, I could work with it and with some modifications she can be a reflection of me in the streets). Arm-candy, as is – not so much
@Dash
I am not sure I would have a woman on my arm dressed like that though. She look a fool.
….then….
I’d still attempt holleration.
Right here ^^^
You mind breaking that down? I guess I just don’t see the logic in that.
Why? What are you looking to get in return?….just random conversation?….possibly to see where her head’s at?…or is it simply because although you reject the “get up” …”she’s still fine as frog legs” (thought process)….
Like who really comes out looking worse: The fool? …..or the one who desires to be in the company of one?
This would be similar to the chick who was involved with someone and when the relationship went sour, all of a sudden she’s putting his ass on blast about how much
lessmoney he makes, the holes and skid marks in his draws, his half ass approach towards his own personal hygiene and his inability to satisfy her sexually with that c0cktail weenie he refers to as “Poindexter”.Now he may or may not have been some or even all of those things….but it does not negate the fact that she was down with all of those listed above. So who’s really the fool? I say its the person who knew better than to “ride” with one. Just sayin’…..

It’s very simple, just because she is dressed like a fool doesn’t mean she isn’t a sex panther (by Odeon)! We can care less what you wear with the other ninja, because we get to see you naked. And I’m pretty sure Dash woulda spoke up before she life the house lookin like a fame reject.
So I just looked her, and I think I know why Drizzy didn’t feel the need to say anything about them pants.

My assumption was right, although I never really stated it. So basically Lady Gaga…from Celie to Sophia can get it….so does that include a “butter face” ?
Lady Gaga has a wang…Vogue cover Miss Sophia could get it though. Reverse Harpo was hot on that joint. Celie is no bueno, but Nettie is giggity giggity alright.
LOL at Lady Gaga has a wang. How could I forget Nettie? But that’s pretty obvious.
So Whoopi couldn’t get it?

My assumption was right, although I never really stated it. So basically Lady Gaga…from Celie to Sophia can get it….so does that include a “butter face”?
while your assumption hold true for some men, most men have some types of standards. But if you took a random guy and put 10 girls in front of him, he can probably rationalize sleeping with at least 7 of them.
Thank you for the additional feedback.
But again, that’s what I thought. As stated before with —> “she’s still fine as frog legs” aka “she looks like she’s got that snapper” aka “all I wanna know is how the boo-day works.”
Believe me I’m well aware that men are visual creatures, heyal we all are initially…’cause all we have to really go by is the looks. However, I do believe women are more mental to a fault….i.e…”fluck her mental and the poo-tang will follow”.
With men…the visual is enough. He doesn’t have to know much about you. And ironically, although it seems the visual is enough to grab his attention…even after he gets a hold of “the target”….its not nearly enough to keep him….no matter how fiyah. Y’all don’t get emotionally vested until the woman gives you reason to reconsider y’alls ‘status’ if not, its simply wash, rinse and repeat.
….women are quite the opposite. I believe we of course go by looks initially, but if we’re intrigued to know more….if things progress, we become more emotionally bound and vested, so once we find ourselves falling for the old “bait and catch her”….and its hypnotic??? (and if you make her cry while she “comes” – youcanfugget-it)…..just makes it that much harder to walk away…sometimes.
@Ms. Butta’sWorth

I was surprised myself….I’ve never seen that side of her before. Ever. Work it Whoopi! Work. It.
Simple Breakdown: My intended activities with her do not require pants. I’d try to smash. Nothing deeper than that. She looks like she could crush with those thighs. I would wait to pounce on her just outside the ladies room.
@Dash,
She looks like she could crush with those thighs.
LOL. Yep, that chick don’t need pilates.
….and I can see that. I somehow picture a ménage ŕ trois with you three but more WWF style. You don’t stand a chance…might as well hang that isht up. Don’t worry I got the Ben-gay (now that doesn’t sound right in this context….how about Icy Hot? I sure hope you have a strong back!
“I am not sure I would have a woman on my arm dressed like that though. She look a fool. ….then…. I’d still attempt holleration.”
“You mind breaking that down? I guess I just don’t see the logic in that.”
In addition to what Kirk added, looking past the outfit, she is a relatively attractive lady. Others see her outfit and think “hot mess”. Guys see her and say diamond in the rough. We know that all we have to do is get her to upgrade the accessories and the envy of all women is born. We see past the immediate view and are attracted to the potential of what could be.
I remember a lady friend of mine told me that she met a cool dude, but had to walk away because the heels of his shoes were worn down. I was thinking all she had to do was encourage him to get some new shoes. SMH.
@Caballeroso,
I understand that. Shoo, I see what y’all see….everyday. (looking back at “mine” …LoL)
I was just pointing out that she must not look that foolish in her metallic gold leggings, ’cause most dudes what stick hit that. Repeatedly…..with a beautiful “fool” with a “sick” body.
Simply put: A fool she may be, but she has no problem getting y’alls attention…..and prolly got a killah so good…. ‘if you throw it in the air, it’ll turn into sunshine…” (a la Della Reese – Harlem Nights).
*Caballeroso, Dash and Kirk Lazarus all look up into the distance with a big kool aid smile on their faces…followed by (in unison) a heavy sigh…*

“You’re getting carried away with distributing all of these citations…prolly making VSB laws up as you go along. We’re clearly in a recession….even on the “internets”. LOL”
I didn’t create the laws. You need to talk to Panama and Champ about the laws. You can’t be “packing” secret weapons and keep it from the VSBs. That’s just wrong.

You have violated the VSB rules with this comment. Especially when you said “looking back at “mine”"
VSB code violation: 3.28.1999 – failure to provide pictures with a statement of ones figure.
You will receive a warning on this violation.
@HumbleOne,
What are you, the VSB State Trooper? You can’t do that. I did not go into any detail….I just looked back at it. No description. Nada. Nothing to make you think otherwise.
As a matter of fact, its ONE of my secret weapons. Shhh!

Well, if I did not keep it from you VSBs, then it would not be a secret, now would it? Now hush.
….and I’mma (yes, I’mma) say this….you, Panama & Champ Burger can talk to deez.. LMAO.
You fell right into that one.

You know you made me literally laugh out too loud with this comment? That was a good one. You got me. I’ll get you back.
Thoughts:
(1) Gold lame’ pants? Is she leaving a gay club? With Drake? Is that why he freaked out when he got flashed?
(2) This chick’s body type is the ‘reverse Sherri Sheppard’”
“Gold lame’ pants? Is she leaving a gay club? With Drake? Is that why he freaked out when he got flashed?”
LOL! Apparently she gets a pass on these pants because she is a scripper. They were these sorts of things with there clear shoes.
Loved this post. Best Ever. Straight to the point.
I can also not understand some of the choices men make in terms of physical ‘attractiveness’. Where I would rate a chick a 2, she’d be rated an 8 and vice versa. I just dont get it. But oh well…I guess that’s why I’m not lesbian.
I would have to say ‘(c) women are natural haters’ sadly has to be the most accurate reason, although most of us won’t admit it. I’d like to add that women carry a type of unconscious insecurity that makes them continuously compare themselves amongst each other and seek reassurance to the ever-asked question “Am *I* attractive enough?”.
Especially if a guy you’re attracted to comments about another woman – we are automatically thinking “well, what about me? I don’t have this and that, but i have this and that…am I still attractive to him”"
..or is that just me? Haha..
“I’d like to add that women carry a type of unconscious insecurity that makes them continuously compare themselves amongst each other and seek reassurance to the ever-asked question “Am *I* attractive enough?”
As sad as this is is, it’s totally true, I do this too. I know im attractive. I would call myself ‘cute’, but other people have called be ‘beautiful.’ But regardless of this, if Im dating a guy who keeps talking about someone else’s looks, eventually I will start comparing myself to them, and decide that Im not pretty enough. Women are just f*cked in the head.
Women are just f*cked in the head.
May I ask….why so general? I’ll concur with you that ALOT of women appear to be lacking in basic areas….starting with common sense.
But I won’t even put on and act as if I can relate to that sentiment. And to add to my point, if “she’s” fcuked up mentally, I can almost bet, she did not get that way all by herself. Its very much a learned behavior, usually resulting in lack of effective parental guidance, encouragement and lack of love in the home – if one existed. But even on that note, one cannot continue to place blame on past ills. As an adult, you’re responsible for your own isht. Point blank period.
Man or woman – We have A LOT of walking wounded folk in our midst….with no purpose and not much direction….even as adults.
So placing blame on fuggupedness based on gender is a bit absurd (so I’ll just chuckle that right on off as comedy and sarcasm).
…..and I’ll end with…. ignorant adults tend to raise ignorant children and the vicious cycle continues to thrive.
I’ll be the first to say, I’m not above making poor decisions in my youth….’cause none of us just came out of the womb “just knowin” ….but I still ain’t…won’t – even concur with that.
If anything, that isht just made me feel a little sad for those who are still trying to find their way.
@SeriousWoman
“I’d like to add that women carry a type of unconscious insecurity that makes them continuously compare themselves amongst each other and seek reassurance to the ever-asked question “Am *I* attractive enough?”.”
Exactly! No matter how many compliments we get, we will constantly re-ask the question in our minds.
for every idris elba and boris kodjoe (men that other men can understand why women are interested in them) there seems to be ten maxwell’s and lil wayne’s (men whose pull on women completely baffles other men)
I’ont get this either. I’ve determined that I’m the only black woman in the US who hates to hear (most times) and look at Maxwell. Whenever I see Weezy, I think “well he had nowhere to go but up.” He definitely was not the #1 Stunner back in the day.
I think Maliah Michael is pretty but must admit them pants threw me for a loop.
The chick in the picture looks ok. I’m not going to label here cute or pretty. Can we get a Nia Long pic instead…the world needs more Nia Long.
a) it?s God?s payback for men pretending not to know which guys women find attractive
I’ve got to agree with this. I get Stringer Bell and dudes of his ilk, but my confusion on worsens after that. Trey Songs *looking at Miss Moneypenny sneering* I can’t fathom the appeal of this hush puppy wearing crumb cake. Maxwell baffles me too, he looks like he could be a sexual predator/serial killer/purse snatcher– The type so horrible that all of the Law and Order franchises would have to do a week long crossover to catch. I may be reaching.
b) we just have different ways of looking at women
Real convo:
“You don’t think Nicole Ari Parker is pretty?”
“Nah. She’s a long way from ugly but there’s something about her that won’t let me say it.”
“What does that mean?”
“I just can’t explain it. You better not burn those grits, I know that.”
c) I’m just not touching that ish.
d) women actually are very aware of who and what we find attractive, but their consistent contrasting is just them attempting to convince us that we?re the ones who have no idea what attractive means
Yep. This is like the guy from the Iraqi invasion, Baghdad Bob, who would do on Iraqi tv saying that the yankee infidels’ blood are making the streets run red all the while there are pictures of three Americans smoking Newports in front of a tank. Yep, I still won’t call Nicole Ari Parker pretty.
“…the world needs more Nia Long.”
Nia is very sexy to me. She also looks like a praying mantis in the face.
My friends call Drake “The Owl”…..Hoooo
@its2010dammit
Damn a praying mantis in the face?
As for Drake, i can easily see him snacking on a mouse in a barn somewhere around 3 a.m. That or doing a Tootsie Pop commercial.
@Wu Young Agent of M.E. and its2010dammit
Ya’ll bets-ta stop with the owl jokes! I think Drake is attractive in a weird sort of way.
*heads to pet store to purchase mice*
Here Drakey Drakey!
@LaBakir
Can you deal with him perching on your head board of your bed and sleeping all day?
@Wu Young Agent of M.E.

Okay so the only point I agree with is b, though I think the examples aren’t universal. (I don’t get invested in randoms enough to dissect how they look. I don’t even do that with people I know.)
It makes sense that what a dude and chick find attractive are different, especially if you’re just considering aesthetics. However, people aren’t hardwired to consider others that way.
Dude looks at chicks and subconsciously thinks “she has characteristics that I’d want to mix with my seed” subtext: “I’d beat” (essentially the basis of attraction with men.)
Chicks consider attractiveness via how well of a provider the person would be. Lesbianist (lol) thoughts aside, “she looks like she doesn’t have good judgment and would not be a good person to mate with.” Subtext: “she looks like a hot mess”).
I don’t know if it’s because I understand this fact or not, but when I measure people’s attractiveness, I care more about the combination of personality and looks than just looks. To me, the dude could be technically good looking, but if they have an unattractive personality, a filter in my brain honestly makes them look like Little Wayne.

Exactly. I was watching some special on the science behind attraction and they were basically saying that women from an evolutionary perspective look for the man that can bring home the biggest piece of meat. In today’s terms who makes the most money. Therefore, how a man is dressed and takes care of himself is what women look for. (I guess this same process transfers over to how women look at other women.)
Men are attracted to women with hour glass figures because that is signal that they are the most fertile. Men tend to be more attracted to women that are ovulating and even strippers that are ovulating get more tips.

Hilarious! Good observation.
1–Has anyone read the tags for this post?? Broccoli booty, entries that are at least 22% gay…seriously?! Champ, I love you for your randomness
2-In general I think women look define attractive as “How do you look to the general public or appear on film?”. Men tend to define attractive as “Would I have sex with you or not dog my boy if he had sex with you?”. There’s a difference between being pretty/cute/beautiful and being sexy. Ideally we’ll all have a little of both.
3-Maxwell ISN’T attractive but his voice makes my panties melt. Lil’ Wayne looks like something “People Under The Stairs” and I wouldn’t let his hyper-virile self within breathing distance of me…however, he does have a swagger about him that you have to appreciate.
4-Finally, thank ya’ll for the great laughs this morning! I have a loong day ahead of me and it’s good too start it on a happy note. I’m new to VSB but I love it. Please keep it coming!!
I think Maxwell is sexy. Both Maxwell and Weezy ooze sex appeal. A lot of more attractive men do not have that. For me, that makes those men less attractive.
weezy ooze sex appeal…blasphemy.
How else would you explain his appeal to some sistas? He is not attractive in the face, but there is definitely someting about him that makes women want to have unprotected sex with him.
It might be the money

______________________________________________
Weezy “ooooozes” sex appeal? Uummmmm…..
Are you feeling okay?
The girl in the pic is attractive..the gold pants are not….I know alot of beautiful women of all shades and creeds…I just don’t care who my man thinks is cute…I would never ask him who is cute and who is not..I know his type already…..somebody thinks the finest woman is average and the most unfortunate looking woman is a goddess..its all relative.
That is all.
That’s the first time I’ve seen her with actual pants of any kind on so I’m impressed. Didn’t think she owned any.
Yea I think she would have won more hearts without the pants
@The Champ
“if she’s been dancing all night, i know it smells like broccoli underneath those american apparel flashdance pants.”
C’mon champie I’m I’ll eating breakfast!!!! That has to be the single most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard referenced in discussing a woman’s… ahem…. scent down there…
Basically I thnk for men all women fall into two categories… Girls that are “wifey” material and girls that you’d f*ck. So chicks like umm iono, nia long, angela bassett, halle berry… you’d wife them. Then you have your Amber Roses, Deelishus from the Flavor of Love, your Dollicia Bryans… Cute? Eh maybe to their mamas… but I’m sure you’d f*ck the sh*t outta them given the opportunity. Take home to mama? Ummm not so much..
Women of course are going to be more critical of other women because we’re more critical of ourselves. We worry about shit like our pores looking big or one breast being slightly bigger and pointier than the other…. *pause, hanging head in shame* Ok I digress, just sayin we notice all kinds of sh*t men don’t so there’s your disparity
@BKSweetheart
“Women of course are going to be more critical of other women because we’re more critical of ourselves”
That’s it in a nutshell!
I second that
I think she’s attractive… But I usually tend to agree with guys on this matter… Could be cause I lean towards the middle on the sexuality scale. Oh, and given where the pic was taken (check the atlpics tag) the outfit kinda gets a pass. *kanye shrug*
I knew this had to be a club in Atlanta… the city were thick thighs
in ugly pantsalways gets a pass. lolI thought thick thighs got a pass in every city with a black population except for LA?
The first thing I thought was “Oh, she is pretty, but those gold pants and see through shirt have got to go, STAT!”
Ladies…let’s be honest. We know exactly which women are attractive and why men would be attracted to her. We just don’t wanna admit that she’s 10 times more attractive then us. I’m just saying…
I concur
a) it’s God’s payback for men pretending not to know which guys women find attractive.
I think it is an act even you in this post described your friend attractiveness perhaps not viewed by you but at least by others. Men at least have a clue based on the women he attracts. The men I know act like they have no idea if there friend is butt ugly or not.
Speaking of butt ugly…I don’t understand the attraction to lil Wayne so you’re not alone on that, he looks like a gremlin.
And um maxwell can sing (and falsetto at that), he’s mysterious, his skin is flawless, his smile is beautiful, he’s humble. I love his new look..the way he wears those three piece suits and I love the close cut.
b) we just have different ways of looking at women
I think this explaination was both hilarious and partially true. I see the guys sum up totally. I would just add that all women don’t be sizing up other women like than. I mean I would question the gold leggings but I totally see her and drake together.
I do think we women are critical, of ourselves and other, because I have a guy friend who loves this leggings craze and I was like Seriously?! Half these chicks are wrong as he!! for wearing them. He: Maybe a few not half Me: WTF!
c) women are natural haters
**not true!!!**
d) women actually are very aware of who and what we find attractive, but their consistent contrasting is just them attempting to convince us that we‘re the ones who have no idea what attractive means
Uhh huh…
You are absolutely right. We women(read: me, myself, & I) usually includes a lady’s whole style in determining her attractiveness level. When I first saw the pic, all I thought was that ol’ girls thighs are too big for those cheap ass gold pants. lol. However, if she had had on a different, more becoming outfit, I may have thought differently, and thus gave her more points on the attractiveness scale. As is, she’s maybe a 6, at best. lol.
Of course, I expect most of the men to think we’re just haters, but the reality is a lot of men find mud ducks attractive if she as a nice rump. And to that I say, do better fellas. lol
“As is, she’s maybe a 6, at best. lol.”
A 6?? Dang, stop drinking that haterade. Yeah, the pants are a hot mess, but that girl is gorgeous. She’s at least a 7 or an 8.
As a woman, when I look at other women, I usually first see face, body mass, proportionality, hair, etc. The clothes, even if they’re hideous, will not count that much on the overall attractiveness scale. Clothes can be changed, an ugly face cant (at least not with the same ease).
@lawschoolb*tch
“She’s at least a 7 or an 8″
I agree. This girl is very attractive. To give her anything less would be hatin (seriously).
I usually tend to agree with the guys when it comes to looks, but I do sprinkle in some haterade for bad style. It think the girl in the picture actually is attractive, she just has the style of me freshman and sophomore years of college… sluttacious and hosh*t in nature. But also I would venture to say that she is at some sort of club or groupie event and has on her uniform, just like you wouldn’t see a McDonald’s worker with gold lame stretchpants serving up your Big Mac, how would she look administering hosh*t in a collared shirt and paper hat?
I think the girl is pretty.
My 1st thought was that she’s thicker than a Snicker.
2nd…why does she have on those pants.
@LaBakir
She’s dressed like an extra from the movie “Dancehall Queen” or a Chaka Demus & Pliers video.

“the men think she’s hot, the women think she’s not, and her level of attractiveness has been an enlightening discussion topic.”
Because I might know what friend you are talking about, I will add my 26 cents. It’s not this his girl isn’t attractive, it’s that we as women see him being with a MUCH more attractive woman. I have this theory that we all date with in out “attractive range” for the most part. I’m not saying a 3 can’t date a 10 because it happens. On average most folks date someone in their range +/- a standard deviation. This guys is a 10 in the eyes of most women and his mate is maybe a solid 6. I was just surprised that he wouldn’t be walking around with a super attractive woman on his arm.
you know some men that are 10′s etc intentionally deal with 5′s and lower…due to a higher thirst and lower accountability level etc.
One of my uncles did this, alhto I find that weak LOL
“It’s not this his girl isn’t attractive, it’s that we as women see him being with a MUCH more attractive woman. ”
Excellent point. I think this girl is pretty, so Im not applying this theory to this particular instance. But it is very common for women (ie. me) to be more critical of so-so women, who are with insanely attractive males. It’s not that the woman is not somewhat attractive, it’s that she’s not attractive enough for him.
Example #1: Denzel Washington and his wife
Example #2: Hugh Jackman and his wife
“It’s not that the woman is not somewhat attractive, it’s that she’s not attractive enough for him.”
I think you guys are giving Drake a little too much credit. I personally think the opposite. I think she is too much of a woman (meaning in terms of sex appeal) for him. He is very kiddish to me so I would see him with more of a pop tart chick. (Just me though)
@CNotes,
Agreed.
@CNotes,
LOL at pop tart chick. And I thought I was the only one who used that particular term when describing an individual who’s young, dumb and full of “c’umm.
@Ms.Butta’sWorth
Yeah….Pop Tart is one of my terms! LOL! Your description sums it up nicely though. : )
I think this girl is pretty, so Im not applying this theory to this particular instance.

It’s not that the woman is not somewhat attractive, it’s that she’s not attractive enough for him.
Okay, this is familiar….I recognize the play but I always thought chicks “was feelin’ ” kinda salty because they themselves felt such a
fortunate, yet less attractive (according to some)woman did not deserve the guy…AND that they themselves were entitled to him. And don’t get me started if she’s thicker or overweight, too short or too tall, has a child(ren) from a previous relationship, has anything less than a ph.d behind her name…too dark or too light (in complexion)…man, I can go on & on.…cryin’ shame.
Young the saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder taint nothing but the truth……..some beauty is universal like you pointed out but then most is very subjective. If a nucca finds someone beautiful/hot who am I to dispute that, LOL attraction is a strange animal…The dude that I thought was the ultimate once might not even register with some chics altho most saw his ultimateness, couldn’t be denied, LOL ….
she might be cute–but I can’t hardly see her face. I need a better pic of her face full on. from what I can tell she’s cute though.
I won’t even get into the outfit–but those pants are a #fail.
and I don’t disagree with the post. LOL good job!
You know what?? As I’m reading through the posts for the day, you inspired me to go goole some more pics of her….
Idk, her face is not as bomb as I want it to be.
*kanyeshrug
Champ wants to call us women haters, but I think women judge other women the same way they judge men. We don’t beceome all detailed JUSt when describing women. It’s clear by how women describe the types of men they want, white teeth, 6’3, dark skinner and so on. I tend not to judege women any different than how I would judge a man. Granted I may be less harsh on a woman because I am woman and I don’t have any natural desire to sleep with one.
Its funny how woman will hat on a bad chick ans say she isn’t cut and this that and the other. Then tell you her friend who is a 6 is cute. #Whatsthebasis?
@ Young Simba
Maybe because she knows her friend, so her personality is coming into to play when she says her friend is cute. Her recommendation isn’t based on looks alone.
Also some people have different tastes.. I aint gon lie, if I see a chick that’s legimately 9 or 10 status, I’m gonna look for the one thing that’s off about her.. In my head its like, “Damn… she has like the perfect figure… perfect hair.. perfect skin…d*mn I’m loving them shoes.. f*ckin b*tch!! Oh wait.. she has fake nails… look at that cheap ass jewelry she’s wearing.. bet you she’s dumb… bet she didn’t even go to college.. she probably someones administrative assistant/secretary/call center rep (nttawwt btw – I started in Cust Serv long ago now I’m an IT manager) .. she just lookin for a sugar daddy…” etc etc
You catch my drift.. In my mind I’ll tear a b*tch to shreads if I think she’s cuter than me… Casue in my mind, if you’re just cute but dumb, then you’re not a 9 or 10 (I’m sure most guys don’t think like that though) But I don’t really consider myself a hater, cause I could go on and become friends with said girl and it’d be all good. Its just something I unconsciously do.. I think all women do to a certain extent. You gotta size up the competition, lol.
that’s exactly what it is… competition. I wonder what the differentiability is between married women and single women when it comes to “sizing up” a chik. I wonder if single women are harsher than married women because married women don’t really gotta compete anymore… things that make you go hmmmm.
I wonder if single women are harsher than married women because married women don’t really gotta compete anymore… things that make you go hmmmm.
On the contrary….going by conversations of many a married woman….apparently the competition continues….especially since the divorce rate is pretty much 50/50.
There’s one of many issues that fail in many relationships….that “I got him/her ass now”….and “they” aren’t going anywhere…” – that attitude will fluck it up before it begins.
She may have him, but she’s gotta put in work (collectively they both do)….to
keepmaintain the relationship.What makes some folk think that the things you do initially to get the man/woman is not as important to keep their asses?….and expect them to WANT to stick around? I’m sorry, your call cannot be completed at this time, please CHECK
yourselfthe number and dial again…buh’ bye.Ok, I’m just NOT that female always picking other females apart. It’s just not my thang, I guess it’s the way I was raised my Mom neva did sh*t like that. I’m the kind of person that sees something great and unique about EVERYONE. I just really like to see a woman look her best be confident in the woman God made her to be, and carry herself that way. I have always had a great personality, I can go anywhere and fit in, it’s a gift
. So on the looks and body tip, I am human and have flaws, so I accentuate the positive to take attention away from the negative. IMO, ALL GROWN WOMEN should know how to do that, my comment for yesturday’s post! So looking at the pic, the first thing I said when I saw it was, OOOOO no WONDER look at the hip, thighs, small waist, long hair, cute face. The pants are not my style but she was CLEARLY dressing for her man, and the attention of other men and she got it! With a bottom half like that, nothing draws more attention to it than gold leggings. Go girl, game recognize game!
Ok, I’m just NOT that female always picking other females apart.
*head nod* and good points in your post.
I believe by doing that it just tells more of a story about how “we” truly feel about ourselves.
Children seek validation from their peers, grown folk find it within themselves.
‘Cause truth be told, we all have a little fuggedupness within us that could use a little self improvement or even acknowledgment to embrace what’s “in us” therefore making us who we are. No need going around damn near killin’ ya self trying to get acceptance from folks who don’t really give a flying fluck about you nor have your best interest at heart. Of course, we learn these things as we go through life and began to man/woman up.
Taking the time to put so much stock and attention towards someone else and their own lack of self improvement, gives less time for folks to focus and put more attention towards their own shortcomings; best believe someone/somewhere as expressed this exact sentiment about some of us…at some point, when at that moment in our lives we truly felt hands down, we were the cat’s meow.
slightly disagree with validation coming from within self, it does but its placed there by a much higher source, where only true validation comes from.
Understandably for some…..but I realize that’s not everyone’s story. However, they come into “their own” it is still my belief that it stems from trial and error and maturity….self realization followed by self validation…..when it strictly comes down to what our peers, family, close friends or foe thinks/expects of us.
Because there’s no denying that the tendency of an individual seeking to be accepted by others, to include societal views on how they should look and/or behave is very juvenile. Full fledged adults (through growth and maturity, not age) usually have already come to grips with this….and this “belief” is usually passed down to their own children. ‘Cause truth be told, a lot of adults are introduced to that higher power by the influence of parents or other elders….and therefore accept it as a part of there life because they are taught to. Slave owners introduced Christianity to their slaves and slaves introduced Christianity to their children….and so on.
But once you are an adult, that decision is totally up to you – the individual – the adult. Not cha’ Mama & nem….You.
Children understandably grow up seeking their parents validation and as they get older….they transfer that to their peers. But once they reach adulthood, it is then and there where they truly have to learn how to live and think for themselves and take ownership of that, no matter where the chips may fall.
…and I’m not even (yes “not even”) gon’ go to chuch on this right here…
I’ll leave it at that.
You nailed it! Women like to hate on other women that catch the eyes of their man. Maybe it’s a defense mechanism. Cause they do it instinctively.
Men are visual so they are going to be attracted to what appeals to their preference…if you have an azz man, that is going to be the first thing he sees, if he is a breast man…that is what he is going to look at. In my experience, men are not looking at a women and thinking they are marriage material…that would take time to figure. Yes, homegirls pants are tacky, but she is pretty and can always change clothes. They are usually trying to hit first, ask questions later. Men are not going to see an attractive women and put any energy trying to decide if those pants mixed with heat have made her smell like chittlings..they are trying to figure out what to say thats going to make her take the patns off…
The same women who look like Ving Rhames in Holiday Heart in the face but have an azz like Buffy will be with the attractive man (or the Shrek looking dude with money).
That’s the truth! Women need to stop over analyzing and realise that men are really very simple. Really. Once you embrace that that’s their prime objective they become easy to understand…and negotiate with.lol
I’m sure this comment will be ridiculed, or worse, I will be accused of being from a dude from atlanta who wasn’t BORN in atlanta.. (nttawtt), but… I just don’t think shawtie is the answer. Let’s get this straight. She is definitely a cute girl.. but “banging”??? meh..
Those hips/thighs tell me she is, barring a major dietary overhaul, 5 years/1 kid/1 serious breakup away from being.. “sloppy” I’ll take a lauryn hill/lisa bonet/n’bushe wright/danai gurira body(and mind) type over this chick (who is also most likely a chickenhead) over this vh every day and twice on sunday.. just sayin
If you want an example of an absolute BANGER who men love and a great deal of women are confounded by.. look no further than the always beautiful (and CH-ish..) megan goode. i just wish she had as much talen as she does body so I could watch her in a movie..
gotD*MN that girl is fine.
@n8te
“Those hips/thighs tell me she is, barring a major dietary overhaul, 5 years/1 kid/1 serious breakup away from being”
Cosign. If she doesn’t workout and watch her diet it’s a wrap for her long-term. Her “foundation” is complete. There is no more room for growth. So if she has 1 or 2 kids she is finished.
she’s the person who came to mind immediately for me. my best friend, a guy, thinks she’s incredible. i just don’t get it. she kinda look like an alien.
and what’s up with the eternal pout… that isht is just annoying. I mean really Megan are your lips frozen like that?- it’s just weird *shrug*
I think she is attractive on a hood level. She is hood-fine. I don’t think women understand how guys looks at women.The taste in women of most men expands when they get older. Unless he is a Diva Dude. Younger guys taste in women is narrow compared to dudes in their late 20s and older. Women also don’t get that men look at women in roughly about 3 ways.
1) Can I be seen with her?
This is all a guy needs for a girlfriend or wife. Yeah we all want Gabrielle Union’s face on a 36D-24-42 body but we are pretty realistic and realize that that type of woman is a want not a requirement. At a certain point peace of mind(a woman that gives you minimal problems) outweighs everything else.
2) I’d smash
Basically he’d smash and there is a chance it might grow from there. This all depends on how you are as a person. He may work for it but it is on a case by case basis.
2a) I’d smash but I ain’t working for it.
Basically he’d smash but there will be nothing more happening with her. No dates, affection, special treatment, chivalry, going out of his way for you, etc. If you offer he’ll take it but he won’t approach you about it.
Side Note: that pic doesn’t do Maliah Michel justice. This is a better pic. Caution: there is no nudity but she has on daisy-duke type shorts
http://forbezdvd.com/blog/2010/04/11/pics-maliah-michel-in-her-front-yard-damn/.
LMAO!! Those shorts go way beyond anything Daisy Duke would wear. I guess that pic would go along with your #2a. lol
OK Im sorry I must say that ish looks TERRIBLE. I know guys like the thick legs and such but that bish looks deformed or something. Not to mention…. that ish might be all tight and right at 25…. wait til she hit 45… um not so much

“OK Im sorry I must say that ish looks TERRIBLE. I know guys like the thick legs and such but that bish looks deformed or something. Not to mention…. that ish might be all tight and right at 25…. wait til she hit 45… um not so much”
I agree. I said this in another comment today. She looks good now but she is built the way you want your woman to be built after a couple of kids. Right now she is one or two kids or a slack off in working out from falling off
Yessir. Humble One has laid it down and it no longer needs to be laid.
lmao omg i hate to admit it but i swear champ was reading my mind because he damn near quoted my train of though verbatim in part b when i first saw the post’s pic. smh.
and i also hate to admit that 60% of the time he’s right everytime. including his current observation about how women view other women’s attractiveness. smh again.
oh well.. GO CELTICS!!!
GO CELTICS!!!!
Game 6!
brilliant post. attempted jedi mind-tricks, indeed.
Ohemgee! I talk about this all the time with dudes. I think I recognize and acknowledge a pretty woman when I see one. I’m often perplexed at what yall think is attractive. Sometimes I wonder if yall just overlook the face and go straight to the body.
I also side eye dudes who go gaga for the big booty chicks as if they aren’t going to blow up after they birth a kid or two. Then dude will be complaining about how large she is. Me? I have a nice size fit azz and a man can rest assured it has room to grow. Let me have two kids and it’ll be exactly the size you want. See the rationale? Am I hating? Maybe. But it makes perfect sense to me. I’m forward thinking and sh*t.
Great post by the way.
I co-sign with most of these observations, and at my age realize:
1. Women are going to “hate” regardless. Nothing is ever “right” with them.
2. Normally, they will hate because they know they don’t hold a flame to the girl they are roasting, unless of course she’s a hot mess and makes her look better.
3. I’d smash Maliah Michaels given the chance and any dude who says he absolutely wouldn’t should be sent to Atlanta with the new name “Toine.”
4. Women always swear they know who you’ll “look good with,” even if it’s their chubby leftover friend who has a collection of porcelain dogs. You NEVER think you look good with that person.

Okay, you brought something to mind: My cousin. We grew up like sisters. Six months apart, she’s “older”. However, some family members unfortunately attempted to condition us as rivals…which did not work with me – her? A whole ‘nutha Oprah. And I still see how she has the same mentality towards me as she did when we were children. I was constantly hated on by her. Everything was a competition. Fast forward 10 years, she then admits out of the blue that she envied me for various reasons. I thought that was really big of her and somewhat admired her for her honesty, although I always “had my hunches”.
But….when I began to notice how she was becoming more social (since she’s always been an introvert)…I truly thought bygones were bygones and looked forward to hearing about how active her lifestyle became….and was even amused at her stories of finding herself to be the pick of the litter with a group of people she had befriended and began to hang out with regularly (men and women). Strangely, I had never met anyone of them, nor randomly seen her out with them. Until one day….she came by and made a comment about a few of her new buddies waiting downstairs in the car. I thought nothing of it until I saw some of them.
I had to call shullbit on the play.
Apparently, (it appeared) she surrounded herself with folks who appeared to be less attractive (in some form or fashion) than she was. It was that obvious. I tried to keep that isht to myself, but when I called her on it…..she died laughing non-stop and refused to deny it was so….and still laughs about it till this day.
maxwell, i can understand. but i will never comprehend how anyone can find that roach of a man weezy f. baby attractive. i’m pretty sure that if he touched me, my skin would sizzle
i’m pretty sure that if he touched me, my skin would sizzle
and you’d probably be impregnated
So, you caught on to the jedi sh*t, huh? I thought that girl was cute, minus those pants. And I don’t understand Lil Wayne’s attraction either. Does he bathe? My teenagers have helped me to cut down on the excessive haterism.
I feel the need to break something down that is being skirted over…
36-24-36…the basic hourglass shape…which can also be 32-24-34 or 38-28-44. So…Gabrielle Union, Keri Hilson, track chicks, ol girl in the black dress with gold tights lady (pic for this post), Ciara, Naomi Campbell, Angela Basset, Buffy the Body, Ki Toy Johnson, Kenya Moore…all different sizes of women…with different sized lady pillows and arses.
The constant…nice legs and no big kangaroo pouches. It’s all about proportionment. And “body magic” girdles and jeans are the devil.
Champ, you have been on point with your topics lately, man. This is one very interesting. The gold stretch pants really throw everything off with Maliah Michel, who is a very pretty woman in my opinion. Her body is pretty much built like a lot of black women out there, which is a beautiful thing. Men mostly are going to pulled in by a woman based on her body and then maybe, just maybe we will consider what she is wearing. Women can be the exact opposite, meaning when they see another woman, they will see what she is wearing and then look at her body to see if the two really go together. I am a weird dude because I think a lot like a woman at times. Blame my mom and my sisters. I do notice how women dresses a lot more now that I am older and then check out her body to see in her jeans, dress, etc. accentuate the curves in her body and see if it goes together. Now if Maliah was in a nice dress in the picture, her attraction factor may have gone up for me, but with the shiny pants and the see thru shirt (which is shame to look at because she need some boobs) really just doesn’t do it for me. Yeah, she has a pretty face and a dump truck booty with a small waist, but I have a active imagination so she would left some for my imagination, it would make her a lot more attractive me, but I am an odd guy. Normal is boring.
Oh one more thing, I don’t know what they feed these women down in Houston, but Maliah Michel is a prime example of hormones in chicken going straight to her booty. Miss Koi is from the H and she is another example of that as well.
http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks325vXhLx1qzdidoo1_500.jpg
@ComicBookGuy
You know about Miss Koi too? I got some good pics of her. I’m not feeling her calves. I feel you on the way a woman dress although I’m nowhere as hard as a woman. Like if I see a woman my age in Baby-Phat or Dereon it’s a turn-off. It doesn’t mean I wouldn’t hit but I would have a hard time taking her serious. Same thing with a woman wearing gaudy designer clothes. It’s a turn-off if she has on a big Gucci, LV, etc on her clothes, purse, shoes, etc.
@Humble_One
Miss Koi blew me away the first time I saw her. Her waist is so damn compared to the size of the booty. There is a big name photographer out her that took most of her pictures, plus you can see around the H sometimes. Honestly, seeing an pretty woman with a nice sundress on in the summer will get my attention than a chick in spandex pants or short shorts. Sure she will turn my head, but the woman in the sundress will keep my attention. Just like with a man, the way a woman dresses will tell you a lot about her.
@ComicBookGuy
My boy just moved to Houston from here 2 months ago. He told me that it is NICE down there as far as women. He told me that you have all flavors of Black women there.
…..plans trip to Houston
As a native Houstonian (Born and Bred babyyyyy)
I can cosign on the high ratio of stallions walking around…
Something abt the humidity in the air and the frenchy’s fried chkn does a body RIGHT!
@ComicBookGuy
“Honestly, seeing an pretty woman with a nice sundress on in the summer will get my attention than a chick in spandex pants or short shorts.”
I can agree with you with the spandex. Idk about the short shorts. I haven’t seen a woman in a sundress in a long time. I use to like when women would wear them and the hem would sit higher in the back than in the front.
Go ahead and make that move down to the H, man. There are plenty of sundress wearing women around here. The way a sundress can hug the curves of a woman is a sight to behold.
dagnabit!! i wish i was born in houston!! i could use more @$$ without more everything else. *smh & sigh*
@ComicBookGuy
Brother, please warn me next time I click on a pic of this nature. Had one of my male students walked on this pick, they would’ve busted a nut on site!
SMH…that’s a whole lotta a$$…gotdamn…gotdamn. I know she has trouble finding jeans that cover that amount of a$$age w/o being extremely big in the waist
@LaBakir
“Brother, please warn me next time I click on a pic of this nature. Had one of my male students walked on this pick, they would’ve busted a nut on site!”
If he would have done that seeing his pic I’d hate to hear what he would have done if he saw the pic I posted.
@Humble_One
SMH…I’m curious now…where’s this pic you posted?

My bad. Something told me to put a warning on that picture. LMAO
@Humble_One
Yeah…that pic was straight a$$age as well
@ComicBookGuy…lol…yes, please give a warning..pleaseandthankyou
“I don’t know what they feed these women down in Houston”
You already know that’s not just the H…that’s mostly TX, period…LMAO
You right about that, T-Lee. You got some in Austin and Dallas is just as bad as Houston.
*snickering*
Yea I’m guilty of judging other women harshly. This was my thoughts
“why is this chick wearing gold leggings? [I saw Drake's face] Is this some kind of early Halloween party? Is she dressed as Superwoman or sumthin? Damn I can’t stand chicks who try to dress up their Halloween outfits. I mean really is the blazer necessary. And she better not be wearing gold pumps with those. And who is Drake suppose to be? Action hero Ug Lee….”
Those pants are soooo 1970′s ish but she’s doing her thing tho so I say do you sista.
Champ, that pic in today’s post is just inviting chick-patrons of hatred.
Here’s a better pic: http://mediatakeout.com/40667/dayumm…ctacular_.html
Also, I agree with “C”… women do tend to be natural haters. Even the most down-to-earth, wholesome, sweet woman has mastered the jedi (really sith) skill of the backhanded compliment.
Example: (with high voice inflection) Oh… she’s cute! She has this athletic, Macy Gray, type of look.
@SouthernCharm
Good pic. That side profile will always show what she is really working with. Whats crazy is that she was width and roundness.
*starts slow clap then standing ovation* in reference to this picture.
*joins in standing ovation*
*cues Jay-Z, “A Star Is Born”
Bottom line: people need to stop worrying so much about what other people think and do what’s best for them. That’s why society is so jacked up now. LOL @ “… I bet a week of Kelis’ child support…” damn.
I think that women typically hate on people with atributes that they don’t have.
For instance, if a chick has mostly thick women in her fam she may lean toward hating on girls that are skinny, or if a chick has mostly slim chicks with no a** in the fam, they may hate on chicks with large behinds and wide hips. Matter fact, some woman are just jealous and hate on anyone that they feel is competition. Not all women are haters, but alot are…Sad but true
I think you’re right Champ…(C ) is true.
I think that women typically hate on people with attributes that they don’t have.
I think this sums it up with today’s topic. It’s like the woman looks to good…so let me see if I can pinpoint any areas that she’s totally jacked up in…
Sadly, in the minds of some irreversibly insecure women, obviously laying as many flaws about her on the table, makes her less intimidating, basically.
sidenote: i would not call those pants “gold”. more like a copper or bronze. metallic nonetheless.
let me add that Nas has great taste. I’m a young woman and Kelis is beautiful
@Anonymous
“let me add that Nas has great taste. I’m a young woman and Kelis is beautiful”
Most women think she is. As far men we have a different opinion of her. Pre and post divorce.
I think Kelis is very attractive too. I really don’t think I’m as much a hater as a lot of females because I try and find the beauty in all women. I could give you a bucketload of famous woman that I think are pretty and a very short list of ones that I think are unattractive.
Just thought I’d add that.
Kelis is gorgeous.
looking a lil weird now….
but the chick is a former model…. 5 feet 10 inches of beauty.
@JessKnowsBest
“but the chick is a former model…. 5 feet 10 inches of beauty.”
That’s odd that she was with Nas considering that I believe he is 5’8″.
she’s noticeably taller than him in all their pics.
bish is badd though.
but the chick is a former model…. 5 feet 10 inches of beauty.
That height right there drives wild for some reason.
@ComicBookGuy
See…there you go displaying your Unicorn tendencies! As a woman who is 5’9″ rarely do I hear a man say my height drives them crazy…let alone something taller
@LaBakir,
Okay, if you and I for some strange reason meet, we are going to have a problem. lol. This unicorn thing is cracking me up.
My ex was 5’10″, brown skin, long dark hair (no lace front, no yakki), soup cooler lips and a real booty. I have no problem with women of any height. Hell, I went out on a date in college with a girl that was my height, 6’2″, she was thick, too and I wasn’t the least bit uncomfortable with her because she was pretty as hell. A lot of the women in my family are above average in height and my mom was the tail of her AKA line back in the day, even though she is like 5’6″. Shorter women are fine with me, too, but I can’t lie, a woman 5’9″ and up makes my day and a lot easier to kiss.
Oh, and if you were wondering why me and the ex broke up, it’s for the same reason any guy would break up with a fine woman: she was crazy. lol For real, she was a good friend of mine so we were and have been better as friends. She ended up being one of my best friends.
@ComicBookGuy
“My ex was 5?10?, brown skin, long dark hair (no lace front, no yakki), soup cooler lips and a real booty. I have no problem with women of any height.”
Your ex sounds like a “hammer”. Straight banger. lol. i don’t have a problem with height either. At the same time I am hesitant or I will ignore a woman that is the same height as me or a little taller because I know how women are about height. Sometimes I will pass on a chic if she is an inch or 2 shorter. I don’t know her but off your description I wouldn’t be surprised the ex was crazy. Unfortunately the more bad a chic is the more issues she has.
@ComicBookGuy
“My ex was 5?10?, brown skin, long dark hair (no lace front, no yakki), soup cooler lips and a real booty. I have no problem with women of any height.”
Your ex sounds like a bad chic. I don’t have a problem with woman of any height either. At the same time I don’t or won’t approach a woman that is the same height as me or a little taller because I knwo how women are about height. I’m even hesitant about approaching chics an inch or 2 shorter. I try to stick to where my winning percentage is going to be higher. Off your description I wouldn’t be surprise that the ex is crazy. The more bad a chic is the more crazy she is and the more issues she has.
damn this posted twice? I need to get Mac.
@ComicBookGuy
Your description of her made me think of Toni Childs from “Girlfriends”
LOL…if we meet from some strange reason I may laugh hysterically for the first 5 minutes in disbelief…then take a picture w/ you holding a sign that says “they do exsist”
@LaBakir,
Now that you say that, she acted a lot like Toni Childs. Pretty, but spoiled as hell.
@ComicBookGuy
Lol, I see I said. You had a Southern Belle on your hands
Humble_One, that’s fair. I’ll take Idris Alba over Boris Kodjoe any day and some guys will wonder why. Natural attraction I guess, nothing against Boris because he is fine but Idris has more sex appeal. It might be the dark skin. I also realize that most of you are probaby looking at her body too since she really doesn’t have a butt but that doesn’t take away from anything in my opinion. Any person who takes the time out to hate or find something to judge is uncomfortable, that’s just the truth. We all don’t meet each other’s standards but that doesn’t make us ugly or unattractive.
I agree…Boris is totally not my steelo, like…I probably would never date him. He just doesn;t do it for me, but Idris!!! He is a sexy speciman of man and I can’t quite figure out what it is about him but he’s like the perfect man to me. Although no one is perfect. he damn near is. lol
*swoons*
@TheOpinionate1 lol I totally get what you’re sayin. That English accent makes it even better. I hate English accents but they always sound better on black men. Call me racist but whateva, it’s the truth lol.
yeah, I think kelis is pretty too…
That milkshake would surely bring me to the yard! As a man I have always thought Kelis was bad! Even with getting my boy Nas for the money she is still cute, in fact even more attractive cuz if i Hollered i would be like ninja I knowww you got enough for this dinner!
@coldsweat3 LOL yea she could pay for all of our dinners with what she’s hittin our boy up for smh. Like The Champ said Nas just doesn’t have the best luck with women. Destiny’s mom gettin freaky wit Jay Z… Kelis taking all his money… Poor Nas can’t catch a break
I Cosign B to the fullest. My girl and I are always having this argument and she is constantly focusing on things that I do not even notice. For example, the arm to breast ratio discussed in B. I did not/would not have even noticed that if it wasn’t brought to my attention, but that is one of the first things my girl would notice. My girl believes alicia keys also has a terrible arm-to-breast ratio.
Honestly….
Men always claim they want a natural beauty but wouldnt know natural
if it walked in the room with a neon sign…
the “baddest” women are usually weaved and made up to within an inch of their natural lives.
my bf is more prone to random compliments when i take the time out to put on a little mascara and eye liner as opposed to my normally scrubbed clean face…. i find Amber Rose to have a “lived in” face and he drools at her @ss.
lol.
“i find Amber Rose to have a “lived in” face ..”
yup….I NEVER would have guessed that chick was under thirty….she looks old!
Yea, I don’t get the hype about her (Amber Rose). She looks nothing special to me. Kinda plain.
i find Amber Rose to have a “lived in” face ..”
That usually happens when your first real job is at Ray’s Boom Boom Room
Amber Rose is a bootyful specimen.
Is it bad that my first time through this I didn’t notice the gold pants? It was only after seeing this come up many times in the comments that I went back to look at the picture.
Ahem, obviously my eyes only roam from the neck up.
HAHAHA! Yesss! As someone who used to waitress in a gentleman’s club, you see first hand (on a nightly basis) what “appeals” to men. Sure there was this one chick who was gorgeous by anyone’s standards who made good money ery night. But there was also the ok looking chick who could make it clap whose stage was also covered with dollars.
Yep.
I have a group of girlfriends who always let things slip about thicker/bigger girls in particular (i.e he was dancing with this bigger girl and I was like WTF)…completely failing to realize that the guy who was dancing with her obviously liked her looks enough to do so.
They will look completely past the pretty in another woman, find reason(s) to subtract from it and come to the conclusion that she is not a match for some guy.
One chick has big arms, so what you may have a huge nose. Does that make you unattractive? Next chick has a big ass with a little cellulite, another may have a flapjack butt. And? I know someone who likes it. Somewhere.
Did P preview ArchAndroid yet??? young O_O , this girl is, her artistry and material is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO me, SO me,
makes my Gemini ECSTACTIC!!!!! Can’t wait til Tuesday
I need to check out that Janelle Monae… in the meantime I’ve been on this Distant Relatives, and it’s nice. Nas definitely spills his soul on, “Strong Will Continue,” about his situation with Kelis.
Next up is this Bruno Mars mixtape… hopefully it doesn’t wreak of estrogen.
I know yall are talkin about music but I just want to say that Janelle Monae is gorgeous too. Petite and so cute. If I were a man I’d date her. She would be my type, not the video vixen looking girls.
Janelle Monae is attractive. I’m wondering if her “image” is just part of her marketing to sell records, or if it really is her. If it really is her… I’d smash… but I’d keep my good eye on her the whole time… she looks tricky. lol
I think her look her stage persona, alter ego, Cyndi Mayweather = its ALL her!
I always say I look @ women like guys (I don’t judge too harshly) All it takes is is a nice boob/waist/hip ratio, long hair, and a decent enough face and she is hot to me (as long as everything is real) Maybe I have too much testosterone…
MAN I HEAR YOU ON THIS ONE.
CASE IN POINT… MY AND PROBABLY EVERY OTHER READ BLOODED MAN’S IDEA WOMAN IS AUNT ESTHER. TALK ABOUT FINE!!! CARMEL BROWN SKIN, FIERY ATTITUDE, PLUS SHE’S RELIGIOUS. HELL, WHAT MORE CAN A GUY ASK FOR. OLD “WOODROW” STRUCK GOLD WITH THAT ONE…
BUT WOULDN’T YOU KNOW IT, EVERY WOMAN I EVER TELL THIS TOO DOES NOT THINK AUNT ESTHER IS A FOX.
NOTHIN BUT PLAYA HATERS!!!!
LOL who is Aunt Esther?? Can we get a picture
@Anonymous, he’s either referencing Aunt Esther of Sanford & Son (think Red Foxx)

Right here ^^^ ? ‘Cause if you are, Bret…. I think this “rendition” of Aunt Esther is attractive in her own right and very sophisticated. The way she carries herself has some men that I know wanting “somma that strange”.
@Anonymous,
I tried to post the links to you but I’m in moderation for some reason.
Bret’s talking about one of the two…I’m thinking its the latter myself.
Think Aunt Esther of Sanford & Son
http://grumpy-people.com/gallery/LaWanda-Page_Aunt-Esther.JPG
Or…..
this is who he’s referencing….and why they call this Lady “Aunt Esther” is beyond me. IMO she’s attractive and sophisticated…and has many a man doing double takes and daydreaming about “that strange.”

I think the girl with Drake is actually gorgeous (gold pants or not). Face is very pretty and body is nice. What I find (especially in my own mind) is that we women tend to find beauty in those that have similarities in ourselves. Not in all cases (but in many). Personally, I think any girl larger than a size 8 (let’s say a 10/12…yes, because I’m that size) and can pull off those pants without anything (aka flubber, handles, etc.) hanging and/or make sure her midsection is tight and her body is proportion is golden in my book. (although I would not wear those pants because of the attention that comes with them).
I think some people are confusing the fact that alot of men will screw anything regardless of looks, with attractiveness.
Not I…LMAO
They sure will. My friend was looking on this girl’s myspace page and she had a nice body. He said, “Whew…you’d have to f**k her with a paper bag over her head.” But the key point was that even though her face was busted…she could still get it.
I had another guy hate on a big girl pass by us as we stood outside that had on some tight pants to the point that her azz looked like some swiss cheese because it had so many dimples in it. (Which you could see through the pants) I said, “Don’t front, you know you would hit that.” He said, “Yea I would.” I thought to myself…Big girls need love too…& shruged.
LLS!
I actually think the girl is cute in the face but her body is a FAIL! A$$ and hips are a good thing TO A POINT… But I’m a girl… wudoo i know.
I think a woman’s ability to determine and/or admit another woman’s attrractiveness depends on her level of self-assuredness and confidence. Naturally beautiful women don’t seem to have as much of a problem recognizing beauty in other woman as those who are not considered traditionally beautiful or those who require a lot of enhancements to “become” what others consider attractive. Hence the “hater” gene thing.
Also, I think a woman’s own aesthtic contributes to what she finds attractive. So a woman who is, say, brown-skinned, natural and thick (in the real sense, not the don’t-wanna-call-myself-fat sense) would not find Halle Berry as attractive as some others might. not to say they can’t see beauty in her, but they are less likely to call her the “ultimate beauty” and more likely to go for someone closer to them as the knock out looker. I think we do this in general and it’s a natural reaction and a real reason why women are less likely to date outside their race than men.
Anyway, it makes perfect sense that men and women find different things attactive. Funny thing is that many women don’t find the same things attractive (in either men or women). I don’t think Maxwell (ugly face), T.I. (too small, boyish), Boris (too light, no facial hair) or Wayne (no need to explain) are attractive. However, until his recent “list”, I would name Dhani Jones as my “style”. Don’t even get me started on our differences in opionion when it comes to other women.
Oh! About the picture, I think she’s an attractive woman (pretty face, healthly real-looking hair, nice body, pretty skin tone) and the first thing I thought was “Her thighs look like mine. I didn’t know we could rock leggings without tunics!”. Didn’t even make it to the gold issue…
@LuvRain I’m that chick that thinks all men should have facial hair! My thoughts is, if you don’t then you look too boyish for my liking, you need to have some manliness and facial hair adds to it. *High Five on that one*
BTW I was so sick when Idris shaved his facial hair for that movie Obsessed. I slightly boycotted the movie until someone brought it to a girls night shindig and I was forced to watch it. I cringed.
Your post reads a lot like what I was thinking.
And this –>more likely to go for someone closer to them as the knock out looker.<— is truer than people realize…
Except for T.I (who is my ghetto love extraordinaire) I find your list of non-attractive men pretty accurate. Especially Maxwell and Boris. They are ok at best to me… Dhani Jones on the other hand? FTW!!! I almost have orgasms when I watch Dhani tackles the globe… Lol!
Great write up!
I was wondering when someone on here was going to bring my frat Dhani Jones. The women that I know that watch that show kill me when they talk about him. I love that show, though. Good to see a cultured brother traveling around the world like that. Just the comments from women on his facebook for that show entertains me to no end. Y’all are just as bad as men are. lol
#1. The champ is the truth, but not for all truths.
#2. As previous commentors stated, women analyze, men go for the superficial which could actually work both ways. I myself noticed the solid gold pants but noticed that her face was pretty (sort of). I have been known to tell women how pretty they are and mean it!
#2. VSB will be my new reading material in the a.m next to NYT.
aw thanks. welcome!
You know…there are mixed reviews of Tahiry’s vajajay out there. Most women are saying ewww…most dudes are saying gat dammm. Can we cover protocol for critiquing lady parts in a future thread?
Wait, what? There are pictures of it? Where the hell have I been? SMH
It’s not coming up under google anymore…she’s saying her twitter account was hacked and somebody posted a random cooch pic. I guess we’ll never know…seen a few dozen…seen em all.
If we like the guy women will never admit that he’s dating someone cute enough. Im scratching my head to how Royce got Dwight Howard into bed. she was lucky enough to get pregnant with that fine man’s baby. she looks like a pound puppy to me #nohater. What women find attractive in women is based on magazine standards. what men find attractive is based their natural sexual desire. Since we aint trying to sleep with a chick, some of us, we judge other women based on what we find cute. a man isn’t likely to notice a raggedy weave or a foodstamp funded wardrobe like a woman would. especially if he’s smashin it.
and thats funny cause Dwight Howard doesn’t strike me as heterosexual LOL…its all in the perception of the individual…..IDK about the sexual desire determining attractiveness, dudes can know a brawd ain’t cute and still hit, can be not really attracted and still hit see, so LOL
Strangely enough, I’ve never really had that issue… I can usually see/understand why a man would fall for a woman… I actually can accurately predict which woman in a pack a guy friend would go for… Maybe it’s a gift and I can market it??
What I often have a hard time seeing, understanding though, is the choices some women make… It really does leave me puzzled at times. Maybe because my tastes are a -typical but I seriously don’t get moist for the likes of Boris Kodjoe or Shemar Moore… and very few athletes get me riled up… idk, maybe I should participate in that alltheparties.com thing and see which way I skew?
Funny post though. And that chick is BAD, forget what you heard.
@Sula,
“but I seriously don’t get moist for the likes of Boris Kodjoe or Shemar Moore”
Ditto for me!!
“And that chick is BAD, forget what you heard”
Agreed!
Um…hi
I’m normally a lurker, but I wanted to add a the reason men and women can’t agree on something like this is because we’re looking at different things. I get somethin kinda annoyed when I’m and out and about with some of my guy friends, they get excited about some chick and forsake all surroundings, wanting me to get excited too. Uh, nuh. Sorry, but as a hetero female my natural instinct is to look at another woman in ways other than sexually. They’ll have to seriously prep me to get relevant specifics. That’s where the gold pants thing comes in (which are absolutely tragic): when it comes to other women, it’s what I’m wired to look at first. Style, hair, clothes, shoes. Specifically, shoes. Now, if one of my guy friends told me to judge something specific for HIM (i.e. “I like big hips, what about her?”), I can give my honest opinion for HIM. Unless she was otherworldly I’m not looking at the perfectness (or lack thereof) of her extremities and even then it’s a passing thought.
For me, personality is something different. I can tell if someone’s attitude sucks from a mile away, somewhat courtesy of my days as a waitress. If my guy friends asked what I thought when it comes to personality, I wouldn’t shut up for awhile and I’m not much of a talker anyway.
The girl in the picture has a beautiful face, and the body is not bad either. She just dresses in an unflattering way. I think the main reason men and women don’t often agree if a woman is beautiful, often comes down to how the women in question carry themselves and dress. Even then, if a woman is beautiful it’s hard to deny it even if she dresses Forever 21 style. That doesn’t mean she will make your top 10 list though.
I often see women I find attractive or beautiful, but I’m not sexually attracted to them. Personality, carriage, and overall demeanor is important.
“I often see women I find attractive or beautiful, but I’m not sexually attracted to them”….money!!!!
and the same can be said for some men I see, sex appeal and relative attractiveness are not the same thing, but how vicious a combo when both are present in one individual!!!
When it comes to women, I DEF cannot speak for all or most men.. I see some of the things friends spend time on and I’m often perplexed, but I think women are confused because for dudes, there is no “standard,” it more operates in thresholds, I will explain
Catergory 1: Busted chick – She’s not getting anything. I don’t care what her name is, her hopes, dreams, NATHAN. The only releationship we need to have is a professional one.
Catergory 2: (Have made a conscious effort to eliminate this group and just put these wmn into catergory 1 as I’ve gotten older) She might could get it if I’m inebriated or like, suuuuper thirsty that week (those are actually the same thing). But I’m not going to work for it and I will slouch away at the first sign of drama/work/anything more important.
Category 3: She aiight.. I’m not mad at her, when she puts on “pretty girl clothes” and everything and I’m not looking directly at her, I might even confuse her for something special.. but upon closer inspection she just ‘aiight’. To quote a character played by someone ya’ll chicks seem to love, she’s the definition of a “40 degree day”. ’nuff said.
Catergory 4: This is where things get complex. This chick is borderline official. Either she’s a kinda-cute girl with maaad steez, or she’s a MAD cute girl with no personality. Either way, she gets sweated and always finds dudes that are trying to wife her.. just *I’M* not trying to wife her.. Many dudes get caught up and ‘settle’ for this chick bc its easy. Which is a reason why 45% of dudes that cheat do..**
Catergory 5: The certifiable banger. She’s the chick that when you get with her you stop. You won. She meets the family on the fourth date. The second you see her you trying to figure out how you can eventually throw a baby in her.
**To preempt the question, another 10% cheat bc they’re in a really bad situaiton (of their own doing) and the last 45% cheat bc thats what they’re gonna do regardless of whatever situation they end up in. INCLUDING getting with their catergory 5 chick.
Wow @ 40 degree day.
“Aint no one got nothing to say about a 40 degree day…nobody give a f–k about 40. Nobody remember 40. And, y’all ninjas is giving me way too many 40 degree days” — your reference for Category 3 is spot on.
OMG> Thank you for this. Tiz perfection.
Darn I think i’m a 3…
Uh, no… You will probably be a category 3 for some dude but you will also be a category 5 for another dude… more importantly you should be a category 5 for yourself!
There is no set scale! And nobody should believe there is!
(yes I know I’m late and sh!t, but I didn’t have time to read all the comments yesterday… sue me.
)
Good Shyt Champ
I think the women are natural haters is a point to dive into deeper [||]
at its core though, men appreciate different things about women and women act like they don’t know why, but they do.. they do…
Maybe they are desirous of you and are mad when your desires lie elsewhere. Maybe the type of women you desire falls under a stereotype? Who knows.
On the flipside, Ive seen men wife up Morlocks and leave me with the 0_* (punch drunk side eye) so to each their own i guess!
All this proves is that we are truly hard on ourselves so its only natural that we pick apart each other in that manner. This is why what WE think is “it” won’t ever match what men think is “it”.
Its like having a swimsuit competition and having two sets of judges (gay men and straight men) and wondering why they don’t agree. Straight dudes lookin at tits, ass, and hip to waist ratios and the gay dudes counting off points for not wearing sequins.
Never seen high waisted gold leggings until now. Thanks vsb
Note* I never want to see them again! lol

IMO a mix of B and D.
AND I don’t give a sugar honey iced tea whether the next woman OR man agrees with me because I know my eyes work and if a chick or dude is cute, okay, ugly, pretty, sexy, gorgeous, hot etc I’m going to be honest because my eyes work and I like to think most of the time I get it right.
Dude in front is giving her the biggest side eye ever. The bright color is making him think Scooby Snacks.
As for ol’ girl? She’s cute. Not sure about the gold stretch pants, but if you can pull em off, go for the gold…literally.
