I'm Not Gay, But I'll Learn

[vovat]

I realize that I'm not exactly saying anything you don't already know here, but I think it's interesting how straight girls are often willing to admit their attraction to other girls, while that's generally not true for straight guys. Part of it is because our society teaches both genders that women are more aesthetically appealing. That hasn't been the case throughout all of history, as evidenced by ancient Greeks and their love of naked boys, but it's pretty ingrained in this day and age. There's also the issue of some guys being so terrified of being considered gay that they refuse to even admit that some other men are more attractive than others. I think the notoriously homophobic Bill O'Reilly said something of the sort before, but I'm not buying it because he was talking another time about how he had the hots for Mitt Romney. He didn't say it that way, of course, but it sounded like he was hinting at it. Which is weird, because Romney bears a striking resemblance to the Frankenstein monster. But maybe Bill had a thing for Boris Karloff, too.

I'll admit that I'm not sure what guys I'd list as attractive. My stock answer is usually Damon Albarn, especially in the early days of Blur. I also have kind of a weird attraction to Andy Partridge, although that one isn't really based on looks. I don't think a threesome with the two of them would be a good idea, though, as there was enough tension between them when Andy tried to produce Modern Life Is Rubbish.


I've heard that it's common among straight women to be attracted to Angelina Jolie, which I can't really say I understand. I've also come across Olivia Wilde as an answer to that question, which I can see more. I guess there's a reason her character on House is bisexual. Hey, girls, you're always complaining about how so many guys only want to date skinny girls, and then admitting that you'd go for two of the skinniest chicks in Hollywood! What's with that? (Yeah, I realize it might well not be the same girls in these two categories. Honestly, it's a pretty crappy joke, but I'm keeping it in anyway.)

No, that's Jennifer Love Hewett, and yes, she has magnificent rackage, eh?

I never much cared for JLH, but I feel bad for her now because people are saying she's fat, when she's a friggin' size two. I love how this page poses the question "Fat or Hot?" (http://101cafe.com/jennifer-love-hewitt.php) What, she can't be both or neither? As bad as the media obsession with skinniness is, I think it's even worse when someone starts out skinny and then puts on a little (usually very little) weight. And hey, I have no complaints about her butt in that picture.

yeah, I thought that whole thing was ridiculous. Fortunately, so did she, and told "them" so in no uncertain terms. Don't know much about her, but she seems to be smart...

Just goes to show that you can't always judge intelligence by a person's middle name. {g}
