Pondering on the various causes of death. Gotta be out. Goin' to a movie with the GND and my sister. I like having female to hang out with the potential of a mate, but not alot of pressure to sleep with. Feels... refreshing. Blood still moving quick from conversing with Ms. Increedible? earlier. Nothing significant. Besides, I'm out for the day.

Love y'all. May actually be in the whole day tomorrow.

Outfits:

Long coat (big surprise), pants, and a white shirt. Don't need anything more to be a big damn hero. If I were to have only one superpower, though, it'd be CONTROLLED telepathy. Don't want to have River-esque difficulties, especially since I have enough trouble with my own thoughts.

Slippery women:

Not so much my thing. Fun to look at, sure, but a pain once anything else happens. I imagine they'd be like a slick bar of soap; try to hug them and they fly out the window.

Congrats on the sushi man, Rose. Hope things go well with you.

On an upshot note, I only have 6 more days at the soul-crushing job! Soon, I won't have to go back to that horrible, nasty place, or clean up any mis-aimed human fecum ever again.

Can't think of anything else to say at the moment. Brain doesn't feel like working...

Superpower? Me, I'd want to be able to fly. Now I know there are many problems with this: the feds, the folks with superman complexes, etc, so maybe being invisible while flying... preferably with clothes, none of that stupid nekkidness stuff.

Or maybe something marketable, that'd be nice too. Ya know, alchemy would be handy.

Costume? Nah, not big on costumes. I'd much prefer to just wear normal stuff n' dissappear.

Most of the other topics i've got very little to add.... Gratz on your sushi date though, Rose!

Anyway, yes, what were we talking about? Cheating, I would not forgive. I know there's a lot of couples who have "come back" from something like that, but I would never be able to trust them again, hence the relationship would be dead. Dead and burried.
If I were a superhero, I would want pyrokinesis and immunity to heat/fire, and I would wear red leather pants with flame designs at the top and a similar shirt. No cape, I think it would be in the way. I'm not sure what my name would be, though. Maybe The Phoenix? Or is that not original enough?
Telepathy would be fun, too...
Oh man, I would love a Dread Pirate Roberts costume. One of the sexiest pirates ever...
I would like dressing up in costumes just for fun if I had the money to spare for them. Good costumes are not cheap.
Ms G, you are one of the healthiest Leos I've ever talked to. You've got the giving and warm aspect down! Good for you! I wondered where all the healthy Leos were hiding; they're on this site!

Oh Joy!! Happiness Gorgeous Phoenix Rose... sheer happiness!! Enjoy that feeling - everyone should get to feel it much more often than some of us do!

I have saved up my imponderable responses so - Copilot - I am without a permanent home at the moment too... I do a lot of house-sitting so it's the luck of the draw whether I have good internet access or not - so far so good this year but you never know - good luck for the job hunting!!

MSG - are you a Leo too?!?! When is your birthday? The Shiniest part of my day has been this site - I love you guys to bits!! And the whole Spike/Snape/Jayne thing... mmmmmmmmm (wish I had a drool emote to play with)

Tristan - I am blown away by the standard and detail of your costumes... not to mention ythe excellent choice of both you and your wife's characters... you two make a gorgeous (and beautifully matched) team if I may be so bold to say so! I love dressing up, but always thought that had more to do with my love of acting, of taking on another persona (so to speak)... I should post a couple of previous charcters just to let you see... Ah - might have to put that on hold though - I'll need to work out how to do that...

Anyone/everyone I've missed - sorry ...Oh Hang on! Superhero "The Groovilicious Micromistress" and I would also have the controlled telepathic/telekinetic power - and that would include making people forget they saw/met me or being able to transport myself to another location in the blink of an eye. Somehow I think I'd have to incorporate purple velvet into my outfit - but as I'd be a kind of incognito superhero I might not be too 'super-hero-ish' in my appearance...

Oh & Long Distance - I think there should be a relationship up front then if you find yourselves in a postition where you need to decide you make a sensible and mutual decision and agree to reassess along the way... That's how my friends have done it in the past - and believe me, it either makes or breaks a relationship!

Hi Lovely angel!

I promise I don't have a 'wrong end' and I am a committed Christian... those with wrong sides - and believe me there are way too many - are 'Christians who should be committed' in my opinion!!

My philosophy is to try to embrace everyone as my equal, not to judge others, and whatever you do don't go around giving Christians a bad name!! ('thanks a heap Mel Gibson!!!'

)

Having said that you're well clear of it - I thought people were takin' that thread way too seriously so I posted a totally tongue-in-cheek, but pro-Christian/God beliver message... had the best response from FMF (she is so my hero today!) and the rest went back to heavily serious stuff that's just going to give them ulcers...

I also loved your mental picture of 'a leather armchair' coz I have to say I'd look like an overpadded lounge in the catwoman suit! You make me LOL & you are awesome!

I too love the classic trenchcoated Neo/Trinity/Mal/Angel look ... hmmmm might be in my bunk!

Didn't mean to potshot at you, Magda - I actually had some 'friends' who went through my bookshelves trying to throw away things they felt were 'evil' at one time. I have no problem with people being who they are, as long as they are happy with me being who I am - the great thing is, most Browncoats are very chilled and open-minded. Of course, some people's minds can only be opened with an axe, but, hey...

Just wanted you to know that some of us aren't total crackpots who think they have the 'right', or as I heard one person put it 'the obligation' to barge into your personal life and impose my beliefs on you! If they are raiding your personal property - they ain't true Christians in my book!!

(but I mena that in a totally non-judgemental way... now I think I'd better leave this conversation well behind me...

)

There were moments with Angel - Angelus I loved, but Spike was definitely the hot, 'take-me-Spike-take-me-hard' kind of guy I could fantasise about...(the scene where Buffy 'totally nailed him'

was the kind of fantasy I had entertained for some time so I think Joss is well tapped into his female audience!) Neo only did it for me in the 'blowing up the lobby scene' of the first movie, don't generally find anything Keanu Reeves does sexy - though I did see 'The Lake House' the other night... not too bad - he's maturing a bit.

I'm sitting here ponderin' how it is that y'all have gone so quickly into your evil, lecherous moods just by mentioning certain individuals. This does have an imponderable attached...bear with me. I know this has been mentioned before, but maybe it's time to take it back out and dust it off. Females seem to be "turned on" mentally, while males are visually stimulated. Good discussion for this early in the morning, I think. Thoughts and comments?

He's funny, cute, confident, talented, comfortable in his own skin, charming, seems to love life, loves his family...should I go on?

I've been a fan of his since his Better Off Dead days (he was a bit dorky in Sixteen Candles...)

My lecherous side comes out for different reasons. Sometimes it is purely aesthetics, but most of the time it is combined with character. Easy charm combined with a sense of humor gets me every time. I'm currently thinking Bruce Campbell is just too adorable for words and most of it has to do with how comfortable he looks just to be himself. One actress put it well when she said he could be a totally loving and devoted husband to his wife, but still make every other girl feel like she was special. That's a serious turn on. (My old dance partner is like that and that has always been his main attraction. He's not fantastic looking, is a little out of shape, is balding, but man oh man. :drool: A girlfriend of mine once said she would melt anytime he called to see if she wanted to play soccer... an innocous request, but man, I know exactly what she means. She never understood how I could dance with him 4-6 nights a week and not be totally smitten. Well, I was...but part of what made his so wonderful was how much he loved his then girlfriend and now wife.)

DTH, what I mean is in general terms, if you show a straight male a pictures of a scantily-clad female, you are going to get a reaction (of course many, many factors may have to be accounted for, but let's just base this on generalities). Males also get turned on mentally, but visual stimuli is primary.
Well take the SuperGirl outfit as an example...and assume it would be something I really like.
See, in my mind, I can picture the SuperGirl outfit, and it brought a smile to my face and reminded me of the movie...remembering the actress wearing that outfit, snippets of the movie, things like that. But it does not flip a switch. Now, show me a picture of SuperGirl in her outfit, and I start thinking other things because I can actually visualize the "target of my affection". I then internalize the stimuli, and begin weaving a fantasy based on what I see.

Not saying this is good or bad, just differing methods of becoming aroused. Now, with an SO, I can be turned on by hearing her talk or even by just thinking about her. But the difference is that I "know" her in the biblical sense. Does that make sense?

Yep, Tristan, that makes perfect sense. I was just being flip. Plus I like dressing up

I see what you mean about visual stimulation, and I get what the differece is. For me, remembering someone I like from a movie or TV show can spark a reaction just as much as seeing their picture. Answer me this, does reading a sexy passage in a book have the same effect on you as seeing a sexy scene in a movie? Do you "see" it in your head, and if so, does it have the same impact as the movie or not as much.

"No power in the 'verse can stop me!"

Yes - it makes sense Tristan and I find most guys are like that... I think it goes pretty deep into our psyche too, since girls/women often dress 'for men' rather than for each other - we love our girlfriends no matter what they wear... but we dress to impress men... I just had that epiphany based on your post - pretty good for 2.15am...eh?

I love to watch the BDH's and there are defining moments of some of my favourite men (in film and television) eg: Thopugh I have loved Colin Firth for over a decade I just have to think of him looking up at 'Bridget Jones', when she's a mess and he's holding the newspaper to get jelly knees... With Nathan it's that whole heavy breathing and kissing Nandi and saying he means to take things slow that does it... Jayne... well I just need to imagine him blocking my way in a tight corridoor and... well you get the picture. Different stimuli for different heroes though...

And I totally agree that it's the essence of a man, including that he loves his wife and children and makes every woman feel special that can be a turn on without a moment of thought of following up on the sensation... It is the very 'family man' aspect of some men that is a big turn on for some women... i wonder if it goes back to neanderthal days when we had to seduce the man and then hold on to him to provide for our offspring... (thank goodness those days are long gone!!) I do see a lot of widowers being positively deluged with women wanting to heal the pain and so on - we have had some tradgedies in Australia and two men I am thinking of were devoted to their wife (& in one case children) but lost them in horrific circumstances but were innundated with women who wanted to marry them and they are both remarried a few years later...

Did I ramble off the subject? 'Tis too late and I am going to bed - 'night all & thanks again for a shiney day!

I didn't come across sounding like an

did I? I did not want to, and apologize if I did...
And yes, dress-up is fun!

As for the sexy passage, it depends on the type...harlequin romances do nothing for me but make me laugh. If it's something closer to realism, then yes, I can visualize it, sometimes vividly. But even in fantasies, the person I am "with" is usually my SO. As for sex in the movies (and I am guessing we are talking general releases, not the kind you have to go downtown to get), it generally bores me unless it is really well-done. And by that, I again mean realistic. An example would be A History of Violence...not the stair thing, that was a bit weird...but the first coupling they had. That was realistic, intense, and very pleasing to the eye.

The visual versus mental thing? Guess it comes down to a vivid imagination sometimes coupled with memory. And also to that Imponderable about being mentally/emotionally attracted. (See previous threads for the concept of the literary crush.)

And John Cusack...the puppy dog eyes coupled with that little smile. *thread fills with drool again*

I know this isnt quite the topic, but... I don't like sex scenes in movies. I think it was the commentary in Garden State that articulated it for me, that sex scenes take you out of a storyline. Like Anjl said, imagination is better, just tell the audience that the couple is having sex, then go look at something else, or the couple later. Because very rarely to never can a couple show character development in a sex scene (possible exception of the virginity thing) so why put it in the movie? Ie, in Serenity Simon and Kaylee did a shorthand sex scene, and that combined with the river-in-the-cieling joke was all we needed. We can then skip to mal talking about love, content that we know all we need to about Kaylee and Simon: they are having sex, and it's important to them, etc.

(Wipes thread)

As I stated before, it seems to be increasingly difficult to find a woman who stimulates all parts of my being. Mentioned yesterday that Ms. Incredible? called on a personnel issue yesterday. Still leaves me in a bit of a whirl to speak with her. Just figure that the amount of mystery between us is too great.
Question: Have any of you liked someone so much that you were afraid to touch them? Aside from the many obvious intimacy issues I have, the physical one seems to have only residual nagging. But it became vey profound with her. basically I didn't want to look at the car on the lot and talk over finances unless I knew I'd be driving it home, opening it up on the highway and seeing how it handled hard corners and 180 J turns.
Got more issued than I thought. Just compared a woman to the Mustang I'll never be able to afford.

Then I wanted to say, that for me, it's not 'the family man' aspect, but rather a confidence in who he is and what he wants. If a man already knows he's got what he wants and desires nothing else, there is an ease about him. His actions aren't manipulative, his words aren't meant to tease or persuade, they just are. When a man knows he doesn't want another woman, he can treat every woman like they are the only one.

This of course is very different from the charmer who wants every woman to be in love with him. I've been with one of those and have the scars to prove it. He made every girl feel special, but for the ego boast of having them all want him. His charm was based on insecurity. The men I am turned on by are those who have charm based on confidence and clarity of self.

OK, I'm not a Snape fan (though I do love Alan Rickman, don't get me wrong), and I don't watch Buffy, but I have to agree on the Neo toting guns. Maybe that's what was wrong with the other two movies; we don't see him doing the badass thing.
You know, I have to bring up a beef I have with both written and visual sex, but esspecially written; yeah, it can turn me on, we've covered that. But here's the thing is that I cannot relate to any of those women because they are not reacting or behaving like I would. No single woman in anything I've read (and I've read some serious smut) has multiple orgasms, and they nearly always respond intensley to something that I wouldn't, or at least not as quickly. Sometimes there are brief descriptions of foreplay, but usually not; it just goes straight to gettin' it on. Real women don't function like that! And most men don't either. I mean, sometimes, but usually they need something before the hot 'n heavy. Seriously, what is up with that? Even the stuff I've read that was written by women is like that! I don't get it!

PR- Two words: Instant Gratification. Seems to be the way society leans. But healthy real folks wnat lasting satisfaction and security. Camp naughty bad fun is a nice place to visit, but living there could cause too many problems. I'd list them, but it depends on the person.

RUGBUG- Makes sense. Being truthful, open, and sincere helps alot. I kinda see the point on being settled and showing it. I've seen alot of indifference in my interaction with alot of females. In reality I tend to put emotion or attraction aside as to achieve my goal. What is my goal? Getting home. Seems to be the goal for everything I do. Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me why that is my goal, it just is. Thanks for pointing out a few things. Always pondering on presenting myself in certain ways and the reaction to those presentations. Guess some further experimentation is in order this evening.

NV, when you say getting home is your goal, do you mean your goal around women is to get away from them? Or are you looking for the metaphorical home, in terms of emotional space and companionship?

It's a toss-up.

Actually, all of the above. Anything I ever done was done with the thought of home. The trip to whatever I faced was usually spent in meditation of the impending action. Conserving energy to fulfill the objective. Once completed, the trip home was spent readjusting to the thought of home. Purging of useless data and stimuli. Now I realize how much that is done on a daily basis.
In some ways this applies to women in every way as you mentioned. Seems a bit inhuman to consider input and stimuli from another being useless and easily purged, but it has to be done for processing purposes in my brain. So much thought is fragmented in there. When trying to remember, I sometimes have to think of minute details. The way the air smelled, the light condition, temperature, whether or not I was hungry. Little things like that.
Seems that is the only way I can remember feelings and emotions in my memories. PTSD sure jogs things up a bit. Really sucks when one small sensory trigger comes about.

I have to say for me attraction is about 95% mental 5% physical. I'm not saying I'd be panting over a really weird looking person, but If Jayne just stood there with a blank look on his face it would do nothing for me. It's that badass glint with the mischief and glee that makes him attractive. I love Alan Rickman's presence and elegant evil, Spike's wild, hell raiser, damn the consequences thing gets me. I guess what I am saying is , for me, attitude is everything!

By the way, y'all are making it awfully hard for me to eat this spring roll :)

Oh and for all of you who love family guys...here's a nice quote from Adam Baldwin
"It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that's not me. It's what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I'm a family man."

While I'm not big on mushy stuff, I do think it's sweet that he puts his family first.
