Out of NOWHERE, she yells. . .LOUDLY.. .

You guessed it, ladies. "Objects in Space". . .Simon Tam shirtless. She then went on to say,
"Oh that's it. Yes. . .oh, you flex just right when you grab him."
And finally,
"That's it. . .Mal is OFF the top of the list of men I want to shag senseless. Simon just beat him out. Look at those ABS!!!"
Honest to god, we thought she was watching some 'gay porn' version of Firefly. . .she kept rewinding the first encounter with Simon and Jubal because of the way Simon flexes in his struggle.

Ok, that was the funniest thing I've read all day mainly because my friend and I do that sort of thing when watching movies at her house and her husband is always deeply irriated when we do it.
It does make me want to watch movies with your friend, though.

Sorry, I can't gush about Simon physically for ya. I would more gush about what a swell guy he is. He's not bad to look at, but I'd knock him off the catwalk to get at Mal. Sorry if it's predictable, but it's a combination of his general take-no-crap attitude, his often dry sense of humour, and those boots. :)
Then there's this whole sickness I have with liking men who've lost their faith. In my entertainment, that is.

I'm sorry; yes, Sean Maher has lovely washboard abs, and fine biceps as well. But my heart is given to the wide dark eyes and tortured soul of Mal. The body is just part of the picture, you see; it's also about the spirit inhabiting that body, and Mal's is the most astonishing.

And he has those great large hands. . . .

I like Simon as a character, but the Sean Maher needs to finish growing up before he can rock my world. I have real difficulty getting into him being sexy, abs or no, until he earns some more hair on his chest. The smooth-chested teenage boy thing really doesn't do anything for me. (No offense to Sean as a person - he's a fantastic actor, just doesn't do it for me physically...)

If we're only talking about looks/sex appeal, Adam and Nathan in that order. I'm one who goes for the strong, muscular, grown-men type men. (I'll show you a pic of my hubby sometime - case in point! ) To understand what I mean, you gotta know that I'm an arm girl... Most women look at a man's abs or backside... For me, those can be in need of work, but if the guy's got guns... *sigh*

...and now I really have to smile:
I had my response written but not send because I had other things to do.
and so I read yours after sending mine.

we do have different taste and that's good.

I adore smooth chested men. hair equals ape-look for me. I can get over some chesthair (preferably light colored) if I like the guy but a hairy back or a real furry chest/belly and I really have to close my eyes a bit.

and growing up he doesn't have to do for me, he's my age. born the same year. really grown up enough. he's 28. not a boy really.

you watched Buffy? you think James Marsters needs to 'grow up' too? I'm just nosy here, no offence intended. it's interesting, I think.

Jayne is exactly the type of man-ape that really doesn't do anything for me. too bulky maybe. and no offence intended here either it's just personal taste and it really varies.

Yep, watched Buffy a bit. And yep, thought JM needed to grow up a bit too. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for the Puffy Back Syndrome (y'know, you hug him, pat his back, and it's puffy under his shirt? Ewwwwww!). Just a bit of a smattering, really. Kind of a visceral thing that says: "Now here's a grown man!

I'm not a biologist or anything, but my guess would be that it's a hormonal recognition of adulthood or that he's reached mating age or something. For the "growing up" bit, I didn't really mean he needed to get older or anything, just that his body needs to "finish" maturing.

I could occasionally even deal with that... but I still GOTTA have those arms! But there again, to each her (or his) own!

and not every man does get chest hair. and I'm pretty sure lot's of them even get rid of it if they have to take their shirt of on TV. I think it's something someone gets when 'growing up' or not. so by the time he's 25 or so there won't be much chance anymore. true?

and on the woman side do you think older women more often apreciate chest hair than younger women?

Quote:

biologicly you're sure right, would be a sign of 'manlyness' but to me it rather shows too much ape in my man. like them delicate in a way. maybe that's not "manly" or even not very male but then I'm not entirely hetero so maybe that's a clue.
big arms also do nothing much for me.
well defined muscles - yes.
bulk - no.

and I think that's a totally silly topic to discuss but I like to analyse my taste these days. time of self-finding or somesuch maybe.

but then I'm also a big Giles fan and he is hairy and big but not bulky big more lean big. but it's more the character I like than the body so maybe not. and then one can't be too closeminded, most guys in real life aren't goodlooking at all and they are still lovable. I tend to have boyfriends that don't match my physical ideal at all just because I tend to fall in love with them anyway.

sorry for making this gush-fest into a debate of physical attractions. it just intrigues me somehow.

Mend a fence? Yup. Carpentry and home remodelling is somewhat of a hobby. . .

Patch up a cut? Yup. One of my additional responsibilities in my unit is that of combat medic.

In addition: Fencing, some piano, 22 years of saxophone playing, and I'm a hell of a typist.

Do I pass?
