Okay, this one will really piss off my best friend, Jim. We've talked about Kate Beckinsale before and she does absolutely nothing for him. But I can't help it. You know you find a woman attractive when you'll sit through crappy movies just to watch her and Kate has been in her share of crappy movies. I first started liking her in the Underworld movies. Of course she was playing a vampire and if you combine vampires and beautiful, thin brunettes you'll pretty much be guaranteed to have me watching. The Underworld movies weren't half-bad but then Kate was in Van Helsing. More vampires but practically unwatchable, even for a vampire lover like myself. Still I've seen the movie once all the way through and have watched significant portions several other times, just to watch her. I thought she was very cute in Serendipity with John Cusack, and the movie was certainly better than Van Helsing but it was a Cusack vehicle so there were too many scenes she wasn't in.
Now here's how bad it gets with me and Kate. I've actually seen major portions of Click, the abominable Adam Sandler movie, several times. She plays his wife. As if. Man, she just looks so beautiful in that movie. And she's just playing a regular person with no superpowers which makes it even better. Everyone knows I hate Adam Sandler and that I think his movies absolutely blow, maybe just a notch above Rob Schneider movies. Still, I'll sit through segments of this piece of crap over and over again just to see Kate in her cute cotton pj's.

OH! EW! I had completely FORGOTTEN about ROB SCHNEIDER until this post. EW. I like Kate ok. And I do adore, and rather miss, John Cusack. There can never be too many John Cusack scenes in a John Cusack movie.
Boy, you just keep piling on the women I cannot stand looking at but would have sex with and marry for the rest of my life.
Mando - I don't know. Frankly, I'm a little tired of the fat John Cusack.
Boring - Again, you crack me up. See that's why you do better with the ladies than I do. I can't have sex with someone I can't stand looking at. Hence the reason I'm alone. The women I like looking at don't want to look at me! :-)
Oh, wait a minute...
I was trying to discuss the nature of all men in a funny way. You've taken it to an extreme by implying that I can have sex with women I cannot stand looking at (as if I meant that literally.)
Obviously, these women are beautiful. They just aren't my type for whatever reason. I'm just being honest by admitting that I'd be happy to be with them - even though they are not somebody I'd notice up front.
There's a big difference between admitting that, and having sex with women I literally can't stand looking at. We won't go into personal details here, but I have to say that I've had an attraction to nearly every woman I've ever dated or "been with." I don't want people getting the idea that I'm the kind of guy that will just look at some woman I literally cannot stand and then jump in bed with her.
I do have standards, and I am quite proud of them. I'm proud of who I am with currently, and would never just "be" with somebody because I have no control.
That is one of the reasons that I am not married yet. Never have been. I have some sense of wanting to wait for the right person. Of course, waiting too long is also bad, but that's another subject altogether.
And please, we both know that if a woman I was crazy about - a woman that wasn't your type - came up to you and wanted to get to know you, date you, and sleep with you, you would do it. As long as there was some level of you thinking she's attractive, you'd do it; doesn't matter if she's your type or mine or whatever.
I've seen us both have all sorts of "standards" and go on and on about what women we do or don't find attractive. I've also seen us both cave entirely when one of those women takes the time to talk and flirt with us.
Just admitting the truth about men here.
You being alone has little to do with not being able to sleep with women who are not your type. It has to do with other, more personal things.
I was joking around about men. That's all.
John Cusack got fat?
You LIE.
Whoa, whoa Boring. Having a bad day today? You write one sentence and I'm supposed to realize that it is an introspective look at the nature of men. I write a reply, with a smiley face emoticon, and you take it as a serious indictment of your personal life. See, this is why I hate internet communications. There's no tone, no context.
As you know, this whole top 5 women thing is basically a joke to me. An attempt to lighten up this stupid blog and get me out of the depression I've been in lately by having a little fun. It's not an accident that I'm making fun of my attraction to women I'll never meet when the source of my depression is the end of yet another marriage. And yes, I'm stupid. I've been married twice. I guess I didn't have the foresight to wait for the right person.
Anyway, I thought your comments were sort of in that spirit, the way we always joke about being able to sleep with someone even though ultimately they might not be who you want to spend your life with. I understood that you were joking about not being able to stand looking at these women, just as I was making light of it in my comment back. It wasn't my intention to rub some kind of raw nerve.
I don't recall saying on here that I wouldn't sleep with women that are your type if they were coming onto me. I don't think I ever wrote that. And I think we've both been genuinely attracted to the women we've gone out with. Hence the reason we've struggled with them so much. If we didn't find them attractive, we'd just be about to get what we can get and leave. Neither of us are like that.
Again, I understand you're joking about men. This whole top 5 thing is basically a joke about how men think, even down to, as I said, watching crappy movies just to see a woman you think is cute.
Anyway, no offense meant. I'm sorry if I offended you in my comment. That honestly wasn't the intention. It was just a play off your comment. I think I know you well enough to know that you have standards.
Mando - I don't know. I've seen him in some movies where he looked fat. Well, maybe not fat but definitely filled out a little.
My day today wasn't bad. Saturday, on the other hand, blew.
Sorry if I went off. Women, and any discussion of them, is bound to get things riled. At this point, I think I'll go gay.
That wasn't even a joke. I'm actually hanging a rainbow flag up as we speak. :-P
Ok. Time for me to go to bed. (BTW - just found out my Dad's tests were ok so far. Some relief!)
goodnight
