Ladies are you offended by...

Of course not. I have advantages all my own.

Offended? Why on earth would a woman be offended by just the appearance of another woman?

If she's more attractive and a bitch and personally offends me in some way, yes.
Otherwise, no.

Nope. Not as long as they don't have their hand down my husband's pants.

What's the problem, Freeduck, of an attractive woman having her hands in your husband's pants? (She works at the laundry).

Pshaw! My husband can wash his own pants.

Re: Ladies are you offended by...


offended?
That's a pretty strange reaction to have!
It's just life: some people are more physically "attractive" than others. But of course, attraction can be a pretty subjective thing.
Do you mean more attractive to men, or in general?

No, I like beayty in any form. Just attractive may not create any reaction other than than admiration but if I feel they are as attractive as a person too then I want to get to know them more. Offended No.

remember that commercial where the woman said "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"

oh yeah...like you have that kind of power.

I think the poster may mean intimidated rather than offended. That's what came to mind when i first read this question. Many women who are terribly insecure are not simply jealous but actually intimidated by beautiful women. They're shy, can't look them in the eye and they feel inferior. "Less than". I see it in my profession alot. It's sad.

Interesting eoe.

Yes, I think I can see how some women can be intimidated by that. It's easy enough for anyone to say "Oh, I don't care about what they look like", but it's true, I've seen women act differently when someone, not necessarily more beautiful, I guess the word would be more "powerful" is around. Myself included. Although, as I become older, there's fewer and fewer people in general that effect me that way, and certainly not if they are significantly younger than me. Oh…I might be more respectful, deferring to the knowledge, let's say, a physician who is younger than me may have, whether they be male or female. But, if we're not talking medicine, they get the respect I would give to any human being.

I think that's the gist of it. I defer to someone who has more knowledge or experience about a subject. Continuing with that thought, what does someone who's more beautiful than me have more knowledge of or experience about that I don't, based merely on her physical appearance?

Traditionally, she's supposed to have more knowledge and experience with and about men but ****, we know that's not always the case, don't we? And today, even if she does, big deal. But back in the day, that was the end all and be all for us girls. Men. And how good you are at snagging them.

Oh Man!

If you're pretty you're supposed to be more knowledgeable about men?

That's a laugh.

To get down and dirty for a second, on more than one occassion I've had males friends mention some good looking chick they went out with and would basically say they were really really bad in bed. The reason the subject would come up was because they pointed out that the way they acted beforehand promised the world, but they didn't know how to follow through. Or, when a bunch of girls got together and got talking about stuff, a persons looks, or lack of didn't have much to do with if you were a prude, or loose, ignorant of certain things, or sophisticated.

OK, to get civilized again. I'm certainly not saying all pretty women don't know alot about men in "that" way, but it certainly isn't a given.

Knowing a lot about men in the emotional way, the able to make intelligent conversation way?

That's a people skill that doesn't matter who you are.

I've got a really good, there when you need her girlfriend who looks a lot like Shania Twain....yeah.

Thing is, she's really down to earth and intelligent, I mean the whole package...but she's had trouble in the past with some men not wanting to look past her appearance.

For the past few years, she's had a very busy life with personal projects, business ventures, and with some pretty deep educational/growth experiences. She said she honestly has to desire to be in a relationship, or even date at this moment. Her life if very fulfilling where it is right now.

She's aware that her feelings will probably be different at another point, maybe soon, maybe later. There's no worry about finding the right person to be with. She believes if it happens, it happens.

The point is, I expect people on the street look at her and never suspect she's not in a relationship, or on the prowl for one, or at least open to one right now.

Don't you know that beautiful women are threatening? They will take your man if you don't keep an eye on them.

Eoe--

Especially beautiful single women. Having a second-hand man is better than being without a man at all.

According to lore, they're never without a man, noddy. They just want their man, your man and everyone elses' man too.

Eoe--

Insecurity is in the eye of the beholder.

It's a curse to be as beautiful as I am eoe.

some days, it takes me an hour to get as far as my car, pushing through the throngs of men.

That's a good one, Chai. I think I'll use it the next time I'm late for something.

Chai--

I thought it was a flock of geese between you and your destination?
