What do women look for in men Personality or Looks?

No wonder you laughed POM. Brains are a turn off for you.

About getting down to a media centre with your certificate and an attractive frock.

Do you think it's fair Queenie that you can make an impression with a very attractive frock which, I presume, means one which emphasises your sexual parts and offers promise to passing browsers?

Is this satire?

So, he advised her to dress nicely and present herself to her advantage while applying for work, then accuses her of manipulating the system by flaunting her sexuality! This, from a man, who describes himself as superior?

Isn't it sexist?

Would a chap with the same qualifications, maybe better ones than your's, have captured the attention of the important personage to the same effect? Your sex-discriminatory actions speak louder, far louder, than your anti-sex-discriminatory words.

When you bought the very attractive frock were you thinking "I'll wow those gumps with this little number". Eh? But which gumps? The heterosexual ones of course.

We poor men are putty in the hands of such sweet innocence and if it wasn't for our superior strength and brainpower, you would have the lot of us enslaved before Christmas.

Those countries which practice a strict materialistic communism don't allow that sort of crude manipulation. They have uniforms. You have plenty to thank Christianity for it seems to me you body fascist you.

If normal service is operative, as I understand it, you're co-operative fulfillment of the inchoate promise of your blatant display after the gig was over and the cables all disconnected, will result in you becoming a member of the BBC's esteemed band of expensive factory-hands, pointed and varnished fingernails included, and my prophetic advice will have been found to be exceedingly perspicaceous. Whether someone better qualified than yourself will have to carry on shovelling **** because of the disadvantages of his birth is really of no importance.

Once you get your feet under the table at the BBC, or in any other position more appropriate, you should embark on a course of Barbara Stanwyk movies. Then we might see you one day bringing us the weather forecast or showing us all how to make a banana fritter. After that the glass ceiling awaits. Look at Anna Botting. And Kate Burley. Angela Rippon etc etc. I'll bet they all jump started their careers by engaging the interest of an executive with a very attractive frock.

I took specific pains to advise Queenie that manipulating the system by flaunting her ravishing sexuality was the way to go. I was encouraging her and not accusing her

And what does a flower signify? An art student doesn't use ornamental devices out of mimicry. I'm very wary of women with a crucifix dangling in the cleavage.

David, if you think your post professing ignorance of the movie
Amarcord is funny, please, stop embarrassing yourself.

Have you ever heard of Federico Fellini?

Do you know what he did?

Fellini was the iconic Italian director of 8 and 1/2, La Strada, Roma, La Dolce Vita and many more.

Amarcord, which translates as I Remember, tells the coming of age story (not an American tradition)
of a boy growing up in northern Italy, proud of his mixed Celtic and Latin heritage.
The film is semi-autobiographical. It is a delightful and complicated film full of crazy characters
which would take too long to describe.

I suggest you either rent it from Netflicks or that you look around and see if a repertory theatre is screening it.

You don't "watch" movies like Amarcord. You live with them.
The more I saw of it the more it opened out. It goes miles too fast for one viewing to do much good.

It's roughly connoting being twee and/or kitch.

R u residually angry at me for our disagreements on other threads?

Grooming, to me, is important. Whether you want to list that as a personality trait or under the general category of looks is fine because grooming works under both.
