Go on - why don't you tell us what qualities you find attractive in a woman? After all, YOU started it with the '180 movies I wish I hadn't watched' post. I do know you like them skinny, if your previous posts about fatties are anything to go by. By the way, anything in 1 Peter about blokes who are so superficial, they are hung up on everyone being thin?Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-35873051156081427662012-01-09T10:28:06.898-08:002012-01-09T10:28:06.898-08:00Thanks for sharing this James.

So are women who wear provocative or revealing clothing. Perhaps that is what Peter (the apostle, not you) really meant! Little is more, where make-up and adornment are concerned. I don't think I'm alone in this, I often hear my mates say the same. Perhaps you think differently. And as for women's bodies, if they put it all out there for all the blokes to see, there is no mystery left - personally, I'd be more intrigued by what I CAN'T see, than what is put on display for me to leer at (not that I'm in the habit of leering at women, of course).<br /><br />I suspect what Peter meant was that no amount of make-up and jewelry will make some women beautiful, if they are awful people on the inside - their inner ugliness will show through. Of course, this goes for men too, before I'm accused of chauvinism. And as for outwardly ugly people, frankly I am not sure that make-up and jewelry will help THEM either - they're better off concentrating on other things. As for any man (or woman) who marries someone for their looks - all I can say is they are bound to be very disappointed.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-22836643091769650532012-01-09T09:33:54.857-08:002012-01-09T09:33:54.857-08:00You miss the point. "1 Peter 3:1-6 and all th...You miss the point. "1 Peter 3:1-6 and all that" is about outer adornment versus inner beauty (make-up, jewelry, fashionable clothes - you know the kind of thing - stuff women rely on to make themselves more beautiful). 'Shallow Hal' is about being attracted to those who are outwardly UNATTRACTIVE (morbidly obese, or just plain ugly) but have a beautiful nature. No amount of outer adornment can make some girls look attractive. But they still have inner beauty - geddit? My being attracted to a girl isn't conditional on her having the perfect face or figure - I set more store by her personality and character. A warm loving woman is any day better than some skinny minnie who looks "hot" in a tight dress. It's the opposite of having a trophy wife or girlfriend whom you can show off. As I said, this may be a concept you struggle with, given your disdain of fat unattractive women. It's true that we all like attractive people - who doesn't? But sometimes those "hotties" turn out to be empty air-heads, and/or obnoxious prats, and then their beauty becomes non-existent. Personally I try not to judge people by their looks. My wife struggles with her weight and has self-esteem issues because she's not that hot - she's not a great dresser either. But to me she's absolutely gorgeous and I love her to bits because all I can see is her beautiful inner nature. She's a loving affectionate and kind woman. That's a lot more than I can say for some other women I've dated in the past - pretty, yes. Sleek and slender, yes. Hot - yes. But also self-centred, self-indulgent, cold and arrogant narcissists who did not know the meaning of affection or how to please a man. Give me a warm "unattractive" woman any day, over a cold frigid "hottie".Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-1236920127749600092012-01-07T08:36:52.565-08:002012-01-07T08:36:52.565-08:00Oh I'm all for inner beauty - there is nothing...Oh I'm all for inner beauty - there is nothing more attractive - 1 Peter 3:1-6 and all that. <br /><br />Must look up Shallow Hal some time :-)Peter Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222354018504253042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-78295898689810101842012-01-05T12:15:48.326-08:002012-01-05T12:15:48.326-08:00I enjoyed Shallow Hal, which I watched a couple of...I enjoyed Shallow Hal, which I watched a couple of days ago. But perhaps that is not your cup of tea, given your antipathy to the morbidly obese. An old blogpost of yours is pretty judgemental about fat people. I'm guessing your preference would be for bony skinnies like Gwynnie, and not the girl in the fat suit. Inner beauty, anyone?Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-27355657563051282832012-01-02T13:45:17.724-08:002012-01-02T13:45:17.724-08:00James,
