I didn't know women had those...

Keira is a low-rent Wynona. Or maybe it's the other way around. Either way, we surely don't need two of them.

My vote goes to Sally Philips who could laugh me into bed any time, any place any where.

I notice nobody posted a photo of their wife/girlfriend!!

erik - well, have you seen her....


Meant totally in jest - Kate is the light of my life, beautiful, kind, caring, and knows my password, so will be along to check shortly..

Life's a bitch and then you marry one... if you're stupid enough to get married.

EW

Cheers EW - I know I was stupid, but having you point it out was not needed....

I went out with a model when I was younger, and I can tell you, it was a pain in the ass. Whenever we'd go out somewhere and try to have time together, someone would recognise her and come over and say "Oh..aren't you....". It used to piss me off to the point that sometimes I'd just wander off, especially when a bunch of them came over. Everything comes at a price. This sexiest woman thing is nonesense when you realise they all stuff tissues down the sides of the sofa, leave apple cores on the floor, sometimes have bad breath. We haven't even got to their parents yet!! It's such a tiny thin veneer it means nothing.

Sorry, I'm just being a miserable twat as usual. Those typically mean-spirited comments weren't aimed at you.

Isn't something like half of the women on the list American? Did the Boston teaparty ever occur? Or is my understanding of the english language so poor

I used to live with a model, she was self obsessed, neurotic, not too bright and hard to please. She had men following her around all the time and never had to work at anything like 'relationships' becasue she could always find another rich man to take her out and spoil her. (a recurring theme in my life)I am still touched that she did live with me for awhile when I had very little money but I always knew she would eventually tire of me and go back to the high life. I knew it was all over the day we shared a bath (as we did often)and she couldn't be bothered to get out before having a piss.

Well, it could be read either way: 'the sexiest women in the UK', or 'the sexiest women according to a poll conducted in the UK'. But bearing in mind the source of the poll, and the domination of the cinema by the USA, it's hardly surprising that American women feature so, er, prominently.

Beauty is, of course, only skin deep. If we fall in love with a girl and stare into her beautiful eyes and think 'wow, those are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen' how would we feel if she took them out and put them in our hands? If we marvel at their soft skin how would we feel to have a bucket of the stuff, and what would she look like without it? Men and women are just bags of rapidly aging offal and being too attached to our bodies and attached to the bodies of others is jolly painful. When we are strongly attracted to the looks of another we start imputing all kinds of qualities on them and we ignore their bad qualities, if the feeling is mutual we both make great efforts to show oursleves in our best light and spend much time posturing, strutting and rutting. After awhile this gets less exciting or even boring. We cant keep up the effort of showing ourselves in our bestlight and we sit back and look for rewards for all the effort we have put in, expecting the other to keep up the effort but we dont make it ourself. When we see the other not making the effort that we ourself are no longer making we say 'she is not the person she was in the beginning'. This is the point when one or both decides that the addiction to the drug of being in love is such that a fix must be got elsewhere and they split up OR they grow up and see through all that bollocks and realise there is mutual benefit in staying together and working through differences in a supporting, loving and tolerant manner.

We suffer alot from a problem of definition. We use the term 'being in love' but we would better describe this illness (for so the ancient)greeks thought it)as attachment. We get attached to someone and cant bear to be without them, we think about them all the time and get jealous if they spend time with another. The degree to which we are attached is the degree to which we feel pain when separated from them. Pure love, on the other hand, seeks only to give and cares little about receiving. Being in love is selfish. It is not about the joy of giving it is about the joy WE feel when we are with the other person. Of course we care for the other but that care is heavily contaminated with attachment. If love is about caring can we truly use the expression 'being in love'? We tell ourself we care about the other but how quickly do we stop caring when we find them in bed with another or they dont live up to our expectations or feed our needs?

I could say I have been lucky to have had some truly stunning girlfriends and my ex-wife was truly beautiful but I have to say there was no benefit over cost. Compatibility is the key thing not looks. Compatibility and compassion. I would trade the ability to get on with each other through thick and thin for stunning good looks any day of the week. To feel truly content with ones partner is a priceless feeling.

True, but you'd still rather doink a superficially sexy bird than a superficially ugly bastard wouldn't you?

. I know you like to be a grumpy old bastard EW, but you do brighten my day.

Agape, Philio, Areos . . . and the greatest of these is ....?

But don't you need a mix with varying proportions of each needed at diffrent times during a relationship or am I thinking too hard?

Anyday day of the week and twice on sunday EW

I dont need a drop dead gorgeous babe who is a complete bitch in my life nor do I need a complete angel who looks like the back of a bombay bus. If I am going to spend the rest of my life with someone she should at least be easy on the eye and easy to get along with (and have a small bum - I can't stand bloody great big arses, they are offensive and there is no excuse for it)but I'm not fussy, I can get along with any woman as long as she has big tits (and likes a good rogering at least once a day)and of course intelligence is also important. So you can see I am easy to please, especially if she has a good sense of humour, speaks properly, likes decent music and reads good books. It does not pay to be too fussy, which I am not, as long as she is patient and tolerant, comes from a decent family, is thoughtful and caring, has a decent education, a mind of her own, a large circle of decent friends and an endlessly positive optimistic outlook on life.

OK I am only joking. Maybe we should start a new thread 'what do you look for in a man/woman/whatever turns you on? Does anyone have little tests which a prospective boyfriend/girlfriend has to pass?

I often ask the simple question 'what are you reading at the moment' Most women look at me as if I am mad and thus fall at the first hurdle. Then there is their record collection. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with someone who likes playing hip hop, rap, punk or any other type of Orc music at ear splitting volumes?

Oh dear, it's all so complicated.

Another thing: I know alot of women, I have a alot of female friends. Many times I have met them for coffee and listened to them pour their hearts out about relationship problems etc (male friends too)and I am often surprised that although they have very well defined ideas about what they want from a man (indeed they have bloody great long lists)when I ask them about what they have to offer they have to think hard about it and the list is small. There is a lesson there I think.

It's chemistry Erik, not ticking boxes on a list. My wife is probably the only person I have ever met who I know I can live with successfully, and she bloody infuriates me to hell and back - and I her. But strangely it works.
One thing I just can't stand in a girl is them agreeing with me all the time. I can't respect someone who doesn't respect themselves first, and that means putting up with no shit from anyone, and that of course includes me. Oh, and the big arse I wholeheartedly agree with too.
My wife is off again this weekend for the 4th time this year for a few days away leaving me with the kids, and I'll get my time away too later in the year. That's another thing - I can't bear being joined at the hip; we all need space to live and breathe.

Rasher,

I'm sure it is chemistry (whatever that is) but I've been caught by chemistry before and wished i had ticked a few more boxes. My female friends tell me they follow the box ticking practice quite ruthlessly at the same as reading romantic fiction . I too like to be challenged by a woman. I am not perfect and I need to be disagreed with. Time apart is important. I have friends who have been married for ever and they take separate holidays as well as holidays together. I took a girlfriend to the cinema once and she wanted to watch one film and I wanted the other so I said 'ok you watch yours and I will watch mine and we will meet in the foyer afterwards' I thought this was a perfect solution but she hated it, she watched mine and sat there resenting it. That is no good at all. My SWMBO is not at all compliant and resentful she does does seem to want what I want although our tastes are somewhat different in some respects. We give and take and get by nicely. Space to breathe is important to me, I feel easily suffocated, I'm not one for pubbing with mates every other day or sitting in front of the goggle box ranting at the football but I do like to potter around doing my own thing in or out of the house. People who have very long lists of wants are doomed to be unhappy. I like to think I can get on with most women given half the chance. Yes, there is always someone better, but why waste life looking for her, there comes a time when one just has to say 'this one is more than good enough and the rest is up to me' and get on with what one has. Life is too short for petty squables. I quite enjoy a damn good row though and making up is great. I like a woman who knows her own mind and wont put up with sh!t, mine or anyone elses. I cant stand passive-aggressives though.

LOL - I bloody well hope not. I would rather shoot myself. I know a good many passive-aggresives who hide out disguised as Buddhists. These days I know better than to get involved with them but it wasnt always the case and I have the scars to prove it.

It's Keira... hands down
