I actually understand both points of view here. . . . and a few others.

I wonder, do I hold the record in this forum for the longest post ever?????

how about the record for the most posts with the same point??? (the evils of neofascism)

If not, you certainly hold those records in my heart.

What are we arguing about here folks?

I can argue with myself about almost anything, but it's not as much fun as arguing with my wife. . . . . or anyone else. . .. ha ha

but really, I don't like to think of myself as "arguing". . . . more like thinking out loud. And sometimes I learn some stuff from others. . . . and it doesn't feel like a defeat, but a personal victory.
 
In football, things can move really fast sometimes, but a lot of the time the most essential part of the game is being able either to defend the line of scrimmage, keeping the opponent from a first down, or being able to consistently get a first down yourselves. I don't mind taking time for a substantial discussion of any topic in here. It's what makes this thread tolerable to some extent. . . . . maybe why I haven't just been canned.

Still looking for MoTown to come back with some scouting reports on the 9'ers draft choices. . . ..

OK, let's lay some groundwork here. I see that you're a genuine Jazz fan who's laid down some tracks walking the walk. Probably not a crying in his beer philosopher or another type of old fart who's got nothing but lost dreams. So here's how I'd like to frame this question:

everything exists in some context which is essentially an infinite network of circumstances in the real world, or an infinite neural network of connections within a human mind. Guys go to their strength by focus and drive to achieve a specific goal. Women tend to read the whole scene so to speak. In the mind of the woman, that "whole scene" is interpreted in terms of whether or not she matters to you in some way she considers important. If she has "looks" you got to notice them. If she has brains, you've got to notice them. If she is religious, you've got to love that in her.

The picture you paint of the choice between a girl you consider to be "hot" or "sexy" or "the nice girl next door", whatever your reason or motive, is going to be judged pretty much the same way by both girls.

The "hotty" is still going to be looking for all those clues about whether you love her in total.

The "girl next" door is still going to be looking for all those clues about whether you love her in total.

In real life, a guy is probably gonna bop over and drop some pick up line on the hotty to see if she will even tolerate the interest. Most guys will get some kinda simple, plain ignore. If you're a "hot" guy, the two of you will probably smile a lot, make some jokes, and laugh and get something going.

The guys who just get blown off by the hotties will probably one day meander over next door and just say "hi. . . . how ya doin'". If she thinks you're the nice boy next door who's sorta good looking and maybe mentally stable, she'll start talkin'. After a while you might be talkin' about every day, and doin' stuff together.

Whichever case it proves to be, life will still go on. Every day brings some new twist on what you each think. You'll start to have to make some adjustments for the sake of the friendship/relationship. How much you're willing to do for each other is what determines whether it will last or not.

So in the end, it all boils down to how much you care about the girl. And how much she cares about you.

Sometimes a little time will show you what you should really do.

And by the way. . . . with all kinds of "values" in the mix, physical appeal is not meaningless and does in fact matter. . . . but there is a sort of spread in how people will react to another's looks particularly in sexual attraction. And there is probably no woman that someone won't actually want. . . well, pretty much not very many. . . . There is some guy out there who is gonna think your nice girl next door is really hot.

I think the reason you ask this question reflects a capacity to think seriously about more things than just a woman's looks. By all means go talk to the most attractive women you run across. Someday you'll find one who will talk back and care just as much for you.

And all the same, go talk to the nice girls like the one next door too. Someday you will find one who just gets prettier every time you see her, because she's happy to see you.

Thanks Babe, some good stuff in here and nicely laid out too.

I agreed with most of it, and coupled with what PKM said yesterday I think I've got something to go on with here, so thank you.

You 2 formed a really nice partnership.

I felt like Babe, you built the tower for me to climb, and as I got to the top - PKM you showed me what to look for. And I saw what I was looking for.

So thanks for the team effort guys.
 
somehow, I overran my mile marker 3500 without doing my little celebration, that's about 2000 new posts in the sixty days or less since this thread was started.

you're very welcome.

I'd like to make this exhibit A for what this thread can be.

The model of an open door to a place---- theoretically my living room---- where friends can come and find some other friends to just talk to for a while. Maybe with a big screen TV with the Jazz game on.

compounded perhaps by my model B: A sort of three-ring show for sheer entertainment as I march out some acts I think can be either interesting or fun.
 
So what do Zulu, Orangello, Nightmare, and Stoked have in common????

They are the only participants in this thread who've joined after the 5*26*2010 rebirth of this forum who have more rep than me. . . . and they also have more posting weight too.

substantially more posting credentials than me.. . . . going about twice my overall rate since I joined. . . . .

nightmare and stoked are on track to be the all-time leaders in about two years.

Well that's the reason I decided to post the question in this thread in the first place, knowing that I'll at least get some sensible answers out of it. The alternative would be to start a new thread, but then the question would be thrown to the wolves, with everyone wanting a piece of the action.

But yeah, this kind of thread only works if you have someone who's committed to the course (similar to PKM's draft thread), otherwise it'll just run out of energy and die.

But I guess if you enjoy what you're doing - why stop right?!?!

So, k3, why not start a thread and commit to its course? Could be fun.. and I'd volunteer to be a wolf.

LOL.. not much of a leader.. don't really have that much of an ambition neither.. I'm content just sitting back and contribute where/when I can.
