Are you grading on a curve?
I don't know very many men with curves... 
Tigress,
I mentioned something about you in my last (and very vulnerable post) in Does God Have An Agenda. I may regret having been so vulnerable. I guess I'll see. I remember, this is supposed to be about ideas, not people, but I'm having trouble separating the two tonight.
What I said, and want to say here, is that I appreciate your vulnerability, your being real, and honest. It is courageous, and refreshing, and inspiring. Soooooo thank you.
God Bless,

Thanks Joanne. The title of this forum is after all "Tearing Down Walls."  I'll have to describe my idea of a gorgeous man sometime when I actually have some time to do it.

| Posted 11/18/2004 5:25 AM (GMT -6) | | Okay, my idea of a gorgeous man...there's really no one formula. I've been attracted to so many different types of men in my life that there isn't just one generic structure to use as a standard.
Here's what you wrote, Joanne:
"Tell ya what...I'll go first...my idea of a "gorgeous man" is first and foremost a man who is passionate about the Father, then secondly passionate about me. What he looks like is of a lot less importance than if he is gentle and kind, has a sense of humor, and loves others as Christ loves...those are the more important considerations, and if you find a man like that...you'll be attracted to him."
I agree, but I was making the point that even though most Christian men would say this about their idea of a gorgeous woman, the woman's physical appearance usually trumps these other things (is the final deciding factor) even if she has them all. That ticks me off and it shouldn't be this way. Why are women always expected to be so virtuous in overlooking a man's physical make-up while men are allowed to regard a woman's physical appearance first just because "that's how they're made" and because "they're so visual," etc? That's a bunch of B.S. as far as I'm concerned, and it's a double standard.
