Blazer Wives / Significant Others Picture Thread

[ABM]

Oh my, did someone turn the heat up or did ABM just walk in the room?

Yeah, you say this to all the boys.

 

[Spud147]

Raef and his wife. She is not a beauty queen, or a dancer, or anything like that. As far as I know she still owns her own business somewhere around Boston.

Love a guy who goes for the smart girl!

 

[Spud147]

I have a scale of physical attractiveness that has three elements. For a long time it was only two, which corresponded pretty well with Ginger and Mary Ann. I've had to add a third one as time has gone by.

Cute: Mary Ann. What does she look like out of makeup? Does she seem "spunky"?

Hot: Ginger. Could she be a stripper if she were so inclined?

Classy: This was the most recent addition. Sometimes there are ways that women handle themselves that is purely physical but can add or detract from overall attractiveness. A woman could be cute and incredibly hot but... be utterly lacking class. Another woman could be so-so in terms of the other two elements but have a dignity and a presence that makes her much, much more appealing.

My friends and I call it the CHC scale, and it is generally given as a 10/10/10 maximum score... I'd prefer to do RGB values, so we could be more visual, but that would be too much memorization. And would have to have us reevaluate how we communicate.

Compare these two statements:

"Tuesday night girl one called and I had drinks with her... she's cool and a 7/8/6. I talked to girl two, who's 8/7/8, last night and she can't go out on Friday night because she's hanging with her best friend (7/7/7)."

to

"Tuesday night girl one called and I had drinks with her... she's cool and

. I talked to girl two, who's

, last night and she can't go out on Friday night because she's hanging with her best friend (

)."

Hmm... it would work better if the scale was more on a curve... very few girls we'd talk about would be below a 4 in any category. Hmm...

See this is why I love men! I love the way they think, they're just so different than women. I just get a kick out of it. I've had buddies that ranked women by types of car and even cheeses. It's hilarious.

I see what you mean by class... Tila Tequila is "hot" but loses points on the class category. Michelle Obama is not as "hot" but she's smart and gracious which makes her more attractive.

 

[Spud147]

BUSTED!!!!

I heart boys.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

HCP is a Blazer, and his wife is naturally attractive!

 

[ABM]

BUSTED!!!!

Naturally, I'm sure.

 

[Minstrel]

I know exactly what you mean! This is going to sound like a female chauvinist (a fauxvinist?) but I've had instances where I've thought a guy was totally hot at first glance and then he opened his mouth and said something stupid or shallow and I was like, "nevermind".

Well, it happens with men and women. I can appreciate a good-looking guy or girl...but not if they're stupid or malicious.

 

[Spud147]

Naturally, I'm sure.

Now who's the comedian?

Where's that waiter? I could use a refill.

My wife is smart and beautiful, and she likes beer and the Trail Blazers. I scored!

Totally agree.
A women can be "hot", but the minute she lights up a cigarette or starts cussin' like a trucker, she drops to "trash".

 

[drexlersdad]

???

that make her even hotter. if she smokes, she pokes. and as far as swearing goes i prefer girls who have a nasty mouth.

sweet, demure girls are a dime a dozen.

Depends on when they smoke for me. Most girls I know smoke when they drink, which doesn't bother me cause that's pretty common (I don't smoke cigarettes at all and cigars sometimes FYI).

can't stand girls who smoke everyday though. its not a deal breaker unless they smoke like a pack a day.

I get into trouble with the psyco girls. Dynamite in bed (less inhibtions) . . . but after that wild night . . . well there are reasons they are psycho girls.

I don't have a problem with dumb girls . . . they are usually the only ones I can get a one night stand with . . .

Ah yes, this is a 21st Century phenomena I like to call the "Angelina Jolie Factor". She's crazy sexy. You love the intensity/passion but then she suggests you get matching necklaces and hang viles of each other's blood from them and it just becomes stalkerish and scary.

The best advice I can give for a single guy looking for fun in all the wrong places is learn to speak with a fake Latin based accent. Part of the reason us female fans think Rudy is hot is that sexy accent. Caliente!

P.S. Stay away from any of the Slavick or Middle Eastern accents unless you're a pro. You run the risk of accidental saliva overspray.

Before all that they should take This Test

Good cautionary... you CAN go too far. The girl still wants to be prettier than you. You need to balance the accent with something like a little stubble or James Dean-ish manly pose.

I never understood what made her attractive to so many people.

Yo, Spud, where exactly do you fall on the Vicky Mendoza Diagonal?

Hy-what for it-sterical!

While my self esteem won't allow me to turn this into an episode of the Howard Stern show with a picture I will tell you that I've been told I resemble Kelly McGillis.

As for crazy, I don't think I am but the concept of crazy is highly subjective.

I've been told I resemble Dobie Gillis.

On a related note, I totally forgot that Bob Denver died in 2005.

 

[Minstrel]

Women tell me I resemble Johnny Depp and men tell me I resemble Jessica Alba.

It can be confusing.

My $.03 (inflation, you know)

Plastic surgery: No problem if a person has a deformity due to birth defect, illness or injury. Or if a person has a feature so totally out of proportion. There are women with breasts so oversized they literally cannot stand up straight, and are in constant agony from back/neck pain.

But when a woman, on her own or at the insistence of her man, gets huge fake boobs implanted in a perfectly healthy body, I have to wonder at her priorities, or the kind of man she's with. Dennis Rodman insisted his ex-wife get implants, and when they weren't big enough, insisted she have a second set. I mean, what kind of relationship is that? I can talk about physical attributes I find attractive but if the person is a dimwit, a right wing fanatic, airhead, spoiled brat etc. I don't care how good looking she is, I will not find her attractive. In fact, most people feel that way. After all, look at happy couples, they are not usually drop dead gorgeous. I've known straight men who say they admire drop dead gorgeous women but would not really want to date a woman who could not go for a walk on the beach without worrying that the wind would muss her perfect hairdo. As I read once in War and Peace, it is not the people who are beautiful that we love, it is the people whom we love that are beautiful.

Two thought on air brushing. I read an article a few weeks ago called "The Unreal Beauty of Alissa Milano". When it comes to looks, Ms. Milano sure won the genetic lottery. And she can afford, and has hired, a nutritionist, personal trainer, makeup artist, hair stylist, and fashion consultant. She had a photo shoot for some magazine with a professional photographer using professional equipment and lighting. The article showed those pics. But they were not the pictures used in the magazine. The magazine photoshopped them to make her waist smaller, her bosom fuller, her arms thinner, erase a mole, etc. Take natural beauty, add everything money can buy to enhance a woman's appearance, add a photographer whose job it is to make people look their best, and it still was not enough. So women look at those photos and wonder what is wrong with them that they don't look like that. Men wonder why their girlfriends don't look like that, or wonder if there is something wrong with them that they don't get a woman who looks like that. But even Alissa Milano does not look like that.

Air brush story #2. I'm a University of Washington grad and keep getting their alumni mag. (It's actually a bit scary as I've never contacted them, but no matter how many times I move they keep finding me.) A year or two back Paul Allen made a big donation to UW so the mag had a cover story on him. The photo on the cover showed a man who looked, well, handsome. At least 20 years younger than his actual age. Spud talked about what time and gravity does to breasts, it does the same to faces, but the man in this photo had no wrinkles, sagging skin, or enlarged pores, just a few fine lines around the eyes. You know, enough to look dignified. He had a sparkling smile and thick glossy hair. And his glasses did not distort his eyes at all. Now, I don't want to put down Mr. Allen, I'm glad he owns the Blazers, he's surely smart and for all I know may be a lot of fun when you get to know him. But I ask Spud and other ladies on the board, would you call him handsome?

Ah, the miracle of technology!

You know, Paul has plenty of money to fix his teeth. I've always wondered why he's chosen not to??

BTW, good stuff. Thanks for taking the time/effort to bang that out....

So without being challenging crandc, the assumption you seem to make is that anyone who gets implants are dimwited, right wing fanatics, airheads or spoiled brats.

What if an intelligent, well balanced, down to earth person choose to get breast implants at the encouragement of their significant other to improve their physical attributes? Is it OK then?

I'd suggest you read my post as I did not say that at all. I said that I wonder about a woman's priorities if she gets surgery on a healthy normal body and I wonder about the priorities of a man who insists she do so.

What if an intelligent, well balanced, down to earth person choose to get breast implants at the encouragement of their significant other to improve their physical attributes? Is it OK then?

It's not my decision so not up to me to say if it's OK or not. But an intelligent well balanced down to earth woman may get a hair cut or buy a lipstick to improve her looks. Most women don't get significant risky surgery on a healthy body. And yes, I do wonder at priorities. And the priorities of a man who thinks that huge fake boobs "improve" a woman.

ABM, some people really have major dentist phobia. I've wondered the same thing. Not my business, but still...

Now here's a true beauty.....and she hoops, no less!

I believe in freedom of choice. If someone wishes to undergo surgery merely to "improve" their looks, I think it's silly, but it's not for me to judge them.
