yup.

it's one thing to not like locs, but the comment about it being unhygienic is prolly the only part anyone cares about. it's the same as if the person who said overweight people made some statement as to how overweight people are disgusting or will steal their food or something.

LMAO! are you serious? what did you think you were supposed to say??

this thread just reminded me of this guy at work i had the hugest crush on. 6'3" or 6'5", 235 lbs... sarcastic sense of humor. shooot i would've crossed that work/romance line for him. :o

Well for one, I really find that I am attracted to how black men smell (I know that's kind of weird but I have a really sensitive nose). I love their voices, their hair, and how their smile and eyes stand out, especially with the darker skin tones. I find that I don't mind body decorations as much on black men as opposed to others.

Also, I find pretty much all Asian men really attractive. :D

Just smellin' like Christmas. :)

They snatchin' your pizza up? :p

Well, ladies and gents the moral of the story is:

Ain't nothin' wrong with a good loc. That is all.

Not really. But, okay. LOL.


I think she meant that she specified Black man as opposed to seeing him as a man regardless of race.

This is kind of dumb. Yeah I gave you an outlet and crushed your dreams.

He has bed bugs in his hair.

Kidding. Fine ass.

That doesn't mean that everyone has to like locs or not think that locs either are or seem dirty.

That man has hair? Didn't notice.

I didn't notice that he was anything more than a pair of...legs.

What's up with the background, though? It reminds me of when 33girl or Drolefille posted the photo of "Detective Stabler" in some thread and he was looking sexy but laying on a furry carpet. Yeck.

His 8 pack kept me from even noticing his.... legs.

Maybe it's like a contrast - "hard body/soft background" or something.

I set impossibly high standards for myself and others, but one of the things I judge women most by is how they dress. I will forgive a well dressed woman for others things (for example, crooked teeth). I know this is heinous, but I think cardigans are sexy, lol.

I love cardigans and I'm not the only woman who loves them.

I looooove cardigans too!! I seriously have at least 15 in my closet...

too tan.

you're orange. it's ridiculous.

White guys with dreds! I mean completely white, not bi or multiracial, WHITE. I think it is because they have all smelled like patchouli, and well patchouli is a huge turn off for me because it smells like mold.

You don't want to look in my closet, I own so many because of the versatility of being professional yet comfortable. I also have rocked a sweater vest or two in my day, since I am challenged by turtlenecks unless they are in reality cowl necked.

I've never had this problem. Probably because I am in the land of whitey and the men here wouldn't fake tan orange, they'd tan from working outside and be of a shade found in nature complete with tan lines from shirts. Women on the other hand, OMFG it is as if we've started cloning Snooki and Oompah Loompahs instead of mules at Idaho. I'm always disturbed and mesmerized by over tanned women who wear frosty sparkle makeup and have bleached out white hair and roots. It doesn't look attractive or natural, and no one is fooled.

Ed Hardy anything.

Sorry, Situation.

o wow...not the patchouli!!!!

...done

a soul patch

I had friends growing up who I avoided going to their house (elementary school age) because I thought it smelled musty and moldy. Come to find out later it was patchouli that I associated with a musty moldy smell and it made sense considering their parents were hippies who had a VW bus and followed the Dead at some point.

I am sure it smells lovely to a lot of people, but I have met a lot of people who think it smells exactly the way I think it smells. I havea hyper sense of smell so that is likely also a factor.

I hate the smell of patchouli and I don't understand why people would want to smell like that. It kind of reminds me of a job I had when I was in 9th grade at the local VFW Post. I washed dishes for the Friday night fish fry during lent and smelled like a vat of frying grease by the time I got off shift.

All I can do is boggle at the idea of diagnosing someone's feet through their shoes...

And being opposed to flat feet? They're just feet O.o

LOL. What he said about toes pertruding through the shoe is not necessarily accurate because it could just be horrible shoes. But it can also be a sign of Paris Hilton feet--long feet and long toes. Not cute. You can definitely see someone's feet through open toed and peep toes shoes, and from the top of women's feet and heels. I can see men's feet during the warmer months when they wear flip flops or man sandals. I love seeing a man who is well-kept because even when I don't paint my toe nails, I don't wear foot revealing shoes if my feet are ashy or anything of the sort.

I disagree that they're just feet. Feet shape posture and walking. A flat foot can make some basic things more difficult/awkward and even painful particularly for women as compared to men. Having a jacked up arch and jacked up toes can do something to you. For instance, women who wear stilettos everyday can end up messing up their toes and feet as well as their posture. I know women who had to get surgery to remove corns and fix their toes and the same can happen to people who wear flip flops (or other flat shoes without a cushion) all the time. That's what happened to Tyra Banks.

None of this is the same as having rough feet that can be fixed with a pedicure and some lotion. LOL.

All of this talk about locs and patchouli made me take the lazy route and wikipedia patchouli and locs. It was a very good reminder of the difference between the centuries-old "organic locs" that tend to be considered unkept even if oils and fragrances are used; and the "salon locs" that are considered more polished and are a more modern form of locs.

This may just be an example of Your Kink Is Not My Kink (and by You I mean PB) but while flat feet certainly can cause posture issues and cause other pain they're also not typically considered strikingly unattractive the way other podiatry issues may be. And he was talking about looking at feet through shoes. It's possible that it's just that my turn off is guys staring at my feet long enough to try and imagine every single callous...

But then, YKINMK

Amen. IMO men shouldn't be using any fake tan product, and women should be very careful. No one looks good with orange skin. I use the Neutrogena spray from CVS, but I will not get real spray tans...the stuff I use doesn't tan me, just keeps me from looking like I'm inside all the time (which I am), but a real spray tan would be Snookie-dom on me. I don't see as many women looking like fruit around here as I used to, which is encouraging.

I LOVE the smell of patchouli because it reminds me of earth and gardens and such, but the problem is that most people don't realize that one drop/roll from a bottle is enough to smell them from five feet away. I have a couple of mixes of it with vanilla or sandalwood, but I will not wear it alone because I can absolutely understand why it drives some people crazy. And I won't wear the mixes unless I'm going to be outdoors or something all day. It isn't as strong as actual patchouli, but I don't want to give anyone a headache in class. (Then again, most of the kids I know who love it wear it to cover the smell of pot, so they're over killing it. For the record, I use it just because I like it. ;) )

rotflmao!! Y'all, I am done, done, done, done. Lol! PrettyBoy, most men like breasts and butts. Black men especially are into that butt. Are you sure you're a black man? Feet? I'm just making sure, because I read one of your posts where you said you weren't into butts. Just checkin' Lol! I think if a man told me he was into my feet, and not my butt, I don't know how I would take that. What did your significant other say when you told her you were into her feet? I gotta hear this. Lol.

Everyone who's bitching about bad teeth - what do you consider "bad"? There are plenty of people out there who have healthy teeth but they don't happen to be perfectly straight or glow in the dark white.

My internet turnoff is bad spelling and grammar. I have so little to go on, if my first impression of you is that you never got past 1st grade in those areas, I don't care how hot you are, I won't look any further.

Real life turnoff? I really can't say. Things that work like crazy for one person don't work for another.

:D


But seriously, I have no problem with teeth that maybe need some orthodontics. My husband has naturally perfect top teeth, but his bottoms are as crooked as a stone fence. No biggie! My opinion of bad teeth are ones that look like they haven't seen a toothbrush in years (let alone the inside of a dentists office), have major receeding gum lines OR obviously fake teeth. A full gold or silver tooth is a turnoff. Steve Buscemi teeth? No problem. Have a Modonna gap? It's cool. Have teeth that are stained from coffee? We have Crest white strips for that. But if you're teeth are rotting out for whatever reason.... bleck.

The husband of a good friend of mine has a genetic disease that predisposes him and 2 of their 3 kids to rotting teeth. No matter how often they see a dentist or bush, they still rot (she also lets them drink tons of pop and eat tons of junk though, so she's not exactly helping their condition). She admitted that even though she loves him, she couldn't kiss him. He decided enough was enough and got a full set of dentures 2 or 3 years ago at the ripe old age of 34. He looks amazing now, and you'd never guess they were false, and she's happy as a clam.

The first thing I notice about anyone is the mouth. Not just the teeth, but the whole mouth area, smiling, laughing, sneering, or drooling. If I had to see a line-up from a crime, I could do it by the teeth. Drool is completley out. There is a wonderful, funny, well-traveled, well-spoken, intelligent doctor who has a crush on me, but I can't get past the drool.

The other part is the confidence demeanor. It's hard to notice, but if they can laugh at themselves or treat a woman as more than a support system for boobs & other goodies, that's a huge plus.

honey, how many people do you meet who drool? I laugh, because aside form children or really old folks and someone sleeping, I don't know of anyone who drools! lol

*giggity*

^^^ Damn you. Doesn't everyone see bush at the dentists office? ;)

Ewwww! Those teeth are disgusting! Blech!

Just because the dentist told you that...

You mean it's NOT normal? You know k_s wants the phone number of my dentist now.;)

NaNoWriMo is affecting me in ways I never imagined. I'm having tremendous fun making up things YKINMK could stand for.

Your Kevlar Is Not Mom's Kevlar
Yes, Koala Intercourse Never Makes Kangaroos
You Know It's Not Mortal Kombat
Yo, Keep It Near My Knees
You're Kinky In Nevada. Mmm-Kay?

I was going to try to post something to stay on topic, but honestly, I had to look again to see what the topic is. And that distracted me from my YKINMK project. So screw it. I'm ok with having hijacked this thread. Carry on.

So fucking nasty! Did you really have to post the nastiest pic you could find?

ETA: I'm surprised this thread hasn't turned into a train wreck yet.

Look at the bright side, the bottom (whatever) can fill in the missing teeth on top, just bite down.:)

Come on now, y'all.

all of you with those nasty teeth pics can go to hell :mad:

*never re-entering this thread*

Bad teeth is on my list, but personally I'm more worried about clean teeth than straight ones. No lie, it helps to have a beautiful set of chompers, but not everyone got braces as a kid for whatever reason. And blindingly white teeth creep me out. I have to use whitening strips due to smoking and a diet coke addiction, but I only take off the stains...I don't change the color. And that's all I'm looking for with a dude. Basic hygiene.

That being said, I did date a guy from England that lived up to the teeth stereotype...he was a very clean guy, mouth included, but they were horribly crooked, and smoke stained. It wasn't an actual turn off, but it wasn't exactly my favorite part of him, either.
