^ As is that one. :love:

[quote]guys are only appealing when they are standing next to a girl
:nerd: :hippie: [/quote]
Only if that girl is me. I don't usually show interest guys who are with other girls. ;)

AMEN!!!

I get frustrated when guys or girls start saying "He's SOOO cute" or "She's hot," or things of that nature. It's so....bleh...

People aren't meant to be lusted after or drooled over, they are meant to love and be loved.

In terms of some people being more beautiful than others, I think it's bologna. If you are 500 lbs., bald, smelly, dirty, and a lot of other things that we are taught to relate with the word ugly, to God, you are stil beautiful...and so I think we should all try to think like that. I mean, we are all made in the image and likeness of God. How can that NOT be appealing to the eyes? We are raised to think of some things as beautiful and other things as ugly. The truth of the matter is that all of God's creation is beautiful...only sin is ugly.

Of course men are naturally attracted to women and vice versa, but I think it is important for us to recognize that both sexes are beautiful. It's God's handiwork!



Yeah, so that's my feeling :) Sorry to rant...

check the dating service thread for my thoughts on Him. im pretty sure everyone knows He is the love of my life. besides.... i dont lust over people, thank you. brad pit is a very pretty girly man and i dont think im saying the guy next to him isnt beautiful as well by saying that. we are attracted to different types of people (like nicoles brother who ehem if i can i would say has features similar to brad pitt) but that doesnt mean we see anyone else as less beautiful.

personally - i would be attracted to peter jennings and not to bill clinton. does that mean im calling bill clinton ugly? no. im just saying im not attracted to his features. i dont think peter jennings is any more beautiful or bill clinton any less beautiful - i just think peter is a cutie.

You can't say that I look at guys and see only good looks 'cause I'm sure you wil have noticed that I don't have an attraction to 'classically good looking' men.

What is good is that we do see beauty. I'd rather be able to say 'so and so is a beautiful looking person' rather than not have anything good to say about anyone. I'm glad that I can see beauty where others can't

Whoa....relax gang...I wasn't pointing fingers at you at all. I actually had a friend of mine in mind who constantly says "ph my God, he is sooo hot." It drives me nuts. That was my point.

I am just saying that we need to transcend our own thoughts and think of how God sees us. In that way, we can agree that all people are appealing....I was only answering the question. I didn't know everyone would get so defensive!

LOL....very true.


Side note: I was really answering the original question of : Are men appealing? It's not wrong to find someone more attractive than another, as long as we recognize that God's creation is beautiful.

ah sorry nicole. i wasnt trying to be overly defensive. there are people who have chimed in with similar answers before saying how we shouldnt be talking about people like that and used similar examples of how even the fattest and smelliest people are beautiful too like we were some kind of world class jerks for acknowledging our own preferences in men (or women).

for the record - im not in love with danny devito but you have to admit he's a cute little bald man!

nicole, i hope i wasn't too defensive, sorry if i was. I wasn't saying that you were accusing me or anything, i was just trying to point out that I personally appreciate men of all types, regardless of whether they are young, slim, old, chubby, tall, short, bald, or whatever
