    I've noticed pretty much all babies do that staring thing. TV stresses out women? I never knew.

    I am just reporting on a study I read. In my report, I never said it stresses women out. I said it relaxes men. There is a difference. In most studies, women become bored and move on to a more active activity. Also, in my anecdote, I never mentioned babies. Correct, all babies/infants stare. That has another purpose. A 2 year old is a toddler, and at this point what captures the attention changes. Girls are more engaged by social situations, and boys tend to do the staring thing. As Trixiecat said, this has been studied for years in developmental psychology. Cheers.

    You seem to say that jokingly but I know that's the reason behind it for some men. :p

    Is it also a trend thing? And don't give me 'men don't care about trends...' maybe men are just as brainwashed about what beauty is?

    I sound like that woman form Sex And The City. hahaahah


    wasn't joking...i believe this could be a reason :)

    i don't understand your trend notion though :confused:

    My son does that when he scratches down below. :D

    I still do it when I pee. Sometimes I am so fascinated by it, I forget to put it away. :D

    That's not what I meant. :D I didn't want to be too graphic since he's not given me permission to write about him... I just meant, like when he has a bath, he fiddles around down there and gazes off into space... :D

    I think TV relaxes everyone personally. I've never been enamored by flashy jewelry. The concept is lost on me.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Again, losing the point....gold hoop earrings are not flashy by any means.


    Anyway, thank you for understanding cutback.

    Sorry, sometime against my own better judgement, I cannot resist an opening thrown my way.

    flashy.. shiny....same thing.

    What interests me most is a girl that looks good all by herself. Honesty has nothing to do with it. It's reality for me. Putting earrings on someone I'm not interested with in the first place does nothing for me. It's either a go or a no, and how shiny the earrings are have no impact after the fact.

    how about shiny hair, wet lips and glowing skin? Shiny is alluring...and it doesn't take jewelry.

    Just pointing out the facts, Sweetie.
    See... you women are holding all the cards... you just don't know how to play them. And the worst part... your opponents are probably the dumbest things when it comes to it.
    Men are good at a lot of things... but, somethings (women) have us so baffled... well, we just don't get it. like that 'seinfeld' episode where he talks about meeting women... and men have no clue so we've gotten to the point where we just honk our car horns in an attempt to meet you. That's how confused we really are.
    ...
    So, I think you (women) might think it's sparkly body powders or shiny earrings... it ain't. And it's not just your tits and ass we're after... although, admittedly, that is our ultimate goal... we like how pretty you are... how nice your hair smells... how soft and curvy you body is... how sweet your voice sounds.
    and we can't just flash our crotch at you... because... well, it is perverse. Mostly because male genetalia is hideous... it's bulbous... and gnarly... It's like baby Alien popping out of that guys stomach. Secondly... it's against the law. Besides, women respond to it with either disgust or laughter... and the ones who are willing are the ones you want nothing to do with.
    But, women... yeah... it works. Like that movie where Sharon Stone shoots a beaver at those cops... every guy wants that to happen to them.
    ...
    Now... that's if you're just looking to get laid. If you are looking for relationships... that's tougher. We men are dumber than a box of hammers when it comes to relationships.

    Those things indicate signs of good health. To think that men go into some drooling mindless trance over shiny objects is half baked at best.

    And this years winner of Post Of The Year *opens envelope* is....*drumroll*...Cosmo! For his concise comments on the complexities and dumbness of the male nut, and extra plaudits also for his amusing comments about the male genitalia :D


    p.s. really, honestly don't think I would be comfortable in the Sharon Stone situation,....just being honest.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    This is a true statement

    Oops, thought the title of the thread was that men ARE attracted to shiny things. I know that I am and I would assume most guys are.

    I think the same thing goes for pretty gold hoop earrings.
    :)
    They seem them catching the sunlight and just are mesmerized.
    This also kind of goes with a teensy convo I had with someone about how certain people will speak to certain people with a different level of arrogance...and the arrogance is often directed towards those said people find shiny.
    Thoughts?
