I am always hearing that women actually find this attractive but is it really true?

it makes t-shirts a pain.

― cºzen (Cozen), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

"a bit"

― amateur!!st, Monday, 30 August 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

"belly"

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

If it is true what is so great about it?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

What is the male equivalent of 36-24-36?

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I never understand those measurement things.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

a pot-belly humbles the man.

― sexyDancer, Monday, 30 August 2004 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I like women with a bit of a belly, serious.

test scores?

― cºzen (Cozen), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

It's the measurement of bust, waist, and ass in inches around. 36-24-36 is actually kinda ridiculous.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

"do you like my pot?"

― cºzen (Cozen), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

My girlfriend doesn't seem to mind. I think my measurements are 38-34. Um, wtf would my hips measure? Where would I measure then from? Who knows.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

It's chest-waist-hips.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like an actual non-male person to confirm or deny.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic.

Thanks. We can stop now.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

DO YOU NOT HAVE GIRLFRIENDS? LIKE, EVER? Surely this is one of the first thing a lusty teenage boy learns?

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 August 2004 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, I'm married.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I do not understand what I am writing.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

How much is a bit of a belly, tho?

For instance, I'd say I have a lot of a belly, not just a bit of one.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

But no, i guess I hung out with a different crowd as a teenager.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

this is myth, adam.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I think we have an actual debate.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

But I have the middle-aged woman lower-abdomen pooch thing that looks excellent hidden with pleats and/or high-waisted pants.

i'm with jess though

― amateur!!st, Monday, 30 August 2004 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

whereas my love of the lardy lassy is no joke, my friend.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Are we arguing about bellies, women's measurements, or golf?

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i think when girls say they like men who have a "bit of a belly" they mean "and otherwise he's totally fit"

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

That describes me then!

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

fuck off

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

You love me really.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Wouldn't that look a bit weird, tho?

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a bit of a belly.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Do women find you attractive?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

mandee think bruce willis in his "sloppier" roles

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean I think Jack Black and Phillip Seymour-Hoffman are swoonable. Don't they have bellies? Plus jess what you just described above is what I usually think guys mean when they say THEY like 'a bit of a belly' ..

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i know this is gonna sound like typical jess maudlin self-dep but i am really amazed to think there have been women who wanted to see me naked. there are not very many people i'd actually want to see naked, really. it's got nothing to do with body type or weight or anything.

i don't like a "bit" of belly on a girl. i like a belly.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

For instance, I totally dig Jack Black

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

jack black and phil sh are fat, btw

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i sort of suspect i don't really want the kind of girl who gets off on phillip seymour-hoffman.

(jess continues to be otm.)

― amateur!!st, Monday, 30 August 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, but what is aesthetically good about a belly? Is it a sign that someone enjoys high living, that they are not obsessed with their their figure?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

So do I take a picture of my belly and link it then or what?

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Pictures of bellies tend to be misleading.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 30 August 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know adaml, some do, some don't. I have heard some girls say they don't like skinny or muscly guys so maybe this isn't a total myth. I think by bit of a belly they may mean pot belly and no excess weight anywhere else, like beer belly or something.

it helps if they have a throwing muses, breeders, tanya solo or the new mission of burma cd to make it classic

― kephm (kephm), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I have none of those.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

A shameless belly can denote an 'I don't give a fuck' attitude, or a lack of self control. Both of which can be k kute.

― mei (mei), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I had more of a belly when I was in really good shape. I was mad cyclist/running chick, but I liked to eat too.

Now my tummy's much flatter and I'm in horrible shape. Sometimes it's just...I dunno, but it's not all about being fit.

A bit of a belly on a guy is classic, or so I think lately...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I worked hard to get rid of my belly and when I got back to London, my female friends were split in opinion between - "OMG you look fantastic" and "Barms, WHERE HAVE YOU GONE PLEASE STOP IT". I know I can't win, but that was hard. I never liked my belly much anyway, but it must be noted I certainly got more action when I had it.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

As the near equivalent of a woman (1.12 women, to be exact) and the possessor of a bit of a man-belly, I feel qualifed to answer this question.

The answer is: yes, indeed; they do.

― Aimless The Unlogged, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Back when I was fat, I nearly had a giggletits attack when a girl I was making out with told me I had a "sexy body".

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

"Oooh, you such a freak, girl, would you like me to shake my big round booty for you? Do you wanna feel these squidgy lovehandles, lady? Put your hands on my manboobs, that's it, go on...get ready for some heavy love, baby, mm-mm-mmmmmmmmmmm."

― Fat Usher (Barima), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Usher looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, he'd look better if he was fat.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Fat Usher would be an awesome club act. Some heavy set guy prancing around singing "U Remind Me" shirtless and twirling all over the stage. If the guy's choreography was tight and voice was decent you could make some big money with Fat Usher.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

"If you enjoy pizza, you enjoy me."

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't har mar whatsisname already doing this?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

a) it would have to be a black guy with a shaved head

b) he would have to be singing Usher songs

c) his choreography would have to be sweet

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

d) OH NO YOU HAVE DESCRIBED THE GUY FROM D12 ABORT ABORT ABORT

I'm flashing through all the old Usher videos and trying to imagine Fat Usher recreating them. The spastic face-touching from "U Got It Bad" is especially pleasing.

Nicole, that's mean!

At least she picked the cool one; it could have been Michaelangelo.

Ironically it's Fat Usher that will be spinning a pizza on his finger.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 18:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I rather like to snuggle up and cuddle into my boyfriends' belly thank you very much. I don't mind them in the slightest.

― Gemx, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 23:55 (twenty-one years ago)

well, usher could do with a u.s.p. apart from his annoying face. nevertheless, the indie rule prevails: slightly debauched and gamine body (on either gender) with small pot belly....THIS IS THE RULE!

― minerva, Wednesday, 1 September 2004 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

is the only way sexual desire can be discussed on this board is in terms of "i like..." or "i dislike..."? terms i find NOT VERY ENLIGHTENING.

i honestly didn't realise that the idea of politics being embedded in sexual desire would be so controversial! it seems so obvious to me - when you say "yes" or "no" to something, you say "yes" or "no" to the baggage that goes with it. i personally ABHORE the idea that sexuality is something innocent, mysterious and unexplainable. its stifling.

why must desire and politics be conceived as polar opposites? what use does it serve anyone? why is politics such a swear word in the context of desire? acknowledging the interactions of politics with desire doesn't have to be a reductive matter of "you like such-and-such thus you are conservative/liberated", and i'm sorry if i made it sound like that was what i meant... all i meant is that we should be able to debate freely about the aforementioned baggage in a respectful and intelligent manner.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 00:26 (twenty-one years ago)

on the subject of assymetrical faces... take a good look at shannen doherty's eyes. they are totally picassoed out.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 00:28 (twenty-one years ago)

"respectful and intelligent" hahaha

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 00:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Lucy, it seems like what you're kinda doing here is making a totally fair enough point abt politicised desire and all, but like are you actually surprised when people whose non-controlled "natural" (yeah yeah) tastes automatically ally themselves with discourses that are kinda horrible and reactionary and bad don't like RUN FORWARD, here?

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

(I actually totally agree with your whole last big post and feel silly now)

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 01:18 (twenty-one years ago)

(I happen to like girls who look like 50s cheesecake models, and yeah the reasons for that have a lot to do with me being uncomfortable with being a faggish skinny jewboy and a lot to do with ideas of the pastoral that are probably kinda horrificly unpleasant when I stop to consider them, and I'm happy to be attacked or not on these grounds, but Ally is dead-on abt a lopsided c/d if that equals and cancels out one "I like X bcz I am MODERN") (But like I honestly do agree that that's a cooler way to be talking about it) (Um and we were discussing men anyway so I'll um sit down and go to bed).

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 01:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The big problem with asking people to talk about their sexual turn-ons beyond the "I like X and dislike Y" is that most people don't seem to think about sex and in fact believe that analyzing sex ruins it (at least that's the vibe I've gotten from every ILE sex discussion to date; they all seem to boil down to a flip-flop between "EW GET THAT PYCHOANALYSIS AWAY FROM MY HARD-ON/PUSSY FLUSH" and "maybe if I'm ironic/sensitive enough you will buy a plane ticket and fuck me").

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 01:49 (twenty-one years ago)

(Um yeah and I'm really really really sorry for "PUSSY FLUSH", won't happen again.)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 01:50 (twenty-one years ago)

are you actually surprised when people whose non-controlled "natural" (yeah yeah) tastes automatically ally themselves with discourses that are kinda horrible and reactionary and bad don't like RUN FORWARD, here?

god, you're so right, everything seems so NICE in theory but its not like i'm totally honest about aspects of my own ambivalent sexuality here either. i am such a hypocrite.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 02:21 (twenty-one years ago)

the problem isn't acknowledging the politics of desire but doing so in a k-lame facile insulting way as so often happens here.

anyway, i laughed for about five minutes at the idea of "fat usher." i think it's golden.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

this qusstion invites generosity and kindness, like when liv ullman says to her husband in scenes from a marriage wouldn't it be nice if we could be fat and jolly, after her husband runs off with a young woman.

― youn, Wednesday, 1 September 2004 04:29 (twenty-one years ago)

"maybe if I'm ironic/sensitive enough you will buy a plane ticket and fuck me"

I can't be sure, but I think this may be the best thing Perry has ever posted.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 06:23 (twenty-one years ago)

It is. "PUSSY FLUSH" being the second best.

Being totally honest about what turns me on - women do. And sometimes men. Not all different shapes and sizes, by any means, or all colours and creeds, but people who are obviously physically and (not so obviously) mentally healthy, who have an air of confidence mixed with slight irreverence. I like ankles, tummies, breasts and faces, but mostly I like the way someone walks.

And, at the moment, considering my girlfriend of the last three years is a size 8 and quite shy, I like loud girls with ample arses and big floppy tits.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 06:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't quite follow the logic of your last sentence.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 06:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I have been with my slim girlfriend for three years and, although I love her very much etcetera, now have a hankering after burying my face in a huge pair of breasts; what's not to get?

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 06:38 (twenty-one years ago)

It's like eating eggs benedict every morning for breakfast - it may be the best breakfast ever, but after a while you're going to be gagging for sausages and hash browns and beans and black pudding.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 06:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it was the 'considering' and the relatiionship between shyness and floppy tits.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 07:10 (twenty-one years ago)

"maybe if I'm ironic/sensitive enough you will buy a plane ticket and fuck me"

*looks at plane ticket, gets paranoid*

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 07:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Who you going to see, Lucy?!

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 07:30 (twenty-one years ago)

shy = antonym for loud, innit.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 07:30 (twenty-one years ago)

after stalking slash in LA, i'm going to tucson to meet justyn. i hope he isn't really a cactus.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 07:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Be kinda cool if he was a cactus, though.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 08:06 (twenty-one years ago)

cos if i eat him i might hallucinate?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 08:20 (twenty-one years ago)

That + spines, yeah.

― Jimmybommy JimmyK'KANG (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

lady ms lurex has been spending too much time reading judith butler (erm, winner of the 2003 bad writing competition), and not enought time gettin' it on.

― paulhw (paulhw), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

how much time searching and researching my posts did you waste to come up with that incisive one-liner?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:40 (twenty-one years ago)

some people aka most people aren't interested in discussing sexuality in the way that you'd like them, and that may frustrate you but there's no need to look down on them/us for it. it's like if you jump into a "i like them they're great" discussion two people are having about their favorite bands, and you start talking about the Freudian neuroses that cause the lyricist to write the way he does and they're all like whatever man it's got a good beat.
