i'll second that last for hipster geek-boys as well--what, is crusty body funk the new trucker hat or something? there is nothing cool [or attractive] about smelling like you sleep in a pile of filthy socks.

"sjp is kinda ugly-cute, actually." uh, yeah. in fact, on a bad day, sjp is just plain fugly. like the wicked witch of the east hamptons.

dating deal breakers...

-DEFINITELY women who blog about their date. how crass and privacy violating is that? must all interpersonal relations now be public fodder to be picked apart en masse by total strangers??? (you don't know how infuriating this is until it happens to "you")

-bad hygiene... or more specifically, women with bad breath. speaking of which, so far I've read three random blogs by women who looked hot, where they claimed they "hadn't bathed in a few days." hey, I like a tomboyish girl like the next guy, but c'mon, wash your ass. ;^)

Jen, good point on the geek representation. no wonder i like those two guys so much! ;)

It usually is a clever way to reject the receiver, but when the mass emailer suddenly comes a-calling again, the emailed suddenly has hand!

Rion - Okay, I think I know where you're going with that one, so I'll suggest that one of the girls has to date a geeky blogger who knows how to treat the women well. But actually Charlotte's boyfriend, Harry, is this clumsy, weird Jew, so I think that's the geek quotient. And actually Steve is a geek even though he may be a bartender. Those glasses! That voice!

Would mass email be a deal breaker for the person who recieved it or, is it a clever way of the person who sent it, to reject the reciever????

this is what i want to know:

why the heck was carrie's clumsy and geeky simu-date a graphic designer? are we so dorky, by profession, that they had to make a point of it? why the blatent typecasting? --- to make up for this injustice, i think samantha should have a steamy affair with a typographer... or perhaps she should chase after some hot information architect ass... THAT's the real issue here, people.

Sam - Damn, is that what that mass email I got from that boy meant? Mass email - I'm on the utility road to Friendsville?

You go to pick her/him up and she/he lives at home with parents.

Deal breaker:

When the girl/boy includes you in a mass e-mail after just meeting you a few days ago.

Well, I can understand man hands as an excuse. And I would guess that gross feet would be a turn-off for both men and women. But I didn't realize there were specifics involved, aside from Eddie Murphy's brilliant portrayal of a man who likes lovely feet in Boomerang. And yes, Aserdaten, it totally seems that the feet thing can only be confirmed during nice weather.

I've never heard this sexy hands/feet thing before. How do you find out about the feet before you've committed yourself to, um, significant intimacy? What do you do? "Hey, ummm, would you mind wearing open-toed sandals on our next date?"

Sexy hands can be so many different things. My gf is an artist and her tiny hands are far from spotless, usually stained by ink, but they're precise and surprisingly powerful.

Hell, perfectly manicured hands with elaborate nail polish and sculpted cuticles -- it's a major turn off -- what kind of woman spends so much time and cash on that kind of thing?

A long time ago, I interned at the Cambpell Soup Company; my job was to coordinate taste-testing. Because of market fluctuations, they often changed the proportions of ingredients or even swap one ingredient for another (hence, you might see the word "or" in a list of ingredients). Anyway, even with this sometimes wild shift in recipes, the end result always tasted the same. I've always seen this as a decent analogy to why I'm attracted to wildly differing women, yet always have very similar relationships with all of them. One thing though (to carry the cuisine analogy further), I really think I'm turning into a food snob...

Well if we were hitting it off and I personalities

were compatible and things seemed to be going in the right direction, then I guess it would be...... something to tip the balance. I guess if she had the best hands and feet I might ever see and we did not hit it off it would not matter much.

Oh, got it, it's a totally subjective thing. For a second, I was worried there had been a tutorial on "Sexy Hands and Feet in 5 Days" and I missed the boat. So would sexy hands and feet be a deal maker? Or something to tip the balance?

Sexy hands just have to look nice. I dont think

that there is a specific formula, it just has to work on a certain level that appeals to me. I by no means want to degrade anyone's hands or feet, but some look better than others, to me anyway, dont u think so?

What are sexy hands and cute feet, pray tell?

A deal breaker for me even if it might be kinda common,is if a woman doesn't have sexy hands and cute feet I cant date her.

sjp is kinda ugly-cute, actually.

nope, ileana douglas is just plain uggggly.
