You know, in the spirit of the thread it occurred to me (as I've been cracking dick jokes all day - essentially) that there has to be a commensurate level of vag humor. Ladies, whatsup, you got jokes- or is this a boys club type thing?
(I've always honestly wondered)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If men and women were to have little regard as to what makes the other happy, they wouldn't be attracted to each other, so yes I think it's rather important for women to be concerned about that, among whatever else they wish to concern themselves with. It's all very well for women to say who cares what men find attractive, but in reality, if women are unattractive, whether that be in their looks or manner, men will not be attracted to them, plain and simple. You can't look or act any old way and come across any old way and expect men to find whatever you do attractive. Look at the animal kingdom.
What you don't seem to understand is that not every man shares what you fond attractive. But you seem to have me on ignore. Probably because I'm a woman .

Placing your perceptions on the world will not make the world that way. The world is as it is despite the sexist colored glasses you wear. Not everyone's perception of beauty is the same, because what one man may find unattractive another man may find quite beautiful. One should not concern herself with what the typical man thinks, but rather she should concern herself with how she views herself foremost. Once she is comfortable with herself, the right type of men will also see her for the true beauty she possesses.

-if she possesses any...lets be realistic now-some have simply not been "blessed".

I had to give you a thumbs up there Maelstrom. Your post made me laugh for reasons that I don't think you can understand.

Yes, if woman wants to attract a man, she should concern herself with what men find attractive. What your tiny, misogynistic mind seem incapable of comprehending is that not all women live simply to attract men. It's almost as if you believe that women exist for no other reason than to please men...

As long as there are enough women who place sufficient importance upon what men find attractive, there's no problem. And there never will be a problem because nature always wins, and in nature, there are trends. Some are dominant, the others are a variety of minor exceptions. Women who have little interest in being attractive to men are welcome to be the way they are, that's part of nature too, but the fact is that most women are concerned with being attractive to men, and therefore, it's important to be sure that a woman who claims she doesn't care what men think of her is not being coerced into that frame of mind. It is, after all, the dominant trend in nature for women to want to attract a male. It's not wishful thinking, it's observation of how things are. Women do, to an overwhelming extent, want to attract men. The minority that don't are free to live as they wish, but they aren't the dominant majority, and they are not attractive to men but that's ok because there are plenty of women that are.
Thank goodness Macky is here to ensure survival of fucking.
