Anyway, I understand what you're saying. I went out in LA awhile back and every single woman looked exactly the same -- blonde, fake lips, fake tits, nose job, super skinny. That shit gets boring fast. It's like they're all trying to be the same person.

And it amazes me how many men judge the attractiveness level of a city on just how many of this type of woman live there. Whenever someone asks about where the hot women are, the answer is always the places where the concentrations of these girls are high. It's silly.

*The corollary to this is "the girl or boy next door" or "classic" good looks. As far as I can tell, all these things mean: white. In my mind, Taye Diggs has classic good looks, because I tend to think "classic" means very chiseled, strong features. But I've never seen anyone who wasn't white described this way. Similary, no one seems to have lived next to a hispanic, asian or black person.
Exotic Good Looks:

Sela Ward
Uma Thurman
Tax Wonk

Classic Good Looks:

Taye Diggs
Denzel Washington
Halle Berry
Zhiu Yang (sp?)
Cicely Tyson (30 years ago)

Every comment made with regard to any of these women is relative. You know this. So I don't know why you spend so much time repeating yourself unless you're just challenging yourself to come up with crazier, more vivid ways of saying, "She's hot."

Well, the problem with that is I've heard black women (and other racial types of woman) referred to as "exotic" when they (specifically) and generations before them came from this country. I also don't understand why white is considered any less foreign than black. And I think there are white women out there who definitely look "exotic." But maybe I'm just all screwed up because I never closely examined the etymological root of the word and everyone else who uses it has that firm understanding.

Maybe we can change all the references to "Abercrombie" or "Non-Abercrombie."

Things that suck
 
another installment in a periodic series.

Going to a chamber music concert at the onset of a cold. I was doing everything I could from loudly hacking up a lung during the movements, and I was (partially) successful, but it totally took away any enjoyment I would have had of the Tokyo String Quartet. (Beehtoven, Webern and Schubert, for those who are interested.)

In a separate category, the cold, no longer in onset stage, sucks too.

The inclusion of one of your examples (see if you can guess which one) renders the point you're trying to make with this list completely ineffective.

ETA she looks like a fairly normal -- prettier than average, but not gorgeousness -- woman in this picture.
That's what makes her so "exotically" hot. I disagree with TM's definition of "exotic." I think it does cover foreign chicks, but lately, I think it also covers slightly flawed chicks who are not perfect. Maybe its just a way to describe the anti-LA-prefect-California-blond.

The French chick looks like a woman could meet, and if all things worked, including the Rohypnol in her drink, you might be able to actually land her. That attainableness/regularness is really sexy. But we can't call it "regular" cause that's not very flattering or interesting. So we call it exotic.

...Or I'm just fucking deluded beyond belief and think I can do a lot better than I can, which is more than entirely possible.

Well, it didn't matter what I said. The only thing they would believe was yes. … People are going to believe what they want."
That's not a definitive no.

Actually, I think we agree. If you have a definition of classic good looks that is as inclusive as mine (and apparently Tax-Wonk's-minus-one), then beauty that is substantially different than classic would be exotic.

Detachable Penis
 
  • Nu Wong
    The world's first penis transplant.
    By William Saletan
    Updated Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2006, at 9:11 AM ET
    (For the latest Human Nature columns on baby-making, global obesity, and living death, click here.)

    Chinese doctors performed the world's first documented penis transplant. An unexplained accident left the patient with a "small stump," unable to urinate properly or have sex. Doctors gave him the penis of a brain-dead man whose parents agreed to donate it. Good news: After 10 days, he could "urinate smoothly" and showed no signs of tissue rejection. Bad news: After two weeks, "because of the wife's psychological rejection as well as the swollen shape of the transplanted penis," the organ "regretfully had to be cut off." Upbeat conclusion: We're figuring out the human body. Skeptical conclusion: We still have no clue about the human mind. (For updates on the world's first two face transplants, click here, here, and here. For Human Nature's take on genital mutilation, click here.)
