The balls don't smell anything like normal B.O. though. I've tested them right after a shower or bath in which I vigorously scrubbed the balls with soap (OK, maybe not "vigorously" but thoroughly). And while the scent is certainly much fainter at that point, it is still there! It won't go away! Am I really the only one who's noticed this?

No. I've noticed. Testicles have a testicle-y smell. But its not generally a bad smell.

Turn on WFAN. That's where my friend heard it reported.

And link saying it's not a "done" deal, but close.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Women and men who are hot know full well that they are hot. If they seem like they don't they are acting. Whether they are acting because they want to appear modest and not completely full of themselves or if they are just full of shit and think it makes them even more attractive is debatable. But the primary principle is not. There are absolutely no exceptions to this rule*.

TM

* You may run into someone who was always pretty, lost some weight or grew into their looks and suddenly became gorgeous, who hasn't quite gotten used to their new status yet, but that's about as close as you will ever come to being "utterly unaware."

This is one of those truths that no one wants to admit but is entirely correct. Everyone I know who looks good knows it and knows how to carry it to positive effect. Its learned early when people pick up on the fact that other people turn their heads every so slightly when they walk into a room, or when people ofn the opposite sex act a little more polite than they need to, or when you make slight eye contact with a member of the opposite sex and he/she turns away in embarrassment. Its that embarrassed kinda shy look the 19 year old receptionist gives you when you make chit chat. Its the favor you get from the judge's fresh faced clerk when you file papers a day late.

Part of it is charm. A good looking person with no charm will get nowhere and be thought a dick. A moderately attractive person who carries him/herself with confidence and sincere charm will almost always succeed in getting his/her way in any given situation.

A truly smoking hot woman is one who's (a) smarter than you, and (b) knows all eyes are on her and controls her audience. Its the confidence that ultimately makes the woman so hot. A smoking hottie with brains and confidence will melt any cat. I don't know why there aren't more female attys in court. I can't deal with a hot chick going up against me. I inevitably wind up wanting to ingratiate myself to them and they work me. I leave court saying "How the hell did I let her pick my pcoket like that?" Then I scratch my balls and remember...

My experience has taught me that you can't go wrong with a drummer or a lacrosse player.

Men who have fishtanks in their apartments after college are likely to be VERY bad in bed.

The sex will always be better if you have to get on an airplane to get it.

These are merely my observations. YMMV, of course.

Lacrosse players are the ultimate in man. I would even excuse Fleshy JM in one though I suspect I might never come across that.

To me, the very concept of the BG miniseries is right on the razor's edge between frightening and brilliant.

Do they still say "by your command"?

Do they still use the same special effect over and over for every space fight scene? (You know -- BG fighter shoots four shots at the Cylon fighter as the Cylon fighter veers to the left, the fifth shot hits and the Cylon blows up... and for variety, they flip the panels so the Cylon and the shots are veering right).

Sidd:

Actually, the special effects are very good, no more using the same stock shots of the three Cylon pilots sitting in the cockpit (hehe), or the fight sequences--very updated and pretty well done, I thought. And yes, the final line of the first part of the Miniseries ended with a faint "By your command", but it's no longer in that mechanized robot Cylon voice that you could recreate as a kid talking into the back of a high speed fan.

Hmm. I also remember sitting in my Dad's lazy boy wearing a Star Wars helmet and listening to the Star Wars soundtrack, pretending I was Luke in the seat of an X-wing.

Damn, I am such a fucking geek.

Take it from someone with more than a little experience. The smell is very common. I've never experienced an Asian guy, however, so I don't know if the "no sweat" thing holds true "down there."

Yes, but in fairness, that was his second choice.

Concur. Poor people also say things like "classy" (except for the poor people here who were educated about the giveaway effect of that word by Yours Truly). Poor people also tend to speak in ear bending dialects (except for those from the south where the rich have accents too but its all annoying anyway)>

Oy veh... this subject again...

1. Dialect is not an indicator of wealth anymore. I know plenty of patch folks with thick accents and bank accounts far in excess of the (insert east coast landed gentry family here).

2. Poor people do tend to fixate on class. But so do rich people. The easiest way to spot the kid who's family lost all its old money is to look for the most outdated alleged badges of old money (slightly tattered clothes, out of style shoes, Lands End jackets, etc..). A lot of ex-rich jerk offs play the reverse snob gig to hold credibility. But more and more, its becoming accpetable to flaunt what you've got a bit. Ain't too many rich folks driving beat up station wagons anymore. That's a legend of the past.

3. One sign of not being rich is ordering the most obscure liquor in the bar. If you've got any cash, you can afford to drink, which means you drink a fair amount, which means you do it for effect, not to 'savor a fine single malt.' Well off folks seem to cut through the Starbucks/Microbrew/Single Malt/Cigar horseshit. The enjoy good shit, but don't have to impress you with how much of an afficianado they are, or how much they pay for their drinks.

4. Of course, if you're Ivanka Trump rich, that's different. You don't care about money do you ddo whatever you like with abandon. But I'm not talking about Ivanka Trump type freaks. I'm talking the average rich folks you know.

FYI...

Guys aren't idiots. A lot of them understand subtlety and will drop facts they think will land them a chick. We often gear our replies to best fit the class we guess or target chick to be a member of.

Oh, and nothing is a worse indicator of wealth than a man's watch and his car. Most guys blow more than they have on both as soon as they get their first good paying gig.

That's why car and watch are merely primary indicators of wealth.
Besides, if you're in a bar you have no idea what the guy drives (believe me I've been burned on this one - a '68 Bug impresses no one.)

The truly smart women check out the shoes and maybe the belt. If he's wearing jeans, it's hard to tell since most guys will wear their "good Nikes" going out. But if it looks like a guy halfway tried to dress up and he's wearing a nice pair of Ferragamos, and maybe his belt matches, he's going to have money. Guys are pretty consistent about how much money they'll spend on shoes. I've never met a millionaire that didn't wear really really nice shoes.

Now that I know that you are, in fact, a hot man, I am concerned that you might be, in fact, gay (NTTAWWT) in light of your sweet little sleeping kitty avatar. Perhaps you should take some time for reflection on this issue. Dualit might be a valuable resource for your coming out, if need be. Or Penske. Carry on.

Just because I do not heart you anymore does not mean that I am gay. NTTAWWT

Concur. It's the combination of those legs like tree trunks, that rock hard ass, and the stamina that comes from sixty minutes of running up and down a field. That, and lacrosse players universally party like rock stars and choose not to wear underpants.

In my single days, nothing could turn my head faster than a USLA, STX or MILL sticker on a jeep wrangler.

The best sex (from a purely physical, rather than psychological or romantic, level) was with a lacrosse player I once knew. He made me understand what Milan Kundera meant when he wrote "There are things that can be accomplished only by violence. Physical love is unthinkable without violence."

Sigh.

When you meet a stranger
look at his shoes.

This entire thread is so ridiculous. The watch or the car might simply be primary indicators of stupidity. You can't tell by what a person wears or drives whether that person is living beyond his or her means. You might admire a person's taste but it says nothing about whether you'd admire the way he manages his life.
