Journal johndiii's Journal: Poll: Some guys have it... 31

Journal by johndiii

This is primarily directed at female readers, though anyone is free to contribute their reaction.

My reaction to this man is:

  1. Yuck.
  2. Not my type.
  3. He's OK, I guess.
  4. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I can see where other women might find him attractive.
  5. Looks pretty good to me.
  6. HOT!
  7. I would completely lose my judgement over this guy, drive 900 miles with no rest stops to pepper-spray and threaten my rival for his affections, destroy my career (and probably his, too), embarass my family, ruin my marriage, and hold my employer up to public ridicule.

So what, exactly, do you think this guy has that apparently drives women crazy?

  • You see, he was my first and so far only student in my animal magnetism class.

    I'm afraid I shouldn't have unleashed him just yet.

    Cheers,

    Ethelred

  • 1. YUCK. I was going to pick "not my type but" I cringed when I opened the link so I suppose that's a yuck. Eww. I think his hair makes his head look too square. ;-)
  • He wouldn't say anything to anyone. He'd just sit in the back of the astronauts bar licking his eyebrows... ;-)

  • I think I'm the first female respondant.

    Initial reaction was "yuck" but I guess I could see how others would find him attractive, you know, if they had severe judgement disorders.

    Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, my sort of illness finally decided to shed the "sort of".

  • I've never talked to the guy, so I couldn't tell you my response. Anyone who passes judgment SOLELY to a picture is being shallow. I'd say that being an astronaut, he's probably pretty smart. That automatically gets his foot in the door with me.

    Besides, the chick completely losing it has nothing to do with him. It's her and her own issues. Not like he has some mystical power that DROVE her to it.

    ....Bethanie....

    • Not like he has some mystical power that DROVE her to it.

      Naturally I let the women-folk think that about me. Then they start chewing off my underwear.

          What were you doing in Ethelred's underwear?
    • Precisely!

      Sooo many men out there who think that they can't "get" women because they don't possess some "WOW" factor in looks, when the truth is, nine times out of ten, their personalities just suck. A man with a good personality, regardless of looks (good looks being a bonus), wins with me.

      I will tell you what is attractive about this man (taken from his biography on the NASA webpage):
      1) He is an astronaut. And a pilot. Annnd, was in the Navy. If nothing else, he has initiative and a good work ethic.
      2)
  • Nasty! Where's the "Run screaming and hurling" option?
  • They were in space together, then what line did he use on her, and what did he promise her in space ...?

    I think she has a defense called cosmic-ray-mania. It is a post-traumatic sex disorder, which is caused by astronauts masturbating or fornicating in space, all she needs is a few hours/days rehab.

    He was probably controlled by rectally inserted alien mind probes and was forced to meat her demands in space. Maybe it was his alien infected head probing her head in space that caused a break with reality on ea
    • I thought they'd never flown a mission together?
      • I am sure, there must have been one fucking mission they were on, in the past?
        • I read that they had done extensive training exercises together, but had never flown a mission together. But it was CNN.com, and we all know you can't trust anything you read on the internet.

    • "It is a post-traumatic sex disorder"

      More like a post-sex traumatic disorder ...

      Maybe her mug shot (where she looks so much like Sideshow Bob) is a good match after all ...

      • A post-sex traumatic disorder.

        I am appropriately corrected.

        Yep, one scary damn-dame from hell.

        Till next time ....
    • ...what did he promise her in space ...?

      Probably the stars, but he gave her Chanel...

  • perhaps he had a "commanding presence" and the women he knew were in marriages where their husbands were perhaps not as smart/aggressive/whatever as they themselves were.

    I think the bigger story here is why NASA fell over itself to say it was supportive of the crazy one, but didn't say a peep about supporting the one that got sprayed and drove, terrified, to get help. Will they shun her, like the cadets who accused others of harassment and rape at the air force academy were shunned, etc.? That's a thought,
  • He's not my type, he reminds me of an old high school gym teacher I had.

    But while there are men that women look at and want for their physical beauty, it's rare. In a world where any member of the Rolling Stones can be a sex symbol, you have to understand that women take a lot of things into account when deciding who to be attracted to.

    • Precisely. The only measure of a man that is at all relevant is the Ethelredness factor.

      I give the guy an Ethelredness factor of about 0.02.

      Cheers,

      Ethelred

      • How does one measure Ethelredness factor? Or is it only visible to the enlightened (ie: Ethelred).

        I begin to be curious how other men on /. measure up, of course I also wonder what the scale is. Is this a 0.02 out of 1? or 100? Is it even possible for the pathetic flesh of a human to contain an Ethelred factor of over 5 without exploding?

  • I really hope he didn't use that "rocket in my pocket" line...
  • I could see somebody being attracted to him if they knew him when he was a hot 20-year old or something. Right now he looks like what you'd get if you opened up the church directory and flipped to a random page.

    That said, he actually doesn't look all that bad: he looks like he could be a worthwhile man (which is rather different than looking like a throw-away-one-night-stand-pray-to-God-he-doesn't- open-his-mouth-to-speak type).
