Several days ago FHM released their annual list of the women their editors consider to be the 100 sexiest on Earth.
The key words in that last sentence were “their editors consider”.
As is typically the case when FHM, Maxim and/or AskMen publish lists like this, the comments pour in by the bucketload…mostly from guys who are shocked and appalled by some of the choices. Invariably, they also have a few ideas of their own on who should have been included.
As for me? I pretty much take it for what it is–an opinion piece–and move on. I mean, this latest FHM list was released five days ago and I just now figured that out…accidentally.
But I do think there is one MAJOR takeaway available from lists like this: The truth is that even if some magazine considers a certain woman to be among the 100 hottest on Earth, there’s someone else out there who thinks she doesn’t deserve to be on the list.
In fact, I’ll take it on step further for you. Invariably, whenever lists like these come along I can rifle through the “winners” or “inductees” or whatever you want to call them and find at least half of them utterly unattractive.
The way I like to describe this phenomenon is as follows. “If [insert name of anorexic, surgically-enhanced, horse-faced model whose face looks like a boy’s with too much makeup on here] showed up at my door buck naked with six-pack of Spaten Optimator I don’t even think I’d get aroused…at all.”
Now don’t get me wrong. The other 50% of the women on the list are probably well-deserving in my opinion…except don’t get me started on AskMen’s choice to term their respective list the “Most Desirable” when so many they “enshrine” are known viragos with recurring addiction problems. If you’re going to use the word “Desirable”, there has to be a talent contest and a thought question round to go with the swimsuit competition. It can’t just be a beauty contest.
In any case, it’s worth serious consideration that OVER HALF of the “Sexiest Women In The World” aren’t all that sexy…not to me or to a dogpile of other guys, for that matter. And believe me, I’ve run this experiment with dozens of other dudes who end up laughing to themselves in agreement with me.
To be clear, that percentage of women who are NOT perceived to be all that sexy by a certain guy may vary, as will the exact women on his list.
Actually, though, that’s the beauty of it (if you’ll pardon the pun).
Here’s the bottom line. No matter WHO a woman is, and no matter HOW MANY guys think she’s attractive–or even extremely so–there’s ANOTHER cadre of dudes out there saying, “Meh…”.
Even if she’s on the freaking “Top 100” list.
So here’s where I throw you a curve.
Let’s turn our attention from FHM’s list of women to YOU now.
If the “100 Sexiest Women On Earth” are subject to debate, then there’s NO WAY, NO HOW that ANY of us can expect to be attractive to 100% of every member of the opposite gender we strike up a conversation with.
But based on how much of a whammy the whole idea of “rejection” lays on so many of us, you’d think virtually none of us had figured that out yet.
In fact, I dare say most of us HAVEN’T.
But here’s the truth of the matter. No matter WHO you are, if you let the opinion of ONE PERSON shape how you feel about your own ability to attract MOTOS (members of the opposite sex) in general, then you’re barking up the wrong tree…completely.
In fact, I don’t even care if you’ve been “rejected” hard–complete with direct insults–by several women, gentlemen. Those few DO NOT speak for the many.
If you do the best with what you have and use “the four-letter word women wish men would use more often” (i.e. soap) then you CAN attract women. Not ALL of them…but MANY of them.
And ladies? Don’t think for a minute that skinny “supermodels” with no hindparts whatsoever are universally attractive to all men. They’re not.
In fact, I’ll be completely honest with you. Maybe I’ve been hiding under a rock (in fact, I’m sure I have…I don’t watch much TV or whatever) but I’ve never even heard of the chick that FHM voted #1 on their list. And guess what? I’m not the only guy who isn’t even attracted to her, according to the comments. But someone obviously disagreed…a lot.
All of that said, however, I don’t care who you are. If Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus belong among the “100 Sexiest Women In The World” then you’d better pack your things…the world is about to end.
But ironically, I don’t think they OR any of the other women who I don’t think belong on the list REALLY CARE what I think. They’re not going to feel “rejected” because some dating coach in Texas isn’t so impressed.
After all, they didn’t get on that list for no reason at all. SOMEONE voted them on. The fact that it wasn’t me is really irrelevant. I think just about all the women on the list are doing just fine when it comes to finding some other guy to go out with.
Be Good,
Scot
