h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Er... is the sun too bright? Are you in mourning? Muslim?

No, it's what I wear to do belly-dancing.

Wow, I´d love to see you do belly-dancing. Unless you mean that you also wear other things besides that veil

But another note, I´d like to hear what you as a bisexual find beautiful in bodies Mandragora. To me a woman´s body is beautiful like a smooth marble statue. While a guy´s body looks like someone trying to do a wooden sculpture with a chainsaw.(Even though I have seen that been done rather nicely). But maybe that is just me being a guy. So you being rather impartial, what do you say?

I am able to do belly-dancing in more or less anything. I'd prefer to wear seven veils, though.
As regards other question:
(Now, how did you guess my dark secret? ) I tend to think more in terms of texture being the main thing... women are soft. (When I've grilled men about this, they agree that softness is important.) Proportions too, (you'll have heard me go on about this before, for sure) in that there have to be definate curves (out-and-in-and-out-again, basically). I have a dislike of really thin bodies (in women, however in men I don't mind scrawny), likewise immense rolls of flesh (I think this is because both disguise the underlying shape.) Individual features I'm not bothered with- being in possession of breasts, for instance, I think if they're too big for the person they'd be bloody annoying.Anything oversized is unattractive. However- men as well- there've got to be definate buttocks, rather than just the tops of legs. And I absolutely loathe 'toned' bodies (a la Geri Halliwell)- nang.
As for men, although I like your description (and agree), there are several things I find attractive. Sporadic patches of fur, firmness, etc. I don't pay much attention to individual parts, though... and men do on the whole have a slightly odd shape. Seen from the back, you seem to have (not you personally) buttocks that hang in space- they're just there, unlike on women where the whole shape gradually fills out. Bizarre. (But then I do life-drawing and I've seen some odd behinds, in odd positions). Then there's that hollow bit on the side of the thigh- these I find fascinating, since I don't have them.

Queex says that the naked female is a thing of beauty, the naked male a thing of comedy (prob'ly a quote). I don't think there's something inherently amusing, but women's bodies have more of a definate shape and so, visually, are more of a spectacle.

Hope this is some help... going to sleep now.

mmmm - sporadic patches of fur *drools*

Does that mean you like semi-bald guys?

No, silly.
I mean not wall-to-wall bodily hair, but quite thick patches here and there- chest rugs bad, sweet little tufts good. This only applies to the front of the body, though- furry backs are just weird. The hair has to be dark, also, since blonde doesn't really show up.

But soft, furry chests are lovely to rest your cheek on

Human or animal... (no I'm not a zoophile as well)
What about facial fur? This is fun to play with.

It also has the advantage of not sandpapering you to within an inch of your life when they kiss you

Good point! And a sharp tug thereabouts will stop them if they're being horrible.

I'm not so keen on bearded ladies, though.

Response to Post 85, which mentions "the curse of the Drool". I was at work, drooling (Post 80) and I just want to point out that I was, in fact, asleep. I woke up, still drooling, and posted.

This would be to do with Night Owls and Day Jobs, but that's another story!

Poor Fenny! I hope this doesn't become a problem... you could cause an electrical fault.

Butts are good. Definitely good. And firm muscular arms and legs. (I'm talking about men. I haven't defined what I like in women, but shape and softness would probably be important. I'm still reeling from contrasting Xanatic's preferred smooth marble statue with Mandrake's preferred soft body!)

Facial stubble is a bad thing; the stage in between just-shaved and five-o'clock-shadow is a very very good thing. There's a wonderful place just on a man's shoulder (if he's lying on his back, and you're a woman) where you can rest your head. I've never had a pillow so soft!

I'll agree: Sleep makes all people cute - although you could blame that on the darkness!

Re: Drooling at work - Computers already buzz and fizzle at me! Usually, it's because I want them to do something they're incapable of, but there's the odd occasion that I want them to wear my coffee, tea, or general drool; that's when they really complain!

Hurrah for buttocks... fashion may come and go, but bums remain.
Stubble is nasty, yes. Causes a rash. But when it's grown out a little bit there are certain tricks the owner can do with it... (but then I'm biased on this issue.)
I've just contemplated what it would be like to wake up to a smooth marble statue... chilly, for one thing. And it'd make all the sheets cold. I'd much prefer something at room temperature.
I'll have to search for that shouldery place, and claim it in the name of Women.
Sleep has a nice softening effect, but so does a pillow over the face.
(Anyway- you should be in bed, missy!)

Likewise to you, I'm sure!

I know I said I'd go to bed an hour ago, but this conversation is so much fun... I thought I was weaning myself off, but obviously I'm failing.

Certain oils can make bristly hair softer; alternatively, you could ask him to suffer [if necessary] in the cause of beauty, as so many women have done before him, and use wax to remove any extra hair !

No, not something I've considered in the case of my own pretty-toed muscular heart-throb! Something that has been done, but not to him! That's a point of beauty for women, I think: waxed not shaved. But then it's not easy to tell. Anyway, that's just to tease Xanatic . Sorry, Xanatic!

Now, be nice.
This is something that causes bitter argument: the attractiveness of furry toes. I think they're sweet, since hobbits have furry toes and we all love hobbits, right? Others think it's disgusting.
(Not that I care overmuch for feet in general- polite indifference where they're concerned.)
As for waxing... I wouldn't be too keen on waxing me, let alone anyone else. (I know it's not supposed to hurt, but the very idea of it. Who came up with it?)

Waxing - probably a man. But then, I thought that about corsets, and you've written that men were bigger critics of those than women, so maybe not.

Besides, I've tried both, and neither are as bad as you're lead to believe (in fact they're both quite enjoyable8))
