It's a good thing they're dead

Guys get horribly defensive about the people they find attractive. If you disagree with their perception of a stunning woman, they will insist you're lying to yourself, and become angry in the same way as if you'd just called their mother a whore.

I can be the same way.

Back in high school I didn't find Pamela Anderson attractive, this elicited an angry response whenever I didn't go with the crass talking flow, and even women got angry when I didn't conform to what they had decided all men liked.

Today I was discussing what a step up Eva Green was from most of the recent Bond girls (Sophie Marceau excluded), and three people jumped down my neck defending Halle Berry.

Now I wish to clarify this, I don't find Halle Berry unattractive, but I also don't find her attractive.
She's like a mountain, she's just there and I have no desire to climb and poke her with a pole. You can spend hours explaining in minute detail why you find her attractive and I'll understand what you're saying, but she, like Julia Roberts will still be a sexual black hole to me..



You see hot black chick



I see a genderless android

One and the same!

This is not a case of the 'internet male' being contrary for the sake of being so, or picking apart attractive women I'll never have a chance with...I'll phrase it in a way both male and female geeks can understand.

Guys, remember how Professor X can use his mental powers to make people not see what's right in front of them, even if Rogue and Jean were lezzing out in front of you, he can make sure you obliviously never lift your head from your DS - Professor X has turned off my ability to find Halle Berry attractive.

Girls, remember that episode of Buffy where Tara accidentally cast a spell that made it so Buffy couldn't see demons anymore, even as they were beating the shit out of her? Tara has made it so I can't perceive Halle Berry's hotness.

Don't be angry, it's not my fault.
