So, I'm either a very vulgar, or a very stupid, yet sensitive, man. The things that I notice, and genuinely want to comment on are always a recipe to get myself in hot water. Let me explain: for instance, earlier today, my coworker Lindsay walked into the vault from outside. Because we keep sensitive artifacts in the vault it is kept at or near

Hmm. I enjoyed this. Re: your second-to-last paragraph, check out Ariel Levy's Female Chauvanist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch culture. It kind of explores how women are told or believe or whatever that they are now SO liberated that, in emulation of the typical man, they embrace sex-worker-culture (strippers and prostitutes) and how really, are we opressing ourselves more or is it liberation? Just another set of nicely made-up, sexy shackles? Anyway, I'm only about 50 pages in, I think, but it's fascinating and you might dig it.

Anyway, here is what I notice, though I do know my criteria deviate from those of the "avg. female" or whatever. I notice hands, and like when they are big and strong looking. Shoulders are important too, and the pelvic-region in general, though not necessarily zoomed in on the crotch. The problem is that for me, a lot of this relates back to my interests/area of study as well: fashion. Nice shoulders and a sexy mid-section are so important in terms of how clothing falls on a man's body, so I think I'm in part dissecting tha, but also I mean, shoulders, hands, pelvis... if that doesn't say something about instict and evolution I don't know what does.

We must get a coffee soon and discuss, okay?

xo.

yes yes.

that sounds good. there's so much to talk about; i spent pretty much my entire lunch period typing that out yesterday. it's just so weird. since i've been dating natalie i've noticed more and more how these things aren't always so... sexual. like with how you've noticed a part of your 'criteria,' so to speak, is partly based upon fashion which, if i may, has a lot to do with success (not neccessarily monetarily, but an image of, or rather a picture of), ease of being/how well one conducts themselves, and basic taste and personality. for instance, natalie and i saw a shockingly horrendous looking woman at the grocery store whose outfit (no exaggeration) had to cost at least twelve hundred dollars, and believe me, she looked atrocious.

give me a call sometime you're in the city (it's probably a lot more than i am in milwaukee, at any rate); natalie and i are going to old orchard and then to the ballet on saturday, but other than that...
