The List PDF Print E-mail

Recently, talk of "the list" has been in active conversation with friends. It was somewhat foggy in my brain so I wanted to put together something coherent with a gauge to get it clear. Initially, I wasn't even sure of the maximum number allowed, so Kim and I talked about it. We decided on ten. So, without further pause, here we go (starting from absolute best to still amazing):

  1. Anne Hathaway
  2. Zooey Deschanel
  3. Maggie Gyllenhaal
  4. Claudia Black
  5. Jewel Staite
  6. Amanda Tapping
  7. Rosario Dawson
  8. Tina Fey
  9. Jeri Ryan
  10. Vanessa Angel
All of these ladies have a certain characteristics which draws me to them. Many of them are more attractive to me because they play tech-savvy characters in scifi movies/series. However, quirks like a great sense of humor or an amazingly seductive aura prove to be the source of my infatuation. While this list isn't "laminated", most of the women on here have been consistently attractive to me from the moment I saw them. I may come back and rethink the order, but I believe the choices are there to stay.
During the discussion with Kim, she noted that we don't really use the same methodology to choose the people on our respective lists. I would have to agree, though I hadn't really considered the traits women chose for men. This prompted a little further research. Checking with the all-knowing Yahoo! Answers yields some interesting conversation regarding just how women (most commonly) seem to choose men to which they are attracted. I submit the following examples:
I'm pretty clueless about the accuracy of these articles, and they are only meant to stimulate further thought or discussion. Being submitted to the Internet, they probably lack the social filters many would find in books and day-to-day conversations.
I do find that one form of my initial attraction to a woman is the outward personality she exudes through her appearance. I recently saw a great example expressing this exact feeling on geekosystem.com. A picture of Audrina Patridge (whom I'm not particularly attracted to) from a Maxim magazine photo-shoot,  was "hacked" to display her in a more cerebral light, and I do find myself much more interested in her. Here's a link to the article in question: http://www.geekosystem.com/maxim-photo-hack-audrina-patridge/
I hope that Kim will give some thoughts to her list and riposte on the Lady Penguin's Blarg.

This was a triumph
I’m making a note here: huge success
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

But there’s no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

I’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me
I think I’d prefer to stay inside
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway this cake is great
It’s so delicious and moist

Look at me still talking when there’s science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
I feel fantastic and I’m still alive
And while you’re dying I’ll be still alive
And when you’re dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive!
