--- Quote from: BryanP on 30 Sep 2010, 05:39 ---Sven has finally realized the truth: skinny women just aren't all that interesting.

Please stop going to extremes.
Women arent digital : either skinny or chubby.
And yes a body that is skin and bones is never really attractive, but I doubt that is news to Sven or any other man.

Okay, fine. I'll restate: Sven is interested in a woman with curves. Me, personally, I find curvy women to be more aesthetically appealing than skinny women.
--- End quote ---
Thats ok, but a woman that is more slim than Faye isnt already skinny, because Faye is considered being chubby.
Raven for example was considered being very curvy and busty, but not yet chubby.

--- Quote from: JackFaerie on 30 Sep 2010, 01:24 ---No, it's just what people do when they date. It's just that Sven is, yes, slightly better at it and more self-aware of how it works, and able to put it into words.

You make some very good points. However is precisely his awareness that his moves are tactics, and that he is using them to create desire in his partner without any mention at all that he is "into" the girl beyond possibly her physical attraction, that makes Sven suspect.
--- End quote ---
Eh, I still think people are reading him wayyy too harshly due to his past. Honestly, if he just wanted to get laid, why would he bother with dates and creating deeper attraction and all that? A classic bar pickup would be easier, cheaper, and yield faster results.
And he's not really *exceptionally* self-aware in terms of manipulation. Any girl picking "just the right outfit" for the date in terms of sexy/classy is equally aware--she knows why she's trying for a middle point and the effect she wants to create. Same goes for anyone priming their room for a date--they're not doing it subconsciously, they know why they are putting certain stuff away and spotlighting other things, and they know what they're trying to play to. Sven is just more *creative* because he's setting up scenarios most people simply wouldn't think of.
Also, all of you talking about how you do/do not like skinny women: you do realize it is equally as dehumanizing and insulting to us women to hear you proclaim curvy over skinny, since it still says "this is the standard that I think women ought to strive for to be attractive"? If you personally prefer curvy, fine, you can say that (although men tend to state their preferences about women ALL the time as though all of womanhood should care and rush to cater to them). But don't denigrate other body types or classify them as less desirable while you're doing so.

Ok, to restate Carl's question, bluntly:
What the heck is Hanners babbling about?
OOOoooooooohhhhh..... so obvious, really - the back of a fortune cookie where it says, How to Speak Chinese... right?
LeeC:
I'm waiting for the part of the date where Hanner's tells Sven that Faye went on a date the night before and the date went awesome...to crush Sven's dreams...
