"Your coat looks lovely" vs "You have a beautiful smile" which would you prefer?
Personally, I prefer the smile comment. But I know some of us work very hard to maintain a beautiful, shiny coat.

I've had more male friends than female friends in my life.

ardour said:unpleasant question:
Would you date the son or sibling of a child molester?

Solivagant said:For me it would depend on how involved they are with said child molester. If they wanted that person to be around a lot, then I'd think twice. But if they more or less kept their distance from that person, then I'd probably be alright with it.
The thing is that I really have no problem dating someone with a relative like that. I don't blame people for their relatives. However, if I thought I could end up having children with that person in the future, I would have a big problem with the children being around the molester.

Assuming they had nothing to do with the relative.
Even with no contact I think a lot of women would have reservations about dating someone, and certainly about having a family with a man who's father was a paedophile, for example. They may think him more likely to turn out to be an offender due to a) being molested as a child, b) a genetic predisposition. Ignoring this, the awareness of the fact alone could be enough to kill attraction.

Probably shouldn't have picked your post to respond to. Yes I was interested in opinions. Not to start an argument, but I might suggest that what people say and how they really feel are often different. Not that I'm accusing anyone of deliberately being dishonest, it's just that course a lot of women would want to be fair minded about this issue while underneath still feeling uncomfortable with the idea of bonding to a man with this sort of background. I was curious about whether that was the case and whether women would be willing to admit to feeling that way. There's got to be a lot men out there who have paedophile fathers and want to hide that, and I would say it's human nature and understandable to be more wary of someone in those circumstances.

TheSkaFish said:Question for the women - how do you like to be approached? In what context? Are common interests and being able to share conversation, laughter, and jokes with a guy enough, provided the guy has the basics covered (job/income, is groomed and in at least decent shape, is friendly and trustworthy, etc.)? Or does a guy just have to have some coolness and cockyness about him to cause any feelings of excitement?
