Interviews are a pain, but they are a fact of life. I have had some interesting ones and you never know which one is going to get you that. I swear I got a job because I shared the same interests as the owner. I was not told it was the owner at the time. I assumed he was human resources. I was interviewed by the head of the department and then the owner came and saw that I put military history as one of my interests. Next thing I knew I was amswering questions on the lasts books I read on the subject. Turns out he had read the same books and wanted to know what my opinion was on them apparently I impressed him, becaused they hired me. I suppose I impressed the head of the department too.

I liked interviewing at the end of college. I got the job offer for where I work now real early. So, for the rest of my interviews all the pressure was off. In one they started asking me technical questions and for a bunch of them I just answered "I don't remember but I'm sure I could find the answer in a book". Got a job offer from that place too lol

I typically prefer long hair, but I have found that if I am attracted to a woman the length does not matter much. I also prefer slightly straight. Those hair styles they wear in those beauty pageants turn me off. Give me the Princess Aura look anytime.

This so depends on who it's on and how it's done. First off, hairstyles, hair color, breast size, whatever; I love 'em all. That said, long hair works extremely well on some and on others, not so much. Of course I've seen the same short hair on the same hot chick (Selma Blair, let's say) that in one picture absolutely rocks and in another makes you wonder WHY??[i/]. Then there's them like Halle Berry where the hair works no matter what length.

I still remember the morning this cute chick from the 7th floor was in the parking garage and she was sorta leaning forward and draping her hair down in front of her and then she whipped it back. I was driving by and just thinking "yummy what a nice start to my day". She has since cut her hair short and is no longer "the cute chick from the 7th floor". Now she's just some chick.

Nope, not whipped (nice try at the euphemism, though). I like long hair. I like short hair. Curly, wavy, straight, blonde, brunette, red, and occasionally clubbish. I like ‘em all, but I don’t necessarily like ‘em on all women. Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder; it is in the appearance of the beheld.

I think some men are so “attracted” to long hair—and big boobs—because it leaves no room for doubt about their lack of slyness. Short hair and flat chests can mean only one thing: you swing the other way. Which I hasten to point out is surely not the case for all those here present…

GRABABILITY!

I've known women who have their first child and their hair seems an attraction. While holding their infant they find the child adores pulling on their long locks. Depending on endurance these women finally get their hair cut so they can have some rest from loosening the grip of their childs claw from their long strands. I certainly can't blame them for this. I would do the same thing.

I certainly would never grab a womans hair, unless we were in a tussle. A friendly tussle. I much rather run my fingers through it.

And to add to this topic; I prefer raven colored hair over any other. I lean toward the dark side of the force.

I don't know but I think it was hiding some of the blandness of her face and she seems to have gotten extremly skinny since then. Not sure if it's an optical illusion or if she really lost a lot of weight. Either way it's not an attractive look for her.

Nah I'm more a leg man than hair. Though it's not all about the legs.

The topic was more because I tell my female co-worker friend that she should grow her hair out all the time. I just tell her that she'll get more men that way. Then yesterday she found some "dear abbey" type thing about just that subject. The lady basically said the guy is a jerk for telling her to change anything about her. Then she went on to say that the few guys she asked all agreed with him

Hmm Zeek.. well I think any guy who needs a girl to be a certain way to like her ( must have big boobs or long hair or something) is a jerk, but if he just prefers it and says so.. no big.

I think those are two very different things though. Hairstyle is pretty easy to change. Boobs are talking surgery or there's no real other options. If you had a guy friend who never combed his hair or shaved would you think it would be out of the question to tell him that doing those things will increase his chances of getting noticed? I don't see that as being a jerk. I see that as giving feedback.

That being said I still think it's a matter of honesty. The girls with the best looks are on average going to get the most attention from guys. You can refuse to play along but you're not going to convince many guys to change their minds. It's pretty much game theory at that point. Even if all women started letting themselves go eventually one would betray the others to get an advantage for herself. Then it just dominoes from there. So, if attention from men is the goal then you either play along or give up. I guess you could also say the majority of guys are jerks

MSA

Wednesday, September 2, 2009 10:31 PM

Hmm well really research shows average looks, plus confidence will get you more than being super hot. Plus there's the getting someone v keeping someone. You can be really hot and you might not be able to keep them 'cause you suck...

But I think the woman in Dear Abby was talking more about a guy who basically pulled the " cut your hair and I won't like you anymore crap" or when guys or girls constantly put down their SO and pick on how they look...
But sure if you prefer something say so, just don't be surprised if they tell you where to go.... I figure you're welcome to have an opinion but don't expect someone to change to meet your specifications.

and I love that you equate basic grooming in men to a specific type of hairstyle in women...you're so adorable:)

Oh and totally agree that most women dress up, and spend all that time not to attract a guy but to compete with other women... sad

Nope the link was about a friend telling her that if she wants more male attention then she should grow her hair out. Though he did say something about girls who tell her they love her hairstyle are lying to her just cause they know it's bad and give them an advantage over her. That last part really seems rude to me.

And long hair isn't that specific. There are plenty of different long hair styles. My earlier definition was shoulder length and beyond. I bet you could find a hundred different styles that fit that bill.

The comparison isn't perfect because it's difficult to think of something women would even come close to agreeing on for a guys looks that he has control over. I guess maybe clothing style but even that I think you'd have a much harder time reaching any kind of consensus.

Even though I have said I prefer long hair, when I look back I know most of the women I have dated have had short hair. So I would not be upset if a woman I was dating suddenly cut her hair.

Oh we have a consensus... try cologne/body spray for example... we all believe that less is better.
Note to all guys... the point of cologne is to make us want to get closer to you.. so please just a tiny bit is plenty.. then we lean in and say you smell good. If we can smell you from more than 1 foot away...bad thing

I hardly ever hear anything during the week. It does surpeise me how quiet it is here. This is a collage neighborhood. I am five blocks the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. So there are young people living all around me. My building is all single bedroom apartments, so you don't get more then two people living in any one of them. That keeps the parties small.

Our old complex was mostly grad students, with a few college kids mixed in, and it was horrid. Parties all through the week, especially on thirsty thursday @_@ tempers flared :P lol

The only thing that gets me upset is when these young people party in the streets. They tend to wander out of the taverns and meander down the streets like the are a large sidewalk. You have to come to a stop sometimes and wait till they notice you. I don't yell at them because they outnumber me ten to one and their intoxicated. They soon move off, but you have to keep an eye on them in case they stumble into your path. At least their not driving. But then I was young and foolish myself, so I can't throw stones.

I always hated when the pilot made the slightess navigation change. My inner ear could always tell when we made change. I swear the change of a fraction of a degree and my head would swim for a second. It was easier taking off and landing. Glad I have never had to fly much.

We were all ready to stream and report live from the Con but some technical diffimaculty hampered that. I only filmed an hour and a bit on the Midi in fear of not having enough space in the memory. Really disappointed we didn't get to share the room party and possible pimpage of single female friends toward the Zeek.

Funny part is the modem was unplugged for a phone charger and we only realized this late Monday morning. Whoops.

D*C was great though I didn't see as much of it as I liked. The crowds plus long distance walking to get to anything meant that I was somewhat limited in what I could do... but it was great to see all the costumes and hang out with everyone.
Though next year I really think a FFF meet up would be good 'cause there were definitely people there we never saw.

Mostly the cute little ons in their cotumes were the most fun. There was a tiny DrWho and a little ObiWan ( complete with beard) Baby Yoda is getting much bigger and can walk by himself.( the first year he spent most of his time napping in daddy Luke's backpack)
It's so fun watching the kids get such a kick out of all the costumes.

There was an awesome baby in stroller wearing a hawaiian shirt, cargo pants and playing on the dashboard of blinking lights complete with dino's his parents had attached to his stroller.

Oh Zeek she was darling and super accessible. Came to karaoke night and sang with people, came to Dr Horribles and sang. Generally hung out and gave free autographs and such. Was very sweet... we even saw her in the airport on the way home, but decided she needed a break from the D*C fans so we didn't approach:)

I do have to say that unlike so many people she was still vibrant up close. She really is that bright and shiny. Who has skin like that?

Short story: A/B Mick and myself got smart on Saturday night and went to the liquor store rather than paying seven bucks a drink (I bought a 30 dollar six pack in the hotel lobby). So a twelve pack of Heineken and a fifth of Jose Cuervo (special gift for the shiny ladies of the group) stuffed in a Browncoat backpack and a rinsed out Dew bottle later and we were sitting in a pocket of the Hilton Karaoke lounge. When the host announced Miss Felicia Day the crowd erupted. As she exited the VIP section she grasped A/B Micks shoulder to get by him saying "Thank You" as she passed. The look on his face is one I have never seen on a man before. For the rest of the weekend he told everyone Felicia touched him and sang to him. MAGIC OF DRAGON*CON

Find a Con she is attending and go Zeek. If she is ever a bigger celebrity in the mass media she will be less accessible to our crowd. Now is the time. It is the only one we can experience fully.

Haha I like how you guys are acting like there is some chance of me picking up Felicia Day at a con. If I had to define out of my league I think she would easily fit the definition. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.

What a hectic couple days. Apparently the memo went out in the company that I was looking around for different jobs. I got 4 interviews rapidly thrown on my calendar. Some of the groups sound interesting. Others need to work on their sales pitch. "If you want to work 80 hour weeks there's enough work to support it". Really? Can I give up my vacation too? Oh boy!

MSA

Friday, September 11, 2009 8:52 PM

Nope but there's a good chance you cuold get to buy her a drink or just sit and enjoy her company... so worth it:)
