You Laughed Me Into Bed

I was watching an ancient episode of The Frank Skinner Show with Kylie on it the other day, and she claimed that Frank could probably ‘laugh women into bed’. What a load of crap.

Every single top ten list of the ‘sexiest men’ has George Clooney and Brad Pitt as the top two. David Beckham is usually in there too. These are not funny men. Peter Kay, Johnny Vegas, Jimmy Carr, Jack Dee, Ken Dodd, Ricky Gervais; these are funny men. Are they ever in sexiest men lists? No. Men can not laugh themselves into bed.

Women are so obtuse with their rationale for liking men. Firstly from a physical point of view they sometimes say they think that a man is ‘too good looking’. What is that supposed to mean? I find it endlessly difficult to pin point exactly what sort of men women will find attractive.

Secondly, women do quite clearly seem to be attracted, at least sometimes (note the sometimes Lizzie), by fame and money. Rod Stuart isn’t a very good looking man, as far as I can work out, but he does not seem to have to resort to lonely heart columns to find himself a girl. Peter Stringfellow, Hugh Hefner, any high flying business man – they really don’t seem to have trouble picking up chicks, no matter how grotesque they are.

I suppose it might be deeper than this – women are going for winners, as opposed to the actual amount of money these people have, but it still seems like a pretty bizarre way to choose yourself a husband.

Men are much easier to pin down – they just like endlessly beautiful women. We are hopelessly shallow. We discust me. At least there seems to be some logic to men, though. Money doesn’t seem to come into it at all, I suppose maybe men would actually feel quite threatened by the power of a women earning more money than she is.

But men can not laugh women into bed. Frank finds the chloroform sorts that out.

I like that fact you pre-empted me, it made me laugh.
Indeed, us ladies are strange creatures of the night, when it comes to our taste in men.
If a man is too good looking, it may mean a woman thinks he spends more time preening than she does, which often isn't a hit. It makes you feel as though you'd have to preen even more.
As for fame and money, it seems to be more about power than just fame. Some women like powerful men.
A GSOH, as worded on dating sites, is a bonus - no one wants to sleep with someone permanently miserable or depressed.

What would you define as endlessly beautiful? What does your ideal woman look like?

Yeah, I was once told by not one, but at least 4 different girls on 4 separate occasions that they don't like dating a guy who works out at the gym because the blokes get "too muscly".

So why do we, anyway?

Don't ment go to the gym to impress other men?
