Ahhh, you have excellent taste!

Smirnoff is cheap and a fast way to get plastered. Goose is the ultra premium stuff that smells like fine cognac, I never imagined vodka could have such complex aromas, and that's saying something since I've drunk a lot more kinds of vodka than I have lenses.

grey goose is the top of the top.. but belvedere and absolute both hold their own as far as vodkas go... smirnoff is more often than not. well vodka.. and if it's in the well that means barkeeps don't want you to know what they are pouring you... not a good idea. drink the stuff that's displayed...

If a person has a nice face I'll be happy with that. Of course one automatically looks at the body as well, but I guess I'm all for the face, then the rest of the person, and even then it's all about the overall impression. It's also how you carry yourself. But yeah, a nice smile and eyes get me every time... I saw the cutest guy on the train on the way home yesterday. Really nice smile and eyes and blonde naturally curly hair...

Hm, and I've sat next to male friends and/or boyfriens while they've checked out girls. I'm immune by now after hanging out with so many male friends. If they go "Check out those/that...!!!" I go "Nah, not my taste." ;)

Yeah I think we look the whole package, just that different weightage is assigned to different things. Personality counts for almost everything - someone whom I can talk to, and who can talk back, rather than the usual 'I'm gonna play dumb' kind. White t-shirts, blue jeans and sneakers count for a LOT in my opinion. ;) (I have very little idea why.. it just looks awesome)

I think it's good POTN doesn't allowe sig images. Another forum I look into at times have it. Omg, you don't want to know the size of those siglines

If anyone wants to see how bad an idea sig images is, just look around on http://www.micechat.co​m/ (external link). Some of the sigs there are longer than a page of posts here. Or, at least it sure seems that way when I'm trying to find the actual post amid all that mess.

Cool, thanks for the tip! Usually the places where I end up pour them out of the bottles. Never seen the 'unbranded' stuff, for which I am grateful. Could be anything...

My guys will typically just order one bottle, and that typically includes unlimited mixers. Ahh, the good old days. Maybe not so good, but we only remember the good part.

"Can't remember. Too many years and too many vodkas" is my line :confused:

FULLY agreed. POTN is most assuredly one of the better run forums, if not one of the very best I have ever seen. And I'm not saying that just because I'm posting here. You wouldn't believe the crap I have had to put up with elseewhere.

Try POTM FORUM.....they'd love to have you there, boyo.;)

A friend of mine once provided a little bit of insight into this.. "If you look good wearing that, you look good in *ANYTHING*."

I think I laid off the jeans a while back. Now I mainly have trousers. Today's outfit consist of Reebok sneakers (waaaay overworn), dark trousers, turtle neck sweater and a blazer. Damn weather. They've warned about it getting cold tonight and maybe even snow tomorrow!

mmmm...cold is good :)

I went out last weekend on a photo op and got sunburned. Problem is it would blow hot and cold every 5 minutes, a 10 deg difference at least. Terrible. Stood out there for seven bleedin' hours. Almost made me wonder why I did it.. haven't unloaded the shots yet, I'm that annoyed.

Aaaaaaanyway, I'm going to take a nap so I can continue later.... cya folks, and don't get too wild while I'm gone!

Hmmmm....perhaps the problem has been with your selection standards.:rolleyes:
However, I can help there too.
Why don't we exchange our respective photos of our own selves, clad in a bathing suit or a similar athletic outfit.
Perchance the time has come for your acquaintance with a quintessential hunk of Canadian manhood.:cool:

No flirting, no debating(:rolleyes: ) just counselling...... trying to tell you that sooner or later the time comes when one should stop being funny and start gettin' good. So, what about my proposal, ghurl ?:lol:
