On reflection, my husband might not have been the best one to ask. I mean, he doesn't fancy Eva Green. He married me. And I know what his ex-girlfriend was like... All in all, I think he has very odd taste in womenCockHargreaves wrote:Hmm, it seems my theory about Madonna being irresistible to all men is wrong.

Which just shows how little I understand the opposite sex

Or maybe your hubster does NOT constitute a representative sample?CockHargreaves wrote:Hmm, it seems my theory about Madonna being irresistible to all men is wrong.

I never found Madonna particularly attractive, but to men she might have been sexy due to her kinky and licentious image, they may not have perceived her as a good "wife" material, but as far as sex is concerned I'd say most of them would have gone for that. I'm not sure about now, she has a good figure but she's quite sinewy, which I find rather off-putting. So maybe your hubby actually does have a point here.
edit: I just saw your "on reflection"post Hilarious Aren't we being a bit too modest? It looks my "representative sample" argument might be right after all.

My step-mother used to fancy John Nettles when he played a character called Bergerac back in the 80s. I never saw it, personally.
He would be someone a middle-aged woman might like. Fairly ordinary. A has-been.
Still, fair play to him. At least he used to have it. I'm on one of my fed up days when I convince myself I'm the most useless, worthless, ugliest pieces of crap in the world - so even aspiring to be the female equivalent of John Nettles seems beyond me. I'm lucky to have a husband who disagrees with my opinion of myself, I'd probably just be curled up crying in a cupboard somewhere if not for him.

I remember Bergerac, there were some re-runs in Poland a long time ago. And I liked Nettles in Midsomer Murders, a very nice guy, likeable.
CockH - I know what you mean, I sometimes have such moods myself, but chin up, I'm sure you could easily aspire to be the female equivalent of John Nettles or at least Bill Nighy
