I am going to start a “hotness” rating company….

TheBigOldDog on March 15, 2008 at 10:34 PM

I’d like to start a company like Carfax for women, and name it HoFax. It would be nice to get a history report and check their “mileage” so you don’t waste any time on the bad ones.

These child-adults are being demonized by being products of their parents and the change their parents brought about with the “sexual revolution.” Kids are growing up in a conflicting culture – they are too young to think for themselves (voting at 18, drinking age is 21) but are allowed to make extremely adult decision (birth control without parental consent, age of consent -16, 15, whatever) – they have an unparalleled level of freedom of self-expression yet at the same time no way to express their true selves because of indoctrination of schools and television of what a teenager is supposed to be. They are forced to be grown up at too young of an age, and forced to remain childlike for too long- elongated adolescence. They are given wings and told not to fly because when they do they find their wings don’t work because they turned out to be an illusion to begin with. What recourse do they have but to believe the superficiality of what is important when it has been abundantly demonstrated that nothing is important, that they cannot trust their own ideas? It is easier to pretend life is a game than to take it seriously, especially when no one takes them seriously.
Girls think that their sexuality is currency without realizing that the more they use it the less valuable it becomes; guys get to enjoy sex without the repercussions and remain in perpetual adolescence.

Everyone is flailing about, trying to find the happy medium. Everyone is simply looking to be loved for who they are while trying to wear a mask so they won’t be judged for who they are. It is a delicate line – how can you love someone without knowing who they are? How can you love yourself if you don’t know who you are?

That’s just demonstrably false. You can’t seriously claim that in a country with this level of obesity, any significant percentage of population is obsessed with hotness.

this is indicative the lack of values in the American culture (America used to be a special place…remember all those WWII movies where the guy meets a girl, gets married and goes off to fight for the good guys?)

That’s why me and thousands of other single/divorced American guys go to Latin America and Central America to find a woman of family values, romance, and fidelity.

Of course, if you don’t subscribe to those values, stay away, don’t ruin it for the guys that ARE looking for good Christian values in a woman (and children).

I’ve met my woman, whom I could only dream about in material-feminist-laden America in Costa Rica.

Ha! I would gladly wear the label ‘prude’ than participate in Spring Break craziness. terryannonline on March 15, 2008 at 10:43 PM

Yup. Interestingly, a Townhall columnist has written a book of that title on this very topic: how this kind of culture damages girls (and guys too).

YUP! that is why 25% of teen girls in the U.S. have a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Fathers and mothers have caved to being a “friend” instead of being parents, indulging teens instead of guiding them and disciplining them. Unless American parents awaken, I weep for the future generations of self-absorbed, self-centered, self-serving and just plain selfish children.

Many women during spring break seem to believe that their sexuality is their only currency.

I spent the last week in South Beach for a conference. The place was packed with spring breakers. Judging by the skimpy clothing and other public displays, I’d say the statement above is sadly correct.

I painfully agree. But history always runs in cycles, just like fashion. I heard a recent study that family values are slowly coming back. So maybe there is hope.

I agree that there still is moral virtue in our society
but I think you will find it mostly in the religious communities and not in atheistic secularism.

Thank you for the most erudite comment on this topic.

What honestly scares me (as I work for a PD in a alcohol-sodden college town – if that’s not a redundancy – and see -plenty of what you cite) is that these are the future bosses, supervisors and managers of my 8-year old son.

I’m going to tone down my “hotness” as well. I’m tired of being judged by my great body. My incredible comments get lil’ respect. What to do?

By the way, if any of you have “TOOL-10,000 Days”, uhh put it in with a hearty bottle or red and let’s do this.

I don’t see any reason to be shocked or even dismayed that young women earnestly desire to be “hot.” In former times, before poisons of sterility and abortion were readily available, being hot meant a woman would probably have children with a healthy, wealthy, honored man. Men’s perception of hotness seems to be, in part, their instinctive perception of a young woman’s exuberantly good health and, therefore, of her fitness for childbearing. It also seems to be their instinctive perception that a woman’s features are somehow optimal for human life.

One can criticize some of the things women do in order to be hot, on the grounds that those actions are unhealthy or deceptive and therefore defective from the standpoint of the end. However, putting women down just for earnestly wanting to be hot seems to be life-denying, decadent moralism.

I bring ratings to Hotair. I’m the new Hot “Thang” here. Controversial, yes. Hip, no. Compromising, absolutely not. Every good spot has its “in” folk. Your welcome Hotair, no need to pamper me with free Hotair merchandise. I’m coming out with my own line of “Moderation or Death” gear. It’s big in Europe(except Britain and France) right now. The jewish Czechs can’t get enough it as we speak.

But the more ~~women~~ wh*res I talked to, the more it became clear that hotness was, for them, ~~the largest factor in the equation of their~~ a substitute for self-worth.

My collie says:

A wh*re with self-worth? I think we've come full circle to "classy hooker" again.

For every cheating man there is a women aiding and abeting him, and they used to call her a whore. I believe women in the past, before the so-called 60s sex revolution, knew how to contain a males runaway hormonal passions. Now with their dress and manners they (the women) seem to encourage it.

I have to disagree with your approach. Instead, let me be the one who incites the conservatives to come out and make their voices heard. Look folks, all it takes is a simple email to your congressman (or a letter or office visit). I get replies all the time to my emails (and not auto-responses either). I have candidates looking into the FairTax and why we aren’t allowed to build more nuke power plants and recycle spent nuke fuel rods because of my emails. The problem is that the radical minority (liberals) are louder and have more free time during business hours than we do. (We work hard for a living) Start sending emails to your reps and senators. Tell your family and friends to do the same! Eventually, hopefully, that rep will see your point of view and weigh it accordingly instead of being fooled into thinking the loud minority, who has to much free time, is representative of the majority. It all starts with you. START SPEAKING UP DANG IT! It all starts with YOU. Good night. God Bless. When we have a real conservative and constitutional congress and senate, a liberal president won't matter.

I agree docdave women now adays see the side effects of child baring as insulting. maybe it is becasue we are lacking real men in our society. instead of looking past the stretch marks and weight gain and loving our new family, the typical male lets his hormones gethte best of him and he cheats.
