I partialy agree with you, but only in one rare instance. If the guy has a genuine interest in the book youre reading, there is nothing wrong with approaching and asking about it. But in the context of this conversation or CDR talk in general, guys are mostly looking for artificial reason to approach, which is much different, manipulative and unnecessary. If women didnt care about men noticing their appearance, they wouldn't spend so many hours in front of a mirror getting ready or glance at their own reflection while walking by a store window. Yes there are some women that dont do that, and it takes them 5 m onutes and theyre out the door but it applies to vast majority of women who want to appeal to men in a physcial and sexual sense.
Then maybe I am one of those rare ones, considering I generally don't wear makeup or do anything crazy with my hair so I really have no reason to constantly look at myself. In fact, I really get irritated with that type of woman who has to look in a mirror of some sort every 5 minutes to make sure her 'hair is in place'. It's windy, it's never gonna be in place!! I especially dislike when women apply makeup while waiting in line or sitting at a restaurant.
Appealing to men isn't super high on my priority list...it's there, don't get me wrong, but it's not in the top 5. I don't live my life trying to be a sexual object to men, though I don't doubt there are women who do, I know a few
That is ALSO a good point. But, I'm putting myself in a guy's shoes for a moment, or at least trying to. If I ever had the desire to go up and start talking to a guy I didn't know that I found attractive, never in a million years would I go up and say, "Hi, I find you very attractive." Think about it...the attraction is OBVIOUS, or else I wouldn't go up to him in the first place. So, it doesn't need to be said. For me, if a guy can't find anything else to say to me besides the fact that he thinks I'm attractive, he's not trying very hard. lol There's always going to be something else that could be said, depending on the circumstances (i.e. where we are at, what we are doing, etc).
You're not putting yourself in a guy's shoes, because a guy wouldn't think like that. For some guys, it would definitely need to be said.

Yes, even though i barely know you from posting here, i had a pretty good idea that indeed you may be the rare exception. Nothing wrong with it either, many guys do find that attractive as well.

Jet scores again! Make-up requires too much fussiness, too much checking in the mirror, touching up, carrying around clutter in the purse. Not to mention the cost. And I wouldn't call you one of the rare ones, J. Just normal.

One think I've learned is how little some guys actually objectify themselves, or think of themselves sexually or as a sex object. It was a real eye opener.

Jet doesn't go out of her way to attract attention, but I guess she can't help it...it must really suck, I'm sure.
