So I was passing the time at the K Hall the other day and decided to flip through the Song of Solomon for old time's sake.
Here's a couple doozies from old King Solomon that should really help the guys score points with the woman of your dreams:
7:2 "Your navel roll is a round bowl.".....
7:4 "...Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, which is looking out toward Damascus."
Mmm...hotness!
Lol! No wonder most of the sitcoms on tv have a hot wife and a not-so-hot, usually pudgy and bald husband. It all makes sense now!!!
For the record, I've always found a woman with a prominent nose attractive. (I've got a big old TV crush on Melina Kanakaredes, from CSI-NY)
But would you ever in a million years tell her that her nose reminded you of the Empire State Building?
C'mon Solomon! What were you smokin'?

You men should try being a "loveable hind" and a "charming mountain goat".
Sweet talkers.....
Not to mention foreplay Fred Franz style:
"Hey cow! You in heat yet? Show me them udders!"

Palmtree:
Telling my wife she HAS a loveable hind....
But, the charming mountain goat, not so much.
Farkmeister:
Moooo!
No wonder us poor JW guys have all the innate sex appeal of Chris Kattan & Will Ferrell.

That cracked me up - thanks for the laugh, esp. you, Farkel!
Melina Kanakaredes has the classic Greek nose - all their goddesses had one just like it, lol. Did you know, om, that she was on the soap opera 'The Guiding Light' years ago, before CSI, where she played a Greek heiress who married a town boy. I thought then and still do think she's a true natural beauty.
In centuries past artists depicted the female form as much rounder and heavier than 'we'(depends who you're talkin' to, I guess) think of as ideal these days. You can't have a voluptuous body without fat, it doesn't work that way naturally. >>> 7:2 "Your navel roll is a round bowl." <<< but that's still funny, and not much of a compliment by today's standards, lol, but it still beats: "Damn, baby - you need lipo!"
Wasn't there something about breasts being like a wall or towers in Solomon? It was in that Shulamite Maiden song as well I think. We used to giggle at that as kids.
Watkins:
Thanks for the historical perspective.
Humanist:
Yes, Song of Solomon is full of bizarre anatomical metaphors. But the nose being like a "tower" just seemed WAY over the top to me, an aficianado of a strong nose.
