Ok, I'm too depressed to talk basketball today. So, here's something I've long wondered. I was reading about the woman who has accused Carolina Panther owner Jerry Richardson with sexual harassment, and this fits the common pattern of old/overweight/unattractive men who sexually harass young/shapely/attractive women, AS IF these young, hot 20-30 somethings find old/overweight/unattractive somehow sexually desirable. Whereas men are sexually attracted to young, attractive women, it's as if these men think the converse is never true, that these women look at these old/overweight/unattractive men and routinely think to themselves, "Oh yeah, I want to tap that." Take, for example, Donald Trump. By all objective measures of physical attractiveness, the man's a pig. Yet, he seems to think that women routinely find him sexually desirable.
It reminds of years ago when I had a long commute back home after work. I'd listen to this radio show with two co-hosts. These guys were funny at times, but they routinely objectified women for physical attractiveness. I was curious one day, so I googled them. They were both badly overweight, middle-aged men, and I had a hard time believing that the average woman (attractive or not) found these guys sexually alluring.
I understand that money and power play into this, that's it's not all about physical attractiveness, but it does seem to me that men can be a wee bit disconnected from reality at times about how attractive they are to women. Men, I've concluded, tend to badly overrate how attractive women actually find them. They talk about how they'd like to do this and that to these young, beautiful women but never seem to realize that the vast majority of these women would be grossed out at the thought of seeing these guys naked, let alone having sex with them.
Anyway, that's my rant for the day. Now back to being depressed.
