Yulia Tymoshenko

[Brucelles]

Since Yulia Tymoshenko is a political giant in her native Ukraine and will probably be the face of Ukraine after the upcoming election someone has to ask the difficult political questions.

So probably the most pressing question is:



Would you doink her?



You have to admit, you'd rather snuggle up to her than to Gordon.

[MadduckUK]

yes, yes i would "doink" her, why wouldnt you she's rather nice

[alsenior]

defiantly

but you have to admit Gordon would most likely keep you warm at night.

i suppose that this keep politics interesting. one must wonder how long until 'photo's' surface

[menthel]

Please remember that this happens to all women from that part of the world...

[greenalien]

I'm rather more worried about Gordon 'doinking' all of us...

[ajbrun]

I call a photo editing competition .

[Rave]

She's striking, yes. But definitely not my type. Too thin, and too hard looking.

In any case, I've met a few politicians, and they're almost all repulsive people in my experience- especially female ones. Sandra Gidley may be an exception- she was nice, albeit evasive, for the two minutes I met her, so I reserve judgement. She did get my vote in the 2000 Romsey by-election.

I wonder if people had the same discussion when Maggie walked in. . .

Lol, I must be the only person where a woman's personality, intellect and voice makes up about 80% of her beauty, some people think I'm camp because of it.

For example, I'm going out with a woman who has a brilliantly rich personality, is very intellectual has a very warm and well spoken voice...before we first met up in person she had filled in the personality and intellect criteria, so when I first met her and I heard her voice and the fact she was actually physically attractive as well was the deal clincher an the proverbial icing on the cake.

Choosing to stay with her was an easy choice to make and we're still brutally in love with eachother one year and three months on.

On that basis, I wouldn't touch that woman as shes a politician so there is an immediate issue of trust, I don't do quickies with strangers or one night stands. I prefer to know quite a bit about the lucky lady over the course of a few days up to a week... oh and she's miles older than me, yes, thats a big deal to me

[JPreston]

Lol, I must be the only person where a woman's personality, intellect and voice makes up about 80% of her beauty.

Yes - yes, you are

[kidzer]

Lol, I must be the only person where a woman's personality, intellect and voice makes up about 80% of her beauty, some people think I'm camp because of it.

No - no your not

Ditto, being attractive is important too, but luckily I know a lot of smart/nice attractive people!

[Stoo]

Apparently Margaret Thatcher is her role-model...

[BEANFro Elite]

Yes - yes, you are

Well if a lot of guys out there think a lot like you then it comes to no surprise to me that so many relationships end with either half stating "he/she seemed very nice in the beginning, but once I got to know him/her...".

My point being, this is my first REAL relationship and she is to this very day, flattered that I take an interest into what she was really about and don't just want to have her in bed, its all about patience as well as prudence and then EVERYTHING else in the relationship will come to you

In respect to that woman, I think she looks a little like Paris Hilton which is a right turn off but having said that, I'm sure shes a million times more intelligent and equally more of a treat to converse with.

Yes, I'm the sort of guy that likes a good conversation, its the mainstay of my own relationship with the missus, but is something that is surprisingly neglected in the average relationship.

I'm sure many of y'all will agree with me, like Mr. Zak33 probably would, but meh, I don't care, I care that my relationship works.

[Saracen]

I agree with BEANFro, and for much the same reasons as his, I wouldn't "doink" her. I'm very happily married and am doing NOTHING to imperil that.

If, hypothetically, I were not married, then would I doink her? Maybe. She seems to me to be a good-looking woman, especially considering she's closing in on 50 (47 in a few weeks, it seems).

But I'd add three things.

First, beauty is subjective, transient and, and least in photos, often somewhat artificial and/or contrived.

Secondly, looks fade. So if you're after a quickie, they will take on a rather elevated relevance compared to if you're after a long-term relationship.

Thirdly, if you are after a long-term relationship, I'd MUCH rather put personality, intelligence, sense of humour, common interests, etc ahead of looks.


If I weren't married, I'd certainly be looking for a relationship not a quickie, but that doesn't mean I'd turn down a quickie on the way. So, in those circumstances, would I? Probably.

She is also a pretty fascinating woman in terms of what's between her ears rather than above her navel. She has, very definitely, "been there, done that". I suspect she'd be bright, educated and very capable. Of course, she might also be an utter bitch. But who knows.



Finally, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ..... and it changes. What I found attractive many years ago now makes me feel very uncomfortable. I look at a girl in her late teens and I don't think about doinking her, because she's young enough to be my daughter .... or perhaps granddaughter. The mores of our society embed themselves in our subconscious in an insidious way and it affects my gut instincts.

Moreover, most women of 45-50 would have elicited a shudder from me when I was 20, but now ......

Your tastes change and evolve.

So .... if I weren't married and got the chance for a quickie, would I? Probably, but a LOT would depend on what happened when she opened her mouth, and we started talking. As for her appeal in the long-term sense, well her looks certainly wouldn't put me off, but they are quite a long way down the list of things I'd be looking for in a partner.

[Zak33]

nope....that's being a real man

/passes him a Pink and Bag.

Confidence of your own masculinity is essential ....

I know I'm a man...I've got Man Flu.

[BEANFro Elite]

Well truth is, most men are up to their eyeballs with testosterone, I have no idea why, but being the youngest in a family with four manly men and five years in an all boys secondary school does something to you to see things in a truly alternative perspective.

I've watched them and learned without having to have it happen to me as it were

I generally prefer female company even though they're as bad as men, but its a different kind of nosense, something that I'm not really familiar with...with men its all about competition and being better than everyone else and football, things I don't really care about but am good at anyway.
