Before I jump on ya, Neil, maybe you just have a fucked-up definition of "vain".
I think by vain, people usually mean that a vain person thinks they're god's 
gift to good-looking (in this context) and that you'd be blind not to want to 
jump them.  Anyway, that being my opinion, then how can you call a woman who 
wears a lot of make-up necessarily vain? Maybe it's that she's overly 
insecure or thinks she's particularly *un*attractive and therefore NEEDS 
make-up. 

I know a lot of you want to avoid the old "women shouldn't wear make-up" thread
and frankly, so do I, but I'd rather try to explain why some of us DO wear a 
lot (in my case just a little) of make-up, push-up bras, perfume, hair dye,
etc., etc., etc...   Now, in my opinion, if this were a perfect world, 
women wouldn't NEED to do this to get the man they want.

Now, don't get me wrong, I know some of you wouldn't WANT the type of man that
expects you to look Cosmo-perfect just for him to date you, and ideally I'd
rather avoid them myself.  BUT, I've found that most of the time, to get the
attention of the kind of man I want, I need something to make me look more 
atractive.  I'll admit it, contrary to popular belief, I'm not PERFECT 
and my skin often can use a little overall smoothing of color and my hair
gets LOTS more compliments when it's as red as possible, so yeah, I do go to
certain lengths for my appearance.  But the only reason I do is that it seems
to be what *works*.  I get more attention (therefore DATES and *SEX*) when 
I'm dressed up, have on sexy attire, perfume, and some extra red tint to my
hair.  So, maybe it's guys that are fucked up here, if they're the ones that 
*respond* to this behavior I'm exhibiting.  Do any of you guys think women put
on make-up and high heels and noxious-smeling chemicals on our hair because
it's enjoyable or pleasant? HA! Nope, it's because your buddies out there seem
to appreciate the effort.

>
>Most women don't need it, and IMHO many look an awful lot better
>without it.

I'm so happy you think so, but at least where I live (not where it says above
either, and I won't say as to avoid biasing my previous post) most guys don't
feel the same way, they want a woman who LOOKS GOOD, and I frankly want a guy
who looks damn good himself, so to find each other maybe we need that little
extra help...after that, if he can tolerate the way I look dripping wet after
a shower, then we're meant for each other.

No, what happens here is that someone posts something and some people
agree and a some people disagree.  This is what goes on in any newsgroup.
It may be suprising, but everyone on Usenet doesn't share one hive mind,
we don't all agree with each other and we don't all get along.

What's wierd is that although you can't change these deep-seated
preferences deliberately, they can change of their own accord.  From
puberty onward the primary physical characteristic that made a woman
attractive to me was large-breastedness (? bosomosity?)...but then, at
some point, that ceased to be the case.  I didn't notice the
transformation taking place, just realized one day that it had.  And I'm
not exaggerating when I say that it's as difficult for me to imagine
obsessing over breasts now as it was for me to imagine being indifferent
to them before.

I'm still crazy about brunettes though.  Some things never change. :-)

... followed by the companion line:

I think the root of all this is "it depends".  Societies have to
make moral decisions about this, and pass laws based on the morals.
Some of the best laws try to anticipate the problems you get by
letting someone do things too early.  Some just want to define a
certain aspect of "coming of age" with a nice, round number.  Either
way, an age has to be set if you're going to have a bureaucracy that
has a certain need for rules that their hired idiots can follow, so
the criterion isn't solely a competency issue.  I guess if we all
lived within a trusted tribe like man seems to be wired for, you'd
base it all mostly on competency, because you'd know every child,
and you'd be able to know their capabilities.  But I think even the
simplest societies count the seasons since a child's birth before
letting them take part in the rites of passage.

As to the original question, I doubt I'd shag someone under 25,
never mind 14.  I don't know that anyone has really seen enough
of life to be intimately enjoyable before then, though I admit
that's not entirely fair.  But that doesn't mean the idea would
not cross my mind.

It has been brought to my attention that there is some
interest in my apperance, so allow me a minor self discription.

Imagine a man of moderate stature, and middling age,
one who has survived the ravages of pestilence, plauge,
and international strife. Who at times has been obliged
to totter about walking stick in hand so as to not make a
complete fool of himself by curling up in a ball and
settling gracelessly upon the floor. The schoemachermeister
told me, after I came across the border that time in germany,
it would be the last time he would was good boot leather on me.

I am, an ordinary man....
