Hairy nipples?
I get a lot of my blog ideas from listening to Y-100 in the mornings. This morning was the story of a girl who got dumped by her boyfriend because her hairy nipples were grossing him out and he couldn't take it anymore. That got me to thinking.. first off, do I have hairy nipples?! I've asked and no, I don't. Phew. That clears my mind of issue number one. Issue number two: how bad does it have to be for it to be gross or intolerable? Now, it doesn't stop at hairy nipples! What about guys with hairy backs? Hairy asses? What about those guys that are just COVERED in those thick, black, public-like hairs ALL OVER their bodies? The ones that are so thick that it lifts their wife-beater about an inch off their bodies, cuz there's so much padding. Weed-wacker, anyone?
Personally, I couldn't deal with hairiness. I can deal with some hair, but not weed-wacker bad. What about noses? Some people don't like large noses, but I may have an affinity for them. Not necessarily "large," but odd noses, whether it be large or just a funny shape. Most of the guys I've dated have had an odd nose. You know what they say about guys with large noses, though.. ;-)
Where is that line drawn? If the girl/guy is cute will you put up with a little hair? A large nose? What about a minor deformity? I once tried to date a guy with a deformed hand. He was absolutely ADORABLE, good body, beautiful eyes.. but, he had a messed up hand that was almost like a claw. I say I tried to date him because things didn't work out. I'd like to say it wasn't for the shallow reason you're thinking, but it was. All I could think about was him running that hand down my face or through my hair and it freaked me out. I'm horrible, I know.
HOWEVER, to redeem myself, a few years later I went to school with a boy who was hit by a drunk driver and paralyzed. He was also adorable and had an awesome personality. I would have TOTALLY dated him, but he didn't like me like that. Would I have been able to handle it, though? That's a lot to have to deal with on both ends.
All of this brings me back to a post I had a while ago about a guy that works in my building, Tom. Tom, if you recall, walks like he's drunk and can't drive because of it. Could you date someone like that? He's a good-looking guy and has a great personality. Is that enough?
Hairy nipples, warts on your ass, wheelchairs, large noses, I guess beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.
