Since everyone knows (or do they?) that I am mostly posting on these boards to try and find miss right, I thought I'd share with you some of the (fictional) women that I have always thought were attractive, and why I thought so, to give some kind of an idea of what types of women I've liked. It was hard to choose which ones to post about, since there are so many I've liked over the years, but this modest list *should* suffice.
So... without any further ado, here we go...

10 Beautiful Women From T.V. and Movies...
(In no particular order)

1. Deanna Troi (Played by Marina Sirtis)
- Star Trek: The Next Generation
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Deanna Troi is a warm and compassionate woman, as well as a beautiful one. Her soul is very deep and there is a hint of spirituality to her too. Both compassion and spirituality are virtues, so she is very virtuous, and has a calming effect on people. Unlike so many women on T.V. shows, her character had a great deal of depth to her, and I found her empathy towards others refreshing. All in all, a very nice lady, and charming company! ;)
Physically-speaking -
Physically, Deanna Troi was portrayed as being a lovely, exotic woman with long, dark curly hair and a nice figure. Marina Sirtis wasn't skinny like a lot of women are in Hollywood these days, and I really liked that she had some curves. Her eyes were big, dark, and full of real, genuine love and caring. The kind of eyes that you could
drown in, which to me is a good reflection of the deep soul of this fine character's nature.

2. Number Six (Played by Tricia Helfer)
- Battlestar Galactica (The Reimagined Series)
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
For a cylon, Six is not typical. She is actually exceptional. She has a deep spirituality, but at the same time she is sensual and life-affirming, as opposed to being all faith and no play. I like that she is a bit crazy-sexy, that she'll just spontaneously give you a big, passionate kiss. I've always been unlucky enough to date some cold women, so to a lady like Six would be a dream come true. She has a lot of positive qualities.
Physically-speaking -
She looks like an angel, truly. Light blonde hair, bright and sparkling eyes. She only is missing wings, honestly! She also is not too skinny, which is refreshing since her character is in a modern show. Her choice of the color red for many of her outfits flatters her well, and she never overdoes the makeup... so she looks just right. In the show, the've shown her at her best and worst. So she is very much "human".

3. Mina Murry (Played by Winona Ryder)
- Brahm Stoker's Dracula
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Mina puts love first and marriage second, which I too believe in. She is searching for her one true love, and in the end she risks all to be with her dark prince and to help him achieve the peace he so longs for. She is not like most of the women in vampire movies. She is never once the victim! Rather, when she becomes a vampire it is by her choice as much as by Dracula's seduction. She has darkness and light to her, just as I myself do. ;)
Physically-speaking -
Her dark hair and nice figure suit well a lady of the Victorian era. She has so much love in her eyes in many scenes! I always loved all of Winona Ryder's performances, but Mina was her greatest role in my opinion. She looked truly elegant, and spoke with a *great* deal of class, but never at the expense of being herself. I liked that a lot! She is at all times both cute and sexy, which is a hard balance to portray perfect in such a film.

4. Gabrielle (Played by Renée O'Connor)
- Xena: Warrior Princess
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
She is loyal, adorable, and has a fantastic sense of humor. She likes to smile a lot, and shows her feelings well. She is never deceptive, but honest and kind-hearted. Gabrielle was a character who was strong, but at the same time feminine and so very spiritual, too. Like me, she went through a lot of religious phases in her life before lastly finding the path that was meant for her. I *can* understand that! She was so witty too! A big plus.
Physically-speaking -
She was one cute warrior-girl! She had blonde hair, bright eyes, and a very nice body. She had better fashion sense than Xena, too. I don't like leather, I much prefer lace... if you know what I mean. Gabrielle was one the most truly feminine characters on Xena, and never at the expense of being a very capable woman. She was soft, but in all the right ways. The kind of woman, I'd want at my side back in ancient times... and even in this time period, too. ;) Gabby, you are lovely!

5. Princess Leia (Played by Carrie Fisher)
- Star Wars (The Original Trilogy)
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Princess Leia did not so much appeal to me when I was younger, but as an adult, I just love her style! She isn't as cold and aloof as her mother, Amidala. She seems like the kind of woman who would be lot of fun to be with. She even says "I love you!" first, which a lot of women won't do in a relationship. Leia was oft even the one to rescue Luke and Han when they were in many jams! She was brave, and kind. My kind of princess! :D
Physically-speaking -
Leia always looked like a true princess, wearing beautiful and feminine clothing, but she could be very casual, too. She had beautiful brown hair, a cheerful smile, and sparkling eyes. Her two most beautiful outfits were when we first meet her in Star Wars, and when she is on Bespin in Empire Strikes Back. White and Red are colors that suit her so well, and flatter well her natural beauty, which always shows through. A very lovely woman.

6. Claudia (Played by Kirstin Dunst)
- Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire
What I find attractive about her:
Disclaimer -
First off, no I am *not* a pervert! Forget that Claudia was played by a child actress for just a moment, and realize she was portraying a child vampire with an *adult's* soul. So, in vampire-terms Claudia *was* an adult. So, that was how I saw her character. Besides: I keep thinkining of how Kirstin Dunst would look as Claudia now that she is an adult. God, that mental picture is what I call beautiful! So, on that fair note, let us proceed with evaluating what it is I see in her. Personality-wise -
Forget the times when she got angry or went a bit crazy. Everyone has odd times like those in life sometimes. What I loved about Claudia's character was her warmth, and her strong love for Louie. She really brought a lot of light and warmth into his gloomy existence, and her death in the movie was truly tragic. It was easy to fall in love with her character, like Louie did. Claudia was mature, deep, passionate, and very loving indeed.
Physically-speaking -
Now, never mind that she was a child at the time! Kirstin Dunst, as Claudia, was a radiant "woman". Her golden, curly hair would look perfect on her today... now that she is all grown up! And though she dressed "like a doll", as she herself said in one scene in the movie, her eyes showed maturity, understanding and a lot of depth. I got the sense Claudia was a hopeless romantic, and I loved that aspect of her so much! A romantic soul *is* rare.
Besides... picture the now grown-up and gorgeous Kirstin Dunst dessed like a doll, and tell me it isn't just a bit sexy in a slightly weird way! ;)

7. Galadriel (Played by Cate Blanchett)
- Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Galadriel was, to me, far more easy to understand than Arwen's cold and "vulcan-like" performance. Galadriel showed she had a light side and a dark side. She was kind, caring, compassionate, and even wise. But she could be tempted by the dark side, and that made her more human than *most* elves are portrayed as being. If I had to have her or Arwen fall in love with me, I would want Galadriel to be the one. Truly. More of my type.
Physically-speaking -
What a goddess! Long, flowing, golden hair... and eyes all sparkling with light. She wore beautiful and diaphanous gowns, and had a slender but not skinny build that did indeed convince me she was an elven queen of the most noble blood. I cried when she went over the sea at the end. I felt a light was going out in the world, and it was the poorer for her passing. She moved my heart, far more than Arwen could, in a very moving movie.

8. Lady Jessica Atreides (Played by Saskia Reeves) - Sci-Fi Channel's Dune Miniseries
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Lady Jesseica was loving, caring and very truly devoted to her beloved Duke Leto. They had never married, but reamained together their whole lives until Leto's death, and even after his death she remained faithful to him, even still. That *is* the kind of love I am looking for, in a nutshell, and it defines, for me, what a good woman truly is. :) On top of all that, she was spiritual, brave, feminine and intelligent. She had it all.
Physically-speaking -
What a classy, beautiful woman! I was reminded of the grand performances of the hollywood greats of days gone by. She had lovely eyes, and short hair worn in a very feminine style that I don't see too often when women have short hair. She dressed very conservatively, but it was her beauty that captivated me. Of all the actresses ever to play Lady Jessica over the years, Saksia Reeves was the best! She did fit the part absolutely perfect.

9. Marion Ravenwood (Played by Karen Allen)
- The Indiana Jones Movies
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Marion was the only one of the "Indiana Jones Ladies" who didn't either annoy me or come off as being nasty. She had class, and was really smart when compared to Willie Scott, who was a complete airhead. She also knew how to dress, and in most respects was more like a real woman than a movie character. She had that "down-to-earth" quality that made her very much the "girl next door"; I liked that idea, especially in an action movie.
Physically-speaking -
This dame is a knockout, as they said back in those days! Dark hair, a pretty face, and a warm smile. She was slender, but she had curves in all the right places. And I believe I already have mentioned that she knew how to dress; casual, mostly, but she showed she could fancy things up for the right occasions. She reminded me of how a real-life princess Leia might be. And, like Leia, she is a *very* attractive woman, in all honesty!

10. Danielle de Barbarac (Played by Drew Barrymore) - Ever After
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
She loves life, she takes a great joy just from living, she is very romantic, and she is not only caring and compassionate but also had a funloving side that makes me smile when I think about this movie. She was the best Cinderella ever, and I would love to have been her prince charming. Not your sterotypical fairy tale princess... here, I could see a real woman with a very big heart and deep soul, unlike all the other Cinderella movies.
Physically-speaking -
Drew Barrymore is beautiful as it is, but in this role she was at her *most* lovely. I have NEVER seen her in any part to equal this one! Her hair, her eyes, her gorgeous gowns. Just thinking about it makes me want to kiss her. She was just that good of a Cinderella! She didn't have a whole lot of makeup, and she had that innocent look that is also sexy, if you know what I mean. All in all, fantastic and sweet too. Truly, very fairy tale!

5 Beautiful Women from Comic Books...
(In no particular order)

1. Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld
- By DC Comics in her own self-titled series
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Amy, which was her name in the comics, was no She-Ra! She always did the right thing, but she often showed she could sometimes make mistakes and even mess things up big time. It was the human way she resolved even her mistakes, that made me fall in love with her as a character. She had a romantic side to her too, and that set her apart from many characters of this sort. It is said DC cancelled her comic, but they *did* have to end the story.
Physically-speaking -
Amy had blonde hair, unusual lavender eyes, and wore purple attire, hence why they called her Amethyst. She had a nice build always more just enough jewelry to accentuate her look, but she didn't really care about the jewelry all that much. Which also said a lot about her character, which was the kind of woman who did not have her hand out all the time, but would accept a nice gift when offered one. A normal, typical, lady.

2. Katherine "Kitty" Pryde
- From Marvel Comics' X-Men series
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Kitty is just plain cute. There is no other word that describes this bubbly, adorable woman. I feel like I grew up with her, in a way. When she was in her teens, in the comics, I too was in my teens. When she grew up, I was grown up. She is not just a cute and pretty face, though. She can be counted on by her friends, and she had a funny sense of humor that always made me laugh when I read X-Men. A remarkable girl, and a fine woman!
Physically-speaking -
Long brown, curly hair and big brown eyes... kissable lips, and a nice figure... all of that made it easy to fall in love with Kitty Pryde. Unlike the cold, imperious Jean Grey, or the often aloof Storm, or Rogue who was just totally untouchable, Kitty Pryde was the very most normal of all the X-Women. She often dressed in pretty, feminine clothes when not done up in her many costumes, and was always very real-world to me. I still like her, a lot. ;) Perhaps I'm immature?

3. Kara Zor-El
- From D.C. Comics' Supergirl series
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
Unlike in the movie, where she was portrayed a being a bit dumb and silly, Kara in the comics was smart, witty, kind, and not at all like a big girl scout, unlike her way too serious cousin, Superman. She was a thousand times more beautiful than Wonder Woman, and million times nicer, too. When she died in the Crisis on Infinite Earths series, I cried. That issue was just that sad. DC lost a bright and shining star, in Kara Zor-El.
Physically-speaking -
Kara had long curly blonde hair, blue eyes, and when not in costume always looked lovely even in regular clothes. She had a pretty face that wasn't drawn (back then anyway) as being in any way unrealistically beautiful. And her build was slender, but never too skinny, nor too muscular. She was just right, as far as super-heroines go, and I've not seen many characters in D.C. comics that could say the same, in my honest opinion.

4. Death - From D.C. / Vertigo Comics' Sandman and Death series
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
She's quirky, she can be cute, she is even very understanding, caring, compassionate and a little tiny bit wise too. When my time comes, I hope she is good to me. Lol. ;) In all my years of reading comics, I've never seen Death portrayed with so much life! She is the kind of girl as you might see walking down the street, the kind of person you'd want to be your dearest friend. She is a good listener, and gives fairly good advice too.
Physically-speaking -
While I myself don't go in for the goth look, she is absolutely beautiful with it. If ever the goth look could complement someone's natural beauty, it does with her. Dark, curly hair that even when frizzy looks sexy. Big, dark eyes that captivate a person. And she always wears the cutest goth outfits, along with her trademark Ankh pendant and her umbrella, just in case it rains. After all, she has to look her best to meet people!

5. Karnilla
- From Marvel Comics' Thor series
What I find attractive about her:
Personality-wise -
As the queen of the Norns, Karnilla is regal and proud, but if she does love you, like she loved Balder, then she shows you another side of her personality: a warm, sensitive and passionate woman with a burning desire to be loved both by her people and by her man. She will do anything for someone she loves. It was truly sad in the old Balder miniseries, when she cried so hard upon losing both Balder and her great kingdom.
Physically-speaking -
She had long, wavy black hair, dark eyes, and a curvy figure that was the nicest I've ever seen in a comic-book character. Her face was pleasant, with just a bit of an exotic look to her that made her truly hot! I loved the way her outfits looked on her, always accentuating her splendid body without revealing anything at all. In the comics she was a living goddess... and honestly it was a *very* appropriate title to grant her.

If you've noticed, all of these fictional women have some things in common. And it is the common factors that are what I look for in finding the perfect woman for me. It is sad that today it is so hard to meet good people. I blame the average, typical "guys" that look only at the surface of a woman, but never at her soul. I look deeper, and it is sad I've never been given a real chance at true love because a lot of women, I won't say all because they wouldn't be fair, have become very disillusioned that a good man can truly exist. I am a good man and I hope I can find a good woman. It is, in all truth, my greatest hope and what keeps me going every day. Farewell for now all! :)

wow, what a post

so tell us how you really feel

Mary Ann

I'm going to need more info!!

uh, all righty then.

It all seems a little bit unrealistic to me.. maybe I just lost your point because I became confused/enmeshed in the minutia of this extensive posting...

*shrugs and wanders onto the next interesting topic*

I am diagnosing you with TMI Syndrome.

Seriously.

Cool...I can now claim it is a syndrome...???????

How unfortunate that the women of this planet are real...and flawed.

You must be very bummed.

I love the Interview with a vampire one. It was a good movie. :P I liked her better in Jumanji though,

Well, how I feel in life is *very* lonely. Since I live in a very small town, perhaps smaller than Smallville, I daresay, it is hard to meet people.
Doubly so, since the town if full of old people, married people, and kids. *Very* frustrating!

Since my marriage ended years and years ago, I've not met even a single woman who I could say was better than my ex. It isn't that my ex was good, she was horrible. It's that I have a hard time meeting good women at all. Lol. They either are out to use me, or (like my ex) abuse me. What I'm after is compassion, understanding, passion, and romantic love. And that is what I have to offer as well. You'd be surprised how dead romance is to people these days. I'm something of a thing of the past, a true anachronism. In this life, I am definitely a bit out of place in that I have all this love, and all this deep spirituality, that most men don't have. As spiritual as most guys get today, is wearing a cross to the superbowl.

Me, I don't wear crosses (they are bad luck for me), but I have a lot of faith. And I hate sports!
Ironic, since in school I used to play a lot of basketball, baseball, and field hockey. I just never saw the point to them, is all. I won't kid you. I, like all men and all women, have a light side and a dark side. But I believe in always doing the right thing no matter what, being very faithful to the one I love, and giving 100% of my feelings in a relationship. I'm not perfect, no one is, but I am more so than many these days, and that in and of itself speaks volumes about me.

If someone said to me: choose Superman or Batman, to describe yourself, I'd have to go with Batman. Superman never makes mistakes, whereas Batman is fallible, like we all are. Love is more important than marriage to me, and doing right is far more important that following the letter of the law, which is sometimes wrong. That is me at a glance.
You'll never see me drunk, I don't drink, and you will never see me high, I've never done drugs. And you'll never see me sleeping my life away in an easy chair, becuse I believe in being active all the time, as much as possible. You'll never see me cheat, since I believe in being faithful, and you'll never see me looking like a slob sine I try to always look my very best. I don't have a picture of myself to show you, because all of my recent pictures were in the backyard shard for storage, and got destroyed along with my only camera when we had a storm this past summer. But if you're curious, I look like a combination of Gary Oldman from Brahm Stoker's Dracula, Gaius Balter from the new Battlestar Galactica, and Jesus. Lol. I'm slender and muscular where I need to be. I owe it all to a lot of walking over the years, since I was always too nervous to pass my driving tests. (Just the thought of accidentally hitting someone! Yeesh!) I have long dark reddish brown hair, a bead, blue eyes, I typically wear loose, comfortable clothing. I'm not a jeans and teashirt kind of guy. I've got a bit more class, but neither will you see me in a suit. I'm very casual, and I have a lighter, softer voice than a lot of guys do. I hope this helps, to picture me.
If you think I sound handsome, so be it, but I'm too humble to call myself that. I think I'm just average. Not from low self esteem, but from being humble by nature. Perhaps I'm too much like Jesus?

If you've noticed from my post, all of those I've mentioned are women who are indeed quite flawed, despite not being real. I too have flaws, and I unlike many men understand that side of human nature all too well. Perhaps I do have a lot to say in my posts, but that is because I have a very lively personality, and I like to talk a lot to make up having been introverted as a teenager because of abuse I suffered in Catholic School as a child. No one is perfect, nor has anyone led a perfect life. This post isn't about perfection, or anyone's ideal of it. It is about what a man sees when he looks at a woman. I try to see the soul first and foremost. Most guys tend to only look chest-level. The world is poorer for that.

I could say even more in my favor, but only to the right woman. Never reveal too much, I say, as it can spoil the mystery! - Farewell again. ;)

If you think I sound handsome, so be it, but I'm too humble to call myself that. I think I'm just average. Not from low self esteem, but from being humble by nature. Perhaps I'm too much like Jesus?




Yes, that is just how the nuns taught me....

Reality bites, huh??? I know no real human male could possibly meet the expectations of my fantasies. But, I can't hold and love a fantasy, and evidently, can't hold and love a real human male, either!!! C'est la vie, n'est pas???

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

Yes, you are wicked mysterious.

Actually, I despise nuns for being abusive, I can't stand priests for being phoney, and my religious beliefs are only partly of Christian traditions. I have my own ideas about things. ;)

Perhaps I have put the wrong message across...
I'm not looking for fantasies in life! I am just looking for compassion and decency. Perhaps it is true, and this planet has become void of humanity.
My comparison to Jesus was a joke. If you do not appreciate someone's sense of humor there are far better ways than lowering yourself by mockery.
Notice the difference in me and most guys: I did not make a list of women who I thought would be "good in the sack" like most shallow men do! I went by the soul, as I saw it. I do the same with people I meet in real life. I give everyone a chance, but here I seem to have wasted my time.
If I'm "bummed" it is from being hurt, abused, and treated like dirt. My expectations are only that I hope to meet someone who is caring and good. If such an expectation is too high, perhaps human beings have set their ambitions too low in this modern age of "press a button and it's all there". People aren't buttons, and if you press too hard they can get hurt. Remember that for if anyone else comes on here in the future and tries to do the right thing. I was told: "Tell us how you really feel." How can any man do that in this day and age, where a person's soul is not valued any longer. Decency, more than anything, is what people are lacking in this day and age. So much coldness, and so little attempt to understand. Women often ask men what their fantasies are... the better to learn more of the man's soul. But when a man is honest, he is mocked. Yet, when a woman speaks her mind, I am always supposed to understand? Treat others the way you want to be treated, I say. You don't have to think of me at all, nor have I ever said anyone has to agree with a word I've typed. After today, I'm done trying to reach out on this website. I can see I'm really not wanted here, and I'll move on. I have a career, a future, and destiney elsewhere.

This is no better than trying to find love in the AOL message boards... where everyone makes fun of everyone as if it *was* some kind of a greeting.

Farwell, and fuggeddabouditt! That too was a joke.

Ummmm. Some advice. Anything over a paragraph.....


NOBODY is going to read it.

If you do not appreciate someone's sense of humor there are far better ways than lowering yourself by mockery.


Please expound.......

I am getting tired of resorting to mockery, as well.

I welcome new expressions of my dissatisfaction with your humor...or anyone else for that matter..
