On BBC 3 (see link) http://www.kirstenobrien.com/ childrens TV presenter Kirsten O'Brien was rejected as a pole dancer by Peter Stringfellow and also for topless poses in lad's mags such as FHM.
I think Kirsten is one of the sexiest women on the planet-definitely in my list of top ten babes, and that she has been insulted, and men have been deprived of the right to leer over her naked beauty! Agree or disagree?
I don't know many women (I am not into intimacy) but it's amazing how sensitive they get when their looks are criticized, with some women their whole ego seems dependant on self-image. Kirsten was in tears over it when my assumption was that a woman that attractive would shrug it off.
When I was working in a bakery a guy who could be described as a bit of a "chav" was winding me up over my celibate nerd lifestyle and an Indian girl, who was not bad looking (though she could have done with a nose job) got in front of the oven and asked me out. I said that any relationships would distract me from my quest to build a time machine, but the "chav" said "what you mean is she is an ugly bitch" and the look on her face was as if he had punched her in the guts.
