I also very much dislike belly rings and tattoos.

But I do like nice Mormon girls who occasionally swear. I took a raquetball class at BYU, and used to play with a cute girl. She was a very good player, and when she would miss, would often whisper "Damn" under her breath. Sometimes a little coarser as well. I almost fell in love with her.

I'm not sure what that says about me, but it's probably not good.

I like belly rings, but don't like tattoos. To each his own.

For the record I think a man is usually lying his ass off when he says he doesn't like a bigger rack. Be it natural or fake.

dang, a week into marriage? what the heck were you two up to?

Apparently Rocky has a strong grip.

I remember Elder Holland hinting about plastic surgery a couple of years ago. I just looked it up and found it was Oct. 2005. I've found it interesting that nobody really references this talk when the discussion comes up. Here's the quote:

In terms of preoccupation with self and a fixation on the physical, this is more than social insanity; it is spiritually destructive, and it accounts for much of the unhappiness women, including young women, face in the modern world. And if adults are preoccupied with appearance—tucking and nipping and implanting and remodeling everything that can be remodeled—those pressures and anxieties will certainly seep through to children. At some point the problem becomes what the Book of Mormon called "vain imaginations." And in secular society both vanity and imagination run wild. One would truly need a great and spacious makeup kit to compete with beauty as portrayed in media all around us. Yet at the end of the day there would still be those "in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers" as Lehi saw, because however much one tries in the world of glamour and fashion, it will never be glamorous enough.

Good work. It's not really a hint; he seems pretty clear to me.

It's a good point really. How can we expect our kids to not obsess over their looks if we are obsessing over our looks. I generally refrain from giving my opinion on this topic though. I think if men had a feature like breasts by which they were judged (oh wait, they do) AND it was out there all day every day for people to see and judge (there's the difference), then we'd be just as bad or worse (witness the number of male enhancement commercials out there). It's a tough call.

Bigger than what? What if they're already big?

someone's wife here on this board has the most famous rack of all the wives on the board. I won't say who.
