Wow, has thread grown and taken some mighty twisty turns! I guess that threads have a mind of their own, huh? :-)

CarolC: I think your butt is just BEAUTI-OUS! And I bet the gal behind the butt is fantastic as well.

Treewind: I love that exercise. Will try it!

Jed: You bring up an interesting point. Why do we keep what we really appreciate to ourselves? I can't think of any woman that I know that wouldn't want to hear a man, a stranger even, show (by way of telling) that her jiggles were just fine with them. Obviously, I am not talking about the creepy guys who do this on a daily basis...but some regular guy coming over and saying, "Hey,I'm not a weirdo or a prevert, I don't want to get in yer pants,I don't want your number or your email, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I just thought you should know that you are fantastic looking! Have a great day!" (smile smile). I know that has been done to me, and I have done it to others and it is just...cool feeling. Most of us are told we look good by our spouse's, boy/girlfriends, people who KNOW us. Most of us don't get objectivity anymore. Maybe that is why those silly girls go on Howard Stern and ask to be judged? Anyway, point is, maybe we should all lighten up a bit, take a deep breath and just say it like it is?

gnu: 'This thread has grown so as to make an answer to the original question almost impossible without restating it'

True. True.

But the Anna thing...really? Your guys friends don't think she is sexy? My guys friends have convulsions at the mere mention of her name! Weird.

Beauty is much more elusive than all those things, Hesperis. And I agree wholeheartedly.

But what about jiggles? Right off the bat, not talking to, or really knowing a person, what about jiggles? How do you react to them - before the talking and the knowing comes into play, and more importantly, why do you think you react the way you do?
