You always hang in a ruffalo stance.

I always thought that "nonthreatening" was kind of code for "not sexual" bcuz lots of ppl are v v uncomfortable with the idea of 12, 13 y.o. girls having actual sexual desires. There's this real kind of paternalism behind it.
That might be the case if we were talking about Robert Pattinson, say. Mark Ruffalo is 44 years old and quite obviously a sex object.

I suppose Ruffalo is pretty down-to-earth/relatable-seeming, which I find attractive in girls. It may be that I find your suaver (more peacockish?) male actors more attractive because the(y're more entertaining and) better to fantasize about being, all the way back to at least Bogart/Grant (the latter with a sense of humor about it, which Clooney has borrowed in copious quantities).

Wouldn't it be great if just for once, when several ppl tell someone "this word or usage is problematic due to x..." if they actually just said "oops I didn't realise!" and tried to find a better word. Instead of spending loads of time detailing why, exactly, they didn't mean *problematic word* in a ~problematic~ way bcuz they, a dude, have redefined language or something.
But y'know, whatever.

I see. I'm a man, and Fotherington is a woman, and therefore Fotherington is the appropriate arbiter of the meaning of my words, never mind her willful ignorance/shifting of their actual and clearly-stated objects.

Yes physician heal thyself.
It's weird bcuz I can look at those pics Judith posted and think he actually looks quite handsome but that just doesn't translate to wanting to put him near my genitals. Desire is complicated. I think maybe he's too perfect looking, all those teeth and that immaculately mussed hair. Perhaps if he were more asymmetrical or ginger or had British teeth I'd fancy him more (at all)

Isn't it inconvenient that words have meanings and connotations and you don't get to decide what they are for people that have different experiences from you? How terrible. My condolences for your inconvenience.

i was ignoring you. my post has nothing to do with your post. just because you pasted them together. did you also think my previous jpeg of ruffalo was in response to your post just before it? why am i even arguing with you. im p sure all you are saying is "i am not especially attracted to mark ruffalo" which isn't really that much of an insight for you to be posting this much on a thread called "mark ruffalo is attractive"

Nice try, but the only person who posted in between your two posts was me, so there was no one for you to be agreeing with other than me or the post I quoted for purposes of agreement. You decided to disagree after my next post, which I guess inappropriately referred to the attractiveness of someone of the female persuasion.
― illegal crew member (C.K. Dexter Holland), Tuesday, 27 December 2011 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
i've said before that photographs are only a tiny part of the story with ruff which is why his attractiveness varies from role to role, because he is a v physical actor and it is often about how he moves. or rather how his movement often suggests a certain tactility, hes weirdly physically present in a lot of his movies.
There's a great moment in YCCOM when he and Laura L. are on the back porch and he absent-mindedly swats at a fly. I love it.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 December 2011 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
That's right. The way to prove you were using a problematic word in a ~totally non problematic ~ way is by... acting like a total problematic cock. Well done!
Can we have some more jpegs of attractive men, pls?

You may have a problem with it based on what you decided my meaning was, which in turn was based on your deciding that I was a different person referring to different people, but there is nothing "problematic" about any word I used.
― illegal crew member (C.K. Dexter Holland), Tuesday, 27 December 2011 17:17 (twelve years ago) link
Judith what this calls for is more pictures of The Ruffalo so you can help me make up my mind why he's handsome but not fancyable.
