    I'm beginning to think that Pluto and its "moons" are an object that somehow broke up into pieces.

    Damn shame we haven't sent a probe to get good pictures of it.

    I still maintain that instead of trying to define "planet" as some singular thing, we should adopt a classification system not dissimilar from Starfleet's. An earthlike world would be class M (or whatever), Ceres would be class D (or whatever), Jupiter would be class K (or whatever), Pluto would be . . . well, you get the idea.

    True, she does have kind of an underage Canadian Justin Bieber thing going for her, but...

    OK. Fuck it. I can't think of a way to wrap up that sentence that is as funny as whatever is going through your head.

    I don't mind a pixie cut or other short hair on women (although I prefer longer hair), but it's got to work for them, and if they're relatively flat-chested, it tends to make them look like boys. So friggin' sue me... :shrug:

    That's more of a bowl cut. She looks like Jim Carey.

    My wife prefers more androgynous women.

    Oddly enough I have developed a taste for them myself. :ramen:

    If you can't see how she looks like a boy in that picture then you're probably gay.

    If you can't see she's an attractive woman then you're probably blind. Frankly I find the idea some put forward that women with short hair look like boys, or that short hair on women is a "boy-cut" misogynistic.

    Gee, I guess I have a better fine-detail scanner than a lot of people.

    Short hair, long hair, fucking BALD, I can tell a woman.

    Shit if hair trips you up, you folks must be really scared shitless of being tricked by trannies.

    The hair has nothing to do with it really. "She" has a boyish face and body.

    Eyelashes, lips, teeth, skin texture/hue, hands, all girly.

    That's the obvious stuff even you can see, then there's the curve line of features, the're softer and smoother on a woman.
    I mean on everything.
    Fingertips, fingernails, cheeks, eyebrows, earlobes, everything.
    It's a math thing.

    Men are all jaggedy, even the "girly", ones.

    If I could sample scent, I could tell even more.

    Those of us who spend time with real women don't need to imagine something that isn't there. Is it even established that this is a picture of a woman? I'll grant the person is slightly effeminate, but plenty of young girly men could fool this group.

    They both have a pretty good take on the subject. But objectively, she has a boyish look, and it's not just the hair.

    She is closer to the middle of the male female 'looks' spectrum but still clearly female.

    I think she's cute as hell.
    Also, Pluto is a dwarf planet, nothing more. :bailey:

    I guess I figured that if someone as near-sighted as me can see her tits that anyone could. :garamet: Oh, let me guess, "real women" only have big tits, right? :dayton:
