Eye Candy For Your Weekend: Hrithik Rashan

Ok, I do have a documented weakness for dark-haired, green-eyed men, but still...this is one good-looking man. Hrithik Rashan, South Asian Indian actor. V. loaned me a movie he's in called Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. I loved the clothing and dancing. Bollywood movies can be cheesy, but they are also fun.

Licking This Guy

Okay, I haven't licked him, but I'm pretty sure I would love it. I think it's the eyes. And the hair. He reminds me of a quotation I once read: "It's unfortunate that women find rash men so appealing, but they do, because deep down every woman knows a man who won't kill for her is useless." 

I have a habit of saying I want to lick people. And by "people" I mean "hot men." I don't mean it literally, it just means: "Mmmmm, tasty!" If I describe a guy as "I kinda wanted to lick him," i.e. my co-teacher and neighbor Andrew answering the door shirtless, I mean it as a compliment.

Wolverine

I saw a trailer today for Wolverine: Origins and literally I started feeling woozy and flush. (In other parlance: I swooned.) I had NO idea this movie was coming out, but evidentally it has passed the Chinese movie censors and will be playing locally. 

I'll never forget being dragged to the original X-Men movie with a group of friends, only to be blown away by the first sight of Wolverine in the cage fight, all sweat and snarl and sexy as hell. I think I went back five times. And someone gave me a Wolverine collectible trading card that I placed over the odometer on my car's dashboard; pretty sure my mechanic made fun of me behind my back every time I brought my car in. 

Seeing Wolverine on screen today reminded me of everything I love about my home culture: hot, strong men, rough and ready, not afraid to kick ass and take names. There ain't nothing harmonious about Wolverine! 

And he just looks realllly good in those jeans and leather jacket. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Wolverine is why I think men smoking a cigar is hot! 

Smell

I don't like unidentified smells. I often ask "What's that smell?" (and often get teased for it), but I don't think I underestimate the importance of smell. Have you ever smelled an old perfume, type of food, etc. and had a flood of memories come back? It's incredible. I bought a sealed package of chopsticks in Bangkok and opened them at home several months later. They smelled just like Bangkok, a very distinct smell, and the memories were instantaneous.

I have mentioned here before I love the smell of men's t-shirts, so it was interesting to read in a recent magazine blurb that the way men and women smell to each other can have as much to do with how they get along as looks and personality factors. If someone smells "off" to you, you are probably not going to be attracted to them, no matter how handsome, beautiful or likeable they are.

Have you ever been inexplicably attracted to someone you know is totally wrong for you, but just can't seem to shake it off? And, have you ever known someone who seems logically so right for you, but you just can't make yourself feel it? Chemistry: can't turn it on, can't turn it off. Both can be frustrating. But maybe it comes down to smell. And I kinda like knowing not everything about it me is operating on a conscious, logical plane. I still have some animal instincts at work. That's pretty cool.
