Julia Roberts Brings the Quote of the Day
August 8, 2010 in Celebrity Quotes, Julia Roberts by Versus
Julia Roberts brings us a brief and simple thought:
‘Men don’t care what a woman looks like naked. It’s more about, ‘There’s a naked woman here with me.’
… says Julia.
Do you guys agree with her?
More or less I agree. Most men never see the flaws women see in themselves.
I agree with Eve. They might comment if a woman is naked in a magazine, but in person they will just be pleased to have a naked woman there!
i agree mostly. I think if a guy finds a woman attractive enough to want to sleep with her, he’s not really going to be looking at her body and picking out little flaws. He’s mostly going to be like DAYUM. But you know not every man finds every woman’s body attractive so in that way it’s not true. But mostly, yeah!
I do not agree. Obviously the man already knows somewhat how a woman will look naked, it’s not like he can date someone without seeing her in figure-hugging clothes.
But some men will have ridiculously specific requirements, and others will care more about a nice smile.
There is no BORG men entity.
There’s always some weirods out there… she didn’t mean that all men are the same.
But in general she is right, most men are like that. They drool away at fake photoshopped naked pictures of models and pornstars while a average girl is nothing compared to them. BUT it’s the average girl he’s dating and he loves to see her naked even if she’s nothing like the fantasies and things he dreams of.
i agree with you to an extent…except for the part ‘while an average girl is nothing compared to them…’ there are a lot of celebs that i dont think are attractive and i know guys that dont. and i think they can be more picky with those images for some reason then they are with real girls. i think its just the way we are socialised to think that if ppl are in magazines then they are obviously more attractive. but i dont agree with that. i mean, sure they have to be attractive to an extent. but i dont really think that extent is anymore attractive than your average girl that looks after herself, dresses for her shape/desire, etc
No, it’s not a situation where most men like the same thing, and a couple of weirdos don’t. We’re all weirdos when it comes to what we like.
Of course they see all the flaws but the difference is that they don’t care that much as women do. Girls are constantly worried about cellulite, stretch marks or some other imperfections which are not big but, unfortunately, very hard to get rid of. Men obviously see these imperfections too but don’t pay that much attention to them and I guess they accept them very naturally, unlike us, women. We struggle a lot to make our bodies look better.
i dunno, i did have a friend ask me once what was cellulite, so i am guessing he didn’t notice. I think men see what they want to see. when they are attracted to someone they see only the good, if they aren’t interested they can be pretty good at finding the flaws!
but as a general rule women are much more critical than men. Its bizarre – i hear people tlaking about their perfect woman on this site and yet i am fairly sure they are straight woman, or rather i think girls.
lolol so true!!
I have to agree with Julia, most men (not all), don’t know much about women’s body and body types, when a woman is naked with them it’s all that count.
Heres a little something I was once told..
‘the rule of thumb’
Look at your thumb
what do you see? Just a thumb, right?
It might be a little short, or the nail might not be filed to perfection, but really, it’s just a thumb.
Now when you are naked in front of your boyfriend, just remember your thumb, and remember that he’s not seeing your short bits or big bits or little bits or whatever..
He is just thanking God that there is a naked woman stood in front of him now.
Very nice point. I LOLed a little.
I believe they do see flaws but don’t care as much as we do!
She’s right that men arent as critical as women.
But they still have standards! Its not like they will take ANY naked girl…. that would be a shame.
i agree. also. i think we are simplifying men a little to much. there are also some men who, no matter how hot the woman is, ife he is not into her then he wont want to sleep with her. yes, men are visual. BUT women can be too…also, it doesnt mean that if they see a hot woman they want to ‘do’ her. some will think that. but some just think ‘ooo she’s hot’. and thats it.
I agree, men aren’t as critical, but they’re not completely blind. I’m pretty sensitive about my stomach, it’s always been a tad squishy, so when my last ex made a light-hearted comment about it, I swallowed it and didn’t cry until I was alone. He forgot about that comment and it didn’t affect our sex lives, but it still was hard for ME. I’m already critical of myself so to hear someone say anything about it only reaffirms my discomfort at times. He didn’t mean anything bad about it, and I’m sure he didn’t know I would take it so personally, but we women do take those comments personally.
Yeah, she made it sound like they are mindless sex addicts, but thats not true, like I said, they are aware and still have standards.
I some what agree with this, women are WAY to critical of themselves and other women like “her hips are too big” and “she has kankes” but I’ve noticed that when women see men, they don’t look for every little imperfection! Some men have a 6 pack, some a 4 pack, some men have long legs, some have a long torso but women don’t only date guys who look a certain way, if you’re attracted to them, you’re attracted to them and I think men are very similar to us, were just too insecure to know it!
so true.
because women are catty. its pathetic how they’re always trying to drag each other down
I think they do see what a woman looks like, see her flaws, but if she is naked in front of them, I think the expectation of sex makes them not care. Arousal is powerful.
It takes a very specific type of man to start pointing out flaws when he has a naked woman in front of him…the kind that usually have their own self-esteem issues.
i agree Casey, I think a full blooded heterosexual male (well the “man’s men” at least) will not focus on flaws when they are about to get the some. lol. and when a guy loves a girl, men, they do think she is perfection even when they SEE the cellulites and the stretch marks. Of course they would also oogle at the models in huslter or playboy. why shouldn’t they? lol
I don’t know. I took this course psychology applies to modern life, and it sid that men value a women’s body much more than facial attractiveness. That seems to contradict Julia’s point. I feel Julia is not an expert because she’s one of the most beautiful women in america. I bet men would tell her anything (they can be so full of shit), and she still looks good naked after giving birth.
I agree with Julia. If a guys likes you enough with your clothes on, it won’t matter what you look like with them off.
What I hate is what they tell their peeps afterwards…
I think she’s right to an extent. There are definitely men out there who have a lot of money or good looks, allowing them to be picky and only date perfect women. But, the average guy has a hard time getting laid, so most guys aren’t going to nit-pick over little details like stretch marks, especially in the heat of the moment.
I think for most people, male or female, once we decide we want to sleep with someone our brain has already subconsciously taken into account the possibility of cellulite/acne/wrinkles/stretch marks and decided that the possibility of those flaws is not enough to be a turn-off.
Basically — if you like what a person looks like with clothes on enough to want to get them naked, than you’re going to like what they look like naked (unless they’re hiding some major surprises under there).
Once I had a huge rash all over my body (allergic reaction to penicillin) so I definitely scared the crap out of my boyfriend when I took my clothes off. I also have friends that suffer from body acne who don’t like their men to see them naked. It’s not all about weight and cellulite, a lot of people suffer from skin conditions that are REALLY noticeable and would turn a guy off.
I think she was talking about things that the average woman worries about, like cellulite, a few extra pounds, love handles, maybe saggy boobs. Penicillin rash and body acne are relatively rare and may be more shocking and therefore bigger turn offs. Then again, my friend got laid all the time and her back was covered in acne.
But, my point is, I think what she is talking about is limited to more normal problems. Clearly, if you have a foot growing out of your chest, the guy is not going to be as forgiving as if you have a little cellulite or stretch marks on your tummy.
llololololol at foot growing out of chest. hehe WIN
ha ha ha ahhh that made me crack up big time Casey
This is true, for the most part. They might see flaws, but they’ll never care as much as you do about them. I definitely don’t look for imperfections on guys… especially if it’s someone you really like/love, it’s the last thing on your mind.
I totally agree men aren’t looking for flaws when a naked woman is before them but men have a general idea of what your body will look before the clothes come off
I’m 5’8, US12 so no man is going to expect a VS angels body when my clothes come off – If they do, they are seriously deluded!
work out, eat well, love urself, side effects are; less cellulites, better body, more lust (for everything) and ur gon have a beaming smile…but heres the thing, u do it for urself, not because of what a guys gon think wen ur naked
lol, that’s so funny… and true
ah ah!! As a man, I can totally say that for a lot of men, it is true!! As long as the girl is pretty, of course! But you know, girls, men are less critical than you with yourself!! They don’t really care about a little cellulite or a little tummy, or some stretch marks (what are those, anyway???)…. Really, girls, get over it. Men love you. Period. Men love women. And they prefer them naked. lol
julia’s absolutely right. and so is daniel (above).
men love real, naked women. period.
Well, duh. As a woman, I’ve noticed that men are much more forgiving of my flaws than I am. As someone else already pointed out, if a guy is into you with clothes on, chances are he’s into you with clothes off (if not more so, haha).
And besides, men have their own imperfections as well. I think it would be hypocritical on their part if we stripped down and we ignored an extra hairy chest while they got turned off by a little cellulite on the thighs
