I find it unbelievable that these women think that Platypus lips, large rear ends and enlarged false mammary glands are beautiful. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a family who's christian names all begin with a K were at the forefront of this craze.
There would be some guys who think they are the bees knees, but not this little black duck.
Doug, good to see that you are up and about. Seems a long time since I saw a post from you mate. Stay safe.
Graham another pertinent observation from you.

I will give you one more to add to that list Magnarc. The thing that really grates me is when they speak with the low pitched, creaking sort of vocal fry. Every sentence ends with a croaking gasping sound.
Perhaps the only thing that matches that is when they end each sentence with an upward inflection.
A prime example of the squeaky voice is the woman newsreader on the ABC. I liken it to a hacksaw going through a sheet of gal iron. Very off putting. I have also noticed that, when using foreign words they all miss pronounce them. How long would it take to research the correct way?
Sloppy, very sloppy. The "Sheep" syndrome is alive and well today. While I'm at it, what the hell is an Influencer??? Can we no longer think for ourselves?
Bah humbug!!!.. ......... Feeling extra grumpy today.
"I find it unbelievable that these women think that Platypus lips, large rear ends and enlarged false mammary glands are beautiful."
These garden variety creatures can be seen on such television shows as Marriage at First Sight.
Also vocabulary like "Like", Yeah", "You Know" get a fair workout.
I am with you on the lips, butt etc. There is no sight in this world better than a beautifully natural woman.
Preferably clad in a swim suit or mini skirt.
Also, "Influencers", really? Computers were never our curse, the internet is the culprit.
Those creatures now also inhabit that space somewhat.
I spotted one of those lippy monsters a while ago down the street and thought, "you have got to be kidding me, that's attractive?".
It resembles some sort of deformity or they have just gone ten rounds and lost.
Well said rmoor. I wonder if this is part of the great dumbing down of the viewer. I refer to the likes of Farmers who want wives, Kitchens that rule, Dancing???? with the "stars" and the latest offering Honeymoon Island which features two wannabees alone on an island with all the mod cons heaps of flesh and, of course, there would not be a show without the ubiquitous cameraman.
With all these 'shows" there are some basic rules that the script writers follow (yes, they are scripted). The first objective is to make sure that you draw tears from the female. In the case of the Farmer it"s the male who has to get wet eyes. In order to get the tears you need to have a falling out.
Right at the forefront of this rubbish has got to be Married at first Sight and the epic that started all this crap, Big Brother.
Dancing with the stars is a misnomer. Should be titled Aerobics with the Stars. There was a promo last night that showed a woman being dragged by her feet across the floor. What on earth has that got to do with dancing? The cast includes an ageing "comedian", an ex AFL footballer, a woman newsreader and a TV reporter. The latter three could hardly be described as "stars". An exception to this would be Rebecca Gibney.
Obviously there must be a fair slice of the viewing public who watch these shows, otherwise they would not put them on.
Ah well, there is always the off button, a Lee Childs novel and a 12yr old scotch. (Glen Moray, highly recommended!!!!)
