Gentlemen: do you find ladies more attractive when they are nonsmokers?

[Phillycat]

As a recent nonsmoker, I'm just trying to gauge whether I'll get more attention from the menfolk. Heh. (not that I need it, I'm just greedy!)

My first pic as a nonsmoker (my apartment was a wreck!):

[JVS]

1. If she smokes she pokes

is a proverb from family guy

[Phillycat]

2. Heh.

If there's grass on the field, play ball?

Wait, that's something else...

[JVS]

4. Hey hey!

Sounds like we've been hearing the same proverbs

[Phillycat]

5. We're going to get this thread locked.

Hush now.

[TheBaldyMan]

3. You will be more attractive to anti-smoking nazis

This could be a mixed blessing.

btw Though my courting days are over I think you are really cute and attract guys anyway, smoking and non-snoking.

[Phillycat]

6. Hee!

I'm 34, though, so I think probably most people my age don't smoke.

And thanks for the compliments. :)

[Pierre.Suave]

7. Smokers

are not attractive, I hate the smell, and everything else included that comes with smoking.

Congratulations on your decision to quit, I hope you can keep it up.

[Phillycat]

11. Weirdly, I hated the smell too, even as a smoker.

And I'm growing to truly loathe it now. I need to have all my coats dry-cleaned! And my hair and breath smells really nice. :D

[JVS]

8. My official serious answer: I don't care one way or the other

[texas1928]

9. Yep but women with pink chairs...

EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW



:P

























:hide:

[Phillycat]

12. My entire bedroom is pink!

It's like Barbie's Dreamhouse in there. :D

[texas1928]

14. I am glad my wife does not like pink.

It is an ok color, just not for me.

[Phillycat]

17. The SO rolls his eyes.

He doesn't really care, thank goodness. :D

[ileus]

10. In all my years of dating I never considered a smoker.

I was raised around it and couldn't even imagine dating someone who was a smoker. Hell I don't even have any friends that smoke.

[Phillycat]

13. Interesting.

If I ever ditch the SO, I may find a whole new pool of men to draw from. :D

[NewJeffCT]

15. It's always been a big turnoff for me

The smell most of all. If I went into a bar where smoking was allowed right now, my eyes would start tearing from the smoke irritation. And, then the smell clings to your clothes for hours afterwards.

If Jessica Alba & Halle Berry came up to me and asked me for a threesome as long as they both could smoke, I would turn them down.

[Phillycat]

18. Wow!

Man, *I* would take that action, and I'm a straight girl! :D

Seriously though, I'm very glad Philly is nonsmoking in restaurants and bars. It will really help me!

[NewJeffCT]

22. well...

Maybe they'd have to twist my arm a bit to get me in the sack...

OK, probably not too much arm twisting.

[Phillycat]

23. Probably not...

:evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

26. OK, you're on the list -

Of people I'll have to consider for a heart in next February's fundraiser.

[regularguy]

16. Gentlemen prefer women who chew!

Seriously, I don't think I'd mind one way or another. My wife's a non smoker. OTOH I have some memories of some smokers who were, y'know, *smokers*!

[Phillycat]

19. Hee!

Are you a smoker, and does it bother your wife?

[regularguy]

20. Nah, I've smoked here and there in the past, but

it never really took. My wife would probably not like it. She doesn't mind if indulge in a bit of the Ganj now and again, and sometimes joins in. Yay. Congrats to you!

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. W00t!

Smoking thread! :bounce:



:popcorn:

[Phillycat]

24. Heh.

Not that kind! Take your popcorn elsewhere! :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. I know you didn't intend it as one

But some people take every opportunity they find. :eyes:

[Phillycat]

27. That's true.

But then, people have very small lives sometimes. :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. I almost forgot

Good on ya for quittin'. :bounce:

[Phillycat]

34. Thanks.

:D

[HEyHEY]

28. I'd say yes... HOWEVER

One thing I like about a woman who smokes is it adds a bit of a badass element to her.

[Phillycat]

32. I have tattoos all over me.

Does that cover the badass quotient? :D

[HEyHEY]

41. As long as they aren't fluffy and flowery

[Phillycat]

45. Nope.

I have one of these on the inside of both arms:



Plus a bonsai tree on my upper arm, an Aztec design the size of a dinner plate in the middle of my back, a band around my ankle, and a Fishbone (the band) logo on my hip. Not too girly. :)

[NewJeffCT]

43. I'd say tattoos are almost a requirement

for bad-assness.

[Strawman]

29. These days, yes

But when I met my wife she smoked, and I was a social, occasional smoker when I was out with friends at the bar who smoked.

Now, I haven't had a cigarette in years and the smell of smoke bugs me.

[Phillycat]

35. But in 2007...

it seems fewer and fewer people smoke. Two of my girlfriends and I all quit together. I think we're in the minority!

[Strawman]

39. Yeah, but ultimatey I don't think most people care that much

one way or another. If someone is attractive, the part of the brain that controls attraction/lust is gonna pretty much tell the olfactory nerve to piss off and win that battle.

[Seabiscuit]

31. Who cares? If they shave their armpits I won't give them the time of day. :)

[Phillycat]

33. Really?

Are you joking, or serious??

[Seabiscuit]

40. Guess...

Here's a clue:

:evilgrin:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

36. Yes. But it's mostly the smell.

Which is why it's sexy in movies.

[Phillycat]

37. I know what you mean.

Watching Gene Tierney smoke in "Laura", she is so sexy and gorgeous. But you know if you were with her in real life in that scene, she'd smell like an ashtray.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

38. ...

[mvd]

42. Yes, I prefer a non-smoker, as I'm one, and I can't stand..

the smell of smoke. As far as crushes go, it wouldn't make a big difference, but it would for a relationship.

[Radical Activist]

44. Now I know why you have five hearts.

Nice picture.

I have asthma (like a pretty big portion of the population) so I always prefer women who don't smoke. You might be opening up possibilities with a whole new group of men.

[Phillycat]

46. That's it, I'm dumping the SO tonight.

I'll just tell him I have too many new men to date! :D

[Radical Activist]

47. lol

I've heard worse reasons to dump someone!

[mvd]

49. Congrats on quitting smoking!

:toast:

[Phillycat]

50. Thanks!

:D

[enigmatic]

48. yes
