BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Why do I find it so unappealing?

I JUST did that! I thought someone was talking about video games, but they were talking about table-top gaming, so my blithering about Sephiroth was TOTALLY out of place.

And Duane, that web site is AWESOME! I haven't stared mesmerized like that since Nazi kittens. (I don't have the site link, unfortunately.)

I've looked on Google and manatees aren't very winsome in my opinion, although perhaps baby ones are.

Those badgers of yours look like they've checked into a hotel, not a wildlife centre. Looked at the website. The animals are gorgeous - loved the baby fox.

Isn't it weird that baby animals really appeal to us, yet we are less gooey at the young of our own species? I think human babies are OK, but I always feel vaguely guilty and bored... I used to feel the same way in church. Perhaps it is punishment of some sort

If babies were furry they'd be a lot cuter.

I like the way it never, ever stops....

If two very hirsute people mated, would it increase the likelihood of this? Is there a geneticist in the house?

Ogriv, I think some of us are just wired a little differently. I have no positive reaction to human babies: newborns I find plain ugly, with their prune-like features, and even older babies fail to inspire much interest on my part. Friends' children is a different thing, undoubtedly because of the personal connection. I imagine that baby-crazy women (you know the type - no baby in their vicinity is safe from being cooed over) react to babies similarly to the way in many of us CF react to animals, whether young or fully-grown. It's the only way I can imagine what it must feel like to be really drawn to babies/children.

That is part of the "quality" of it. It never ends... it never ends... it is Internet famous for being so annoying.

To really annoy a real techie, just say to him/her:

Badger badger badger badger...

And walk -- I mean, run away fast! You've planted that earworm in his/her head so deeply that he/she won't forget it for a few days

eh hem...
