RSJL: Article 15 The Wow Factor…

The thing that is most common amongst men yet holds the title of the most subjectively decided issue amongst them is none other than the appeal of the female form.

The love of women is inherent in ALL men. If you don’t love women, then you don’t qualify as a man. If you reason that is a logical fallacy by assuming the antecedent, you are a fag, and I mean that quite literally.

The other thing that we love, inter alia, is sport. Now, although you may attempt to argue to the contrary, sport is objectively assessed. You may now ask me if it is so that sport is objectively assessed then how do I explain such wide discrepancies of opinions in regard to every player, team, sport, outcome etc…

Very simply I reply that this is not because sport is subject but rather that we are a funny bunch that loves to argue and that a preference toward a team or player clouds are judgment making us biased fans…or loyal supporters depending on which side of the couch you sit. Enough of this now though, as our predetermined bias in sport means that not everyone supporters the All Blacks and if that was the case it would be boring walking around brimming from ear to ear after every tri-nations Saturday.

Back to women. Cast your blogging memory back to an early supposition that advocated the idea that what a girl finds attractive in the opposite sex is his ‘vibe’. You remember that? Well, after much deliberation it has dawned on me what the female equivalent is…Bingo.

Reverting to the premise that the appreciation of women is a subjectively assessed issue..! What I refer to with this is that men see women differently from other men based on their personal preference. Guys harbour a subjective choice preference that allows them to find some girls gorgeous whereas other guys would find the same lass as ‘not so’ gorgeous. Sure, some guys may share these preferences with other guys but it will be rare when you find guys that have all their preferences the same as another.
Before we experiment with practical examples I must make known that subjectivity may not translate into practical circumstances as the c-ankle girl on campus that you vehemently swore against is ripping up the dance square at tiger and after a few Wardable Bombs (shot of jager in an olmeca tumbler charged with a Red Bull) your judgment is impaired to the point where the visually offending dance queen is looking at you like you wished Angelina Jolie would and she bears starling resemblence to said Angelina...

Let’s now experiment with practical examples. Take Guy A and Guy B:

Guy A’s preferences: Big boobs, tight bum, long legs, white teeth.


Guy B’s preferences: Shapely boobs, tight bum, sexy hips, blue eyes.

Let me point out at this stage that although guys ALL like breasts, some guys will have a specific preference. Also in regard to idiosyncratic things like the fourth preferences the girl doesn’t need to have blue eyes for B to find her attractive BUT in the case of A if the girl has the opposite, like yellow teeth, he won’t find her hot regardless of her ticking all the other boxes…

The boobs example is great because a girl with no chest potential might be found repulsive to A despite her racking (pun intended) up points in other categories and that same how girl with rock B’s world because her small boobs may be shapely.

So here we are:



Pretty much every guy over the ages of 3 that has at least 1 of the 5 senses will find Giselle absolutely beautiful, whereas not all, albeit maybe a large majority, will find Paris Hilton as their “go to girl” come lights out playtime.


Of course this argument must include intangible characteristics of a girl that may sway a guy’s choice, hips, mind or all of the other to a particular girl. Elements such as reputation, personality and status may all play a role. I won’t get into it as it will be lank subjective and harder to grapple with but I find this nifty\quote from Denny Crane may elucidate my point:


“She is an angel in the bedroom and a whore in the kitchen…”



As decreed earlier I have stumbled upon what is akin to the ‘vibe’ in men, in women. Now as explained, all men love boobs, but it is then a subjective criteria as men have preference to which type of pectoral asset the girl sports. This however overarches these subjective possibilities and lands the poor guy helpless in that he has no choice but to be starkly attracted to the girl if she has it…

Very simply it is the “Wow” factor. You see the merits of your personal preferences to the female form are eradicated as worthless if the angel as this. Defining it is tricky but its presence is undeniable.

I think it is the reason a girl that may on first assessment seem average has the cancer effect of growing on you and the reason that a super girl actually turns out to be an utter showstopper.


The physical manifestation of a girl’s ‘Wowness’ is her sex appeal or how she manages to look heart-pausingly gorgeous despite the outfit. Sex appeal in its true form transcends fuck appeal. Fuck appeal is that carnal desire you need to extinguish but will only do and then never tell a sole, whereas sex appeal is the same accept you’re fine with your mentors and peers knowing about it.

In assessing the second concept of ‘looking amazing in everything’ we must be wary of falling into the trap of confusion it with those shape shifting night crawling MAC adverts that base the hell out of themselves to look attractive whilst running the promenade in Camps Bay or running you ragged across the bar at Bang Bang. What I mean by her ‘wowness’ is the painful pang that sears through your chest when she steps out of her front door all dressed up for you to take her for tsatiki and cocktails at caprice and that same pang when she wakes you up the next morning fresh from a shower bearing gifts of croissants and coffee.

If girl can bounce into my lounge in jeans and hoodie looking like a fresh winter morning she is all wow factor. It’s these girls that all guys cannot dispute carries the Belter title, angle title, showstopper title, and wow title. She is a keeper…

Keep your vibe up men; the power is strong with these ones…
