Dear Judy and co vocalisters:
although I am not Don Giovanni, who loves them all, including 'la grande
majestosa', I must say, that this is a rather complicated issue. One thing is
clear: I've often talked about this with other men, and there are at least as
many opinions on this issue as there are men (those who think they have a
multiple personality disorder more than compensate for those who don't care).
In general I think that if a woman (and I think this is also true for men) has
a normal relation to food, she will look attractive, within some limitations.
But then their is
1. The pure esthetic preference
2. How strongly the sight of a woman makes you want to eh .., well you know
what Don Giovanni did.
3. What makes you fall in love with a woman, das unbestimmte Etwas, and as the
saying goes: the devil always enters through a different door, or even better,
the Russian saying I learned from my pianist: love can be so angry, it will
make you love a goat.
So although I do feel strongly attracted to tall, slim, dark-eyed women with
black hair, I've been madly in love with a small blue eyed blonde that was a
bit on the heavy side (but very intelligent), a honey with dito coloured hair
and green eyes who was neither slim nor heavy, a red haired ..., well I should
stop here, because it starts to sound like the register-aria, and this is a
slightly different libretto. One thing I can honestly say: there have never
been any bętisms with goats.
Best greetings,
Dré
