Who would you most like to date?

[#480 :]

Whoa.... calm down there. You say you've seen the real Leela? Okay, you just sit right there.

*calls those nice young men in white coats*

[#481 :]

Iam the men in white coats hehe! I have just taken myself off to bed with a couple of nice pink pills!

I was talking about Katey Sagal the woman who does Leelas voice.

[#482 :]

Dear Diary,

Questioning own sexuality.

I think I may have one.

...

Naa!

Uhm... Not meaning to provoke you, but ... Y'DO!
I seem to recall from somewhere that you claimed to be asexual.
"Asexuality" is a sexuality.
Did I just make a pun?

Ms. Sagal is one of those rare individuals who refuses to age as a normal person should. She's in her fifties, and still quite the attractive woman.
Hmm... I wonder... if we looked, would we find a decrepit portrait in her attic?
Yeah... Katey Sagal, Barbara Eden, and Raquel Welch...
 

[#484 :]

@ Spacecase:

Hollywood Plastic surgeons and Botox keep a lot of these actresses looking eternally young.

Granted Katie's face doesn't look like it's been touched.  Either she's got a good doc or she has great genetics.

I did. Show off.

I wrote some of that article, I did. 

(Now to work on this...)

Uh... No comment. (  )

 

Yeah... Katey Sagal, Barbara Eden, and Raquel Welch... 

Don't forget Elisabeth Sladen. Ok, she's changed, but not really in a disagreeable way, you understand...

[#486 :]

Iam glad that image might have stired something Xanfor!
Iam a liitle perplexed though, you claim to be asexual yet have such unparalleled enthusiasm for the Fry Leela shipy theme.

You've been studying psychology too long, Gordon. 

For one, being asexual simply means that I have no sexual attraction to persons of either gender. No desire to engage in the ‘makin' deh babiez pas de deux’.

(I think I owe it to idolizing Spock and the Doctor when I was a kid  .)

It has nothing to do with romance, love, or even physical intimacy. (All of which I do desire.) I think you may have been confusing asexuality with either aromanticism or antisexualism.

In a nutshell, I'd rather have chocolate. Or make out, perhaps.
But + will always = 

And as far as I'm concerned, that  can take any form it wants.

[#488 :]

I have been 'Studying Psychology' since I could see hear and think...I still don't think i'm any further forward! 

I get your argument though, anyway my question wasnt that serious anyways 

My friend Gary always reckoned that people in the future when (if) we become more evolved will be asexual, as we will be focussed on other things...what I dont know !

[#489 :]

That's funny because I've had people say just the opposite. This proves that one thing that will never change is people will never agree on anything. Unless they are taken over by brain slugs that is.

[#490 :]

If evolving means giving up sex, I'm stayin' a monkey.

[#491 :]

Huh, so we have to choose between life without sex and evloution. Tough call. Aw well evolution is overrated anyway. Suck on that Charles!

[#492 :]

I'm sure she, like Eden, Welch, et al. is great too, but Leela shows zero signs of aging at 30, so she still gets my vote for the most date-worthy.

She probably would be one to age gracefully as she is rather fitness conscious, but I have to admit, even if she did start to fall apart I'd still be drawn to her.

[#493 :]

It could have something to do with her mutant genes. Then again, we did have a (non-canon) peek at an older Leela:

Ain't gonna happen. Trust me.

One, because no species will ever evolve to this extent, by definition.

Two, because the human species has stopped evolving.

How old was that version of her supposed to be?

Just old enough to like knitting a tea cozy, apparently.

I know I'm asking for trouble, but why do you say this?

And here's where Transhumanism steps in.

That article was right up my flagpole sinewave, thanks. When i've had a chance to read and think about it more critically I may post about it!

I have often wondered myself if the next stage in human evolution may involve us reinventing ourselves..lets face it, in many subtler ways we have been doing that by re-engineering our living environments, educating ourselves, using medicine, etc, we have already allowed for versions of the human animal that would probably never have come about, if we were still foraging about in the woods.

[#498 :]

Well if it's offtopic, Nixrobo will give me a sharp rap on my knuckles and delete my post, so here goes...

DNA and genes are just a means to an end: Evolution. Now that we have a replicator that operates on smaller time-scales (ie, our minds), we won't really need to rely as much on our genes to evolve. One way of looking at it is that what makes us human is our minds, and that we are really just the thought patterns that inhabit our minds. Dawkins called them memes. This may explain why we are often so ashamed of the things our carrier bodies need to do to survive, like sex.

[#499 :]

Hmm... how to stay on the dating topic yet address the evolution sub-thread...
I'd probably date old Leela (that picture is from a comic, isn't it?) She looks pretty hot for what, 70? I'm sure the primitive, genetically programmed reptilian region of my brain is energized by her curvy form to the point that it overcomes its own distaste for the signs of advanced age in her face. You give her a good face-lift and my sex drive couldn't tell the difference between her and a young woman of child-bearing age. That's what most of the beauty industry is about, isn't it, making older women look young and sexy?

[#500 :]

or making ugly young women look sexy!    still leela doesnt need that, she'd wake up next to you all tired and shaby and still look very hot   

[#501 :]

Humans are still evolving. Anyone who thinks humans are as evolved as is possible needs a knock to the head to reassert their thinking processes.

[#502 :]

It isn't that they are evolved as possible as much as we have advanced to a point where natural selection has less of an influence on our life/death. People that would die out and thus be removed from the gene pool in the wild, can thrive in the modern world and vice versa.

Humans are not still evolving. Humans are not as evolved as possible, however, they have stopped evolving. In the traditional sense, that is. Like Frisco said.

(BTW, intelligent discussion must take place at it's proper location. On-topic has thus been saved!)

[#504 :]

How did we even start talking about evolution on the fictional date thread?

[#505 :]

Well, you see, first I implied Katey Sagal was sexually attractive. Since this is something I rarely do, I drew some emphasis to this fact. SpaceCase then replied by pointing out an error in the wording of my post, which gaschief then read and remarked with slight confusion. I then set him straight, after which he told me that a friend of his thinks one day, everyone will be like me. I replied by saying how it ain't ever gonna happen, in a post that included a statement about how the human species is no longer evolving. And apparently, people ran with it.

I love topics which do that. Brings out the intelligent debate in people.

Now I want a hug. Come on, group hug everybody! Don't be shy! Group hug!

[#506 :]

Katey Sagal, didnt she use to be Peggy Bundy in Married with children? That kinda takes the hot out of every picture with her and also makes Leela a bit nasty in some way more than that she just has one eye. So i would maybe go with amy, i have this thing for asian looking girls anyway.

 Also Lucy Lius head would work. The robot hologram would be to strange, and i would not like to be on benders bad side.
Human dating robot?! Baaaad.

Xanfor, you're making my head hurt... 
Nothing a fistfull of Vicodin wouldn't fix...

[#508 :]

Spacey, go for Percocet 7.5/500.  A few of those and the freaking world can explode in a pus-filled death and you wouldn't care.

As for Katey as Peg Bundy - I always loved the ravishingly beautiful Peg - I guess it was the big red hair.

As for Xanfor and his asexual-ness, me being a crock-pot of bubbling male hormones, I'll be glad to give you a transfusion of said hormones.  Then you would see Peg/Katey as very desirable women.  (OK, Peg looks good, but my body would explode being married to such a lazy woman)

[#509 :]

ARRROOOOOOOO

I recall Sam Kinison talking about a guest appearance on Married and going on and on about how much hotter he thought Katey Sagal was than Christina Applegate in person. I'm not sure I would go that far, but she was rather hot for a large-ish gal and still is actually.

[#511 :]

When you save 'a large-ish' gal, I assume you mean tall, because I can honestly tell you that Katey is not fat and in great phyical shape.

Personally I have this motto:

Some like the big, some like them small,
It takes a real man to like them all.

[#512 :]

Yeah, I'm presently shagging a gal who's about a head taller than me. I got over my personal inadequacy about half a second after she removed her clothes the first time.

Tell you what... If you find any girls taller than Brad Garret, I'll take advantage of Ralph's generous offer.
