Why do women feel so threatened by Angelina Jolie?

[DS1]

:popcorn:

[Midlodemocrat]

1. A better question. Why does DS1 feel the compelling need to

post flame war topics with the popcorn smiley?

A question for the ages.

[Fenris]

2. You know the answer to that.

[DS1]

5. Big lips and a tight butt are flame war topics now?

:shrug: *

* shrug smilie in no way used to represent passive-aggressiveness of post

[Midlodemocrat]

No. But a topic with the words 'women' and 'threatened' in it

is definitely asbestos underwear material.

:shrug:

*shrug smilie in no way used to represent the obtuseness of above post.

[jpgray]

11. My "How should I threaten my women?" poll is hereby temporarily shelved

[DS1]

16. Oh just be a MAN and shut off her child-support will ya?

:eyes:

[jpgray]

17. Hey, if the children are illegitimate...

By the transitive rule, so is their child support. Two wrongs don't make a right.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. good question

me, i dont get it...i've got no issues with her :shrug:

[jpgray]

4. Same phenomenon that makes guys claim all jocks are pea-brained assholes

Same phenomenon that makes guys think that women don't date them because they are too nice, and that makes girls think that guys don't date them because they are too threateningly intelligent and strong-willed.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Wait. Jocks AREN'T all pea-brained assholes?

Are you sure?

[jpgray]

9. One of my best friends in high school was a jock

Graduated in the top ten of a class of 450, and a really cool guy. Took all the same AP shit that I did.

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Joke. jpgray. Joke.

My kids are jocks. Not pea brained at all.

[DS1]

10. No, it's the breast implants that make them pea-brained and it's

the salaries that make them assholes

[xmas74]

6. I'm a woman and I'm not threatened by her.

She's cool.

[RandomKoolzip]

8. Whoa...I was writing mine while you had already posted this.....

You win.

[jus_the_facts]

12. Heh...Angie ain't got shit on ME....

[djeseru]

14. I don't.

The only film I've ever seen her in was Girl, Interrupted and thought her very talented.

[tjdee]

15. Because she'll steal their husbands?

:eyes:

The woman has adopted two minority children from disadvantaged countries (which scores her extra points with me, that may be lame but whatever), she's a UN goodwill ambassador, she's dating one of the best looking men in Hollywood, and she has an Oscar. Put that bio next to most women and we'd be told how we should love her to bits.

Show her picture and all of a sudden OH NO! She's a hoochie/ho/homewrecker/predator/whatever who sleeps around and probably got everything from sleeping around. :eyes:

I think she showed some poor judgment in the past (that ick Oscar year with her brother, the blood thing with Billy Bob) but she seems to be shaping up into a great female celebrity.

[SOteric]

18. I don't feel threatened by Angelina Jolie.

I'm pretty sure she doesn't know where my man lives.

And I know who he loves.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. I'm going to tell her.

:hide:

[yvr girl]

20. You bastard!

Send back those naked pictures I emailed you...you PIG!!

I don't know, but then I'm without a man to steal at the moment.


j/k you can keep the pictures ;-) just don't tell matcom about them.

[DS1]

21. You must be thinking of someone else, I think you mailed them matcom

by accident, but I'm sure he'll be posting whatever it is you sent by the end of the day.

We're a sharing triad.

[yvr girl]

25. Damn. I hate when that happens.

Now he'll make me participate in a 'golden shower' to get them back.

[DS1]

26. .

I think that's an excellent urban DU legend to start about him, him and his golden showers :D

[SOteric]

22. Dudette, -

Yer sending my fella nekkid pictures and you're worried about matcom?

[yvr girl]

24. Progmom hacked into my account.

She's seeking her revenge for when I posted 'drunkel' using her account.

I swear, I was wearing lingerie. I wasn't nekkid. I mean...erm...umm...*yvr girl looks around furtively for an escape* Did I mention how lovely you looked in the picture thread? Simply smashing.

[SOteric]

27. *LOL*

No problem, - really. If you're willing to risk having DS1 Photoshop your...'lingerie' clad form with matcom's head you've got bigger things to worry about than me. :hi:

[DS1]

28. Heh

+



=

[yvr girl]

30. If I looked like her, I don't think I'd care

I could always take up wearing a veil.

[petronius]

37. Why did you post a picture of my girlfriend?

By the way, who's the woman in the top photograph?

[yvr girl]

29. He would NEVER do anything so dastardly

would he?

:scared:

What was I thinking. My life is in ruins.

[NashVegas]

23. I Didn't Know I Was Threatened by AJ

Thanks for the heads up!

:P

[Rising Phoenix]

31. I do not feel threatened by her at all...

[JVS]

32. Because she wants to steal their children?

:shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

33. I don't feel threatened by Angelina Jolie!

I thing she is awesome!

[Ramsey]

36. Ditto

I like her energy and attitude, that she is going to do whatever the hell she pleases. I like that. And I can appreciate that she truly is an incredibly beautiful young woman.

[Sugar Smack]

34. When I get the money, I'm having a couch designed

in the shape of her lips. I'll be a sort of silk burgundy, and extremely comfortable.

[HEyHEY]

35. The shitty acting abilities?

[applegrove]

38. She steals husbands?

[LostinVA]

47. There's no such thing

No one "steals" someone spouse. The spouse cheats on their respective spouse. Word on the street is Brad and Jennifer were way over, anyway.

And, I find it interesting that Jennifer Aniston (like Kenny Chesney) made sure she was all over the media blathering about it... but conveniently left out the part where she and Vince Vaughn were shagging.

Not snarking, just saying I've never understood the "stealing my husband" thing. Blame your husband, not the person he slept with. SHE didn't make a legal/religious contract with you, he did.

[applegrove]

54. I agree that true love is true love. And that marriages fail. And so too

sometimes if a marriage hits the rocks it can be saved. I worry more about kids in a family that the relationship in that regard. And some people are certainly better off not married to each other. And that a marriage that revitalizes and entertains and amazes is a lucky thing to have.

Men can be stupid. Sometimes they really do "go out with a hamburger rather than staying home and having steak". Not saying that any of these people are hamburgers or steaks. How would I know. Marriages have been broken up over porn for christ sakes. So point well taken. Yes - a crisis of life seemed to be in the offering for Brad years before.

I don't know anything about the situation. Why I put a question mark. Cause I had heard it before. Repeating idle gossip. And speculating. My bad.

I hear looking like a barby doll is no fun either. At least until you are old enough to be discerning about men or women.

Being young is hard. Marriage is hard. I agree.

[rbnyc]

39. I'm not. I like her.

When she was married to Billy Bob I used to fantasize about them all the time. They were my favorite celebrity crush.

[Sugar Smack]

41. Hey, how are you, anyway?

:hi:

[rbnyc]

43. I want a new job very badly.

I had a great interview and am waiting to hear. It would mean a lot to me and my family.

How are you?

[Sugar Smack]

46. Good for you!

Job interviews are the worst. I was unemployed for a year & a half & nearly went nuts. I have my fingers crossed for you, rbnyc. I wish you the best of luck.

I'm ok, and I had a really good day yesterday with my best friend and her family!



:) :bounce: :toast:

[SeattleGirl]

40. I don't feel threatened by AJ in the least.

Yeah, I think she's beautiful, but I don't feel threatened by that.

[LostinVA]

42. I'm not threatened by her -- I want to have a wild weekend with her

Anytime, Angelina!!!

[ismnotwasm]

44. Are you crazy?

The women is HOT. Smolders. Those eyes....jesus. Enough to make all straight women ignore DS1.

Not to mention she gives every appearence of giving a shit about the rest of the world. And has done some very decent humanitarian work

PLUS she makes bad sci-fi movies, and I loves me some sci-fi-- no matter what the plot is.

[Midlodemocrat]

45. Sorry. Nothing could make me ignore DS1.

He is just too much fun.

[ismnotwasm]

51. You all play around here more than I do

And know him much better. He does seem quite the charecter.
But Angela is still hot.

[Midlodemocrat]

52. He is quite possibly one of the funniest posters on DU.

Very sharp wit, very funny.

and, he is cute, too.



:hide: from SO

[bridgit]

48. hubby says he likes "no less than one of her tattoos"...hey! is that...

some kind a code :rofl: she's fine no threats here, i'd just like to see her get some better roles

[LisaL]

49. She is too weird for me. That brother kissing thing alone

is creepy enough.

[Missy Vixen]

50. I don't

She's lovely. There's always going to be someone more gorgeous, etcetera. It doesn't make sense to be threatened by her.

I don't consider Brad Pitt the be-all, end-all either, so I'm just plain weird, I suppose.

Julie

[southlandshari]

53. I dunno.

I'd do her.

:shrug:
























:evilgrin:

[prolesunited]

55. Who feels threatened by her?

I think she's hot. I rate her up there with Halle Berry in terms of interest in a little experimentation.

[Midlodemocrat]

58. Blue-Jay, paging Blue-Jay.

[gardenista]

56. Angelina's alright by me.

Why people get emotionally enmeshed in other people's affairs, particularly celebrity squaredance, is beyond me.

Hope she has an uneventful pregnancy and a great time with her new baby and the rest of her family, however it is composed.

[skygazer]

57. My theory

They see a beautiful, intelligent woman like Angelina wind up with a stud like Brad Pitt, leaving man-faced Jen all alone and they immediately personalize it, thinking about how they would feel if their husband left them for some beautiful, intelligent woman.

In that scenario, it's impossible for them to blame their husband so they throw blame on the "other woman", labeling her a "homewrecker" because everyone knows a man has no control whatsoever over his testosterone and will dash after the first pretty woman who sends a come-hither look at him (albeit with cold eyes like that of a striking snake or whatever).

It's the same dynamic at work as that which comes into play when a child is kidnapped or the WTC is attacked - people personalize it and are convinced that their child will be abducted or they will be injured or killed in a terrorist attack even though the odds are much better for them getting run over crossing the street to buy the latest tabloid to read about homewreckers like Angelina Jolie.

Any questions? :popcorn:

[DS1]

59. No questions.

:-)

[Scout]

60. don't know anyone who's threatened by her...

know lots of people who laugh at her and think she's weird.

I hope she doesn't make her kids weird.

She's not all bad, just weird.

[skygazer]

61. I don't really understand what's so wrong with wierd

I rather like wierd, more than I like cookie-cutter sameness. I'm far more intrigued by people who dare to be different, who have the self-confidence to be someone other than a clone of every other person out there.

Wierd people think for themselves - that's a good thing.

[matcom]

62. nevermind

better in its own thread ;)
