If you don't think Clooney is attractive, substitute a celebrity you consider physically attractive.

Edit: Mods, could you move this to the Love and Dating section? Don't know what I was thinking posting it here.

The fact that this is in the Adult section plus Steven Hawking is too hilarious for words.

You sure you want to move it... :wink:

Hawking is not a nice man for a partner as he had affairs and left his wife for another. But I think intelligence and artistic ability (creativity) are the most attractive things in a mate.

Here's a reason to keep it in love and dating:

Edit: I meant to say adult section... oops...

I know. :oops:

Incidently, I wrote him a 7-page letter when I was 13, about my theory of "Negative Space" -- an equal and opposite universe which existed "below/beyond size zero". A full year later, one of his flunkies wrote back to me that it was intriguing, but probably not true. I felt so Hawkinged. :x :lol: And to think I was ready to build a special wheelchair attachment for the guy on my space-shifting machine!

Also, one of the cool things about Negative Space was that, if you stay in it for 5 minutes, and then come back into Positive Space, you'll get here 5 minutes earlier than when you left. So, ya, I was going to exploit it for time travel :oops: . I later abandoned the idea of building that "infernal machine", as Doc Brown might say. :lol: The machine was basically just a forcefield so powerful that it created its own tiny universe within itself, which could be contracted to any size you wanted -- even past zero.

Wait, wait, wait. Clooney is faithful? (I don't know; I'm just asking. Usually those Hollywood celebrities cheat and/or break up/divorce within a few short years. Then again, Hawking is a celebrity -- just one in a different circle. I heard Einstein got a big head (metaphorically), and slept around while married after he became famous. :? Damn those otherwise-average supergeniuses! :lol: But see, to me, Clooney is not an interesting person. I've heard him interviewed, and frankly, it's disappointing. I guess my question was tuned to the "conversation" aspect of dating. Whom do you think would be more interesting to talk to?

I once had a dream about Stephen Hawking.

I would definitely not date Stephen Hawking but it has nothing to do with his intelligence or his disability. It's the infidelity.

Frankly, I would just not ever want to date a celebrity, period. Aside from other reasons (paparazzi, etc.) ....I don't even want my man to go away on short business trips, much less long projects. :wink:

I hate to be utterly typical, but if he were single, I'd want to date Johnny Depp. Bleah... I feel like a sheep (NT) in Aspie clothing (which needs laundering). But I do favor good-looking guys, as long as they are quirky and have a brain. Mainly I stick to rockers. My longtime BF is one (and a fellow Aspie to boot).

BTW, I answered "what?" 'cause I think Clooney is gross.

Oh, and I couldn't resist adding that I like it when my boyfriend leaves town on tour - I love my alone time! Anything more than a month is a little much, but otherwise, I just figure that it gives me a chance to miss him.

I've found it's hard to balance "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" with "Out of sight, out of mind."

I used to experience a lot of "absence makes the heart grow fonder" with guys until I found someone who clicked just right. When I left him at the airport I was suddenly aware of being alone and truly minding it. Then I realized that being with him was the first time I'd ever felt unalone.

I will still need alone time but I wish the extent of that could be a trip to the library or a day at work. :(

Ah. :heart: Sorry. Random mushy talk. I will go back to my cave now. :P

No too random. I identify.

My guy and I live together - "out of sight, out of mind" is kind of difficult when his stuff is still all over the place (not to mention his dog). :) It's also why it takes me a while to miss him - it takes some time for me to feel he's actually "gone."

Not too mushy - I'm sure my boyfriend wishes I were a bit mushier.

Neither one.

If I were to find someone, it would be a man like Roger Bannister. (I don't think anyone like that exists in my age group, however.)

Oh Johnny Depp definitely. He's rather witty with his words and the charactors he potrays.
