The only real difference between us is that I'm a guy, and I don't have magical powers.:laugh:

Considering the source of your avatar I would have to question that assessment of yourself :-P

What do you mean by that? It's quite tastefully done. I just think it's a very pretty picture, that's all. There's nothing wrong with being able to appreciate nude art; it doesn't make one a pervert at all. How one views it is what truly matters; it doesn't "turn me on" or make me have bad thoughts or whatever. I don't really see what that has to do with anything anyways...I'm the same as I've always been.... :inoc:

Ah, but your claim was that you were like Belldandy, sorry, but Belldandy being as sexually naive and innocent as she is not going to view nude art the way that you yourself would, you can state that it is tasteful and doesn't inspire sexual toughts in you, nonetheless you do realize that it has sexual connotations due to the nudity, something that would not register with Bell, as her mind doesn't stray into the sexual unless someone actively brings up the issue to her, that's the thing with bell she just doesn't think about sex that often unless someone else makes sex the issue.

As a result the comparison with Bell is not entirely honest, as this points out that there are large differences in the way she thinks versus the way that you think, you did notice the sexual issues involved in the picture, where she would not.

"doesn't think about sex that often unless someone else makes sex the issue. "

That's exactly how I am. Yes, I realize that sex exists, and that nudity does make most people think about it (but this is mostly due to culture), but that's the extent of it. I don't see how nitpicking something so insignificant as this (as well as thinking that you actually know me well enough to know how I think, much less know me at all) amounts to "large differences," especially considering that I never even brought it up to begin with. I only mentioned that I didn't think anything sexual of it because that's the only logical explanation I can think of as to why you disagreed with me in the first place.

No, because your choice of picture for your avatar belies that claim, as you said you felt that the picture while a nude picture was tastefully done, that comment shows that you were aware of the sexual nature of the pic just that you felt it was mild enough to be acceptable. That is why I am pointing out the differences, now you say they are small, but I disagree as that is part of Belldandy's nature, in fact a very important part because its one of the major thngs that makes her so unique.

I'm not saying I know you, however I am going by what you have said yourself, and pointing out the inconsistencies. Like you said that you didn't think of anything sexual when you chose it, but you immediately jumped to state the sexual aspect of the picture even though I never said anything about sex in my original comment, just that the source of the picture made me question your assessment, but you were quick to realize what I meant, Bell on the other hand would have been lost.

Now understand that I am not signaling you out alone, I don't think anyone is really like Bell, and I have to question anyone's assessment who thinks that they are, yours was just the one that I sawmost recently

I didn't say I was exactly like her anyways...sheesh. I listed a bunch of areas in which we are indeed very similar. Obviously I cannot be a carbon copy of a fictional character.

I would even question similar, as even among goddesses Bell is very unique, however I will leave it at that since I know neither of us wants to turn it into some big argument

Yeah, I understand that it would be hard to believe. I certainly haven't met anyone even remotely like me, nor has anyone who has ever known me. It's just something that I've noticed the more that I've familiarized myself with the series.

Perhaps although Bell would be far too modest to state that she was like that in fact Bell doesn't seem to realize how good a person she is :-P lol

I really don't think anything I do is special or whatever....it's just normal for me, certainly nothing out of the ordinary. I just be myself, and let others come to what conclusions they will. I mean, would you rather I had not said anything?

It's a given that one would have to be at least a little bit immodest in order to say who they are like in here.

"Bell doesn't seem to realize how good a person she is"

LOL, a lot of people have said that about me.....it's really quite embarrassing, though....I don't know how to respond to that....it mostly just ends up making me blush, lol...

Well hence the reason why I had to say something, since Bell isn't the least bit immodest

You're nitpicking again....X|


Just forget I even said anything.....
