Why do people only use "hot" to describe someone's body?

Anthony Nguyen81 said:It’s the whole package that matters.
Both the face and the physique.

Honestly, I would have said the exact same thing. I could never bring myself to call someone "hot" just because they have a perfect body—strictly according to my preferences—if their face was unattractive. Conversely, I wouldn't call someone attractive simply because they have a handsome face if they were only 5'5". 😁
In short, it is either the entire package, or it is nothing at all.

As for me, I come as part of the whole package. 😛

Honestly, Ben Affleck isn't even attractive—not by a long shot. He’s mostly stuck with that tedious baby face, he’s gotten quite heavy, developed a noticeable double chin, and frankly, he is a mediocre actor at best who only landed roles because of Matt Damon; otherwise, nobody would have ever heard his name. He would be the perfect candidate to run Berkshire Hathaway, and I truly believe that would be the absolute peak of his career. I honestly dread having to sit through one of his movies.

I can't really speak to how he looks, but man, Matt Damon is such an incredible actor. That Bourne trilogy is absolute perfection. 👌

He truly is one of the heavyweights of his generation. Personally, I’ve always been a massive fan of Robert Ludlum’s work—so I am genuinely thrilled that it was Matt who took on the role of Bourne.

Are we really talking about Robert Ludlum?

brisksurfer19 said:Are we actually discussing Robert Ludlum here?

Of course we are. After all, he is the one who originally crafted the very essence of Bourne's identity.

slyraven27 said:Exactly. He’s the one who actually wrote Bourne's identity.

Honestly, I completely blanked on that, even though I’ve read two of his books.

(My wife usually flies through three or four books a month.) Robert Ludlum was definitely one of her favorites. That’s how I first stumbled upon his work, but you're totally right—it completely slipped my mind that he was the author behind it.

brisksurfer19 said:Well, I’m included in the package too! 😛

With what, though?🍿

brisksurfer19 said:I completely blanked on that—even though I’ve actually read two of his books.

(My mother used to breeze through three or four books a month) and Robert Ludlum was definitely one of her favorites. That’s how I first heard of him, but you’re right—it totally slipped my mind that he was the author behind those stories.

I absolutely adore him. I've always had a soft spot for political thrillers, and Robert Ludlum is easily at the top of my list. I've devoured a mountain of his titles and watched all the film adaptations, and right now, I'm working my way through Parsifal's Mosaic. To be honest, it's been a bit of a struggle lately—my concentration hasn't been great, so I've actually restarted this particular book three times already. 🙂

wiredfox said:What's up with that?🍿

Well, you saw the picture. 😉

slyraven27 said:I absolutely love him. I’ve always had a soft spot for political thrillers, and Robert Ludlum is easily at the top of my list. I’ve devoured just about everything he’s ever written, watched all the movie adaptations, and right now I’m working my way through Parsifal's Mosaic. To be honest, though, I’m struggling a bit—my focus has been all over the place lately, so I feel like I’ve restarted this same book three times already. 🙂

I picked up his *Death Factor* and *The Cassandra Contract*. He’s got some seriously wild conspiracy theories in there—definitely keeps you on your toes! 😂

brisksurfer19 said:Well, you saw the image 😉

I actually read his Death Factor and the Cassandra Contract—he really does have some incredibly fascinating "conspiracy" theories in there. 😂

😁
Look, at the end of the day, we are talking about novels—pure fiction—but even then, there is often a layer of genuine substance beneath the surface. 🙂

Take Da Vinci's Code by Brown, for instance. Life isn't always just black and white. 🙂

brisksurfer19, I think I might actually be sweeter than you are 🙂

Look, sure, we're talking about novels and fiction here, but there’s usually some real-world substance tucked under the surface. 🙂

Take Brown's DaVincijev code, for example. Life isn't just black and white; things are rarely that simple. 🙂

Well, what can I say? My wife finished reading it recently. 😛
I haven't actually read the DaVincijev code, nor have I seen the movie. 😱

wiredfox said:brisksurfer19, I'm definitely sweeter than you are. 🙂

People tell me I'm pretty hot myself. Try beating that. 😉

brisksurfer19 said:Well, I guess I can't help it if my wife was reading it 😛
I've actually never read or even seen The DaVinci Code. 😱

People keep telling me I'm pretty hot, too. Try beating that 😉

I hear that all the time myself
and honestly, I don't find it weird at all to compete against a woman🤣

I’m a huge fan of Brown; I’ve read everything he’s put out, and most of his books are sitting right on my shelf at home.

slyraven27 said:The guy is a powerhouse. I’m a huge Ludlum fan, so seeing Matt take on the role of Bourne was a win in my book.

I’m pretty sure I’ve read everything he’s ever written. 🙏
But Identity is his best work.🙏

But it is his exploration of identity—that is his strongest suit.🙏

I have actually gone through some of his books once, maybe even twice. 🙂
I simply adore Ludlum's work.

wiredfox, did you open this thread just because I claimed you hadn't? 😂
Look at Red69 and you'll get the picture immediately. She's a total knockout. Great body, gorgeous face.

I mean, how else would you describe anything other than someone's face or body if you're using the word "beautiful"?

Brains can't really be "beautiful." Sure, intelligence can be attractive. Character can definitely be attractive. But when we say "beautiful," we’re talking about something physical, right? 🤷
