	The only time I really use a "term" for attractive men is when
	they've got long hair--that's the type of guy that attracts me
	automatically.....
	I call 'em "long-haired lovelies"...
	And....
	"scoping" means looking
	"scamming" means trying to get their attention....etc

    luscious morsel
    tasty
    stud muffin
    
    (any idea why  most "terms of affinity" of this nature, for either sex,
    are often food-related?  Maybe it links up with the doritos-lust
    connection somehow....only time and research will tell! ;)
    
    If I'm trying to get his attention?
    
    I'm scooping.

| 480.16 | Hey! Let's go to a club and get depressed! | MILKWY::JLUDGATE | purple horseshoes | Mon Oct 29 1990 10:07 | 30 | 
|  |     friend of mine explains 'scamming' as scanning and meeting
    (as opposed to just scanning/looking)
    
    i've never really liked the term, guess other definitions of
    scamming stick in my mind.
    
    i use the term scanning myself...scoping...if i see somebody, and
    want to point her out to my friends, i will use myself as a reference,
    and use the clock for direction (2:00 from me....black dress).
    but i try not to go out with the intent of meeting people.  a song
    by the smiths turned me off of that....it was too close to reality.
    
    	There's a club if you'd like to go,
    	You could meet somebody
    	Who really loves you
    	So you go and you stand on your own
    	And you leave all alone
    	And you go home
    	And you cry
    	And you want to die.
    
    	When you say it's gonna happen now
    	Well, when exactly do you mean?
    	See I've already waited too long
    	And all my hope is gone.
    
    (and i smile as the crowd joyously dances to the happy 
     music the song is set to.....)

|  |     Was at Dunkin Donuts parking lot, forgot my 7  yr old was in the car
    and remarked to myself "ooooh--look at that hunk in the black car"
    Then heard a "Where?  What's a hunk?"  Try explaining THAT to a 
    7 year old boy.
    
    Did something similar with my 5 yr old in the car, taking a turn,
    saw the most adorable black leather jacketed/bluejeaned backside
    ever! Remarked "Wow! THAT sure looks good in black" All I heard
    the rest of the way home was a series of "Whats? and Wheres?"

|  |     re: .20
    
    I'm sure I've ruined my daughter irretrievably -- we point out
    good-looking guys to each other.

|  |     re .21, :-) Melissa and I have been pointing out goodlooking guys to
    each other for years.  I'm afraid we sometimes cruelly point out guys
    we find unappealing, too.  We nudge each other and say, "There's your
    boyfriend!"  "Oh, yeah?  Well *there's* yours!"  (Then, we saw a movie
    where two girlfriends said the same thing to each other and we thought
    it was hilarious.  I forget what the movie was, but it had Victoria
    Jackson in it.)
    
    When we point out goodlooking guys, we usually just say something like
    "Did you see the one with earring/long hair/whatever?"  "Yeah, not 
    bad, huh."

|  |     
    For "window shopping" - "tube spotting".
    
    Arises from the fact that here in London the most delicious guys and
    gals all seem to be found on the Underground. There is the added
    tantalisation that they may be getting off at the next stop, so you
    can justify staring ....;-)
    
    Tube spotting calls for a completely different technique from cruisin'
    pretty people on InterCity trains, however....it's an Art Form.
    
    Just LOVE eye-contact in the rush-hour!

    should have seen the guy *I* saw this morning! It's unfair that someone
    can look so surreally beautiful at 7.45am...8-*)

    Just as long as you're not so distracted that you forget to "mind

|  |     >But then I suppose that's not true for all lines, huh, 'gail?
    
    Nope. Actually, not all stations have gaps - I can only think of about
    6 off the cuff. One of them however is Bank, which I have to go to
    quite often, and boy is that recorded message IRRITATING!
    
    >For the record, the distracting Underground riders are most definitely
    >*not* restricted to members of the male gender.  Yowza!
    
    I sort of hoped that by being non-gender specific about the Tube
    beauties I'd managed to convey that. I certainly Tube-cruise/stare at *all*
    of them! ;-)
    What I want to know is.....how come they all look so healthy when they
    appear to *live* underground?

    	Well since I'm married I don't go 'scoping' or anything
    	but like I tell my friends "I'm married, not blind"
    
    	For good looking guys it's
    
    	Humina humina
    	Long haired lustie
    	Studmuffin
    	(and if he's totally God's (or Goddess's) gift to women)
    	OOF! suffices..... =)
