While I initially agree w/your premise, RH, the fact remains that Jessica has never had a problem w/what other people think of her. While you can't say, "I love a nice butt and a bad boy personality," you CAN say "I like big guys w/broad shoulders and spontaneity" or the like and still not come off as shallow to everyone. That's not that hard to think of "on the spot" as she's probably been asked that question in every interview she's done to a degree (FHM, Maxim, and Stuff ask it of every woman in their mags, for instance) so it's a pretty common encounter.

The all too real fact is that everyone's too afraid of not being PC and hurting each other's feelings. That type of response makes a man believe if he acts a tiny bit cocky around a woman and tells a few funny tales to make her laugh she'll go out w/him even though he looks like The Elephant Man. Ladies, just tell us what you want so we can at least ATTEMPT to accentuate those inherent qualities in myself if possible.
