I understand what you're saying, Briabba, and I agree with you when it comes to real life couples. However, I guess when I watch a soap, I don't want to go ewwww at the thought of Sonny having sex with Nelle, for example.

Amen to that!

I think Sonny should sniff around Annabelle 2. They need to do a tale on cross-species love, and Sonny's the only character for whom that would be a believable life change.

I don't know how, but the first scenes he came back in he looked all of his 70+ years. Now, he looks hale and robust as he decks a guy 20+ years his junior.

How was Tristan made to look a decade or more younger? I didn't notice any change.

Yes, I think it's time to stop writing Anna as a high - heeled, bad guy chasing bad ass and give her a more realistic storyline.

I agree. When Robert was on before giving Finn a hard time about the God-damn cronut, he looked like death warmed over. Then he looked a little better before the kidnapping. And when he returned and punched out Valentin, he looks incredibly more vibrant and macho. I don't know if maybe he had a bad cold and was getting over it, or the make up changed or what, but to me there's been a notable visual difference in the past month or so.

He can do her in the Quartermaine backyard, on top of where Annabelle 1 is buried.

I never not get repulsed by these comments on women's appearances. Thinking of all the mean attacks on Jackie Zemen and her botched plastic surgery, Leslie Charleston and her looks, Jane Elliot, Nancy Lee Grahn, Genie Francis, and the list goes on.

And people ALSO make fun of how MEN look. Dedoc has been joking for years that Anthony Geary looks like the crypt keeper, and we all joke about how ridiculous Maurice Benard looks with his greased up hair lathered in 3 inches of pomade. And if you go outside GH, there are endless jokes about how fat William Shatner and Alec Baldwin have gotten over the decades, there were tons of jokes about how Dick Clark looked like a 70-year-old teenager, there are endless jokes about George Lucas and his 'neckbeard', David Letterman used to brutally mock Rudy Guiliani calling him 'Mayor Combover', there are endless fat jokes about Michael Moore, and the entire country has been making fun of Donald Trump's hair and skin color ('the orange man') for the better part of the last 40 years. People DON'T just make fun of women, they make fun of everybody, male and female. Stop thinking of yourself as a victim.

Humans make fun of humans- for differences in looks, sex, race, religion, profession, height, education, intellect, weight, and so on and so on. It's just that men, generally, are less 'hurt' by the slings and arrows even if one were to claim men cast most of those slings and arrows.

Correction. I used to call him the crypt keeper. For awhile he was looking like Bea Arthur. Now he looks like the lead for a third-rate Flock of Seagulls cover band.

I concur.

Men rag on other men, sometimes brutally and rather cruelly (at least, that it is how it can appear to an outsider), at one of my jobs, we are all men who work together, and we literally spend the entire day making fun of other fun, giving each other mocking nicknames and playing pranks on each other. One of the guys is black, and of course, we make black jokes (for example, 'Black Panther is the first black movie he is excited about since New Jack City'), and he makes mocking accusations of racism and mock political correctness (for example I might say 'I saw a blackbird outside' and he might respond 'that's an African American bird you racist!').

Men tend not to be sensitive to such things, we can brutally insult each other and it is nothing, but women DO tend to be sensitive and get offended and hurt when men say the kinds of things about women that we say about each other.

The difference isn't that we treat women differently than we do men, it is just that women tend to be more sensitive to criticism and mockery than men are.

Hey, I recently had a debate with a few folks here about whether or not Sam's boobs looked "fat" in that red NB dress. I think she looked attractive, and that they were nuts for thinking any part of her is fat. We argue about such things but we don't get on a soap box about it. We are definitely not a politically correct group 😃

I agree with that broad.

Men are used to pecking order tactics- they are immersed in it from the sandbox on. Women are not, and so they tend to overreact more often than men to comments that are actually meant to tease in a bonding sense, rather than offend.

Are you calling me a broad, or someone else?

Probably. He just quoted you for no reason.

Sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say mouthy broad.
