I was listening to a radio talk show this morning about a fella who wrote a
book on the topic. The question posed to guys are who would ya pick? Ginger...the sultry sexy star who is less trustworthy but likely a better romp, or Mary-Ann, the atypical girl next door?
I got to thinking about this myself and realized I married a woman who looks like Mary-Ann but has Ginger qualities as well...
thoughts?
It is remarkable how many guys will say Mary Ann. What’s with that? How could a healthy heterosexual look at those pasty thighs, painted-on freckles, and Lil’ Abner outfit and say, “Oh, yeah, gimme’ some of that!”? Especially in light of what’s behind door number three. Ginger: Movie star, sex symbol. Those lips, that hair, those eyes .... The producers didn’t seem to think there was any gray area here. You’ll note in the now-famous theme song that Mary Ann and that dullard the Professor aren’t even mentioned by name. On the other hand, everything comes to a screeching halt to introduce the “Mooooovie Star.” Ask yourself: who was always featured nude behind that little camp shower? Who had an evening dress made out of the sail form the Minnow? Talk about symbolism. That sail could be used to cover the giant hole in the side of the boat, but hey, who cares? It looks so much better covering Ginger..
So it comes down to a question of self-esteem. A guy’s gotta ask himself, “Can I handle a woman like Ginger?”
