Why Are Warrior Women Never Ugly?

Just thought I'd add some drawings to the mix. I got complements one year at GenCon, when i had a table at the Art show, pleased that the women were actually covered up.

I like this one, Todd.

I'm all for warrior women who are beautiful in revealing armor and outfits.
Because, inevitably, in every game I've played in, they meet a Fireball. (In fairness, the men also do.)
Fireballs are lousy for the complexion. So is being hacked up by assorted monsters, half eaten by monsters, crunched by monsters, and squashed by monsters.

Fortunately for women (and men alike) clerical healing magic erases scars. If that is not enough, there is regenerate for extremis situations.

By the third combat in every game, everyone in the party looks the same: they look like that book did in Fellowship of the Ring ... slashed, stabbed, partly burned, and so covered in black stains like dried blood that little else can be discerned.

Anna Kournikova? Woof.

She's about as appealing to me as this dog - woof indeed.

Poor you. I never get why people describe their restricted tastes as a point of pride. What do people get out of not being able to enjoy things other people can? When I move to a new neighbourhood, I go to the nearest restaurant to my home and eat there until I like it. Your life is way better if you can accommodate your tastes in pleasant things to look at to what is going to be shown to you anyway.

As for the initial question, everything arnwyn says is true.

I can't imagine why you'd bother. Why force yourself to come to terms with something that doesn't immediately grab you? Why settle for less than the most satisfying meal?

In truth, though, I posted because I'm sick of Anna Kournikova being used as an example of "hotness". I've no more desire for Natasha Henstridge than for her, but Henstridge isn't constantly lauded beyond my perception of her deserts.

Get some new objects of lust, people!

I was doing a project on another site where I was posting some images from Renderocity (With the artist's permission no less) and asking posters to come up with a backstory for them. Here's one:

Gothic Light by Larissad

Not too cheesecakey. But, then I noticed that I posted this one:

Temple Guard by Nosiferret

and I noticed that I am just as guilty as anyone.

I think Todd's first drawing has the most attractive female in this thread. I think part of the problem is that when people draw super-hot women, they draw each part of them attractive individually, but the whole fits together really weird - they are out-of proportion. Each of their DD breasts are bigger than their waist, and their sword-blades are bigger than their arms.

In general, super-thin women aren't attractive to me, and I think guys with super-rippling muscles are ugly too. Healthy-looking people are what I prefer.
