I have never seen the problem between respecting women and also viewing them in a more...sexual way. I mean, I'm a guy. I'm supposed to do that, right.

The thing is, the more I respect a woman, the hotter she is. A beautiful piece of arm candy is nice to look at, but if there's no respect then the hotness fades rapidly. I was on my 2nd date once with a gorgeous gal, and she was so eff-ing stupid that I faked being ill so I could drop her off and go hang with the fellas.

I've never seen a problem with the fact that if a woman is attractive, and intelligent, and active, and could even kick my butt at some of my hobbies also makes her more attractive to me in ways that aren't purely cerebral and platonic.

Maybe that just makes me a juvenile objectifier of women though.
