Your Thoughts on Babes and Babeness

Now, it’s your turn to do some thinking… Post your thoughts in the comments and get some link love…
This week’s question: What is a babe?
What qualifies someone as a babe? Most commonly, women are referred to as “babes” or “hot babes,” but can men be “babes” too? (I have heard women using the term in much the same way that men do.)
Is “babeness” defined strictly by looks, or do personality and attitude come into play? Can a nice girl who’s not attractive be a babe? Can an attractive woman with a lousy attitude be considered a babe?
Post your thoughts in the comments. Or, if you prefer, do a blog post on your own blog about it and leave a comment here telling me about it. I’ll do a follow-up post summarizing everyone’s thoughts–maybe even do a fancy graph or something–and link to the respondents.



Babe is a babe in the eyes of the beholder. If you think he/she is a babe, doesn’t care what other people say =)
Excellent point!

I give Pete a 9 ~
it’s Mr. Baconpants that’s a 10 on my Babe scale.
@Dan
I see your- trying to cater to the college crowd again. When the college boys get here tell em’
“Mrs. Robinson was here and she’s a cougar. ROWRRR…” (whatever that means).
Should I also remind them what your husband does to people’s avatars?
Wow, a 9, thank you very much! I’ll take it.
Where are you going to take it?
I’m thinking dinner and a movie, then see what happens from there.
I think I learned something about you, Pete. I think you got into graphic design to meet women. Christie, Sara, Denise, Meredith, Beth… Ring any bells? Looked like a big smile on your face in the photo.
I surely didn’t expect to be the only guy in the class. And that was journalism, magazine management to be exact.
I was on a school newspaper once, sort of. Three guys.
The caption for this photo is;
Kenny: “Nicole what’s that behind your back? Is it beer? You hiding my beer?”
Nicole: “Oh Kenny- you are so much smarter and hotter then Tom ever was, even if you are a drunk! Let’s make beautiful, rich babies together.”
But, Tom has so many more friends. And Kenny, well, poor Kenny just keeps getting killed…

Ah, the rimshot… I think that’s what it’s called.
Babe= A baby; an infant.
I’m surprised no one went with the movie definition.
To me, a babe is a very attractive woman, with plumped, glossed lips whom I can’t stop thinking about. Often, my heart beats rapidly when checking out a “babe”:)
You can relax because you flossed, so there’s no broccoli between your teeth.
I like Petes comment the best.
