Is It Weird...

I once knew a guy by the name of Eric*, who ran in the same circles as I did a few years back, in the days when meat was cheap, and gang banging was the only life we knew.

At the risk of sounding shallow, Eric was a rather strange-looking chap, with a bent nose, pig-like eyes, and a lack of any discernable facial hair. He also had a nose ring inserted, strangely enough, in his nose, like those red-eyed bulls you see in morning cartoons.

Despite all these setbacks though, women found him to be incredibly attractive, and he would regularly sleep with hundreds of them on a daily basis, although none of them would actually own up to it afterward. The fact was, despite Eric looking like a pierced mole-pig-man, he had something, which made him highly desirable to the opposite sex. They were queuing up to sleep with him, albeit incognito, as they were slightly embarrassed by it all. These weren't unattractive women or the skanks you might find at Tin Roof either, these were quality, level-headed women.

Which brings us to Amy Winehouse.

Sure, she isn't conventionally good-looking, gives off quite a trashy vibe, and looks as if she has the potential to smell a bit off, but am I the only one nursing a bit of a semi at the thought of her?


Amy Winehouse - Giving You A Semi?

I have a feeling I'm not, and many other guys probably feel the same way. It's what's become known as the Winehouse Effect, and in layman's terms, it's when you're attracted to someone who you REALLY shouldn't be attracted to, and you're actually quite ashamed to admit to it.

It could be because they're incredibly trashy, slightly strange, any reason really - it can't be explained, you just want to put them over your knee and give them a bloody good hiding.

So, does anyone else feel the same way about Amy? Is it really that weird?

*That is his real name.
