There's a very interesting, essentially ladies-only thread in the Powder Room section which asks about 'glamour'. One of the thread's posts implies that men can be glamorous too. Hmmm....
It got me to thinking: is there a male 'version' of glamor? If so, what is it? I'll posit that 'manly glamour' (what a term!) is manifested as the 'tall, strong, silent type'. I.e., Gary Cooper ... and Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Or not so silent, but strong and iconoclastic: General Douglas MacArthur, Gerald Murphy, the young John Barrymore ... and Cassius Clay/Mohammed Ali, of course.
Men, what do you think?
Lizzie is right about the Powder Room thread. For the same reasons, I ask that the women of the Lounge kindly "take a seat in the back" in this thread, and that the men of the Lounge "speak up and see how they define it."

And since this thread is directed primarily at the women of the Lounge and not the men, why don't you gents take a seat in the back there, and let's let the women of the Lounge speak up and see how they define it.
