Anonymous Just a little levity and humor. It could of course go the other way with “datable” men depending on one’s perspective. It is interesting though isn’t it that all 5 search engines focus more on women than men.

By the way, I don’t think someone being “datable” means that one need have a lower view of them professionally. I don’t know you of course, but I’ve met many many “datable” women that I have nothing but the utmost respect for professionally.

If it’s any consolation I did kill a “best of” the Babes of CES post after giving the whole idea more thought and consideration.

Sorry to disappoint you and I’ll try to be more sensitive in the future.

Or to use some of them to headline this entry? Your point is valid, and the comparisons you provide are as well. Women (and men) are beautiful, and deserve to be photographed, but like the "Babes of CES" stuff you were running earlier this year, this stuff disappoints some of your female readers. By including these comments you have diminished my role as a person who reads this blog and works in this industry into "potentially datable".
