I Like You, Here Are My Underpants

I would like to examine the phenomenon of women throwing their underwear at celebrities.

Jerry Seinfeld once joked about the ridiculousness of men resorting to honking their car horns at women to get their attention, but doesn’t throwing underwear have to rank lower on the flirtation totem pole? What does this action even mean? The obvious guess is that the thrower wants to have sex with the intended recipient of said underwear. If this is the case, why is Tom Jones always the person you hear about this happening to? Angie thinks it’s because he wears tight pants and does lots of pelvic thrusts. But have you seen Tom Jones?

And I’m wondering about the logistics of the underwear throwing. Is the action pre-meditated – the ladies all bring along a special pair of undies to toss – or are there awkward scenes taking place at Tom Jones concerts everywhere, with ladies reaching up through pant legs and tearing their hose, so turned on by the thrusting that they can’t help but throw their underwear in a moment of pure lust?

And why doesn’t this happen outside of concerts? Don’t women lust in other places? It has to be something about musicians, because I know it surely isn’t happening to celebrities like this guy…

Who knows, maybe rednecks don’t wear underwear.

I have no comment on underwear tossing, but I like the new look. :)

We all know every woman wants a guy who can make her laugh. Following this train of logic, it's fair to say Foxworthy is up to his neck in underpants.

great question, but trying to read a woman's mind will surely leave you even more confused than you are now.

perhaps the mystery can be best answered by approaching it from the opposite angle--that is, by asking why guys love so much receiving panties.

surely you remember that one episode of sports night, where Dana leaves a pair of her knickers in Casey's desk drawer, and how that was the hottest thing ever. but why was it the hottest thing ever? answer that and you're halfway there.

You guys are too funny! It all started with Molly Ringwald in "Pretty in Pink" and that guy was a geek, so I guess it goes to show that anyone can receive the blessed gift of used underpants ;-)
