"James, since you are writing two books on dealing with women—at least—I think the readers, such as I, should know what you mean by an attractive woman. Sexual attraction is largely subjective. So, perhaps you could limit your choices to actresses, since we have all seen them. I have no particular number in mind. How about the ones who come to mind?”

Okay, Edwin. First off, I do not have relationships with women based on physical appearances, and have declined to date the most attractive women that have been interested in me, so that I would not end up like Samson or Enkidu.
These actresses will mostly be old, as I developed my taste in such women forty years ago.
As far as actresses go, here are my favorites from least to most:
6. Elizabeth Hurly, based on her slutty movie roles and excellent BMI.
5. Ann Margaret, more so when she was in her 40s and 50s than when she was model thin in the 1960s.
4. Scarlett Johansen, in anything tight, is my favorite Nordic babe.
3. Rachel Welch, when she did the playboy spread in her 40s, before most of you guys were alive.
2. Sophia Loren, from 18 to 80, particularly in her role in El Cid opposite Charlton Heston, represents my ideal type, similar to Robert E. Howard’s ideal of exotic dark-haired white women most often depicted in his Conan stories.
1. The second chick in this clip is a babe named Verna Bloom, who played Clint’s love interest in The High Plains Drifter, and reprised the same roll in a C-list rip-off Eyes of a Stranger, of that western, set in modern times, apparently, for no other reason than the lead actor/director, David Heavener, wanted to do a nude scene with her, which Clint had somehow neglected.
In my mind, personality counts for more than looks. My attraction to Hurly and Bloom probably had more to do with their diction than their curves. My pick for most beautiful woman in the world is a 70 year-old waitress from Pittsburg named Punky, who is half Navaho and half Italian, and whose father killed a Jap with meat cleaver at Guadalcanal when his kitchen got overrun near Henderson Field. Recently, when playing scrabble with my mother, my son tried to spell MILF, the definition of which baffled her. I just looked at her and said, “Punky” and she got it right away.
