10. Most of a woman's sexiest qualities are above the neck, anyway.

Not that there isn't something to be said for the female body. But writer Harlan Ellison, who once edited a men's magazine (yes, one of those magazines) once said that after being surfeited with all that skin, one starts to look for more exotic qualities, such as the ability to make you laugh, or carry on a stimulating conversation.

That's for sure.
