Origin Of The ♥ Symbol

Here's an interesting bit of (supposedly true) trivia I heard:

The origin of the "heart" ♥ as a symbol of love and attraction.

If any of you have ever seen an actual, human heart, you'll know that it bears little more than a vague resemblence to the symbol. Plus, there is no symbolic connection to the blood pumping organ and feelings of affection.

Instead, this is where the "heart" came from.

If a (shapely) woman were to lay on her stomach naked, with her back and head slightly arched up, the view of her shape and outline from her buttocks down to where her legs meet up with her butt, and the resulting inevitable skin "fold" when viewed from behind, will form an almost perfect "heart" ♥ shape.

Makes perfect sense. I don't know of any guy that wouldn't see that, and well...see ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Love Love Love Love Love !!

Very interesting. I wonder who first noticed that.

Mmmmmm, a nice heart shaped ass. Definitely spells love in my book.

I tried to put ♥ in the title bar. It showed up in the "message confirmation". But when I hit "post", that's where & # 9829 came from. I could not change it. The message was on the board.

Incidentally, if you want to type ♥, just press ALT+3.

TurbineBeaver:
I think Matt D was giving all of us a 'hard time'. Big grin

If a (shapely) woman were to lay on her stomach naked, with her back and head slightly arched up, the view of her shape and outline from her buttocks down to where her legs meet up with her butt, and the resulting inevitable skin "fold" when viewed from behind, will form an almost perfect "heart" ♥ shape.

Reading that almost gave me a woody! Smile/happy/getting dizzy

Now you see why I like chubby girls! Laugh out loud
