Men vs Women

[Punk Rooster]

To continue on with the can of worms opened by Ordoubleblues & Felicity Shagwell....

Why is it that women will say, when looking for ideal partner "I want a man that will accept me for who I am, the way I am etc... Now what I want in a man is... A-Z book covering everything from looks, to which side of the bed he should sleep on, which shoe he should put on 1st etc ... Anyone seeing some problem with this?? Anybody mention high expectations, maybe even unrealistic? Is it any wonder that the divorce rate is high? If people had reasonable expectations, they may just get what they want out of life & be happy.

Punk....! You can never make a woman happy...! Don't even try. if your the perfect male in the beginning they will eventually pick fault with it....! Better to be bad to the bone and stay that way..!

[felicity shagwell]

I agree with you Punk...

Women are being taught to be assertive and to not lower their standards, etc, etc. But yes, many become unrealistic.

Luckily, not all us chicks are like that. Some of us are decent and just want to find someone who likes us for who we are, and that we can like for who they are, without trying to change them (because the more intelligent among us know that you can never change a man - nor should you want to).

The book I was talking about devotes a chapter to reassessing your expectations and to get rid of lists of what you want in a man. This opens your eyes to men that you might not normally have thought twice about, because of the way he looks, or his type of employment, choice of hobbies, etc etc. Yet a certain women's magazine I was reading the other day encouraged making a list of what you want and sticking to it! No wonder women are weird when we get fed rubbish like that!

If you ask me, anyone with a list of what they want in a guy is a anal retentive freak and will never find happiness!

But I promise, we're not all like that!!!

Ah, the inevitable 'battle of the sexes' thread. While the goal posts have shifted over the years and according to Micheal Moore in Stupid White men, nature is trying to kill us blokes off the simple fact is that our clits are oversized therefore we win and women will never forgive us for it.

Don't do it for love, Punk...! Do it for money...! Far better to be miserable in a new BMW than in an old rusty Holden...!

[ORDoubleBlues]

Well no one should have to accept anything that just comes along but there is definitely a large element out there that will complain on one hand that they can't find anyone but when you delve deeper into their situation, you realise they have a "list" a mile long. Of course this list shrinks to almost nothing if the guy has money because they know that if they don't really like him they can cash in after only a brief relationship anyway.
I struggle to understand the ones that go after the "bad boy" type and of course it rarely lasts but when the inevitable happens they wan't to play the victim and then some of those will claim to be "wise" because of their experiences, yet they still keep making the same mistakes. That's why I said in my 'domestic violence' thread a while back that will never actually be able to stop it because women are attracted to the types of guys who dish it out - that's not trying to stir the pot, it's a fact.
The ones that really take the cake though are the ones who say "I don't do one night stands" which I guess is another way of saying "no one uses me for sex" but then a lot of those will sleep with taken men because they somehow manage to convince themselves that it's a challenge, when really it's not at all, it's a guy that's just looking for a root. Even if they are doing it to try and poach him and are succesful, in most cases they end up getting cheated on by that guy many times anyway.

Well, the only "beamer" a chick will get from me, if she marries me for money, is on a (backyard) cricket field!

1. Does she drive a BMW less than 2 years old
2. Has she got money
3. Does she have her own house
4. Does the parents have money
5. Do they drive a BMW less than 2 years old
6. Does she have her own business
7. Does she have the figure of Miss Universe
8. Boat optional, not a necessity
9. Does she bonk like a rabbit

If she passes all these, then she can be pencilled onto the "A" list

LOL. But Mungo, if you stay single for too long you won't be able to afford to keep your Cat because of the child support payments and if you don't have any of those then how can your species be a growing race in our society?

No Way To Please A Woman
A group of girlfriends go on holiday and see a five-story hotel with a sign that reads "for women only." Since they are without their boyfriends, they decide to go in.

The doorman, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you're looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide, since each floor has signs telling you what's on that floor. The only rule is, once you leave a floor, you can't return to it."

The women talk it over and decide to go for it.

They start going up, and on the first floor the sign reads, "All the men here are ordinary lovers, but they are kind and sensitive."

The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the second floor reads "All the men here are wonderful lovers, but they generally treat women badly."

This wasn't going to do, so again they head for the stairs.

The friends move up to the third floor where the sign reads "All the men here are great lovers and sensitive to the needs of women."

This was good but there are still two more floors so.........

So on to the fourth floor, and this sign seems perfect. "All the men here have perfect builds; are sensitive and attentive to women; are perfect lovers; they are also single, rich and straight."

The women are really pleased, but they decide that they would rather see what the FIFTH floor has to offer before they settle.

When they reach the fifth floor, there is only a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is simply no way to please a woman."
