well, i gotta say, you got a good story out of it. :-)
and it also confirms a universal truth - only dorothy hamill could pull off the dorothy hamill.
DD...
THAT is a very funny posting! Gave me a good laugh here about 30 minutes into 2015! Happy New Year!
“I was a tomboy and didnt like to wear dresses, so I looked like a little boy in my jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts. Almost 40 years later, Mom still insists that I looked cute and didnt look like a boy.”
Looking back on it, how did you think it was to be seen as a boy versus a girl with respect to the apparent expectations and burdens versus the privileges?
Probably should have thrown my name out there as the Freeping Female who fired back. Seriously, some people have no sense of humor or their knickers are always in a twist.
“Argumentative bitch”? Sheesh
“Sounds like she always has an answer for everything” Whatever
It was all in good fun and I’m rather glad you enjoyed it. My friends found both perspectives to be quite funny. Happy New Year. I have a bubbly headache that I must sleep off.
That guy is great. VERY funny, and also very good information on dealing with the differences between the two sexes.
“Takes one box out, discusses only what is in that box...”
vs.
“And this wire is touching this wire that crosses that wire, zing, zing, zing...”
LOL...my favorite is “The Nothing Box”!
I think that this makes you a front runner for the, ‘Misogynist of the Year’ award for 2015...Congratulations...I did think it was funny...ok, ok, ok, I did LOL :)...
If yours actually knows what she wants.....you’re damn lucky
Its likely the easiest time in American history for men to have sex
But probably the worst time to be married
I’ve got nearly 60 years of dealing with women
They are the best thing going...especially in the breeding years
But they are insanely difficult generally and truly do defy reason
I think the traditional roles of the past 3-5000 years were likely there for a reason
One I love women with my life
Next day I can just as easily detest them
Happiness and contentedness is not a natural state for them long term
And they are cruel to one another...very
Women who prefer men’s company and eschew girl power bullshit
Make better mates
But its drama....regardless
There is no easy answer
If you put a penny in a jar every time you have sex during the first year of marriage and remove a penny ever time you have sex after the first year, you will never remove all the pennies.
Isn’t that being, ‘Penny Wise, and Pound foolish’?
Com ‘on, Man, don’t clip the bullfeathers!
and yet, some people decry the fact that romance is dead...
Ah ha, my friend, there in lies the secret. Women never know what they want.
I hope my desire for your gender never ends
Its simply an incomparable thing
Which is why we put up with the frustrations stuff
If you love someone and its mutual the physical bonding intimacy and intoxication
Is without peer in the experience of life
And from that coupling of two souls comes second best
Babies...your blood... the extension of your being same as you represent those before you
Its so obviously Gods plan plainly visible to anyone with open eyes
A rib well spent.
I hope all here get at least a taste of it all
I thought both were perfect representations... and I laughed!
Thanks for sharing.

Here's an update for you. I spoke to my husband last night and he hasn't seen much of this, but he says that he believes some people are capable of it. He thinks that people who are very emotional to begin with can probably make themselves cry on cue.
But, the more interesting update is regarding the conversation I had with a female friend about this last night. As soon as I started talking about whether or not women could cry on command, she started nodding her head. She told me that a woman she works with recently wanted something from her husband that she knew he wouldn't want her to have (not sure exactly what the situation was) and she told my friend that all she'd have to do is make herself cry and she'd get it. Sure enough, it worked. But, my friend also said that she can't imagine being able to do that or even wanting to do that. And honestly, I don't have any friends who would do that. Maybe they did when they were younger, but certainly not now in our fifties.
