If the guy is decent at heart, he will.

Sure, he can be decent, but can just suck up all the attention, affection, affirmation and still be emotionally lazy, because of "momma" issues. My only point is that Dr. Laura is being a bit disingenous to make such a blanket statement that men don't need a book. I love men, and believe me, they need a book, too.

We all need a book, a mentor, a friend who'll tell us the truth.

I am what you might call a 100% male

I think my left big toe is female.

We got a spiked collar for Thor.

I miss Thor so very very much.

Well, I can only speak for myself. Most people who know me wouldn't guess that someone so strong can be so emotional. Many view 'emotional' as a bad thing. But it really isn't. Emotions are the basis for compassion, nurturing, loving, and feeling. It's why we mostly turn to our mothers in times of comfort. Honestly, how many men out there look for spouses who share traits with their moms? That's not saying a man can't have some or all of those qualities too. I happen to think President Bush does this quite nicely.

Now on the other hand, I know of lots of women who sometimes feel, 'If I'm not horny, fix me a sandwich'. ;) Not sure if that answers your question.

,,, I used to own a dog and it's spiked collar. My new AK-47 changed all that.

I agree---but I think men have heard a lot more about what they should do for their women (tell her you love her, tell her she's pretty, do your share of the housework, bring her flowers every now and again, ...) than women have heard about what they should do for their men.

Becaue sex is such an intimate thing between men and women, the rejection thing goes a lot deeper. Its not like a man would feel the same way if his spouse or girlfriend did not want to go see Master & Commander with him. He would understand, but with sex and physical affections, everyone wants to feel that their signigifant other wants to share with them the most intimiate expression of those feelings. Otherwise, the man could have the guys over to help out with those other things such as the kids and garbage.

I have numerous FReepers over to my home and I believe that every single one has been bitten at lease once!!!

Phudd's brother weighs in at about 13~14 pounds!

Here is him working out!!

This interview proves what I've always thought about her:

She is a man-hater, pure and simple. Haven't listened to her in years.

Last spring, I attended a golf outing where Gov. Jennifer Grandholm's husband was the guest speaker. He spoke of role reversal and how women have become more like men, and men are becoming more like women. I listened, and after nearly laughing based on his life experience with Jennifer, he said something that really resonated with me. He said (I think he got this from some book): 'To not be needed is a slow death for a man.' That really had a profound impact on me.

100% Correct. Its a lot pressure for a guy, especially when it seems that the whole dynamic is centered around HER contentment and yours is treated like it is somemething bad or not as important.

I was being humorous...

[January24th]

but I think men have heard a lot more about what they should do for their women

No argument from me on that one! And women really DO need to hear what Dr. L is saying. I can't believe how some women treat their husbands. I overheard one in a restaurant the other evening, just berating the guy that was with her. Noticing that there was no ring on his hand, I wanted to stroll by and casually whisper to him, "RUN!!"

[chris1]

No you should have shouted "FFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRREEEEE" GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GeronL]

I was trying to be funny.... gee...

[rintense]

She is right in some respects, the almost instant feeling of rejection is very hurtful to a man, regardless of the reason she does not want to have sex.

Yeah. Call me old fashioned, but I want to know someone's mind, heart and soul (and for them to know me the same) before we share our bodies. Unfortunately, not very many men respect that anymore. Well, the ones that do are already taken. :)

[GeronL]

GEEZ... I thought it was obvious I was kidding... I should have added '/sarcasm'

[Land of the Free 04]

She is a man-hater

That's nuts---I'm a man and I think what she says is pretty much on the money (a little too pro-man, in fact, where she says that men who get the three As naturally treat their women right).

[Redleg Duke]

It started in the late sixties with the feminist movement. Their approach, from the beginning, was to convince women that they were being used by men and to generate resentment and anger. They have succeeded and today's young women have been raised and trained by angery women of the sixties who have been isolated from their own happiness by the manipulative feminists.

Great job!

100% Correct. Its a lot pressure for a guy, especially when it seems that the whole dynamic is centered around HER contentment and yours is treated like it is somemething bad or not as important.
