Around 1980 my Dad showed me a book someone gave him as a crank gift, its title was 'Everything I know about Women' and every page was blank.
I had to laugh because it was so true for me also. I know nothing about 'them' although a few have come into the sphere of my life here and there during my journey into the unknown.
My POV is from the place of a 52 never married bach.
The torment I suffered at the hands of Women is way to intiimate for this forum, but for some reason I still love them (as I kneel down at my mothers grave when she died so young at 42 from cancer)
man’s most primal instinct is football? LOL. You got me there.
Good one!
you and # 70 are (gack) co-winners.
I happen to be a happily married woman that happens to fall into that age group. I do not believe in “controlling” a man, or anyone else for that matter. I do however believe in mutual respect for one another. We have that, and control is not an issue in my relationship. I’ve worked in a male dominated environment for over 21 years and understand how men feel to a great extent. They’ve come to me to try and understand why their wife feels “this way” or “that way”. I answer them frankly, and have no problems telling them my opinion.
I’m sorry you feel so negatively about women. We’re all not just sluts or after a man’s money. I work a full time job, make dinner, the housework, work with my husband on home improvement projects. I can be whatever he wants behind closed doors, but never, EVER, would I try to change him. Why would I want to change the man whose true character attracted me to him in the first place? He wouldn’t want to change my character. I know the Barbie-doll types that are looking for a meal ticket, but know that there are some of us women that are sincere.
In addition, this is my second marriage. I first married too young at 20, and when we grew into adulthood and the marriage ended after 13 years, I did not ask him for a cent. I didn’t rake him over the coals for anything. We went our separate ways and have remained friends. Call it rare? Maybe so, but it is true.
About 5'6" or so.
In your experience.
Not true. I never had the desire to have a baby. I think woman like taking ‘care’ of things though. We are dependable and get things done.
Oh yes, without a doubt I consider myself to be a fortunate man. I’m dumber than a fence post and still a gorgeous gal picked me out of the crowd! I guess she just took pity on the needy.
To me, when a guy uses the term 'chicks', I think of him as barely graduating the high school level in intelligence.
LOL...no, you must be a nice guy. Glad to hear someone else besides me has a good relationship. :)
I do, too. There are three of us at least.
I’m slightly alarmed how many miserable people there are on this thread. :(
Nope, I’m utterly clueless. ;-)
Given my experiences with women, I’ve taken on a simple philosophy: “I hate people in general, and women in particular.”
There’s a comedian who told a joke: “The next time I think about getting married, I’ll just find a woman I hate, and buy her a house.” Well, the last time I was in love, it only cost me about $17,000: Thank goodness we didn’t get married: It would have cost me a whole lot more.
There are a lot of men out there who have decided that we’ve worked too long and hard to get involved with someone whos ulterior motives might be no more than climbing abord a gravy train. While you may not be of that sort, there are many out there who are, and are very good a deceiving men, especially those who wish to be deceived. I can now say that I was (key word here is “was”) of that sort.
I’ve heard women complain that “men are scum.” It’s NOT just men, there are plenty of scummy women out there too.

sounds more and more like you're just gay
It really depends on the woman. We’re not all the same.
“Chick” doesn’t bother me. Being called a broad does.
And I was called “Toots” a few months back. I was really taken back by that one.
I don’t like the ‘sweetheart’, ‘honey’ stuff either. To me, the man sounds like he thinks himself superior.
Absolutely. Scumminess is not a gender trait. Consider yourself lucky it only cost you $17k last time. My last one cost over a hundred times that much, and that was just the cash, the least and most replaceable loss.
I still have to work hard to overcome a tendency to trust everyone, male and female. For me it’s policy, not a belief system, that no one is to be trusted. I envy people who are supple enough to change beliefs and adjust their emotional gauges, but I shall never be one of them.
Incidentally, looking back, I’d say the female golddiggers outnumber the males by ten to one, but whether that’s because women are greedier and phonier, or because there are more men with gold, it’s hard to decide.
Wow—are you warped!
