What (men) do women want?

Do conservative women look for different qualities of masculinity in men than liberal women do? Is sex appeal not so much in the eye, but in a point of view? Do young Republicans and young Democrats have different ideas about "hooking up" (which is what young people call pairing off).

Like everything else in the soft science of psychology, it depends on the interpretation you read. Data can be dada. My favorite survey of the season was made by the Independent Women's Forum, a conservative woman's organization that contends with radical feminism with long red nails, good looks, educated smarts and a sense of humor. At the end of every summer, IWF interviews Capitol Hill interns who work in congressional offices during their summer vacations.

Yes.

ALL women are crazy.

Anyone who has been paying the slightest attention knows this is true. The wise all agree on this.

I believe you meant, "[Grunt]".

[Chad Fairbanks]

"[Grunt]"

I get more happiness doing something for my wife than I do myself, she reciprocates. Guess Im just lucky but of the people I know who have had long happy relationships this seems to be the case.

This is exactly it. If both people are doing this, it works.

you surely aren't learning anything from my ramblings

I learned a lot here today. ;-)

[Chad Fairbanks]

Suck up...

(heh heh heh)

[Scenic Sounds]

Suck up...

ROFL. Chad, must you always try to put such a strange twist on my posts? ;-)

[Chad Fairbanks]

It's a character flaw... and a pretty darn good one to, if I do say so myself (and I just did)

[man of Yosemite]

That's the funniest thing I've read today, and probably the truest as well.

[Scenic Sounds]

LOL. Great tag line.

I'm going to bed - try to behave yourself. ;-)

[Chad Fairbanks]

try to behave yourself

ok... I'll try... G'night...

Actually the bad boys are sleeping with the bad girls while they are attempting to also sleep with the good girls, which they often succeed in doing. The good guys are building their portfolios, having become disgusted with the whole rotten mess.

[CyberCowboy777]

What a tribute.Now how is it you had the good sense to pick a good woman in the first place?

If he is anything like me he did no such thing.

G_d, my wife and my mom set the whole thing up.

[man of Yosemite]

Everyone who gathered around Christ for his salvation was part of his Christian church. If you think Jesus never built the church, you are mistaken. If you think that same chuch has disappeared, you are blind. There are plenty of people walking with God in many christian churches. A person standing by himself is never a church.

Good summation. I'd add that the knights in shining armor exist. It's just that the women are too busy enjoying the attention garnered by complaining about the bad guy that they get irked when help arrives. If they don't get irked, they use the knight to infuse jealousy into the situation so that the bad guy will spoil them a little just to keep them around. The knights are tired of those who cry wolf and urge them into battle against shadows. This knight would rather the damsel slew the bad man herself then prove herself worthy of his interests at this point. But that's just my approach for the moment, "I could be wrong".

Dear Joesbucks:

Unless there is a whole lot missing in your account of events, she is a liar.

She's not devoted to Christ, not a Conservative, and certainly someone you should be glad to be rid of.

But they tire of this and decide they need a "real" man -- as in a "real exciting" man. ...

Women like a man that's dangerous. Danger can sublimate to many different areas (one of the most common civilized ones being power), but if a woman doesn't consider a man dangerous in some way she will soon lose interest in him.

You do realize what you're asking, don't you? Asking Chad to behave is like asking Herbie Hancock to play "Heart and Soul" (not "Body and Soul" - "Heart and Soul") on a 12-inch Casio piano (I mean, it's possible, but...). It is the very definition of "tall order".

[King Prout]

oooo!
