Why are guys such dicks?

and what's with women and the PMS? that shit is TIRED.

[Richardo]

1. What's with the whole shoe thing?

We don't get it.

[Nikia]

15. I'm not into shoes, my mother wasn't when I was growing up

I will not buy something that causes me pain. I focus on people's faces not their feet when I talk to them so I often don't even notice shoes. I will notice if they are unusual in themselves or for the rest of the outfit. Otherwise, they aren't a big deal to me. Comfort is more important than how a shoe looks for myself. My mother was the same way. My mother-in-law thinks I am unfeminine for this. If I spend money to have variety in my appearence though, I buy a variety of tops. I always notice my shirt/sweater when I look in the mirror and notice everyone's shirtwhen I see them.

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Pain, confusion, and alienation

That was the short answer.

3. What's with the going to the bathroom in packs thing?

I don't get it.

4. Why do women have to ask if they are fat

If you have to ask then I guess you are.







I am going to get in trouble for that one.

[Lestat]

7. Haha! I've wondered that too!

[Nikia]

17. Body image, they aren't necessarily fat

Since looking like you are medically weight is shown to be the media ideal, and culture emphasizes women's appearance more than men's, many women have poor body image. Many women who ask this question are not fat. They just question themselves against this ideal. When they voice this to a friend or lover, they are asking for reassurance that they aren't really fat despite what they see on television.

5. What is it with women and toilet seats?

And what is it with guys and remote controls?

[Nikia]

19. We need them down to go to the bathroom

There is no way around that. Yes, we could put them down. It's not cool to be mostly asleep when you have to go to the bathroonm in the middle of the night and find yourself sitting in the toilet because the seat was up.

[texas1928]

30. Well ya'll are big girls if it is up put it down

We don't get upset because you leave it down. Yeah I know you will say then we go all over the seat. but Hey if its down we put it up.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

50. But at what point did it become the man's responsibility........

to make sure the toilet seat is down? When I was living w/ my ex-SO, she would lead me to believe that it was a responsibility of the guy to make sure the seat was down. I called it unfair, as it seems kinda sexist. I tried to convince her that if she was going to make the demand that I put the seat down for her, she had to put it back up for me. She refused.

Now, I can buy it as a courtesy gesture, but having it be a mandate is patently unfair.

[johnnie]

51. It's not fun....

When the seat is down and we think they are up in the middle of the night and our aim isn't on target either. Of couse, then you go in after us and...well, you know the story.

[tandot]

33. toilet seats...here is my experience

in the middle of the night I get up to go pee. I make my way to the bathroom in the dark (bright lights wake me up too much). I find the toilet, turn around and sit down. If the toilet seat is up, my warm butt cheeks will hit the ice cold and hard porcelain. With my luck, just moments before that, my cat "played" with the water and it is all over the rim.

At that point I am not a happy camper and I'll wake my boyfriend up to share my disgust about my "wet" experience with him.

[TN al]

6. Guys aren't dicks...

...There is just a part of us that stops maturing at 4 years of age. We try to hide it but it sometimes leaks out. We really love you to the best of our ability but when the 4-year-old takes over it is hard to see.

[sus]

9. you love me? can i have your baby?? which reminds me...

what is it with the chicks and their stalking?

[TN al]

36. Of course you can have my baby...

...I have four boys come and take your pick. They really are more adolescent than baby but I'm happy to have one of them off of my hands.

[sus]

39. whoa. didn't see THAT comin.. uhhh...

[TN al]

44. Hey a deal is a deal, no backing out...

...Tell me which one you want and when you will be here and I will have him packed and waiting on the front step.

[sus]

8. what is it with guys smacking each other on the ass?

[pagerbear]

11. No guys have smacked me on the ass lately!

<pout>

[asthmaticeog]

12. We're all closet queers.

It's just like how when women get together they're constantly having pillow fights in their underwear. It's a means of sublimation.

[sus]

13. what's with all the hot man-on-man action at DU?

and why don't you all have webcams??

what's THAT about?

[asthmaticeog]

14. Ladies first.

Put up a webcam for all those underwear pillow fights. Rrrrowwwrrr....

[sus]

16. touche, oh great smacker of gentlemen buttocks.

[asthmaticeog]

18. Touche?

Or did you mean "tushie?"

[aden_nak]

10. Answers

1) It's like asking, "Why are movies violent?" It sells to the target market.

2) Hormones.

[geniph]

How do you manage to pee all over the floor in front of the toilet?

I mean, are you not shaking it off enough, or stepping back too soon, or WHAT? Can't you just use toilet paper and blot it or something? I'm tired of walking in pee, not to mention having to clean off the outside of the toilet bowl. Why don't you just SIT if you can't aim better than that?

:mad:

[sus]

21. I admit, as a female, I have a hard time peeing while standing up..

it's a little messy.

but it's my RIGHT as an AMERICAN dammit!

(salutes flag hanging above the commode)

[SW FL Dem]

46. I hear you! It's my biggest pet peeve

Just how did that get there??

[sus]

20. why are guys always running down small children?

and why are the girls always dissin' my shoes? what's up with THAT??

[geniph]

22. This one's for the women:

Why would anyone WANT to have four-inch long acrylic nails? You can't wipe your ass, can't rub your eye without poking it out, can't button a shirt or answer a phone. What is UP with that?

[sus]

24. Amen to that, sister! it's ridiculous.

[GOPisEvil]

27. I used to supervise a woman who wore long nails like that.

Watching her type gave me the shakes - it was too strange watching her type with the ends of her nails.

[sus]

29. it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye...

[Pithlet]

45. They look ridiculous

My sister-in-law's were so long at one point that she was always splaying her fingers back whenever she was handling anything so her nails wouldn't get in the way. They're so thick that they look more like colorful, glittery claws than nails.

[Lestat]

23. Why do women always bitch and complain about men?

[sus]

25. BECAUSE....

A great big pile of clichés like the above is to reality as sluttery is to sainthood.

now bring mommy a drink.

[Lestat]

26. Actually...it's the woman's job to bring a man a drink.

;)

KIDDING!

[sus]

28. get thee to a nunnery!

what's the deal with NUNS? huh?

why do priests get stipends and the nuns get squat??

[Lestat]

31. I dunno...but...

I've been naughty. I need to get spanked by nuns. ;)

[Richardo]

49. See toilet seat discussion above.

the nuns get squat

[texas1928]

34. Yeah see it is on a billboard

[Lestat]

35. HAHA!

Hilarious! :thumbsup:

[democratreformed]

32. Help me understand my dad and my brother

Both of them have women who do not work outside the home. They don't do anything else either! My dad and my brother both pay a lady to clean their houses. Both pay someone to mow their yards. My dad washes his clothes and takes them to the cleaners to be ironed. My brother's kids and step-kids go to daycare.

How can they be happy with women who do NOTHING besides one thing for them???? I don't get it!

[Nikia]

40. And some women

Work full time and are expected to do all the housework. In some cases, they make more than their husbands. In some cases, their husbands don't work. They don't make enough to pay someone else to do their housework. What is that all about? It isn't all that rare.

[democratreformed]

42. It's not rare?

Damn, I live in the wrong world. Yep, I'm one of those who works full time. Thankfully, though, I don't have to do all the housework b/c I have a very great hubby who helps. We both work our behinds off together.

I keep telling my dad and brother that I'm gonna run away and find me one of those where I don't have to do anything. Not really, though. I love my hubby and, even though we both have to work hard, our family life is great!

But, yeah, I'm jealous of those who don't have to do anything except what their little heart desires.

[Nikia]

37. There are a couple versions of PMS

Some women's hormones go through bigger changes than others. Some women are really suffering from a biological mood disorder for a time during their cycle because of this that may take the form of depression, anxiety, aggression, or general mood swings. There are varying degrees of this from severe (even temporary psychosis) to none.
Some women also suffer from various physical symptoms (headaches, cramps, bloating, nausea, weakness) right before or during their period which may affect the way we feel. Feeling ill can affect general moods. Some women are very ill during a time in their cycle. Some barely notice any physical symptoms.
Each woman is different and may have different beliefs as to the best way to deal with this in regards to living everyday life. If you are an SO living with your female SO though, you will probably see the worst of her symptoms if she has an above average level of these symptoms. I think there are some treatments for women with severe psychological PMS that should be taken advantage of in some cases.

[sus]

38. my hormones can beat up your hormones.

:)

[texas1928]

41. hormones?? or is that the beer talking?

:shrug:

43. Hi, my name is Brett Favre,

and I am a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.

I am here to reveal the secret to the mysteries of females.

First though, you have to beg. because I'm a guy and I really dig that.

[geniph]

47. Why do so many men have a fetish for schoolgirl uniforms?

I mean, if I put on pigtails, ankle socks, a little kilt skirt, and a white shirt, I'll have guys after me like dogs after a bitch in heat. I kid you not. I know no women that fetishize the Little Lord Fauntleroy look for men, so what is up with that?

[sus]

48. I don't know, but I want to tell the men of the world that

hot teen action is no substitute for sex.
