As long as they are happy, it doesn’t matter. I’m just glad I don’t have to date anymore. Too much drama

[rface]

that is funny!

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

15 percent of the men polled responded that they enjoy the sensation; 85 percent of the men said they enjoy the quiet.

ROFL!

[Allegra]

Here’s a question for you: Why do men enjoy oral sex with their wives? In a large-scale survey on that very subject, 15 percent of the men polled responded that they enjoy the sensation; 85 percent of the men said they enjoy the quiet.

I stopped reading right there.

Sounds like the perfect opening for a nice, misogynist piece by someone who might be lamenting his own physical deficiencies.

I may be wrong, but the opening line just didn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Item #1:

In her analysis, more than three quarters of the studies showed that gender differences were small to nonexistent.

Item #2:

It was concluded that internalized belief systems as well as gender discrimination in education and employment contribute more to performance disparities.

Conclusion: There are no differences, AND we understand the causes of those differences.

“..while their hormonally different wives are free to verbally embrace life and all of its permutations..”

Running your mouth, regardless of sex, hardly constitutes “embracing life”.

It is like those stupid beer commercials that celebrate any gravity-defying recreational pursuit as somehow “embracing life to the fullest”.

Old joke:

“My wife went to an Ivy League school, reads thousands of books, and attends lectures all the time. Give her any topic, she can talk on it for hours.”

“My wife doesn’t need a topic.”

[rface]

that's interesting...... I started laughing right there....and then the BRAIN illustration a few posts down made me laugh some more.

.

I don't read any misogynism anywhere here

[Mr. Jeeves]

Sounds like the perfect opening for a nice, misogynist piece by someone who might be lamenting his own physical deficiencies.

It actually turned out to be another liberal-slanted "We're all exactly the same except for the cultural traditions forced upon us by the Evil Patriarchy" story. ;)

Men (generally) talk when they have somethng to say. If a man is with someone he shares a lot of interests with, he will be talkative. If a man is with someone he has little to say to, he will be less talkative.

(Generally) If a women is with someone, especially another woman, she has little in common with, she will find something to talk about.

My best buddy in the whole world is a FBI agent, into gaming and computers as I am. He gets into town once or twice a year, sometimes with family, sometimes without. One time, he got in, we had a two minute phone call (Hey, I'm here." "Cool, we're on."), had fast food for lunch, played computer games for five hours said "Later, dude!" and he went home to Texas.

My Dear Wife begins on me: "How's the family? What's his wife doing in her new job? Did they repaint the kitchen?"

At this point, I've got nothing. I and my buddy probably used 1000 different words in six hours, most of them "CPU" and "benchmark" and such. It never occured to either of us to request any information the other hadn't already chosen to volunteer. That's the whole idea. Anything he wanted to tell me, he would have. Do I really need to know what he had for breakfast in great detail, or how he felt about eating it, or how he "related" to it? Ye Gods, if I wanted that, I would have spent time talking to a woman.

Not everyone is Gabby. But some men are.
