June 4, 200817 yr MyTwoSense has increasingly been becoming one of my favorite forumers over the last six months or so; I think he just climaxed. This is too funny.
June 4, 200817 yr MyTwoSense has increasingly been becoming one of my favorite forumers over the last six months or so; I think he just climaxed. This is too funny. Umm no, that has happened in at least six or seven months. Ink, I'm counting on your vote in the forumer of the year contest! If we can have our first mixed race presidential nominee, then damnit, UO can have it's first mixed race forumer of the year winner.
June 4, 200817 yr Rocknroller, I don't know what straight guys you're around but most of my straight friends care a LOT about their appearance, probably too much. I have friends who shave their chest hair and tan religiously for christ's sake. Hell, even I get the back of my neck precisely trimmed every two weeks. I don't go to parties without wearing nice expensive button downs; Kennith Cole, Nautica, Ralph Lauren, etc. I didn't mean to hit a hot button, but let me tell you I have had more than a representative sample to choose from, and you and your fashionable friends are (unfortunately) in the minority. The majority of straight guys who fall into the category you describe, in my experience, are either rich or uber-rich, and admittedly my sample of those groups been small (though not non-existent, I did live in Beverly Hills remember), but not the average Midwestern Joe or average Cleveland man. Again JMO and you can feel free to disagree, although I don't see the need to do so with that much vehemence. Outside of work, I can't remember the last time I saw a man in an actual button down (which means the collar buttons down by the way, not the placket in the front of the shirt).
June 4, 200817 yr everybody is an individual. You can't really say what women want anymore than generalizing what men want (But if I had too generalize, men often want, and feel they are intitled, to someone much looking and younger than themselves). I have had female friends over the years that lament not finding a good guy, but they date total jerks. Personally I think KJP is a good catch, but I would have to analyize what type of women (crazy, troublemakers? who knows)you are going after before providing further comment. Which I realize you probably don't want a comment anyway.
June 4, 200817 yr Haha there's so much sexual frustration in this thread. I know I'm a lot younger and probably deal with some different issues with women but I think the biggest problem is that sometimes we're just too damn nice. I don't know how many times I've made the mistake of telling women everything they want to hear because I thought it would help me advance. I didn't know it would make me look "desperate" or make me look I have some evil motive to get in their pants. I think women have a lot more respect for you when you just tell them like it is. Making fun of them and being a sarcastic @sshole occasionally makes you seem much more real and genuine. I've tried to have deep conversations with the opposite sex but I think most of them just don't think its appropriate when you first meet them. Any time you have deep conversation, you're getting into personal beliefs and it's too risky when you're trying to bond and find a common ground with someone. I'm kind of the same way in how I percieve the opposite sex, I want someone I have a lot in common with but I don't want someone that just accepts me for who I am; I want to be pushed. I think we all go for people that have an ability to tap into our insecurities. It's funny, my mom is dating a very high profile person, someone I thought she could never pull; I heard her talking to him on the phone, completely trashing him but he keeps calling her back because she's basically the only person that's pushing him to make a totally different career move that he knows he should make but won't. I'd imagine it's the same with how women perceive men. My aunt used to complain that her husband was too content with her being fat, for example.
June 5, 200817 yr I've been a hag ever since I started to like boys! Most gay men are physically want a woman wants in a straight man. Not just physically! They clean, they have really nice lawns, they like good looking, clean furniture, they fold their clothes, they like gourmet food, they're up on current events, art, gossip, the list goes on and on. I think most straight men have been through a phase where they do these things in hope of attracting and retaining women. Generally, men move away from these practices around the 100th time they see these sorts of men dumped for sloppy, uncaring musicians/race car drivers/drug dealers/artists/trust fund babies/professional students/motorcycle mechanics who do as they please and enjoy themselves. Women never dump those guys for "clean" men on the other hand.
June 5, 200817 yr Can we get back to me....I was traumatized in the suburbs...doesn't anyone care?! Also, I saw "stoop punk" on the way home as soon as he saw me, he hit it in the other direction. He's lucky I didn't have my baseball bat with me this time!
June 5, 200817 yr Oh boy I got home and look what I caused! I need to stop having a bad day at work. Well, anyways, sorry MTS, I was taking your terms of endearment the wrong way. Chalk it up to me being in a pissy mood. Anyways, MTS, glad the punk is scared of you. Also, I prescribe you with 3 months of absolutely no suburbs and you should fully recover.
June 5, 200817 yr I am so taking MTS to a club with me if i'm ever up that way. I'm not for hire! But I do know some people that can..........we'll nevermind. That guy just pissed me off and made the Puerto Rican side me come out! That is not a good thing!
June 5, 200817 yr Not just physically! They clean, they have really nice lawns, they like good looking, clean furniture, they fold their clothes, they like gourmet food, they're up on current events, art, gossip, the list goes on and on. Honey, you ain't saw my lawn or my furniture, or ate my cookin'. On the other hand, the ladies (and men) ain't 'xactly lined up at my door. And MTS, your saga makes me glad I live in boring old Fort Wayne. Watching the drunks drive off the curve or into the pond is about all the excitement I can stand. Just reading about all that commotion makes me want to go spend a weekend at the farm to calm down.
June 6, 200817 yr Let's talk about the real problem during MTS' weekend....the wild deer gangs that are running rampant on our fine suburban neighborhoods, with their baggy fur and their disregard for the rules of society. They're hoodlums and something has to be done to get them off the street. I'm thinking midnight basketball.
June 11, 200817 yr Yeah, there's absolutely NOTHING true about any of the aforementioned stereotypes :roll: There's SOMETHING to most stereotypes, but the discussion seemed to be degrading into this myth that all gay men are muscle-men, and all straight men are slobs. I've know plenty of exceptions on both sides of that rule, and I am one of them (and people generally don't even put me in the "metro" category). There are CULTURAL PATTERNS and there are STEREOTYPES. That's the difference.
June 11, 200817 yr CULTURAL PATTERNS and there are STEREOTYPES Meh, I don't see all that much a difference
June 11, 200817 yr So you didn't believe me when I stated a Bad Weekend was turning into a Bad Thread 2 pages ago?
June 11, 200817 yr It's like a trainwreck - you don't want to look; you know you probably shouldn't even THINK of looking, but you just have to see it for yourself. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
June 11, 200817 yr "Cultural patterns are used to stereotype entire groups of people. " Exactly Yep...just ask the folks in Richmond Hts.!
June 12, 200817 yr "Cultural patterns are used to stereotype entire groups of people. " Exactly Right. And then people use that to run up the ladder to draw conclusions that may or may not be true. Just like a faulty ladder -- when the rungs don't have strength --somebody's gonna get hurt. Just ask the people trying to buy a house in Richmond Heights.
