Don't know it's exactly that accurate, but some of it is an interesting read to say the least.

Even when prodded to go negative on men, the panelists were diplomatic. Sensitive men were not highly thought of; as one panelist phrased it, "Sensitive and caring can quickly slip over into wimpiness." Guys who are too close to their mothers are a problem, as are men with creepy friends, men without ambition, men who pay too much attention to their physiques, and show-offs who condescendingly speak Spanish to the waiter. The women also had mixed feelings about Rotisserie League aficionados: "It's Dungeons & Dragons for baseball fans."



As for the women who went out of their way to portray all men as "bastards," one of the married women remarked, "Usually, women who don't like men don't like themselves."



This I agree on, and I believe the vast majority of women actually do feel this way. Only problem is when you hear women say something different when you know it's bullshit - "oh, I WANT a sensitive man." No you don't. That's the biggest lie of them all. She may want Mr. Sensitive when she needs someone to bitch and whine to when she wants to talk about some other woman at work she doesn't like but when a burglar breaks in at 3 in the morning and Mr. Sensitive's hiding under the covers scared right next to her, he's getting kicked to the curb.

Then afterwards she wants you to take her upstairs and pile drive her ass until the break of dawn. Or so I've heard.

Zomg. Oddly enough, my female housemates (all three of them) agree. >_< Eh. I hope they don't expect any heroics out of me if there's a burglar in the house.

ok, i didn't read this but these types of articles are STUPID. people are who they are and they will stay that way because there will always be someone that is attracted to them. reading these things makes people more bitter, or confused, etc. and it certainly won't switch on a lightbulb and enlighten them. this is the reason i stopped reading those damn women's magazines: there are contradicting statements on the covers. "100 ways to please a man" paired with "100 reasons why you don't need a man", "you're single. what's wrong with you?" vs. "single and loving it!!!"

seriously, wtf? don't listen to this drivel, people! you have brains...use them.

Uhh...they agree with you about the piledriving afterward or the fact that they want a man to be able to defend them if there was an intruder in the house? Or both?.....

wow good point.

My experience with the article's comment about "men watching sports" is a little different.

My experience says that the woman of the house says, "Turn off the fuckin' TV, pick up a brush or roller and paint the damn kitchen!" :frown:

Here's where things turned ugly. Thirty percent of respondents to the first question came right out and said they deplore male communication skills. More than 16 percent singled out resistance to commitment as a major gender flaw. In the write-in section, the complaints were reasonably generic -- smoking, drinking, talking with a mouth full of food, dishonesty, poor sex drive, spending too much time on the computer, obsession with video games, inability to get along with one's family -- but some were not: laughable dancing skills and the inability to speak Spanish, whether used while conferring with waitstaff or not.

I've always wondered about this. I can understand the whole resistance toward commitment, obsession toward video games, retarded macho behavior, smoking, dishonesty, and all that. But communication skills? I'm not saying men are awesome at it but seriously shoot me for generalizing but women are kings (or should I say queens) of mixed messages, fickleness, and basically patterns of schizophrenic guessing-games. The worst part is a lot of times this confusion may be either done on purpose or not at all.

I guess you could always argue that women at least do something to communicate no matter how misleading it is, whereas men just sit there and simmer or seethe if something is bothering them.

Erhm. I misquoted. They get piledriven by guys they invite INTO the house, not the uninvited guys.

Erm...yeah, I understood THAT part. I was asking about like...nm forget it -_- haha

if you have to explain it, then it's not funny.

^--Is that something a woman would change about a man?

[sageb1]

i actually care about criminals and drug addicts, and would be choked that they led themselves to crime and drug abuse.

however, i avoid female drug addicts because they tend to lie about men to get more attention from others.

and in cases where they are involved in murder, usually there's a man nearby who actually kills the guy they don't like or for his money.

so women want men to be sensitive to the point where they aren't gonna kill off people deserving of our compassion, but not give those fools the rent money or go out drinking with them.

by sensitivity, women mean "sensitive to my needs not mens'."

and women who don't want to train men to be like that deserve to be pampered!

Umm, how do you correlate Mr. Sensitive = Mr. Scared Fucker?

[deez nuts]

Umm, how do you correlate Mr. Sensitive = Mr. Scared Fucker?

i correlate mr. sensitive = mr. getting the perp to talk about his feelings and motivations on why he is burglarizing the house and a hug afterwards,

Right before he demands to have his way with your woman while you watch bound and gagged.
