I would just like to point out that every female Pelicanhead is watching this thread closely, and finding more humor here than you guys can possibly imagine.

[Sapporo Guy]

I believe you !!!

[No, I'm not trying to be funny or sarcastic.]

Yeah, I'm sure they're both rather amused.

Sapporo - you've got some good stuff there. The chick angle is a proven one. I believe some refer to it as "star search".

You are sooo right Superman! This thread is HILARIOUS!!

On a less than completely hilarious note however, I would like to add a little info that might prove kind of useful for those who do not actually have a FOM (female owners manual).

FIRST: Men and women view relationships very differently. Men are under the foolish impression that if everything was OK yesterday and nothing bad happened since, that everything should be OK today. Men do not question and continue in exactly the same note as previous. Men need zero input to continue a relationship at exactly whatever plateau it is currently on.
Women however re-evaluate relationships every day. Are things as good, worse or better than yesterday? We draw in information from things said, done or not said or undone and form new impressions of the relationship. This comes as GREAT surprise to men when they come home thinking, hey, little dinner, little TV, little sex, man I got it made - and BAM! They are blindsided because we could not help but notice a particular pattern of not putting the toilet seat down, saying "i love you" etc., that has caused us to realize that you are a jerk. BAM! Men never see a vicious fight coming but for women this is plainly obvious and any neanderthal could have forseen it...

SECOND: Every day men wake up the same. Sorry guys, but that has to be the most boring thing in the world, I cannot even imagine living like that... Every day women have a different combination of hormones and BELIEVE ME - we are not the same every day. As a comparison, men are a placid lake. Ya throw a stone, you get predictable ripples. Big stone, big ripples, little stone, little ripples - predictable. Women are like the ocean. We have a rhythm that ebbs and flows. We are a constant state of change. Our reaction to outside forces is really dependant on "where" we are right now. I highly suggest you watch your ass for riptides and be advised that what appears to be still water can run quite deeply.

So my unprofessional suggestions for men to deal with women are pretty simple. Never assume everything is OK just because it was yesterday. Do you still love us? Tell us so. And as far as other things go, well, always test the water before you jump in!

DON'T WELD WHEN YOU'RE NAKED!!!!

Hey Angela!
Thanks for stopping in, I hope that we didn't/don't offend you too much.
So, with that ...

Hate to say it but there are a few of us

neanderthal

guys poking around for good ideas for "single guys" and this is the spot apparently.


However, I do agree with a lot of what you are saying and really deserves a thread of it's own.
Went ahead and did that
Could you quote yourself? I was going to but wasn't sure if that was right ...


Since this is the single guys area:

I'd like to check what you are saying. Men should be more aware of what is coming? Ummmm,

Maybe women should also be aware that we are the slower mating partner and that we do leave the toilet seat up.
Which brings the question, why should it stay down outside of common courtesy? Is it my fault that my partner/wife may sit on the cold rim in the middle of the night without checking first? I would think that would be a very awakening experience!

This probably should have gone in the new thread ?

[Bill Douglas]

Hey Angela, I'm sure we've met before...

[Laneco]

Sapporo - no - not offended in the least by this thread. I long ago accepted that men and women think very differently. Frankly, I enjoy the differences and much prefer the company of men to that of women (friendship wise). Since I'm not a guy this forum is a good opportunity to see things from the man's point of view. Okay sometime a little scary, but very enlightening none the less.

Random pickup item - a really friendly dog. Women LOVE friendly dogs. Get one of those retractable leashes so when the dog sees the lady he can zip over and "accidently" get kinda tangled around her. If a guy has a friendly dog women think "nice guy, kind-hearted, nurturing," lots of positive thoughts that are most beneficial to the pickup artist.

But what is a slab?

You need two GFs to keep a clear head.

You need three GFs to be nonchalant.

Nonchalance throws off a brand new GF's mission plan. They are humbled into being aggressive before you get away.

Do men or women in Virginia have no other options to attract a partner?

Watch What You Hang From Trailer Hitches
17 hours ago

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Drive across Virginia with an outsized rubber replica of testicles dangling from your trailer hitch and you face a fine under a bill before the General Assembly. Delegate Lionel Spruill introduced the legislation Tuesday, saying the sight of masculine genitalia is a safety issue because it distracts drivers.

Spruill, a Democrat from Portsmouth, would make display of the ornamentation on a motor vehicle a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $250.

He says the idea came from a constituent whose young daughter had spotted the facsimile sex organs and asked her father to explain them.

The Virginia legislature has some experience with offbeat bills. Three years ago, it attracted worldwide attention for its effort to outlaw baggy pants worn so low they expose underwear.

I'm leaving this state anyway, but these fines will be repealed in a few weeks. It's guaranteed.

share your brilliance with the group, maybe even share what you thought was brilliant but left you no more than the foo in the rain..

[Superman]

Yes, hilarious indeed.

BTW, Angela, you are right. Men are even-keeled for the most part. And yes, we are at times taken by surprise when a woman suddenly and unexpectedly expresses emotional concerns in the absence of apparent stimulus. In the absence of stimulus that comes from anywhere OUTSIDE her imagination. Nevertheless, many of us are happy to discuss those concerns and internal emotional developments and indeed they are often helpful in forming and defining the relationship.

But here's the part that should be meaningful to you: While many of us are somewhat willing to discuss and work through those emotional interpretations, torpedos will be regarded as acts of aggression. I suppose some men, at least temporarily, will rise to the bait and meet your concerns and challenges with renewed romantic vigor......will accept your assertion that behavior must improve......but some men will not. And few men will rise to that bait regularly, permenently. And......I'm not sure you'd like spending your life with one of those poor saps that will accept constant criticism permanently.

So in other words, yeah, the emotional roller coaster is acceptable to a point. I personally do not need my life tossed into an upheaval, periodically and unexpectedly. That is not the role I invite a woman into my life to play. The role I want played can include discussions about concerns, but upheaval is not in the play book. Just a suggestion. Women sometimes seem to enjoy emotionally slapping guys around sometimes. That is a dangerous game. With some men, the downside to that tactic will outweigh the fun.

Couldn't have said it better myself Sup. Bravo, the next beer is on me!

[Shaun @ Tru6]

OK, boys, here's how it's done. I was just signing up for a Boston Entrepreneurs Meet-up event where I was encouraged to welcome new members.

First I see some nice welcomes, but then see this one:



Granted, she is attractive, but this guy could have just gone to an event and talked with her directly.
