So......we're basically doing and talking about guy stuff, but within the constraints of the boundaries set by the females here.  It's like we're having a poker game with our significant others sitting in the room listening in on our conversations so we have to like what we say.  OP is basically making all of us menfolk feel like we did when we were married/ together.  Genius!

Oh, yeah, and Pats by 14 Sunday.

Sadly , that probably is the way it will go as already demonstrated and we haven't even finished page two yet . But hey , worth a try !

Ok here goes nothing. As a woman I would expect to hear some women bashing on this thread! We do it - so why can't you? If women don't like what is being said then they don't have to be here!
I haven't been on this forum long but the thing that I have observed is how in touch the men here are of their feelings and the fantastic ability you all have to express yourselves.

I have a friend that is teaching me to think and talk male - helps me understand my xp and some of the craziness that is happening with him at the moment. From what I can gather men have two emotions happy and angry. Angry covers every emotion but happiness. So I would expect to see angry men on this thread that don't feel they have to tone it down for us ladies. Please correct me if I am wrong but a lot of anger that men show comes from pain, hurt, frustration, guilt etc. as women the best gift we can give our men is the opportunity for you to let rip when you need to. We need to accept that this is how most men deal with life and suck it up and let you go forth and spew! This was something I didn't allow my xp to do and he ended up imploding.
Hawk it would sadden me if didn't feel you could use this thread in the way it was intended.

Kia Kaha - stay strong

Isn't the idea of this forum to get you back together again anyway or to make you whole and healed so you can be a better YOU.
I am Not sure that degrading women is the way to do that,
.knowing what women find attractive is not a bad thing.

I must admit that Thundarr's sarcasm made me snigger and OP - thanks for setting this up - great idea. I promise not to lurk....

Gents - one of my best friends in all this malarky called MLC has been a man. He has been good to me, told me like it is and also believes in me. Thank you for those of you who have posted on my threads showing support for me especially OP who set me very straight one day and I will always be grateful.

See you all on the other side!!

Hmmm a tad disappointed i must say. I do not promise not to lurk

Perhaps as a woman i can start you off a little. I have never been a great fan of women i will be honest. I had mommy issues too. There are a lot of generalised female traits that i find really unattractive. In this mess i decided to try and change my perceptions and looked around to find females that inspired me. I am afraid that i have not really achieved this.

Whilst i do see some females who are genuinely good people i find a whole lot more who aren't . Why i don't know but the main thing i find is how utterly competitive the female race is. Only really with each other in general terms and with men in business.

I have read book like the script, the men in mid life crisis etc and it really annoys me when it is written how us women have to concentrate on not letting ourselves go and be attractive to men. Why do we have to do that, because men are visual creatures? Yes initially but you can be a seriously attractive person with nadda inside. But women believe that stuff, therefore a lot of women will go to great lengths to be better than the next one. Pay attention to ME, not her!!!

Strip women down, take away their make up etc etc and there lies the real beauty. Yet we all conform.

What do you guys feel are your pressures from women? How far do you try to conform?

Okay, time to start some manly discussion here.  How many point do you guys think the Patriots are going to win by on Sunday?

It depends on how many spy cams and air pumps they can get their hands on.

They would have won if they were playing with a bar of soap.  btw---I'm making deflated meatballs for Superball Sunday (and yes I live in Patriots-land)!!

And MONEY and sex isn't what it's all about..Have you figured that out yet?

I have not figured this out yet... 

Sorry guys, I'll jump back to the other threads, I just find men more fun.

Superball Sunday

Before you guys attack me, spellcheck did that I swear...lol

Typical women... Just coming around looking for drama! Just kidding... I think this is a great idea but suspect we will find much less woman bashing then expected.

Put Me down as a fan of women.

We sometimes talk about female competition in a negative view but you don't have to look too far back to see it as a survival Mechanism.

The vast majority of humanity we've been gene selecting within small tribes of a 100-150 hunter gatherers, much of our "negative" behaviors make sense.   Back then tribe rank would have been very important and finding a strong mate for our pair bonding increased The survival rate for kids....so female competition gets baked into our gene pool.  Those who chose not to had a lower survival rate.  Today where rank is less clear that translates to good provider or good fighter-defender and sometimes to badass or alph type qualities.

Lots of things can be explained by that.  For example why are women louder in bed.. As scientist describe it:  female copulation vocalization.   Quite gender specific.   Scientist study it across species and it is most common in species with high female competition.
