Why do women £xpect the man to use up all his money on her? Sure, perhaps you don't fancy gifts all the time, but don't come here and tell me that you didn't get jealous when you saw that Jannice from the office(Or Jasmine from school) got a gift from their husband/boyfriend, and then started dropped hints to have your man realise you want something.

I think this is a bit of a misconception, because generally men earn more money, which brings me too:

Equal Rights

Yeah, I agree, women are still not equal in the workforce, and with one company starting a payed Maternity scheme, the push for change is stronger then ever.

However

I think with all the media coverage and such on TV, sometimes it creates a bit too much hot air in the minds of some impressionable people, and they start to take on some warped ideas. Sometimes that's what the Feminist movement can appear to be, a straight up "get rid of men" policy. I do respect their thoughts and opinions, but sometimes can take it way too far.

hahaha, alright i got a question.
theres a girl i like and i'm not sure how to tell and/or find out if its a mutual thing. easy? well its not, theres a couple of problems, the biggest being shes currently in japan, till... january or something. i was planning on getting one of my friends [female] to ask her casually, but shes too busy. i feel that if i ask outright, then [if she does like me] she'll be expecting a relationship, even though shes still overseas, which is not good, because long distance relationships don't last. or. she feels the same way about me, but doesn't want to get into anything while she's still overseas and then it will get weird between us. so yea, should i wait, or should i bite the bullet and ask and perhaps kill our friendship...
and thats if she likes me

It is never too early to find out. You missed a third option. What if she ISN'T interested in you? Better to find out now and have some time to get over before you two start hanging out again than "Welcome Back, I love you!" and having her be weirded out by it...

Out of ten girls how many on average would say like Led Zeppelin

im curious, what do you think about beards and that?

Here we go, a question from me. Kinda your stereotypical 'What does she think of me' question, but I'll post it anyway.
Long story short:
The other week, I told a girl I liked her (well, she pretty much forced me to 'show my hand'; it was on MSN which I wasn't particularly pleased with, but there you go). She then sent me a link to www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Reel-Big-Fish/Ask.html (we're both reel big fish fans), and I asked her out.
We didn't get much of a chance to see each other in the next few days, what with exams etc.
Four days after that, she stopped replying to any texts I sent, and didn't answer the phone when I called. A week after that I got the phone call saying she didn't think it was working.
Now I can deal with that, but I was just thinking that she seemed to like me quite a lot; a mutual friend said so, and with that song as well, then why after a week and a bit would she end it? I would have thought that if she liked me that much she would at least have given it a bit longer.
I dunno, tell me what you think.

If your in England this might seem stupid to you but... here in England paid maternity leave is common. Three of my work colleagues have recently returned from it and two have just gone on it. It seems that here atleast it's the jobs that women are in rather than a pay divide or lack of rights. For example: Nurses, Primary school teachers, office admin; while not the only jobs women are in by any means, are usually filled by women and are lower paid jobs - This drags the average down and the media have a facking field day.

Ok heres my question, it's probably going to be really badly phrased: I know some girls who like a "manly" man and others who laugh at the concept, i also know a few who are further along the scale: By this i mean they are really confident around men, are used to being in a more senior position maybe, refer to them as pets for a joke (but the resulting laugh is nervous) etc.
What proportion of women are like this?? I can't say from the unfortunately small sample that is my group of friends. Also, hows does a man who goes fro that sort of thing be a man and fill that role (this is making NO sense)Rephrase: If i were to be attracted to a woman for this quality among others what do i, a guy used to girly girls, do to fit their criteria..... I'VE GOT IT: What do (neurotic and controlling) women want??
Well it seems so simple now that i phrased it like so.

Also i second the question about beards because until recently i sported a lower-face hugging black number and am considering revisiting it because i don't like being cleanshaven - stubble rules.

PS: I just realised my pic os of a woman so: to confirm for those still not quite sure: I am a man

zachbob2:

Out of my group of friends, 9/10
Out of all girls, considering how many listen to pop or rap instead of good stuff, I'd say 2/10 at best. Which is a sad, sad thought.

broadband:
im curious, what do you think about beards and that?

It's apparent that you haven't read through the entire topic. I don't blame you, it's long. But I think every girl on here had a different answer to that, lol. I personally don't like facial hair. Or hair anywhere but the head, actually. But some women think facial hair is "rugged" and "manly." So it all comes down to what the woman who matters most to you thinks about it; but it's not likely that a girl's going to go "I think he's ugly because he doesn't have a beard."

I have a question, why is it that when a girl says "We can still be friends!" she becomes a total bitch (excuse my language) and creates rumours behind your back, even when she ended it?

InTimeItShallGrow:

Note that not all girls do this, just some. It's not the fact she's a girl, it's the fact that she's immature. Immature boys do such things too.

With that settled, this sounds like a high school situation, am I wrong?

Blayze:
I've recently tried smiling and nodding to people who pass me by as I walk down the street. I've noticed something. Aside from the tiny minority who smile back (Most of them people I already know), most women give me the "You presume too much, maggot" glare and most men give me the "You're a weird knobhead" glare. Interesting, eh?

If I make eye contact with anyone, boy or girl, smile and nod (I dunno, for me, it's kinda like saying 'hi'), they glare back... Very rarely someone smiles back, and they're usually people I know.

One this that I've never been able to figure out, is when is a girl "flirting" with you and when is she just being nice. It obviously depends on the girl, but isn't there some sort of universal action applying to it.

PS: Girls who are self-conscious about glasses, don't be. Rectangular rims are actually quite sexy.

PSS: Small Breasts =/= bad, and very large breasts I find just look bad.

PSSS: Is it weird that I like a girl 2 years younger than me. (I'm 16, she's 14)

ok, I have a weird habit of talking to my girlfriends friends and will say really stupid things, like my retard moment where I declared to her that I like my girlfriend and she just went "Um.......................THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!" and I got a laugh, but is there a point where you should stop doing this? And, how far do most girls like a guy to go, I get to see my girlfriend tomorrow and I don't want to mess anything up.

Also, her recent ex is one of my friends but she never liked him to begin with and he is an asshole, so if he tries to do anything, would it be honorable to deck him? or should I be polite and tell him to stop, and if he tries to fight then kick his ass? (I know i can, as I've kicked his ass before when he took my hat and ate Cocoa puffs out of it... he got his ass whooped for that)

EDIT. Boob talk? Call me a perv (yes, everyone does CAUSE I AM!!) but Im not in the same boat as people who like carpenters dreams. I personally feel that women need something there, and boobs are fun to grab. Again, call me weird, but I can't stand super skinny girls as it makes the difference really weird. I'm kinda a *ahem* bigger guy (Like, height and muscle) so I kinda like more hips and whatnot on a woman. Yup, Im a pervert.

I can't think of any universal signs for "I like you" or "I don't like you, I'm just being nice out of pity," lol. Do you like her too? Are you guys good friends? Or is she just helping you with homework or something?

Indeed. Glasses can be pretty sexy- most aren't very self conscious about them.

Is it a little odd that instead of being that girl with tiny boobs constantly hearing that guys like big boobs, I'm suddenly the girl with big boobs hearing that guys hate them and want little ones? It's certainly a change of perspective, lol.

2 years is generally an okay age difference, even in high school. But at age 14, the part of the brain that rules a person's decision-making isn't fully developed yet, so just don't try to put heavy decisions on her *ahem hint hint ahem*. 14 is a young age to even start dating, I think. *looks around* am I the only one who thinks that? I even agree that I started dating too young, lol.

So let me pose the question to the group: what age do you think it's okay to begin dating? I started dating at 15, and lost my virginity at 16, and I firmly believe that I was too young to be making those sorts of decisions, and I'm skeptical of my 15-year-old brother beginning to date.

Well, she is a casual friend. Yes, I do like her.
And with the 14 year old, I'm definitely not going to ask her to have sex or anything like that, I'm just friends with her. So I'm not going to use peer-pressure on her or anything.

Another PS: Wearing short skirts and open shirts does NOT make you look sexy, it really just makes you look a little like a slut (simply using leggings (I believe there called) can completely ruin that bad image though).

And thanks for the answers.

rayxofxsunshine:

First of all, is she really flirting? and does she flirt with other guys the same way? If she is just being nice, then you know she doesn't have the same feelings for you. If she acts more brotherly than flirty, you know you're in the friend zone. I think the easiest thing for you to do at this point is to think about how you really feel and confess. You never know what will happen, and it's the easiest most straight-forward way to clear the air.

I'm almost certain she is flirting with me, she doesn't lay on anybody else. And I have indeed told her how I feel on multiple occasions most recently we were at her house, and this is where it gets confusing, we kissed. This is what is confusing the hell out of me, before that she told me she doesn't love me like I love her. See how I'm confused? I need a womans advice on what I should do.

Why do girls like to be so intimate/emotional?

Is there any reason why is it scarier to piss off a girl than a guy?

Funny, Smart or Romantic?

This romantic/emotional idea is untrue. Not every girl will always be super open and always go right to love. Some girls (me being the damn luckiest guy because of mine) are alot more level headed and wont get clingy right away, making the person they really do cling to that much more important.

Guys are violent, girls are verbally mean. I can take being hit, but some girls play nasty... in bed...

To really get a girl, you have to be all of the above. Humor puts them at ease around you, smart means you can help, and what girl doesn't like a guy who will hold them and stare into their eyes?

Glasses are great.

Some people have stated a specific dislike for big boobs, but not all of us. Personally, the most important thing is that the boobs fit the body. We're certainly not ALL against large breasted women.

So let me pose the question to the group: what age do you think it's okay to begin dating? I started dating at 15, and lost my virginity at 16, and I firmly believe that I was too young to be making those sorts of decisions, and I'm skeptical of my 15-year-old brother beginning to date.

Going to social things together, holding hands, "dating" at 13+? Fine. Things involving true physical intimacy? I'd say 16, and I'd prefer that the guy be 17 (since we're so slow on the maturity thing). Even then, everyone goes at different speeds, and there's a different age that's probably okay for anyone. On top of that, the right person from the get go is great, and the wrong person at ANY time, especially the first time, is horrible.

Firstly 75% of all retard moments are because the person having said moment is nervous.

Next, if he's such an asshole why do you hang around him? Even if you are good enough friends to do stupid crap like that to each other and its fairly even between the two of you then thats normal(ish) one suggestion would be for both of you to grow up a little.

Liking boobs and curves on a woman doesn't make you a perv, staring at someone who has these attributes for 4 hours while on a bus or at school, and taking the time to catch them without their clothes on does, liking them makes you a man.

No one is currently mad at anyone, but he can say something is ok, then the next minute he can be mad. And we really aren't sure why we hang around him. Sometimes he does funny things, like being caught mooning some punks in a public park and having him mom drive up as he did it.

On the subject of growing up, I don't talk about people behind their back nor do I insult a girl I would like by calling her a whore (he said this after she threw him to the gutter before a party because he was being his usual asshole self and saying something mean)

Also, how short a time is too short to go from woman to woman without seeming like a sleez bag? Its a question I've always wanted a definitive answer too.

babyblueeyes:
i have a question for the guys...and girls,

why is it that SOME guys act all sweet and cuddly when their alone with their girl and when their around their girl and their friends they act like slobs by grabbin ur as# and showing the girl off like some show girl in front of their friends. i asked my guy bout it and he said he jst wanted to make it clear that im all his and nobody can have me. which i understand that completely but some of the things he does rlly makes me feel like he is violating my personal space. what can i do and why does he really do the things he does?

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

well I feel that for some reasons some guy need to claim their territory, which even though im a guy, makes no sense to me. I don't do that I am a nice guy and was brought up to treat others with dignity and respect. I am, as my friend and love interest has told me, that I am a nice guy that makes a good pillow to lay on. basically im comforting and I am a soft person. So being kind to and cuddling with a woman around your friends should be more than enough to let them know that you are serious about each other.

As to this, I am also a guy. I have never experienced that first hand, but usually, as said above, guys need to claim their territory. Even more so if it's a girl that many people would want. If you're the only one who finds her attractive, I don't think you'd have much to worry about. But, us guys are like vultures. Ever heard of the 'rebound'? We guys like to become a girl's 'vice' boyfriend so to speak, so if anything happens to break up the first relationship, the next in line can step in and already have a base to work off of. So, it's only natural that a guy would protect his territory, telling the other's to back off.

All it does is show that the guy has a major lack of disrespect for that girl. There is no other way to take something like that.
