***LEAPS INTO THE FRAY*** YAHOO!Originally posted by the Bear:i await the day where a dude waxing lyrical over the curves of some woman, drolling over her and all that, is not flamed and condemned as being some perverse lechery
I think lots of shades of grey in between ba
E.g John Donne's poetry wax lyrical about curves and puns that are much more than that, but most people won't feel offended about it. Hehheh
This type of thing.. Humm.. doesn't need to have to be a girl vs guy thing. Sometimes its just the personality of the person. HUrhur.. if my guy pals start talking about the curves abstractedly think chances are I'll probably drool along. If they say she's got really toned arms, flat stomach, I will rave in harmony too.
But I guess if the guy start to discuss very specific parts of the anatomy(i am not referring to lips or eyes or ... liver), I might feel a bit awkward depending on how close I am to the guy. But.. some girls I know would laugh out loud and tease the guy too.
In fact, it doesn't need to take a girl talking abt men this way to make a guy uncomfortable. A guy who is speaks very explicitly can make another more conservative guy awkward and embarassed too.
I don't think its wrong or anything. Just that people have different attitudes and tolerance level towards sex. -
simple, just say: is tat a toothpick??!!!Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:In fact, it doesn't need to take a girl talking abt men this way to make a guy uncomfortable.

ahh.. there's the thing...
you get a whole lot of "you go, girl!"
but if a dude says "is that an airport?"
he gets flamed
oh well..
never made it out to be a boy vs girl thing.. always made it out to be a "remember: reverse chauvanism is still chauvanism" thing...
the "you go! girl!" is as bad as a "she's just a girl, can't expect much.."
so don't do it..
the mark of being human and humane is to have that power over someone, and not using it because it's not right..

If my memory serves me well, you DO make comments about females too in outings!
You join in with the other guys too, and look like you're having fun doing it too!
So, don't proclaim that you ain't doin' it, cuz hey, you're guilty of it to a certain degree yourself, Bear!
And hmm... quite a few of us are also acquainted to your comments about pretty girls in here too.

"she's pretty"
uh huh
and what did i get for it?Originally posted by Rhonda:If my memory serves me well, you DO make comments about females too in outings! You join in with the other guys too, and look like you're having fun doing it too!

Well, the way you put it in your posts sometimes, it's almost equivalent to declaring, ''I'm in LUST!'' which I proclaimed. I'm sure you would claim that you did it tongue-in-cheek, and so did I.Originally posted by the Bear:"she's pretty"
uh huh
and what did i get for it?
So what are you saying now? That when you declare a girl droolsome, you're being 'innocent' and when I start to oogle at a man and call him sexy, I'm standing at the edge of your famous claim of ''You go, girl!'' attitude?
Uh huh... sounds like chauvinism here. That and a lot of preconceived notions that's making you so didactic about some light-hearted comments that I just made.
My comments about Christian Bale is equivalent to yours about that news reader and Nigella Lawson. -
i'm sorry... the nicest guy in the world will get hammered...
why is it that the bad guys get the girls?
THINK!!
i've seen with my own eyes..
and it's scary...
a guy differs to a girl because he thinks she's heck of a lot more important than pursuing something which is inconsequential.. to her, he's spineless.. and when he stands for things which are important, she's shocked, and suddenly, he's not spineless anymore but he's turned into a pig..
she cries bitterly and leaves him...
a guy is unreasonable about almost everything, petty or not, and is for all intents and purposes, a pig.. but when suddenly, he decides to differ to her because he cannot be bothered, he's suddenly the most wonderful person in the world.. because "he cares enough to agree with me"
she sticks by him...
the chinese saying comes true.. alas...Originally posted by tare:a guy say such stuff cos he's a pig....

Hmm... wonder if Deathy will step in tonight. He still hasn't told us which branch he'll be at!

sbst, did you know that ivillage has a week-by-week account of what happens in pregnancy? I think you and your wife will be fascinated with the info you can get there!

do i? apart from "
"
has there been more than "she's pretty.." ?
ahh.. i remember a few... that went "uhhh.. i think i'm in love"
and quite a few "i think i'm in lust" (although i cannot remember any now)
and frankly, i would think if there was a chance to move further, i really think it could have been.. more than just a passing acquaintance, more than just a friendship
and hey.. i would say that a lot of it wasn't done tongue-in-cheek... even the " "Originally posted by Rhonda:Well, the way you put it in your posts sometimes, it's almost equivalent to declaring, ''I'm in LUST!'' which I proclaimed.

Wow... which makes you such a huge flirt!
OK, so you weren't saying stuff tongue-in-cheek.
But I am when I talked about Christian Bale. So let up on imposing your judgements on me and thinking that lo and behold I've transformed into some female with an attitude, yada-yada.
Gee... and all I wanted was some fun. -
Evening folks. Did I step into a lovers squabble ?

Awwww....Share share leh ?Originally posted by laurence82:*me hurry off to get popcorns and some cans of coke* -
remember.. you were "proud of it"
and hi ferret
not anything.. just a plea... which started off as a challenge...
for people to treat both men and women the same...
however, most would see it as a "men vs women" thing..
men usually get the short end of the stick.. when a woman bashes a man, he deserves it coz he's a pig.. when a man bashes a woman, he deserves to die because he's a pig...
but in there, there was violence... but somehow, in both scenarios, the man is a pig..
give him a fair shake..
that was the main point.. everyone jumped to the conclusion that i was ornery and all that.. and missed that...
if men are to be condemned for "behaving like lechers"
women who do the same must face the same condemnation...
just like if women get credit for doing stuff, men must get credit for doing the same thing...
give credit where it is due, and give vilification where it is due too... without prejudice..
women do have an advantage and a power over men..
the challenge would be never to use it to your own advantage... for that is the mark of being human and humane.. that is the mark that shows you care..
i guess that was missed by both genders
with that, goodnight cult leader.. forgive this bear for he is not a blank-eyed disciple..
and goodnight ferret

Oh horrors!!!Originally posted by Ferret:Evening folks. Did I step into a lovers squabble ? 
No, you definitely didn't! You just stepped into a squabble, period! -
And once again, I repeat, I was just having fun jesting! Oh forevermore... and then you had to step on your pedestal and rain judgement on errant women and all that.
Whatever happened to your sense of humour?! -
I aint interested in your "popcorn" *gRinz*Originally posted by laurence82:Nope
