12 Aug 06 - 04:37 PM (#1808281) Subject: BS: Women are from Earth. Men are from Earth From: Dave the Gnome Sorry people. The rumour is not true. We are both from the same planet. We are just different. Just as you look and think differently from your boss or neighbour chances are you will look and think differently from your husband or wife. The washing machine need not be a mystery. In either operation or maintenance. North is always in the same direction. But it does no harm to ask occasionaly. If she asks 'does my bum look big in this?' it is not a test. It is a question. If he is staring at your boobs he is not demeaning your value. He just likes boobs. Remember we are all sometimes creatures of both simple pleasures and complex emotions. Cheers DtG |

12 Aug 06 - 05:53 PM (#1808327) Subject: RE: BS: Women are from Earth. Men are from Earth From: Ebbie As to the washing machine, for years on television the 'salesperson' would demonstrate its features and intricacies to the man. This was back in the day when no self-respecting, red-blooded macho man would have thought of stuffing dirty clothes into a machine, but somehow the TV moguls thought of the woman as being incapable of comprehension. "If she asks 'does my bum look big in this?' it is not a test". Oh yes, it is. What we want at that point is reassurance that #1, it does not make it look big and #2, that if it does, you like it. :) |

Answers for the above that are PC: 1) Read the directions. 2) Read the direction. 3) If she's making reference to you while she's talking with a friend . . . . 4) If you are topless, distract him by putting on a shirt. |

12 Aug 06 - 10:42 PM (#1808490) Subject: RE: BS: Women are from Earth. Men are from Earth From: Slag "He loves boobs?" I gotta tell ya that we are ALL born loving boobs, male and female alike. It's the closest thing any of us will ever have to a "free lunch". I guess men never get over them but women do, especially when they get a pair of their own to lug around the rest of their lives. Still and all the are lovely, soft, accomodating. They are one of the most perfect shapes in nature and an artist's delight. What utility! Thank you ladies, all, from the small to the large, from the missing (God bless) to the unusual (never mishapen) each has it's own allurement, it's own admirers. |

Men are from Earth From: Peace "I don't recall seeing the "youth" quote in Clemmons' writings but I have heard it attributed to him." The quote is from GBS. However, Sam Clemens did say words to the effect: "When I was fourteen my father knew very little. Now that I'm twenty-one, I'm surprised to see how much he's learned in seven years." |

For the women looking for nuance, there is PLENTY to be had from responses to that second question, and the nuance of the sentence itself is never "looking for a fight" or "my gosh I'm insecure" as it can be with the first. You know, some clothes don't look so good on certain shapes... nothing wrong with the shapes, just don't buy those clothes! |
