God, I’m sorry Zette, I tried. I really did. > [@](#): > > Those who have experienced negative comments concerning their size are often the first to respond to any perceived slander. Yes, and those who have experienced negative comments concerning their lovemaking techniques are often the first to repsond to any perceived slander. > [@](#): > > THIS IS ONLY FROM THE MAN’S POINT OF VIEW AND DOES NOT INCLUDE WHAT HE WOULD BE DOING FOR HIS PARTNER. So, in other words, dumbass, you’re not going to be showing anything about how men can be more giving and less selfish in the sack? Thus, the crux of my original argument, that your original thread title, “ARE ALL GUYS SELFISH BUGGERS DURING SEX”, was misleading in reference to what was actually contained in that drivel of an OP. > [@](#): > > (GOT IT? THIS IS NOT SELFISH, NOT EGOCENTRIC AND SO ON. Your ass, it isn’t. I’ve taken your sorry-assed OP apart before, Sparky, and I don’t feel like dredging through the shit again. So, I’ll submit my original challenge to you. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO FOR THE WOMAN, MARK? Noticing what she does for you _does not make you unselfish by default, fuckwad!_ Just because you’ve nailed countless perfume-drenched, mall-haired truckstop waitresses/bowling alley floozies doesn’t fukcing make you the God of Selfless Sex, fuckstick. You’ve got to actually do something _gasp\*\*for her_! > [@](#): > > "Big or puffy’ hair can hang around a woman’s face like an ethereal halo, shining, sparkling and accenting her looks tremendously. (The woman who takes extra time to do her hair before sex, in my book, is a real PLUS!) Ok. So what was offensive about that? You mean besides the fact that you seem to promote the notion that the ideal sexual partner is Flo from _Alice_? > [@](#): > > If your man doesn’t do that automatically in the sexual act, then you probably are screwing a stone. No, they’re probably screwing a man who does all this stuff and _then something for his partner as well_, not a stone. Though undoubtedly, most would prefer either to you. > [@](#): > > Now, you all jumped on the attack by stating that I said this was the ONLY way and accused me of being selfish by not considering the other aspects of the person, NO, we jumped on you because you waltzed into the wrong forum (GQ), announced how fucking great a lay you are, and then proceeded to delineate your ideal sexual experience and proclaim it as the most unselfish, giving thing a woman on this planet could experience. And after all this time, I have yet to see you post _one goddamed thing_ that goes deeper than looking or sniffing at your victim/partner/big-haired ugly-bumping angel. > [@](#): > > but did I not state that it was not the ONLY way After no-one bought your Casanova routine, you sure did, champ! Bully for you! > [@](#): > > Anyone who can glibly come up with such insults and slander without pause and has obviously had much practice with them is not what I would consider a nice person. That stings.

Oh, now you’re just making it _too_ easy, sport. > [@](#): > > Anyone who can glibly come up with such insults and slander without pause and has obviously had much practice with them is not what I would consider a nice person. And anyone who takes this long to cook up a witty riposte (that means “answer to a thread”, Sparky) like this must’ve grown up either eating lead paint chips or living under power lines. > [@](#): > > Please, by all means enjoy your misery.

Nice Riposte FLYPSIDE. Too bad it didn’t prove anything aside from the obvious fact that you mentally masturbate, though I will acknowledge one, single point. The title to my post, was, upon reflection, misleading. As to everything else in it, I would assume that a moderately intelligent person would have known that the discussion was only concerning a single aspect. In the Very, Very Original post in another forum, I stated that it was in response to discussions from women which I had heard on a talk program where they seem to feel that their male partners A: don’t actually SEE them, B: Don’t pay attention when they ‘fix’ themselves up for them, C: Don’t notice when they use expensive perfumes for them and, D: Seem mainly interested in what is going on between their legs. Period. My post was to disavow that particular fallacy. Get it _ **\SPARKY?** _\Or is that concept a bit too much for the pea brain that rattles around in your empty skull? * * * Mark “Think of it as Evolution in action.” ---

Um. Screwed up that last part a bit. OPALCAT: I would assume that you probably have to take lots of baths from your current size. Besides, most people I know don’t make a practice of slapping perfume on top of a dirty body. Try LAVA the hand soap for MEN. That’ll help scrape the ol’ layers of grime off of you. * * * Mark “Think of it as Evolution in action.” ---

Ok, so because I don’t use perfume, I need Lava soap to remove grime? Oh, and Lava soap isn’t for “men” you sexist pig. When will you get over this weight hangup anyway?

Hey Mark, do you ever just close your eyes and enjoy yourself? After reading your post I have this mental image of a guy with his eyes wide open, mouth hanging open in amazement that he was actually able to get a poofy haired woman in bed with him. ---

Mark, why don’t you pull over into the nervous breakdown lane and give it up already?? This is just sad. “You’re fat and ugly! You stink! I’m rubber and you’re glue- whatever you say bounces off me and sticks on you!” ## Zette (who is neither fat nor stinky, but still couldn’t get laid by MarkS, due to her long straight hair. Sigh…life is so fucking cruel sometimes) Love is like popsicles…you get too much you get too high.

This whole thread is too bloody hilarious. Mark, you are not exactly a popular guy around here. And you seem to thrive on that. Scary… ---

Something is amis here, Mark… You seem to think that someone will “stink” if they don’t wear perfume… When I say that body odor + perfume = nasty you say that most people don’t put perfume on a dirty body… Well duh. But the body will GET dirty, with or without the perfume. Personally, I think you’re better off just being clean and using a good deoderant than stinking up with perfume. …aslo, you seem to think that not wearing perfume makes one more “grimy” than those who do wear it… curious. You truly are a marvel of nature… so little intelligence, yet still able to type. * * * – Teeming Millions: [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions) “Meat flaps, yellow!” - DrainBead, naked co-ed Twister chat O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---
