brazil84: preening, sexist, self-imortant, gynophobic douche

You should try the complicated kind.

Androstenelione?

I can’t speak of everyone, but reading the quoted in the OP, nowhere do I see where Brazil stated that all women wanted one thing. It’s more along the lines of someone disagrees with Brazil’s views or preferences, so they feel the need to point out he’s <enter disparaging adjective here>.

Not exactly sure how that works, but it doesn’t.

Simplicity is often the best measure/solution.

Except my sweet, sweet love!

There are no two things all women want! swoon

Don’t forget: we also want to go out with a guy who loves to listen and enjoys designing furniture and then having a conversation about where it could be placed in a room.

Money and sex.

So what do I win?

I actually know an assexual woman who lives with very little money, by choice (she is heavily involved in volunteer work).

So… wrong again.

And who can drive! 'Cause we’re bad at that.

Fine. Food and sleep*.

Nah. I know an anorexic who thinks sleep interferes with getting things done.

Well, but that’s true of all humanity! Who doesn’t love designing an innovative futon that can also serve as a wardrobe and lemonade stand? WHO DOESN’T?

Sleep sucks.

And I’m so good at it, too.

I hear what you’re saying and will discuss it in detail once I put the finish on this coffee table that will really open up the room if placed 24" in front of the center of the couch.

…she said, waving her gun around.

Air! You can’t do without air!

Must…be…right…about something!

Like I’m going to let a bunch of women tell me what women like, anyway. How many scientific message board field reports have you published?

Ahead of you on that one. I always do.

Really? I must hang out with the wrong people, then. Most of the ones I know (even those who are in a traditional man-works, woman-stays-home-with-the-kids relationships) do not “wholeheartedly agree” with the idea that the man is the leader of the family/head of the household. This is an archaic notion. A marriage is a partnership. The partners might choose to divide the roles in more traditional ways, but I would be willing to wager that most families look at it more this way than “man as leader.”

Me, I have a big problem with the idea that just because men have outies and women have innies, they get to be the boss. That’s the most asinine notion I’ve seen in awhile. If there’s even a “boss” (as in, person who makes most of the decisions to guide the family) I think it should be mutually agreed upon and be the more intelligent and better decision-making person, not the man by virtue of the fact that he was born with a penis.

Ugh, this is a hot button for me. I don’t care how individual couples choose to conduct their relationships (as long as both are happy with the decision), but to extrapolate this to most couples…ugh. I didn’t grow up in the Fifties and I’d rather not go back there, thanks. If this was even true in the Fifties.

I wouldn’t blame you. It’s said, after all, that ignorance is bliss.

You’re good at… which of them? Sleeping, or… :smiley:
