I do the same thing. Very frequently when talking to female friends I’ll say something like “Even if you don’t like the new Sherlock Holmes, it’s worth watching for the hot boys” when the ‘boys’ in question are 44-year-old Robert Downey Jr. and 37-year-old Jude Law.
I think it’s totally a carryover from my junior high/high school days.
Boys. Teehee!
I don’t mind it when women use the term ‘boys’. I find it endearing in a way. My female coworkers who are adults say things like ‘going to meet a boy’ or ‘cute boy’ and things like that. I actually like that for some reason over the term ‘man’. Man is so serious.
No woman I’ve met thinks Aqua Teen Hunger Force is funny. But me and my guy friends enjoy it.
There’s body wash, there’s shampoo, and if you’re an overachiever, conditioner. That’s 3 bottles of stuff max should be in your shower. Why, oh why, are there 17 bottles of stuff in our tub, 2 of which are mine and 15 are my wife’s?
That’s not true. Remember when those mock ballet slippers became trendy (I don’t know, maybe they still are)? Definitely not cute on fat feet but may be considered cute otherwise.
I wish men would realize that not all women are the same. I get mad too when somebody insists that I’m upset/angry/whatever and I keep trying to tell them I’m not. Then when I’m like “HEY, WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY?!” they’re like “Ah-ha! See?! You ARE mad!” Well, YEAH, now I am.
So men do the “What’s wrong? Seriously, what’s on your mind? What’s bothering you? Why are you mad? Are you okay? Let’s talk. What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?” thing, too.
Also, when I say “I don’t want to talk about it,” it’s not because I’m secretly seething that you haven’t already guessed what my problem is and started the ass-kissing for it. I just don’t want to talk about it with you right now. And maybe I never will want to but then it becomes Not Your Problem, so shut up and stop worrying about it.
I’ve tried telling guys this, too, and I think most of them think I’m full of shit because “chicks are crazy”.
Oh well.

This is why men make better computer techs, we have a more intuitive grasp of windows file system…open space, drop it there, not enough room for all of it, move to next open space, drop it there.
I not only like Aqua Teen Hunger Force but I record Robot Chicken everynight to watch when I get home from work. I can’t be the only woman that likes these shows. :dubious:
And we have a winner.
The real answer is a man could go out and get laid and it would mean nothing except he had some fun. It would not mean he didn’t love his wife or family.
PS I never did it. But I know lots of men who have and do.
ATHF isn’t always funny (but sometimes is). Robot Chicken is usually funny and horrible at the same time.
Something some men will never get is that all women are not alike, and we’re just human beings like they are. If you keep dating the same type of woman, and you don’t like what they do, try to make sure your next girlfriend doesn’t do whatever it is you hate instead of generalizing that all women are X.
I have to be in love to even want to have sex. Obviously I needn’t mention my gender…
Male here:
-
The reason I don’t want you to throw away my stuff is the exact same stupid reason(s) you don’t throw away YOUR stuff.
-
Men don’t close cabinets or drawers because, quite simply, we can’t tell how it much better it looks closed. Really, it looks the same to us. On the other hand, we never close the sock drawer because socks need to breathe. Underwear too.
-
Men never raise the seat because we’re that confident about our aim.
-
When men are 13 years old, they’re called “toys.” When we turn 30, the codeword changes to “tools.”
-
Men are secretly jealous because you get to throw an absolute, complete tantrum, be a total asshole AND get a free pass for it every 28 days.
-
The reason men watch sports is the same reason women crave chocolate: DNA.
Everybody: please understand that whether someone needs to talk about problems in order to solve them or think about them before being able to talk about them does NOT depend on crotch content.
Thank you.
This.
Tool. If you know women who use their periods to act any differently at all, you need to get some new friends. Any woman who does this makes the rest of us look bad. Don’t be confident about your aim. I have never craved chocolate. I can only hope that your post is a big whoosh.
I’m confident in my aim. Your having spotted urine on a toilet seat doesn’t affect how accurate my aim is. I can practically sign my name in the snow! 
You gotta drink a lot of beer before you can spell out AClockworkMelon, huh?
First off, CrazyCatLady, this is quite wonderful:
Female: As noted up thread, all women are not alike. I have a few pair of shoes, most of which I don’t wear because they hurt my feet. I hate shopping for anything, so I go into a store knowing what I want and I leave usually in under ten minutes with only the thing I wanted to buy. I love power tools and I know how to use them - a good tool catalog is like pornography to me. Finally, I have had opportunities through failed relationships to take advantage financially - I never have - because it’s not right.

If you say something like “Will it work over there?” out of the blue can you pause for a minute and put some context into the conversation?
I am not a mind reader. I am tired of my life being one non sequitur.

The skill and entertainment value of a sport is not merely measured by how mutherfuckinard the players are. Really, football (soccer) isn’t crap because the players aren’t built like brick shit houses, American Football players aren’t ‘nancies’ because they wear padding. Not all sport involves arm wrestling. Case in point
Cavemen.
