Well guys, and I do mean guys, it looks like we're becoming less and less necessary.

In light of this recent article, it looks as if sometime in the future ((given that experiments like this one succeed)) us guys could become a completely unnecessary part of our society.

Thing is, I know many people who would be very happy about that. I don’t know, I just think it’s kind of sad. I guess we better start learning how to be even more cuddley and supportive than we already are. I’m not saying that men will become unnecessary… just that it’s a possibility. Oh well…

This may seem angstish(sp?) to some, but I, personally would like to hope that my gender retains some kind of purpose on this planet. Maybe a few of us will get to hang around to kill bugs or something.

Again… oh well. I hope I don’t come off like a jerk posting this. And if I offended anyone with my astounding stupidity and immaturity… I apologize.

Don’t be silly. Without guys, who would squash bugs?

But seriously, I don’t think there’s any chance that men will ever become obsolete. There are plenty of women like me who love men and want to keep them around, silly critters though they are.

Simetra, fear not. I see us as being somewhat useful in the (at least) near future. I mean, would the whole “making babies” thing be fun if it weren’t a duet? I doubt it.

Tripler
Besides, who else would pay for dinner on the first date? :smiley:

There will be a need for pampered pets after the revolution. :smiley:

Well, my point exactly! And who’s going to paint my toenails for me, and “Be a sweetie, while you’re up, can you get me a glass of water”, and buy me flowers?

I mean, let’s get serious here. :wink:

If men do become pets, are we limited in how many we can have and do we have to get them licensed?

I don’t know anything about the future.

But I’d like to say (on this particularly hormonal day):

Good Lord do I love men. I don’t give a rat’s ass about squashing bugs or buying dinner.

I love men’s bodies. I love biceps and treasure trails and nicely developed trapezius muscles, and tattoos and smoking and men who are dirty and sweaty and greasy and their hair is in their eyes and they’ve got a beer in their hand…and…oh my god…

where’s that welder?

jarbaby

jarbabyj… thank you. It’s women like you who’ll ensure that my gender still has a purpose in the year 2053. :slight_smile:

I don’t know… I guess it’s just my irrational fear of being replaced.

Even if we become pets, BunnyGirl, I know I’d be that finicky little cat that gets extremely jealous if the master gets a new one. :wink:

i’ve been saying we guys are going to faid into obseletetion for years, and it might actually be a good thing, for wars, and other such useless pasttimes as golf and football, to end, we(humans) must evolve socially, for us(humans) to evolve socially we(humans) could learn to live without us(men). and i think in reality that may have already started, but im also slightly paranoid at times so i could be wrong.

Not if I pet you right, you won’t.

:smiley:

If women didn’t really like men, we would have started our decline with the invention of the Symbian :slight_smile:
No, I think we’re here to stay, just look at the reaction jarbaby gets thinking about us (the proverbial us.) Oh, and Bunny

Meow!

Hehe… :slight_smile: <blush>

I’ve already got someone to change my litter-box tho’. <points at his collar> :wink:

[sub]this is declining, but I cannot resist[/sub]
:calls out:
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Just playin’ with ya, Simetra. I’m collared too. :slight_smile:

Relax, guys. Even if we DO become obsolete for reproduction, there are quite a few females around who like us for practice, anyway. And we’d still be around for, as Tim Allen said, “lawn care and vehicle maintenance.”

I assume you mean Sybian. Cus Symbian just isn’t doin’ it more me.

And a Sybian doesn’t have a tongue.

Ack! Gaudere’s Law. “isn’t doin’ it FOR me.” And damn VB Code. Ack!

So, my gender will get to squash bugs, pay for dinner, paint toenails, get water, service females, and weld? In return we get to be “pampered pets.”

Ummmmm… Where do I sign up?

You take that back, right now!

Oh, silly Hamlet. You don’t get to be a pampered pet. You’ll be a sorry slave. :frowning:

To quote Banky from Chasing Amy: All every woman really wants, be it mother, senator, nun, is some serious deep-dickin’.

Nuff said. :smiley:

No sperm?

WOO! :smiley:
