And why am I so skeeved out by the fact? Nothing cracks me up like a fart, but I don’t find them cute. A quote I heard from one of my guy friends at a party a few weeks ago: “If a fat ugly nasty girl lets one rip, it’s disgusting! But if a cute girl lets one loose it’s cool…maybe even a little erotic” WTF??? When I was little, my dad accidently walked in on me while I was doing my business, he went “Awwwww are you pooping? :)” The first example had more of a sexual undertone :eek:, the second example had more of a undertone that flatulence/defecation is cute like puppy dogs, sunsets, and lolipops. But these are just two out many many examples that I witnessed. But all had one thing in common the pooter was female. ---

Because if a hot girl farts it means she is a fallible, imperfect human like everyone else. Also she is probably self conscious after the fact, which makes her easier to talk to (self conscious people don’t reject you as brutally). That is my take on it. ---

It’s not cute. It’s side-splittingly funny. ---

Got me. Women farting is disgusting. They eat too much crap like pesto and 3 bean salad. However, it is possible to have a cute fart, like those accidental farts you do while you’re walking. ---

She’s already cute. The fart makes her seem approachable. ---

Maybe if it was short and really squeeky, it would be a cute fart. The fartee makes no nevermind to me. ---

Sorry, but I was raised to believe that classy people didn’t fart in front of other people. And for sure they didn’t make a remark about it afterward to draw even more attention to their bad manners. I learned at a very early age to “clench” and walk to where there were no other people. ---

Where I come from, it was a courting ritual during school dances for a boy and girl to clench but only until the last dance. At that time, they both drop their pants, back up close to each other (cheek to cheek) and and participate in the Farting Raspberry Polka. Awards were given to a winning couple for volume and duration. I guess I was raised a bit different. ---

Because women do not fart, belch, or snore. If we didn’t bitch, we would explode. :: d & r :: ---

> [@Dogzilla](#): > > Because women do not fart, belch, or snore. My wife would add more to this list. Women also never: - poop in public - have gravy stains - age past 29 - be anything other than shocked at armpit farting Also, there’s a worldwide conspiracy to calibrate all washing machines to shrink women’s jeans, and only women’s jeans. ---

I guess I was raised a bit different. When I was young, farting was the equivalent of “going steady.” If the guy farted on the girl, that meant they were “serious.” Girls would ask each other, “did he fart for you yet?” ---
