100 things men should know about women

no lol,Boys are smarter and stronger and can do anything and everything better then girls.

That means the other 50% is good stuff and that's 50% more than most guys started out with.

That is exactly what you'd say to make us think that, isn't it? Devil woman!

You're both right. :-)

Ditto.

My wife was pretty upfront with me regarding the number of guys she'd slept with...@!$%#, I think we had that conversation even before we ever had sex...I think it was 8 or 9, but I honestly don't remember, or really care.

73. Over the course of her life, a woman will use 10 men for every one she loves. If you lent her your car or helped her move and didn't get laid, you're one of the 10.

* I think its 10 of 10, but, call me crazy.

You are so funny, mat&t. You forgot mention that a man will do ANYTHING to get his hotdog in some woman's bun. And the only reason those 10 guys did anyone for a woman was to get laid. LOL

I'm almost ashamed to admit that you are completely right, Gwenny.

I think it goes both ways...there's plenty of women who have guy friends who they know damn well want more than that, and will happily keep them going just long enough to get them to do stuff for her, just as there are plenty of guys who will stick around doing @!$%# they hate, in hopes of getting some, eventually.

I don't know, Pev... I think there's a lot of truth to

79. Never trust the woman who gives you the best blow job you've ever had.

Don't you? ;-)

No, actually, I don't. I mean, sure, maybe if you want to date a pristine, inexperienced virgin, and if that's the case, knock yourself out; you're on your own. I've been with pristine, inexperienced virgins. They aren't a lot of fun in bed. Me, personally? I'd rather have a girl who knows what she's doing and isn't scared to do it. And if she can show me a trick or two? All the better.

Also, I don't live my life scared to death I might someday secretly get really unbelievably great head from a dude in a wig. Y'know, just in case that's where you're going with that one.

Thanks, Pev. I'm noticing a lot of woman-bashing in threads lately and it's making me question being a part of Newsvine.

You provide a small counterbalance here and I appreciate it.

I can't help but wonder if so many of these ugly comments would be trampled on if they were about other groups... the handicapped, different races, different religions; pick your label.

It's very disheartening to see that so many men think so very little of my gender.

I've just as much "men bashing". Come on, this was supposed to be funny. I laughed myself silly on some of them.

I agree with Gwenny. This is supposed to be fun. This list looks like something that would be in Maxim anyway.

Oh, I have a sense of humor. Perhaps this is just the straw that broke the camel's back? And it's less the article that concerns me than some of the responses to it.

84.Sixteen percent of American men have been with a prostitute—scientific proof most women are decent in bed.

* Proof also that most women thrive on getting things. And, most guys thrive on buying those things. This especially increases if the parties have a sexual relationship. Given that, and without stretching the definition of prostitute at all, this number could easily become 90% of American men.

79. Never trust the woman who gives you the best blow job you've ever had.

* Forget blowjobs, you can't trust anything that bleeds for 7 days, once a month, but doesn't die.

Actually, I'm quite certain it's just the last straw for me. Over here is where I really got depressed.

Why did this article depress you? I hadn't read it before, but he seems to have come to a reasonable, acceptable conclusion based on his own experiences. He's not trashing women. He's saying he just can't deal with them. That's not unreasonable. That's not a reason to be depressed.

Of course, the only reason I'm not a lesbian is that I would have to be involved with women and I just don't understand them.

Yeah, read past the article and soak up all the responses -- and the author's true feelings come out in his responses to readers.

I suspect there's more to you not being a lesbian than an apparent inability to understand women. :)

These articles are funny because stereotypes pulled out and listed make them so absurd and thus funny. Kinda like Eddy Murphy movies, fun in small doses.

I liked Mr. Lewis's article and emphasize somewhat though I think he is drawing the wrong conclusions. I haven't been able to articulate my own thoughts well enough yet to comment directly on it though. I didn't take away from it that he was bashing women though.

No, that pretty much covers it. I find women very attractive on many sensory levels and deeply enjoy giving them pleasure, but having to deal with drama and tears and betrayal keeps me from being seriously involved with one outside of multi-partner relationship where the man has to absorb most of the suffering. If I could find a lovely, fleshy woman who liked to play WoW and wasn't going to blog about our relationship on her LiveJournal everytime I pissed her off, I'd marry her. LOL

Yes, some part of me really hates the mother who tried to kill me then spent 20 years abusing, humiliating and guilting me. I'm trying to work on it, but I keep getting women therapists. ::giggle::

You really must read the comments -- from readers and many from the author -- to truly get a read on the ideas floating around.

Then again, maybe I am overreacting. Maybe every other woman in the world is a gold-digging, heartless @!$%# who cares nothing about feelings and only derives from pleasure from bank accounts.

It's just... I have all these other people I know -- females, too -- and they are nothing like that description either. Perhaps every other woman is in on it together? Is it all a big prank being pulled on me? Did every other woman in the world get a handbook on being empty, soulless and less worthy than the poor, poor men who are being so terribly abused by them?

Because that's some key info.

Oh, and Gwenny: the lesbian comment was a throwaway bit designed to make you smile... not intended to insult or spur you to share your dark personal experiences.

You really must read the comments

No, I really don't have to . .I assume there are things there that will piss me off and I have some self control. LOL I only suck at avoiding stupid conversation about global warming. Ignore the author. ::shrug:: My ignore list is about as third as big as my friends list. (Hmm, wonder how many ignore lists I'm on?)

Then again, maybe I am overreacting.

Could be. We each have our buttons. Mine is global warming. My blood pressure goes up whenever I see people spewing the current media line without having any real idea what is involved. Maybe you just need to click "stop tracking" when one gets on your nerves? And learn to recognize which ones are going to set you off.

You really must read the comments

No, I really don't have to .

Of course. You absolutely don't have to do anything. I'm not even sure why you responded as such. But you said you didn't see anything wrong in the piece and couldn't see why I would be upset. I was saying that the upsetting bits were in the author's responses, where his feelings about women are really revealed.

Understand. Your simply weren't clear that it was the comments, not the article that bothered you. As I said, I didn't read it when I saw it -- I knew from the title that it would probably spark poo flinging by 20something men and just didn't bother reading it. Much as I like men, they can be boorish and ignorant and driven by their gonads. :D

I feel sad that this man has been victimized like he has, but my knowing there are decent women out there does not invalidate his experience and I feel no need to try to change how he feels nor do I feel threatened by it. ::hugs:: It's tough enough to be a woman just living our lives without going to look for reasons to be pissed at men or taking everything they say seriously. I choose to see the humor where I can and just let the rest go.

As a side note:

95. The sight of you in your socks and underwear is the biggest turnoff in the world.

I just got back from my doctor's office. There in the waiting room was the latest issue of Vanity Fair (uh, or some issue of Vanity Fair...I didn't look at the date). On the cover?

Brad Pitt, soaking wet, in his boxers and socks.

Yet another one debunked, guys.

Hey, I recognize that this is humor. I'm all about the humor. But me? I'd be more poking fun at the guys who'd be naive enough to believe this stereotyped crap than I would

(grumble, trackpad got away from me) ...be poking fun at the hypothetical women it's supposedly talking about. Like I said, any guy who approaches women as if this is what they're like is going to end up with what he expects, and he deserves it.

And he leaves the good ones for the rest of us. Where's the problem?
