    I remember few if any of the women i knew staying without a boyfriend involuntarily for a long time. Men i know on the other hand (including myself) can frequently have (sometimes long) periods being involuntarily a bachelor in between relationships.

    See I think that's just because men like to advertise the fact they're single more than women.

    Men also tend to fall hard while women play things closer to the vest. Once again this goes back to the fact that women are more calm which when they're single is true however I truly belive that table tunrs as soon as a serious relationship is entered.

    Edit: I have all these theories. College has taught me allot.

    Well I never said I didn't like women, did I?

    Just one question: when women are that smarter, wiser and over all better as you said - why have they been practically rightless in 6000 years of civilisation?

    "They got a beating everytime they tried to make the world a better place" is not a viable answer.

    Because men are stronger and therefore it's eaiser to bash there head in with something blunt.

    Because most of history was based thoroughly on strength.

    Luckily, the weak and pasty guys are looked down upon by both sexes. Ah, the glory of knowing one that is lower than yourself....

    Indeed, and they advertise it because (unlike women) in reality they are not single by choice but by need.

    Men also tend to fall hard while women play things closer to the vest. Once again this goes back to the fact that women are more calm which when they're single is true...
    Agreed.

    ...however I truly belive that table tunrs as soon as a serious relationship is entered.
    I dont think that they are turned as such - i think that women are prone to the act of being in love more than men; it kinda gets in their heads more than in men as it is a great part of their inner life.

    Men approach relationships from a more physical point of view, women more whollistically; this is why in many cases the two sexes find it hard to communicate in bed; men want to express the pressing energetic need and be done with it - women want an act of participation in all levels: psychological and physiological. Men do sex more often with their bodies while women in their minds.

    Edit: I have all these theories. College has taught me allot.
    Indeed it seems you are learning well; good for you

    Also what I don't get is, there must have been a lot of women who secretly told rulers what to do... But never did one say "...give women more rights..."

    Heh - indeed you didnt. All that's left now for you is to learn to respect them and you are ready to go

    Just one question: when women are that smarter, wiser and over all better as you said - why have they been practically rightless in 6000 years of civilisation?
    Well, i never said that women are smarter, i said that they are more mature and they have more life "wisdom" in their early lives than men.

    Other than the proven fact that
    they got a beating everytime they tried to make the world a better place
    , you seem to count success of human affairs in "achievements", forgeting all the while the people that worked hard in order to make households the places that children were provided with the needed food, security and love in order to grow into balanced, self confident people that can go out in the world and "achieve": the women.

    In light of this i would say that they remained rightless due to the enormous ingratitude of men. It is a testimony to their spirit, skills and practicality that they claimed happiness in life (succesfuly many times!) even under these conditions.

    Also what I don't get is, there must have been a lot of women who secretly told rulers what to do... But never did one say "...give women more rights..."
    Well no sane husband, ruler or not, thinks that women are in need of more rights

    Joking aside, women are often the key figures in households - hence the "cherchez la famme" (look for the woman) in every situation. This is a testimony to their spirit and skills, and in no way does it mean that they are not worthy of civil rights - even if many of them in reality could do very well without them.

    Do what I do and change your entire sleep schedule. Sleep from 16:00-00:00. Then play from 00:00-12:00 with your window open and sitting with the sun on you. Rearrange your chair every hour to keep yourself in the sun coming through your window. If you keep at it you can slowly build up a semi normal amount of tan. I did this and I have suddenly lost 10 pounds and all the ladies love me now!

    What in the world makes you compare that to RAM and CPU? The comparison is flawed about as badly as it can be - the two are both unrelated to the original subject, and are related to each other in a different way than the primary example.

    Also there's a contradiction: gollum states that women are both more aware of their flaws and strenghts and can thus use them better. Also they have more life experience (at age 16???).

    Life experience is the sum of mistakes you've made, nothing different. If girls commit less mistakes, their life experience must be smaller, not greater.

    Also I think the difference between the sexes is due to their different role in reproduction. They pick the partners, not we, so it's only natural that they can be more "colder" in that regard and thus show a greater degree of calmness. But when it comes to "real" problems and decision, they are just hopeless. Which is also proved by the great number of women whose charge is way too much for their abilities.
    I don't agree. Maybe this is true for most men, I dont know. But I def turned a lot of girls down. I also have had no problem to pick and choose.

    That's not only me, I know a lot of people who has very little trouble getting the girl they want.

    I think the myth comes from school, where guys usually want to have sex, and the girls decide with who they want sex and when...

    However, when the girls start getting 18+ they are more interested in sex cause of own pleasure, rather than peer pressure...

    And that is when they lose their advantage.

    At even later years, I would say the womens sex-drive vastly exceeds the mens.

    Because women are more competitive with each other. They are too busy stabbing each other in the back and knocking each other down a peg that they can't get organized to take over the world. If they could ever sort out this tendency, women would dominate. They are smarter, more manipulative, and easily capable of controlling the men.

    I'd say that there is a significant amount of truth to that, unfortunately (or fortunately? ).

    I grew up in a household and family with "Total Female Dominance". I respect them (too much I guess) and I actually give them much more room in my life than men (and I DO NOT mean that sexually). But I learned that they are no überhumans and pretty much as stupid as many men...

    Either you are a ski instructor or you are falling to the usual male self halluzination.

    That said every man has turned down girls, I don't question that. But what's turning down, what just not reacting to a flirt? That's a big difference. If you really turn one down that has a serious interest in you, your blood will freeze to ice instantly just from her horrified stare you'll receive. And you'll wish that you never ever have to be anywhere she could reach you. Unless you're suicidal or a masochist.

    And remember to get a firm, sticky connection between the CPU and the heatsink. A sweaty paste of thermal goop helps seal them, allowing heat to throb between the components. Don't press them together too hard, mind.

    You are living in the past Lemur, these days the thermal goop is already on, ready to go whenever you are. This way there can't be any fumbling, just pure unadulterated fun.

    To be honest, if you look for ONS, then I found bartender to be the better job... Of course, ski instructing def helps. And if you combine them...

    Anyway, yes there is a big difference between turning down and not reacting to a flirt.

    But dissing girls is just SO MUCH FUN, specially when they are really hot and not used to getting dissed (I am always nice to ugly girls, it's the good looking ones with bad character I diss hard).

    My favourite diss was some years ago... This plastic bimbo was sitting in the crowded bar at a cool night club, totally dissing anyone approaching her... This of course led to a flock of guys surrounding her, sucking up.

    After a while I noticed how she glanced at me, smiled at me, and so on...

    So why not, I thought.... And pushed my way through to her.

    I very politely asked her if she wanetd to dance...

    "Sure!" she said and jumped down from the barstool...

    "Good, then you dont mind if I take your chair" I replied, sat down, and ordered a beer...

    She looked kind of like a fish on land... Mouth silently opening and closing and a very shocked grimace on her face, eyes clearly stating she had no idea what just happened...

    I hearpeople say girls has more fun, but I doubt it!
