I know what Women want!

“Very cool Lyra! Glad you had FUN!”

“hiya, Tango! yeah, i went down the hill like 3 times, and i was pooped. i'm getting so old! i barely remember the days when sledding didn't feel like work at all. ha!!

the people at my job are major slackers, bearmagnet! yay!!”

“Hmmm, I haven't had a sick day since I started working here! Maybe I should....”

“I'm slacking now! I work mostly in a lab. So posting=slacking for me!”

“OMG I had visions of you out there for hours. When I was a kid, we used to freeze our butts off. To be a kid today with all the new warm fabrics so you don't have to layer up like the Michelin man!”

“So have we reached a conclusion as to what woman want. I'm still curious.

BTW, fellas,,,why mess with the toilet seat when you got a sink right next to it. You wash your hands afterwards don't you?

Next query how many folks have made the mistake of not checking first to see if the seat is down especially on those midnight pooper urges when you're half asleep and forget to turn on a light and just feel you way to the can. You're squating and squating and the next thing you know you're falling backwards in to the comode. Now there is a real 'eye' opener.”

“You mean use the sink? I've seen women at parties do that! I've fallen in probably twice in my life, both when I was young and foolish.”

“EVERYTHING!”

“I can give you everything - or at least convince you of that after your 5th drink.”

“Sorry sweetie I don't drink. I don't need liquid courage. I do what I want and say what I want I don't need help!”

“Well forget it then, there's no way I could spin such a tale and have a sober women believe it!”

“What women want: to feel safe.
What men want: to feel strong

Each person is unique in what they need to satisfy these needs.

For some women, it's knowing that they will not drown in the toilet in the middle of the night!”

“You wont drown, I'll dive in and save your butt! I promise. Fall in a second time, however, and your on your own!”

“LOL@ bearmagnet!

Good answer!”

“Perhaps a life preserver next to the toilet is in order?

For the record, I put the seat back down, and I'm training my son to do the same. It's just common courtesy.


I know, I'll probably get booted from HMWHC for this...”

“I apologize for the horrible sentance!”

“Do you teach your son to use his foot in public?”

“No, I train him to wash his hands...”

“I use my foot and might wash my hands. Ever see a man come out from a stall and either not wash his hands or just use water? I think it's probably safer not to wash.”

“EEEEEEW! Wash your hands, please!”

“You're more likely to drown from huggin' the toilet than from goin' in cheeks-first.”

“what woman want.....


To be able to pee standing up...
oh and to be able to write my name in the snow!
that would beee sooo cool!

M.A.P.L.E.L.E.A.F.

(was that already said?)”

“I've been in some bathrooms that would make you pass out! Since my body is cleaner than the bathroom, and I have no infections, I have no problem not washing my hands in these situations. I'm talking about standing jobs, of course.”

“Why can't you pee standing up? Wouldn't spelling your name in the snow just take some muscle work?”

“well its kinda like if you cant do it, then you really want to do it.

OK?”

“"You're more likely to drown from huggin' the toilet than from goin' in cheeks-first."
Tom

Or (since women are apparently not paying attention) more likely to trip and crack your skull open on there way to the bathroom.”

“....or fall down the stairs.”

“So do it! It's not impossible. I don't think there is anything a women can do that I want to....oh yah...one thing. Can't believe I didn't think of that!

I need more coffee”

“ok boys here it is...the truth..


1. we want the same pay as men.

2. we want to see your eyes when you are talking to us, not the top of your bald head.

3. Not to have guys spit in front of us like we are not even there. its sooo gross

4. farts do smell and lack that little thing that seems to tickle your funny bone instead of us...

5. snoring just SUCKS! (nough said)

6. sports do not need to be on the TV 24 hrs a day. (hint. get up off your back end and take us dancing once in a while)

7. GIVE US THE FREAKING REMOTE CONTROL BEFORE I KILL YOU.

8. Put the tolit seat down, because the water is coolllddd

9. it's ok to give us a hug without it ALWAYS ending up with sex...

10. just love us the way we love you.


JMHO”

“1. OK

2. No problem, I'm not bald

3. Likewise, I wont date a girl that "spits"

4. Yes, but I love a women who can dish it out.

5. The snorer is not responsible for your inability to sleep.

6. Dirty dancing with a late night tango? Only if you promise.

7. I'll give up the remote but Lifetime, TLC, & the Oprah channels are deleted from the set.

8. The toilet is not a chair/couch, look before sitting.

9. How about 90% of the time?

10. I'm trying but I'm not a women.”

“#8. Look before you leap......leaf!”

“1. Honesty and all that implies

2. Empathy

3. The Spark

4. Intelligence

5. Sense of humor and the ability to get mine


This has been my list as far back as I can remember.”

“"5. Sense of humor and the ability to get mine"

Your what?”

“then cold water does not bother you tango?”

“There is that word again,,,,I made mention of that word earlier and it fell on deaf ears.

If its any consolidation, Tango, I like your list better.”

“TT to be decided!

Maple that comes under the empathy heading

bearmagnet- Sleep deprivation is a form of torture

thanks BR”

“#5 get whatever she wants when she wants it.

Briar- what word? I thought I responded.”

“Nagging is a form of torture.

Complaining about snoring? Then I don't like the way you breath.”

“Gosh, I just realized something. My boyfriend always puts the seat down at my house - lid included. I've never had to say anything to him about it. I should thank him.

But, I keep the lid down to keep the cats from drinking out of it. That's just gross.”

“But, I keep the lid down to keep the cats from drinking out of it. That's just gross."

there is a joke in there somewhere....”

“The word was empathy! A trait that many men have a hard time understanding and conveying. Myself included.

Have we discussed 'neediness' yet?”

“BR I need(hehehe) to to please explain what Empathy menas....”

“Empathy is tough. The need goes both ways, no?”

“I love women!”

“Yah, but what do Swedishwomen want?”

“Baaaaaaaaaaaad boys (apparently).”

“Is there a joke in there that I'm missing? Bit or Skully.

empathy is the ability to comprehend in a 'intimate' way what your S.O. is feeling, thinking, blah blah.

or something along those lines.

empathy is tough BM, especially if you don't know when to give it and when giving, to sound as sincere as possible without coming off like you're a$$ trying to be a problem solver. Guys like that,,solving problems,, we're task oriented.

I rather just go put the f-cking seat down than empathize with her about her having to put the seat down all the time. See problem solved.”

“Please see the "Those Crazy Swedes" thread for a full disclosure of details.”

“I can only empathize with a problem my wife has for so long until I get tired of hearing about it every day. If a woman complains about the same problem on a daily basis, then it needs fixing, not empathizing.

I went through this when my wife was working. Every day, she'd come home and complain about it for an hour. Not being savvy enough to realize all she wanted was empathy, I would suggest solutions until I was blue in the face, only to have them shot down.

This is why men tend to bury themselves in the newspaper when they get home.

A different problem everyday? I can deal with that. But the same crap day-in and day-out? Nope. Gotta either accept a solution or shut up.

Eventually I got a job making enough that my wife didn't have to work anymore, so she quit to stay home with the kids. This led to a new set of problems, but since they tended to be my problem as well (stuff with the kids) I could apply solutions directly instead of suggesting them to her and having them ignored.”

“Sorry - the Bunnies were calling me

Briar - empathize about a toilet seat? Never!

Bit - Did you ever tell her to shut up?

Should we be able to read there minds when they are looking for empathy? I think not. I'll be the first to admit that I'm complaining just to vent, no solution required.”
