For every triple, you strip an article of clothing off another player. For every double, you strip an article of clothing off yourself. For every single, you have down a pint or shot.

You're proposed game isn't leaving a lot of room for the female mystery mystique, AM.

RDM59: OK, I got to come clean on this one. You are right .....
I know RD..
I know men don't like to talk about their problems (except one certain guy.. ) but if guys talked to other guys the way women talk to other women about what she's doing or not doing, would this mystery of relationships be better off??
Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me, but I wonder if the barriers were changed, would things be different, would they be on equal ground...
Ambrose2007: It has often been suggested that women in general have greater expectations of mind-reading from their significant others than men in general do - that is, they expect their mates to understand what they mean and what they want without explicitly expressing those meanings or wants.
Sometimes this is called "mind-reading." Lately, I've been wondering, as a sort of corollary, if women prefer vaguer kinds of statements and perhaps even an aura of mystery.
First, do you believe that women in general are more inclined to adopting a partial shroud of mystery, composed in part by more vague statements and other selective information-withholding, than are men?
My own experience with women is that this is indeed the case. I'm not sure, however, why it is. I have some speculations, but I'll leave them to later.
Hi Ambrose,...its the Mammoth hunter again,..damn, those are tough critters to bring down!
Women think and interpret the world by utilizing both hemispheres of the brain on a roughly equal basis. Men tend to be more left hemisphere oriented,...spatial, mathematical,..all requiring precise and concise terms of reference when it comes to communication. We are basically simple creatures - fight or flight. Women on the other hand are more of the "tend and befriend" way of thinking,...they are indeed more apt to examine the emotional side of matters in a way that befuddles the primal within every man. Yes, men also have a right hemisphere,...and use it also, but not to the same degree as women,...
So I would not say that women prefer more vagueness and mystery, but rather, the way they interpret the world is a mystery to many men. IMHO

Geez, do you want the economy to totally collapse .....

You'll never figure us out... We keep ya guessing and you keep knocking your head against a wall like this..
I'm kidding with ya fellas. I have nothing against men except I don't want them in my life... except the ones on CS..
@RD.......it would be a strange world to see men talking over a cup of coffee in the park... That's too much for me to even imagine. What was I thinking..

And really, why would we ever want to figure you out? You are far more fun just the way your are,...the perplexing "mystery" that just seems so right! If it didn't feel that way, do you really think we would be going out trying to bring down a mammoth? Ground squirrels are WAY easier to catch, and make tasty snacks when watching the game on the tube!

.... gotcha ....
On that note, and final victory .... ... I'm off to bed.
