RE: What do you ...

In case you need to get your car out of a rockslide or avalanche, some explosives are in order, for sure.

RE: What do you ...

And no emergency flares, shovel for getting out of bad spots (mud or snow), and no emergency food. Yet there must be no room in the trunk or boot for any food. I guess this guy must be in the semitropics, if he has no shovel, but he could be going on the famous rally from London to Ulaan Baatar or Ulan Bator!

RE: What is the weirdest

It is weird. Is it so hard for a woman to put a toilet seat down? Why do some women glare if you do them a courtesy that you would do for anyone? Yet these "liberated" women don't mind if a man pays the dinner check or for the drinks.

RE: If you were to meet someone from CS...

You would have a lot of time to talk if you went to Babykins World aka Disneyworld where everything is made of plastic. The lines for anything are at least an hour long.
What if the guy is a realist and doesn't enjoy male-believe?

RE: If you were to meet someone from CS...

I would like a picnic and a swim, or a picnic and a winter cross-country ski (lovely to sit around a blazing fire and eat some good sandwiches and hot choc or coffee). Failing that, a stroll along the harbor and a stop at one of the local coffee shops for a bite.

RE: any women think it is romantic for a man to cook you breakfast?

Nothing to it, guy. I wowed so many women with gourmet microwaveable dinners. Just kidding.
Cooking isn't that difficult, and have you noticed that the top world chefs are mostly men?

RE: any women think it is romantic for a man to cook you breakfast?

That might be appropriate for male birds who feed their mates who are on the nest, but a sign of childishness for two mature people. Next thing you will want is for him to chew it too?

RE: any women think it is romantic for a man to cook you breakfast?

I don't see what is romantic about eating food but I suppose it's the gesture that's romantic. I hope you intend to have some intimate "rassling" after, and then a shower.
Is cleaning up and doing the dishes part of the deal, or just a fringe benefit?

RE: The Perfect Man: Does He Exist?

I even ask for directions too.

RE: The Perfect Man: Does He Exist?

The Fairy Tale

Once there was a man who met a fairy and upon being asked what his three wishes were, replied, I would like to find a woman who doesn't make a big deal about fishing and hunting and even goes along sometimes. Oh, and I wish I could find a woman who thinks heavy labor is lowering a toilet seat and whose definition of manhood hinges on a man's lowering it at all times. And lastly I wish I could find a woman who would not rely on shopping and facials to get her into a better mood. Poof, he woke up to reality. Too bad.

For sure. If you lived with an angel, you would have to study harp and wear white clothes. Think of the amount of time and money spent on music lessons and laundry.


The Chinese of old had it right: they would create a perfect piece of art and deliberately make a flaw in it, just to avoid hubris.

RE: The Perfect Man: Does He Exist?

The perfect man is the one who will own up to his faults and amend them. He will not try to be perfect, but just be human, as he knows that imperfections are part of life.

RE: BONJOUR A TOUS LE MONDE'....

Hi, I love French women. In fact, I lived in Quebec for a while, and even pronounce Quebec as "Kaybeck". C'est drole, non?

Voulez-vous me connnaitre?

RE: Please make me laugh.....

I will tell you a joke so silly it has to make you laugh.
An anthropologist working with a tribe of cannibals in the middle of Borneo had no fear that he would be eaten. He was so skinny he never worried about losing his key, as he could always get in through the cat door.
While he was there, he met a botanist and they had three children. He always made sure that they didn't wander off and get taken by a rival tribe, but eventually the inevitable happened. One by one they were eaten.
He tried again, with the same result.
One day he was gathering some ungalas sap for poison darts, when a rival tribe captured him. He was surprised and chagrined. Now he would have to offer them a lot of cigarettes and cloth for his freedom. But the didn't accept his offers, but told him he would be going into the pot. --But why, why, I am like a bone! --Exactly, we have nothing to eat but vegetables but we need a soup bone for the soup.
Groan.

RE: Family and Sense Of Community

I have my family in the U.S. and can't often see them. Geography makes it hard for extended families to keep in touch. Internet is great, but there's nothing better than personal communication.
Nuclear families are easily fragmented by too many activities away from the home, and televion is not a substitute for conversation.
Work and the stress and fatigue makes talking with the kids a heavy chore. I wonder how much time couples spend a week talking meaningfully to each other?
Maybe there should be a national honeymoon week, and then a week for parent-child get-togethers.

RE: What do MEN want??

I know what I want--a simple relationship, not ownership or competition. I like to be attentive to a woman without being told I am a male chauvinist. I know woman can open doors and pull out chairs and take off coats, but that's not the point. It doesn't make a woman a lesser person to accept small courtesies.
I find that for all the talk about equality, women still expect men to make the first move, to pay the tab for the date and the like, but if they aren't attracted to you, they will scream that they are being hit on and molested. Do you think I would do that if some woman would "come on to" me? If I didn't like her aura or looks, I would simply amke that evident without being rude.
