Oh I already did my friend. But consider the site name "Connecting Singles," and then take a gander at my (our) attached photo. I (we) may not relect a representative sample.
Which of course is an underlying problem that will render all your results invalid. Surely you understand basic precepts of opinion polling? No poll with self-selecting respondents can ever be valid.
In short, YES, you are wrong, in titling this "A question for the ladies." You were a perfect gentleman in your actions, however.
Some months ago I was at a store. As I approached the door, I saw an older gentleman using a walker also approaching. I opened the door and held it for him. And he snapped at me: "I don't need your help!" I mean, jeez! I was just holding the door open, like anyone might for anyone else.
But it wasn't about holding the door, just as in your case, it wasn't about carrying her groceries. It was about two angry, mean-spirited, resentful people. There's a lot of those in the world. Don't let them change who you are.
But: they do come in both genders, not just ladies.
Once upon a quigmarole, three Eftends visited just such an abargale. The First Eftend (she was known by her special headgear, her white capgan), took one look at the psychos in the abargale and said to her two male followers, "Behold! Here are psychos!" The two junior Eftends nodded in agreement. One took notes. (They were still in training.)
Shortly thereafter, a football game began. The three Eftends watched with avid interest. "These are not our psychos," one of the Eftend followers noted. "How can this be?"
And the First Eftend explained: "Lo! Pass the Holy Potato Chips. What you see and what you hear is not necessarily all there is."
And so it was, that they watched the football game, but the announcers could not tell them what was to come, but only what had already passed. Thus did the two junior Eftends gain wisdom.
So as they say, all is well, and all will be good...
Ok, now, that is unfair. I'm an American, and while I am too modest to claim I am not stupid, I knew the correct answers to every single question asked.
But, I am well-schooled in the overall subject, Geography. My good friend Jerry, who is by no means stupid, is hopeless there. He doesn't know where ANYTHING is. He literally could not place the Nile river in a game of Trivial Pursuit. Had he been one of the interviewees here, he'd have come off as even more of a bonehead. But he's quite smart and well-educated, holding degrees in Math and in Accounting.
In a way, such a demonstration merely proves that we Americans are more civlized, since civilization by definition accomodates specialization. We needn't all be hunter-gatherers now; some of us can be accountants (like Jerry), some of us (like me) can operate machinery, and in our spare time (which we have in abundance) we can pursue any hobby or field of interest we like. In my case, that includes history, geography, politics, and art. In Jerry's case, it means popular movies, computer games, and other stuff I've never even heard of.
Interviewed separately, Jerry & I could both come off as idiots. But we're not separate. The one thing such a video cannot show is unity of the populace. If I don't know something, or Jerry doesn't, chances are the other does. And if not, maybe GACryptic (my gf), or Jerry's Dad. Together we are strong & intelligent. Apart, we are specialized "idiots."
America is an easy target. Let's see the same video of the same interviews done on the street in the UK, in Saudi Arabia, in Israel, in Iraq, in Iran, in South Korea AND in North Korea, in Lebanon, in Syria, in France, in Germany, in Japan, in Algeria, in Tunisia, in Egypt, in Jordan, in Morocco, in Sudan, in Ethiopia, in Bahrain....oh gee I guess by that point it won't seem so comical, will it? It'll begin to seem sad.
At which point, those laughing should feel kind of ashamed.
If a gal declines to ask a fella out, she's thrown away 50% of her chances. Doesn't seem like a particularly bright move to me. I'm not sure I'd want to date someone with such poor math skills.
The one with the live models (the tiger face) must have posed extra technical challenges, since it didn't use a flat surface. So that's impressive. But I liked the 2nd one, the bank vault, best; it turned 2D into 3D.
Btw, thanks to Jac379 I acquired a full-size tapestry afghan depicting Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss." It now decorates the back of my couch.
Well Nules, you most ecstactically lovely and gorgeous woman, with those absolutely fascinating eyes, and that penetrating gaze....All I can say is, my fondness and love to you as well, you cutie.
Salaam, Ali. Ya left out radio. Without radio in the mix, television would easily be the most amazing. Like television, all the others built on engineering or scientific work from decades or centuries before.
If we add radio back into the mix, television is the same. Then, electricity would be most amazing, I think. Granted, not really an invention -- its production, regulation, and harnessing were the inventions -- but those, in toto, took place in a fairly short time frame, and were available to the use of all the other inventors whose works are listed.
Except the gun. And the gun, as we now know it, took a very very long time, many centuries, to develop. Hard to say it's actually an "invention."
My sweetie is as familiar with my Amazon Wish List as I am with her finances. The two are not always as compatible as we are. The former includes things like a private island off the coast of Maine, a 2012 Jaguar XK, collectible archaic Greek votives (http://www.howardnowes.com/gallery/detail.cfm?itemnum=9878), and first-editions by Mallory, Twain, Sinclair Lewis, and Steinbeck. The latter does not.
But I appreciate her thoughtfulness in recognizing that I'm an individual, in addition to being half a couple. Any modest notion she gets me reflects that, and I love her all the more for it, and strive to do the same.
Search Forums. Not the first time I've heard such a complaint. But far as I know, was never anything to worry about. If you've visited the Chat Room, your Java settings might be the problem.
Dude, does every random thought that floats through your mind have to be a Poll? Y'know, it's possible to start a conversation here without making up silly potential choices to a question no one but you cares about. I't called "New Thread." Try it next time, instead of "New Poll." Eh?

Nice to meetcha.
RE: You find out shocking things about your GF/BF, what do you do?
Sadly, none of these events are very shocking. They are all too familiar.
