Good points Brigitte. I checked the girls thread and they were talking about how to paint their toe nails. :lol: :lol: I don't mind if you join in our conversation. :) The girls over there get into a hissy fit if any of the guys barge in. :pQuote:

Why on earth would we allow the reasonably stimulating conversation about what makes women sexy descend into a discussion about your feet?? Yikes.
Well, I think the pedicure talk was in the "Girl Chat" thread and the shoe talk was in the "Anyone for coffee, no boys allowed" thread. Hissy fits? I think that was just Opti. ;) You are welcome to join the conversation (but Niamh will make you put on a wig first....) :pQuote:

Good grief...how tough is it to keep guys on the topic of women?
I take it you're being ironic, red?
Mayyyybe. We do actually seem to be shifting around from Turk's toes to cars...neither of which really holds much interest for me. We'll see where we go from here...:)Quote:

I already made my feelings about cars pretty clear, but the second and third pictures speak an attractive language to me (though I'm a Fender Strat man myself).Quote:

Post #909 - I basically said that cars don't "do it" for me as a discussion topic (though of course I'm still a guy and enjoy fast machines); when I revived the thread I asked for a topic and women came up (:D) but in the last serveral posts, we'ver drifted elsewhere. Your fine illustrated post was a nice return to form (pun intended) - all the curves (metal, wood, flesh) are appreciated!
Do you play guitar?Quote:

Interesting topic. I'll throw in my 0.02. I think you both are essentially right to a degree.Quote:

I think many women are disappointed in how men act these days - but I wonder if part of our "wimpiness" isn't due to the fact that many women attempt to be "masculine" (i.e. "I don't need a man - I'm self-sufficient") when, in reality, the woman who "needs" a man is very, very attractive to a man - it brings out our protective "white knight" nature. Anyway... thank you.

I guess we'll have to let the women in here. :p As long as there is no talking about toe nails and curly hair. :D That means you Papaya. :p :D
It surely depends on whose toe nails and curly hair we are talking about!Quote:

Point of black belt and all dans is having a prove of that you have the ability to beat people better than cops.Quote:

Im 50 years old, yea I know I'm old. But I must say that my opinion of what makes a woman beautiful or sexy has changed over the years. As a teenager it was very superficial and over the years it has morphed to something that still amazes me to this moment. Confidence, freckles, a woman that puts her children first, no make up natural beauty, a woman that likes being a woman, caring.
I agree
I also posted in the "feminism" thread that supposing that feminists don't like being women or don't find joy in womanhood (or being a girl, whichever) goes against the whole idea of what feminism really should be about...that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with being female...that being female doesn't have to be "fixed" by acting like a man. Wanting equality is not the same as wanting to change one's gender. If a Black person wishes to be treated equally, would you tell them they just want to be white? Yes, poor analogy, I know. Still, people are discriminated against because of their race and also their sex.Quote:

Self sufficiency is an adult quality....as in the ability to take care of oneself. Wanting or needing a man should be seperate from that...for romance, companionship, and so on. Isn't that why men need women? Or do men not need women?Quote:

I almost feel like I have to apologise here, but loved the car pic.
I've got a 2.8litre golf 4-Motion, that goes from 0-62 mph in 6 seconds. Okay, showy, showy, showy... but I love that car. Have always been a petrol-head and always been female. ;). Sorry, might not be up to date with post threads... saw the car pic and oh, yum! More sexy cars please. :)
nice car Kiobe!
Nice.Quote:

That's all I'm saying. A man who said "What do you mean? I married you so I must love you and think you're beautiful! Why do I need to say so all the time?" to a woman would not be looked upon kindly (even if what he's saying is true). Do you see what I mean? I think sometimes both men and women forget how much these little things mean. We like to feel needed, respected and admired just like women like to feel beautiful, desired, loved.Quote:

I took it more for excercise but then I learned some pretty cool things that could very well prove useful.

Yummy...:p
Oh and I think Turk just doesn't want girls to be able to fight for themselves, just in case he loses!:p I'm just playing...haha.
Well, people thinks pandas are adorable just because their black hair around their eyes and ears. But if you shave a panda's all hair then you would realize they are quite ugly, if you don't believe me, try it.Quote:

Oh btw, Virgil that pizza looks very good, made me feel hungy. It's the second best thing that Italians gave this world.
