Guys, take heed: Women will like you a lot more

[Oeditpus Rex]

if you don't get all 17 and testosteroney every time they mention something about their bodies.







Class dismissed.

[graywarrior]

1. You mean like "my breasts are voluptuous".

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. That's one example, yes

Nice hat, though.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Well said

:applause:

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. ty

I feel 'tis my duty to impart my hard-earned wisdom upon the brethren. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

5. It's definitely needed here in the Lounge

:)

[Solon]

6. Dammit, you're sucking all the fun out of the lounge...

x(

[Guava Jelly]

7. But drooling over titties and coming close to stalking the ladies here

has been so very productive for me. Wait?!?!?!?.hummmmmm?? :wtf: I think I just had a breakthrough!
Thank you Oedi Wan Kinobi :woohoo: May I learn the ways of the Stud-i Knights, Master?

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Embrace the forest, asshoppa

[Guava Jelly]

13. If I was Hoppen Ass I wouldn't be here

:rofl:

[fizzgig]

8. more men should be like you, oedi

:thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Nah

Then I'd have more competition. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Hunh hu huh hu uh huh hu - you said "ass"

:rofl:

[TZ]

10. ah come on

Some of us like watching guys make idiots of themselves over body parts! If they stopped doing it, the entertainment value in the lounge would drop (yes, I'm a tease) and what would DuStrange and Temeah post about, if not the 9th grader stuff..:D

[khashka]

14. Yes but.....

Women like to feel beautiful and that you see it (so do men). Just don't be crude or slobber on them.

Khash.

P.S. Does this mean I can't mention boobies anymore?

[Solon]

15. So that's what I've been doing wrong!

I guess women don't like it when guys get their shirts wet? Now I know why I'm single, thanks. :hi:

[DarkTirade]

16. ... but we love boobies!

[DarkTirade]

17. I don't usually have that problem.

I generally shoot for around a 13 year old maturity level. :P

[TZ]

18. True.

And you do a FINE job of it too..From another perpetual teenager....:P

[TZ]

19. In all seriousness

I don't mind guys being a little stupid..I enjoy feeling sexy. Its funny, I go for the real intellectual brainy type but if they don't have a silly sense of humor, including the occasional juvenile behavior, I will not be attracted to them..In other words, to me if they pretend like they don't notice women, its boring and to me, seems a little...fake. I know what guys are like. There is a balance between being too boring and too juvenile. And I think the reason I'm still single is I tend to meet the boring types.

[DarkTirade]

20. It's a balance beam. On one side you have boring, dry and fake

and on the other you have crude and gross.

I tend to lean towards crude and gross myself. :P

[NewJeffCT]

43. I do think it comes across as fake sometimes

but, I also think a woman doesn't want her date to follow every woman in the room with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, either.

it's a balancing act, as dark tirade said.

[MissMillie]

48. Maybe it's just me, but

sexy goes way beyond the physical.

I mean WAY beyond the physical.

[Bunny]

21. So true. When we mention things about our bodies, you should yawn.

And then fart,or scratch yourself, or pick your wedge. Or something.
















:rofl: :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Nah, that wouldn't be any fun

But we can appreciate you — even with undertones of debauchery — and still be gentlemen. :)

[PeaceNikki]

24. You're such a smart guy!

(and it was said at last Friday's meetup by 2 women who'd know that you have a voice that brings women to their knees) :D

[skygazer]

25. That's just because he usually has them carrying heavy furniture

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. Hey, I took the big ends!

...didn't I? :shrug:

[skygazer]

30. Yes, you did

I just didn't want you to get too excited about having a sexy voice. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. Ain't gonna happen

You guys don't hear me when I sound like Porky Pig. :blush:

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Oh?

Wait... how'd my name come up clear out in eastern Wisgahnsin? :shrug:

[PeaceNikki]

28. The legend of Oeditpus Rex is well known in these parts.

;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Lies! All lies!

Lies, I tell you!

[lizziegrace]

58. Are you calling me a liar??

x(



I never lie about your voice. Makes my knees weak and I'm not ashamed to say it. So there...


:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

65. Well, then...

Get a coupla these and then call me.







:evilgrin:

[lizziegrace]

75. I'd rather you

catch me when I fall... ;)

[LynzM]

35. Absolutely....

I appreciate well-done undertones of debauchery, myself.

:loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. Well, then...

I shall try my gol-dangdest to think of some. :loveya:









Okay — two well-done undertones walk into a bar...

[LynzM]

49. LOL

:rofl: :loveya:

[China_cat]

23. Grabbing a woman's butt

when she's trying to check the casserole in the oven is NOT a romantic gesture, no matter what you think. Second degree burns are not effective foreplay.

[LeftyMom]

31. Hey, some of us dig that.

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. NOW you tell me!

:banghead:









I just realized that I've met four DUers and toted furniture with three of 'em. There's gotta be some significance to that.

[kaiden]

34. Shoot, man. After being married to Cathandler for 17 years,

I STILL don't bend over in front of him to pick something off the floor.

[Forkboy]

37. Wanna bet?

:hide:

[Lil Missy]

38. And, snapping the back of her bra is not foreplay.

:eyes:

[JBoy]

39. Testosteroney

One of Chef Boyardee's less successful products.

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. Too much Boy in it

:rofl:



:thumbsup:

[Gore1FL]

41. I can;taffordanother woman

The last one killed me financially.

Never again for marriage.

[SarahB]

42. Sometimes I forget how stupid most are

Most of the men I'm around (other than my spouse) are ob/gyns.

[NewJeffCT]

46. well

I think you're right most of the time (about men being stupid), but I think people behave a bit differently in The Lounge than they do in real life. I haven't seen a lot of high school level horniness in corporate america where I've worked for almost 20 years now. I've seen men notice attractive women at work, but it hasn't been the over-the-top high school like noticing.

[SarahB]

67. Unfortunately,

I think a lot of men who do not have active intimate lives of their own on a regular basis tend to act a bit differently than those who do. Those guys seem to have to "prove" their manhood. Meanwhile, the "old married guys" that are the low-key school teachers and accounts are pretty content. :)

[BarenakedLady]

44. But, but, butt

It's perfectly alright for me to get 17 and estrogeny when thinking about boy parts, right?

Just checkin.

[BarenakedLady]

74. ...

:cry:

[Inchworm]

76. poor thing

Oedi skipped over you. :cry:

:hug::hug::hug:

[DFW]

45. I don't dare go trying to get women to like me more

If I do that, my wife might like me less!

[MissMillie]

47. I think I love you

:loveya:

[RainDog]

50. yeah

really.

when I talk about my tee shirt that got soaking wet while I was out washing the car... and there I was - no bra... oh, and the way my neighbor was staring at my nipples just because they were so erect...

sigh.

guys, really. I'm just trying to convey some information here.

:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

51. I hope you didn't catch a cold

:hug:

[RainDog]

53. thanks for your concern

unfortunately my next-door-neighbor was out in her yard also washing her car and she made fun of me so I went over to her house and we got in a fight. So there we were, covered in mud, trying to wrestle the other one to the ground.

sigh.

eventually we kissed and made up. I'm so glad none of you had to witness that one!!!!

[NewJeffCT]

59. and why

pray tell, did your neighbor try to make fun of you while you were washing your car? That seems rather naughty of her, no?

[Oeditpus Rex]

63. I'm so happy that you reconciled your differences

:hug:









O' course, the other side of this is that if I don't show some interest, y'all'll think I'm a eunuch or somethin'.

What to do, what to do? :dilemma:

[RainDog]

69. Me too

As I told her, there's a time and place for everything. wet tee-shirt mud wrestling isn't for work and sensible heels are not for play.


(and small text answer - jmo, but I think the issue for most females, if you're in a relationship at least, is they're fine with their partner getting all chef-boy-r-tosteron-ee over them. it's just when they do it with OTHER females, most esp. those young enough to be the child of said testosteroner, that they take issue. in the lounge? who knows. so many women, so many povs.)

[Oeditpus Rex]

73. Small-text response

Yup. Even when I was partnered up, I didn't chase her around the house 24/7. Almost everyone wants to be appreciated for their allure, but like you said, time and place — and even people in LTRs don't want their Other playing Droolzilla while they're trying to diaper the dishes or something. So I choose my dances wisely — with everyone.

Bottom line: I think more than the appreciation of allure, people want to be respected. If not, at least I've erred on the side of gentlemanliness.

[Orrex]

52. What kind of car is it?

And I hope that you were responsibly using an eco-friendly car washing solution.

[RainDog]

55. Austin-Healey

I just use water and bio-degradable baby shampoo, of course. because then I can wash my hair at the same time.

[Orrex]

56. Wow! How do you do the detailing?

And I hope that you put the top up before whipping out the hose.

[RainDog]

62. with my tongue

I love that car. :rofl:

[Orrex]

71. Your thoroughness is admirable

I can't help being impressed by your commitment to your vehicle.

And I hope that you and your neighbor get things sorted out.

[MonkeyFunk]

54. You'd think so

but that doesn't seem to be the case here in the lounge. Creepy perviness is rewarded.

[Help_I_Live_In_Idaho]

57. I Work With 20 Women And I am the Only Male

Tell me more about getting along with women. Now I don't want to come off like a sexist, but the truth is it is really hard to put up with all the sex differences in an office like this.

1. What do you do when they start screaming at each other?

2. How do you convince them that you DON'T think you are superior - never did and never will?

3. How do you deal with it when they don't deal with problems with others directly and just gossip to everyone else and you tell them repeatedly to go to the person they have a problem with and talk to them, and they say YES YES YES but never do because they like the drama so damn much better than solving the problem?

4. Finally - My wife is almost never difficult or problematic like these women. What is the difference between her and these ladies?

I suppose it has nothing to do with sex differences - but it sure seems like it. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Orrex]

60. A 1:20 ratio? How did you land that gig?

:shrug:

[Help_I_Live_In_Idaho]

70. Idaho None of The Men Here Work

And I'm a Clinical Social Worker - mostly women in the profession

[leftofthedial]

61. you mean like "does this bikini make my boobs look too big?"

[Oeditpus Rex]

64. There is no correct answer to such questions

Walk away. Gingerly.

[leftofthedial]

66. I usually have to walk gingerly

after something like that

[Oeditpus Rex]

68. ...

:spray:

[Help_I_Live_In_Idaho]

72. No you are perfectly built

And' like all women/ or whatever - you are a goddess.
I've had a lot of practice doin this
