SL Sex, Lies, and Mind Games

I bought my ex husband a gorgeous shirt in a shade of pink. Anticipating his reaction and to get him to wear it, I told him the shirt is not pink it is salmon color.

Later in the summer one day someone was commenting about his "pink shirt". He says, my wife knows I would'nt wear pink, so she got me this salmon colored shirt. Man...this isn't pink it is salmon and you don't know your colors.

I snickered behind his back so hard, I started coughing

Yes, well, whatever floats your boat. You're a sensitive 90's guy, eh. Careful, people here steal panties, or that may be only Brenda's panties, but I'd be careful anyway, never can tell when someone will be waving your panties over their head in salute.

I'm sorry, what "observations"? That would imply the employment of empirical evidence. I have seen nothing here, ultimately, but a highly subject obsession with an unproven assertion about how "emotional" women are.

Provide an actual "observation," and I'll happily comment.

Proven or unproven makes no difference to me Scylla. I like emotional women, especially the ones that have and express feelings for the inherent beauty of life, like moonlight reflecting on water, or the sensual form of softly flowered hills. Sometimes, there is too much empahsis on words, too much expectation and passion for confirmation...when all that is really needed is shared experience, a moment when at least two people confirm the existence of each other through the affirmation of feeling.

The wind swept melodies of female breath
gently stirring the leaving waves
The distance I feel is the lost living
of my ancestors...

Frankfurt, Germany, December 6 -- A rather bizarre study carried out by German researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy.
"Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out."

Due to the difference in size of the corpus callosum between men and women; females have their speech and emotion centers spread across the brain and more able to inter communicate. Therefore women are more adept at --expressing-- their emotions than men. That they are more emotional or less has never been proven one way or another. What I do suspect is that men have a specialised area much like the other parts of their brains and probably feel their emotions more intensely in some instances.

Oh, that was more than I wanted to know about you.

So THAT's why I was so popular at the Renaissance Faires...

Pictures please. You do want to help my health don't you?

WEWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is quite lovely, of its kind, Twilight. But how to reconcile this with your evident misogyny? How can one share this much with someone one knows thinks slightingly of one?

Drama is the drastic and the flaunt. It's being everything all at once and being over the top when its necessary. It's make-up, clothes and attitude,

Passion is biting the pillow, scratching his back, opening oneself for the moment. It's buying all the clothes in the stores. It's throwing a pot of paint at a white wall. It's a dinner for twenty and you serve roast peacock. It perfume. It's sl when it needs to be dragged screaming as a avatar plunges in front of you on the screen.

It's all these things.

i'm all about that whole post. that is all lovely, Twilight. but when staring up at the stars do your eyes well up?

i have a friend i really want to live a long time. now i know what my job is to ensure this.

So, I bring a few facts to the party, open up the possibility of a cognitive discussion and ...


nothing.

Probably because you pointed out that women were more "adept" at expressing their emotions than men. "Adept" as in whinging persistently about men 'not listening' to them, when we are actually listening fascinated, waiting to hear something worth responding to, as opposed to demands for equality with no justification other than a politico-sexual manifesto. "Expressing" as in speaking or typing without allowing the rational parts of their brain to filter the hysteria. "Emotions" as in jealousy of the power that men have in managing their environment and manipulating those who allow emotion to over-power logic. Are you surprised?

Pep (Feeling emotion is fine; over-reacting in an over-emotional irrational way, as has been demonstrated any number of times is not.)

PS And apologising afterwards makes everything OK? As in: "Sorry I shot you dead. I won't do it again."

This level of obsession, which comes across in the end as sounding like mere bigotry, seems beneath an intelligent person.

Not to mention...a bit irrational.

You have truly outdone yourself with this post. LOL!



I have the opposite problem. I am listened to but rarely have anything fascinating to say.



That isn't limited to gender. I used to think it had to do with age. Now I think it influenced by maturity rather than years.




Oh my. Subordinate men must have strong emotions in this situation as well. Mine wouldn't be jealousy though, not at all. I suppose my response would range from irritation through rage, resulting in either acceptance or doing something about it. Just call me Spock

@Mel and @Laurin: Please stop attempting to destroy my generalised argument with individual demonstrations of rational responses.

Pep (Any more of this sort of thing and I shall be forced to assume you are actually male!)

The correct response, you old goat, is, "Yes, dear."

Best. Reply. Ever.

Oh no! You are not male . . .

Pep ( . . . you're my *wife*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Now you've lost it entirely. I have a quiver full of hockey sticks, but not a cricket bat to be found.

Don't take it too hard, you are new here. By the time a thread gets to 100 posts it will descend into a dog pile of flirting, panties, pie and petty bickering. For cognitive discussion you have to start early.
