skydived19006 4 #29 July 2, 2004 QuoteYou'd be surprised to discover the number of women who go for the "sports-f***". They find a good-looking hunky type and wear him out, then tell their girlfriends about it. (Mostly younger girls) I had a girlfriend like that once, or was it she who had me? Good times!!!! She was older than I, and school was defiantly in session!Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.

There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Vallerina 2 #36 July 2, 2004 I just wanted to say that your post rocked! Yes, there are a few differences in the way men/women think (men have different experiences because of their penises.) People from Delaware have different experiences than people in LA. People who are rich have different experiences than people who are poor. People who went to school have different experiences than people who didn't. People who have big families have different experiences than people with small families. The list could go on and on. Sure, there are some differences. However, to focus in on the differences exaggerates them and it takes away from who the person really is.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Shotgun 1 #37 July 2, 2004 Well, if we're talking about the stereotyped male and female, then I'd probably say they do think differently - the man thinks about nothing but beer, sex and football and the woman thinks about nothing but makeup, beauty salons and clothes. But I don't actually know many people who fit into those stereotypes, so of the people I know I wouldn't say they could be grouped into two distinct ways of thinking based on whether they are male or female. And when I think of the people I've met in my life who think more like I do, most of them are male... And I wasn't raised in a masculine household or anything like that. It just doesn't seem like a simple yes or no question, so I'll stick with my original answer that some do think alike and some don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites kelel01 1 #38 July 2, 2004 Just to clarify, I don't spend my weekends making doilies and knitting. And that's not what I'm saying. But generally, my boyfriend wants to see an action movie, and I want to see a chick flick. I love action movies, too, but I have to be "in the mood" for them, whereas he is NEVER in the mood for a chick flick. Subtle differences . . . we're (generally) more comfortable with crying at certain things. Not that we necessarily cry more, but if we do, we don't tend to think that people are gonna call us "pussies". And moreso than that, WE DON'T CARE. Call me a pussy when I won't drink another beer, and it's NOT going to make me drink another beer. I'll say, "That's fine, but I still don't want one". Thinking like a woman is NOT a bad thing, contrary to popular female belief. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Darius11 12 #39 July 2, 2004 I think I have to agree with you there. It would be just plain blind to not see the differences between males and females in humans and all over nature. There is always exception to every rule.

I'm not that into action movies either, but I can't think of a time when my husband and I ever disagreed on what movie to see - we seem to like the exact same things as far as movies go. And on the drinking, I don't think either of us would have another drink just because someone called us "pussies" (?) That being said, I can easily out-drink my husband (and most other males that I know) any day of the week.
