Say something nice about the opposite sex

[HEyHEY]

I must say, one thing that always impresses me about women is how so many of the ones I know are always up on the latest trends. And I don't mean just fasion and crap like that. New items that could make your life easier, or different medical treatments, things like that.
I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to do something, or had a problem and some woman has suggested some product I'd never heard of before to help me out.
Guys aren't like that... if it doesn't have any immediate application men usually don't care about it. So we block out alot of stuff that we should learn about and store.

[LeftyMom]

1. Guys are useful for reaching the stuff on the top shelf.

Sure, I could just get a step stool instead, but I bet they suck at cuddling.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

2. There's nothing like a man for opening jars of jam or pasta sauce

I practically break my wrist when I try.

[djeseru]

3. All the best car maintenance tips...

...I got from guys.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Say something nice about men!

Where do I start?

Men can be so smart, funny, strong (both mentally and physically).....

I like having men around! They liven the joint up!

:hi:

[Droopy]

5. I like the way women look

other than that I can't think of any other generalizations.

[Porcupine]

31. At the right distance every woman is beautifull......

of course I mostly see woman at a distance.......

[JVS]

6. Well, they're people too, I guess

;-)

[6000eliot]

7. Women give birth to us.

I think that trumps just about anything men can do.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. It's true, we do!

But we can't do it without men......Thank goodness!

:hug:

[Jade Fox]

9. I like the way men show they care.....

by trying to find something useful and practical to do for you.

Men! :toast:

[Jade Fox]

10. One more: I like the way men....

take responsibility when things go wrong. I remember when the big earthquake happened in San Franciso 1989. All over the TV were pictures of different kinds of men working together to rescue people, move stuff, etc.

[SOteric]

11. Most of the men I've known

have far better senses of humour than most of the women I've known. They can laugh at anything from complex Latin wordplay to poop jokes; complex irony to the Three Stooges.

Men are generally speaking, somewhat less inclined to love conditionally. When a man loves a woman, he's not concerned with what her care plans are. She can be a CPA or a waitress in a sleezy dive; she can be a doctor or hootchi-cootchi dancer; he's in love and he's not embarrassed about her or her career choices.

[Droopy]

12. What a nice post

Now I feel like a moron for my above remarks. :)

[SeattleGirl]

13. While I could never do without my female friends, I also love having

men in my life. Oftentimes their take on something is different than mine, even if we are on the same side of an issue.

I especially appreciate men who are secure enough in their own skin that they are not threatened by who I am -- a strong, smart woman. I love strong, smart men (strong mentally, more so than physically though that's nice too).

And, a man can make me feel sexy! :toast:

[Left Is Write]

14. Men are....well, they are who they are.

And I like that about them.

[ZombieNixon]

15. Ahh, women...how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

Actually, since I am referring to women in the plural, the pronoun in that sentence should be "you," which at that point in time was used to signify the second person plural only, not the singular...:boring:

Oh, right, counting the ways...um...1 (:evilgrin:)...2 (:o)...3 (:wow:)...

Really, women are beautiful...just...wow (:wow: <- wow). And not just physically, either, because it's really refreshing to hear a woman's perspective on matters of everything from everyday life to deep personal dealings. Just...wow. :loveya:

[BlueIris]

16. Eloquent as always.

Dude, aren't you in college?

[ZombieNixon]

18. Yeah. I should probably be doing homework, but

spherical coordinates are forcefully striking my major gluteal muscle. x(

[Ariana Celeste]

17. I've always gotten along with guys better

The majority of guys I've known were/are more laid back then the chicks I know, less judgmental, and had/have a better sense of humor. Plus I can drink with them. I haven't yet met a chick who I can drink all night with.... let alone really party at all. Dudes are cool. :thumbsup:

[Ariana Celeste]

19. Another reason guys are cool.

If a guy asks me for advice, he actually wants advice.

[Magrittes Pipe]

Women have prettier breasts than men.

Additionally, they tend to be more grounded.

Yes, I know there are some women who are unrealistic about the way things work, but they are generally those who have been sheltered. Men, on the other hand, may have been paying the bills for 20 years, and they STILL don't get it.

I don't know from much beyond my own experience, but I do know this: my wife knows how things work. We have fallen on tough times financially over the past year, and I know for a FACT that I would be either in the poor house or the nut house right now if not for her. She keeps me sane. My male friends would be trying to convince me to go out drinking/to the concert/to the strip club. But dolo reminds me of what's really important -- and, just as importantly, what's not.

She knows what matters far better than I do. That's why chicks rule.

[Random_Australian]

20. They can double your self-esteem in 2 secinds flat, even as a friend.

I've never sung in my life, but the other day one of my flatmates said I had a beautiful serenáde!
Could have knocked me down with a feather!

And they make for good conversation too... and they seem to be much more self-sacrificing than guys.

There are two other things, and I may get flamed but shucks,

1) When babes clean something, it tends to be much better cleaned. Same for cooking.
2) I think you can glean something else men love about women from the following satirical passage from a Terry Pratchet book: '....and the Madam advises them that the first step to getting the attention of a man is to make eye contact, which many find difficult, not because of shyness but due to the fact a women's eyes are not located in her chest'

[hholli11]

21. I like how men can fix my car...

when I am stranded on the side of the road. (back when I had a clunker)

[windy252]

22. Women smell good

more often than some men I've ran into do.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

23. To quote Tom Cruise, "They [women] smell nice. . ."

and most of them are nicer than guys (although, guys just express their friendship differently than women, and there is a time and place for both).

[Deja Q]

24. Women are fun.

But not in that way. No one's taken such a serious interest anyway. :D

[Fleshdancer]

25. It seems that men can change gears faster than women can.

I get so impressed when my husband can just turn off the stress and problems of his day and focus happily on either me or our daughter. I always need a good 20-30 minutes to unwind before giving other things or people my full attention. I've always been envious of him over this.

I also prefer man hugs over woman hugs. :)

[ldf]

26. its nice of all you women folk

taking all the time and trouble to have all those BABIES!

if it was left up to me, we would be a dead race.

:toast:

[Mikimouse]

27. Hmmmm...I had a great girlfriend once upon a time...

smart as a whip, ambitious, and could hold her own with the best of 'em in a political argument. Also had a wonderful and dry sense of humor, liked to do whitewater rafting and could shoot skeet pretty well for a beginner. In short, a real champion in every sense. She was even smart enough to not marry me, damn it.:evilgrin:

[Patiod]

28. I've always gotten along best with women

thank God for a group of people who don't think sports is a suitable topic for extended conversation!!!

But responding to the request from the OP: men are nice to have around when you want a serious backrub, and they're nice and big to snuggle up with and hold you, and they're not afraid of mechanics (well, they might be just as intimidated as I am, but they don't show it)

[Whoa_Nelly]

29. Wish I had one of them opposite sex types

Been to damn long! :rofl:

[NNadir]

30. The woman I love is kind, loving, generous, ethical, good looking

a fabulous mother, a supportive friend, an excellent lover.

I don't deserve her.

[gollygee]

32. Men have beautiful collarbones and shoulders

and tummies.

[Pale Blue Dot]

33. Women are more in touch emotionally than men.

When I'm with a group of men, the conversation inevitably turns to sports, or women as sex objects, or work. Women seem to able to talk about a wide variety of intense emotional subjects, which I find far more interesting 99% of the time.

Also, women look much better in that pink flowery nightie thing you're wearing they wear. And how about that Red Sox game today? Nah, I wasn't at work, I'm on vacation. :D

[darmok167]

34. Say something nice about the opposite sex

:speaking aloud: "Something nice about the opposite sex"

Do you people not know how to follow simple instructions? :)

[UncleSepp]

35. Transwomen are the bravest people I know, as a rule

I am astounded by their guts and determination.

(As near as I can figure, that's my "opposite" sex!)

[Redstone]

36. Women are pretty and soft and intuitive and caring and MUCH smarter

than they ever give themselves credit for, and they smell good and feel good to hold, and they're peachy and loveable, and they are what makes life worth living if you're a guy.

Every time I hear the word "lesbian" used in a perjorative sense, I wonder: "Wait a minute. I like women. So why shouldn't women like women?" They're awfully easy to like, after all.

(No offense intended to male DUers who happen to like guys rather than women. To each his own, and if you know me at all you know that I mean that.)

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Good to see you tonight, my dear Redstone......

How very like you, to sneak in a post when and where you think no-one could possibly be looking....

I hope all is well in your corner of the world, my dear!



:loveya: :hug:

[mykpart]

38. Men are so easy to please.

As Jeff Foxworthy says, all they want is a beer and to see somebody naked!

[barb162]

39. their underwear is 3 for 1.98 on a good sale

[Writer]

40. I think the male figure is beautiful...

It doesn't matter how long I stare, there's always at least one eye staring back at me... ;)

[MnFats]

45. yikes! you're talking about....dare I say it?

naw. can't be.

[Writer]

51. The shlong... the pee-pee... the one-eyed willy...

Yes. The p... erfectly nice one-eyed dude I slept with in college. ;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. A penis just isn't the same on a woman.

Oh my god. I can't believe I just said that!

But seriously, I like the fact that most men don't feel obligated to jibber-jabber in order to feel comfortable. And most don't seem to mind that I'm not particularly chatty.

[barb162]

46. has anyone ever figured out the plural of penis

[amitten]

47. Penisises. n/t

[barb162]

50. how do you know it's not peni

[GoddessOfGuinness]

57. We're all wrong...

pe·nis (pē'nĭs)
n., pl. -nis·es or -nes (-nēz).

Peones will never look the same to me.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

56. I would think it was penii

but I'll look it up...

[ForrestGump]

42. Nice boobies

And I mean that in the most profound way possible...

[XemaSab]

43. Men are good for lifting heavy objects

[clyrc]

44. I think men smell good

If they practice good hygiene (and the men I've been closest to always do) I love their smell. A little bit of cologne or a little bit of sweat-yum!

Also I like looking at them. And, a really good guy is a joy to be around.

[amitten]

48. Most men are pretty laid-back. It's easy to relax around them,

because in general they kind of don't really give a shit (about the small stuff, anyway).

[Skittles]

49. I HAVE HAD IT WITH MEN!!!

LIKED IT TOO!!! :D

[Redstone]

54. That was funny. You made me look, didn't you?

Glad I did. You also made me smile.

Redstone

[Skittles]

59. that's a Skittles classic, Redstone!

I run that thread yearly :D

[Major Hogwash]

52. They look better in my dress shirts than I do.

Gotta admit it, I never looked that good in a dress shirt with a loose tie around the collar, but have any girl put it on - and it's an instant classic.

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. Virtually everything I know that's important to me

I learned from women.

They make men better people, if men will just listen.

[regularguy]

55. A female friend of mine,

an acquaintance really, left me a message yesterday saying she missed me. A small gesture, but it made me feel nice. Women say stuff that makes you feel nice!

[miss_american_pie]

58. Men are wonderful

They're responsible and thoughtful and dedicated and caring and intelligent.

I like them, and all the things that make them not women.
