h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

When asked, neither sexes like the others 'playing games' and so why does everyone do it? I have found myself newly single after 17 years of marriage (I was married in my teens) and can't grasp the idea of p*****g someone around for the hell of it. My life's complicated enough without complicating it further.

How should I put this ... 99% of humans are total nutters it would be best to avoid completely!

I can't believe I wasn't allowed to write p*****g!!

Oh, I know this conversation has compeletely dried up about two months ago, but this is exactly the one subject I can go on about for HOURS! Which I am not going to do now, since I'm supposed to be working!
But I would just like to say one thing to Sidney about mood swings every month... I don't know if you are aware of the hormonal changes in women all the time? And I DO mean *aware*, because of course you know what it is... But actually you apparently don't... Because I'm afraid, for a lot of women, these mood swings are directly related to their hormonal situation, which changes all the time, and they can't help it...
This means that either you'll have to look very hard to find a women who doesn't suffer from hormonal waves (which might very well mean that she is not very fertile (is this the correct English word??)), OR you start looking for a man...

No offence...

One word of advice, while we are at it: Never tell your woman you bear with her because of those hormonal changes...



PS: My God, I'm begging to sound more and more like a croos between an american tv-preacher and a chinese fortune cookie...

...as well as my mother!

Is that so?
I personaly find it very comforting if my boyfriend puts his hand on my belly (yes, I know, kind of intimate, but it's true) when there's a war raging down there, you know...

But I'm probably just the exeption, right?..

Thankyou for agreeing with me. It makes a nice change and If Argon is reading this then please note that we take so long because we want to get it right and also women tend to think b4 we speak.

Yeah, women can't help the mood swings, but I love my boyf for being very good at understanding back rubs and cups of tea! But don't dispair sidney, some women are attractied to chauvinists! (Tee, hee, didn't mean it really sid)
hxx

It occurs to me as a kind of strange and unexpected thing that none of you women have mentioned the fact that men (or rather their surroundings) suffer from mood swings too...



PS: There was a couple of typo's in my posting 445 . Thank you for not pointing them out to me. It should have read "I am beggining..." of course, as I am surely not "begging to become a cross..." (not croos). Sorry!

*of course* men suffer from mood swings as well, but they can hardly blame it on their hormonal cycles... Better : it CAN be due to hormonal changes, evidently, but it won't be as periodical as it is for women.

For me it's fairly simple : it's always the same moody days in my cycle, so I (and my boyfriend) can just as well take it into account, in stead of saying 'how typically feminine to have these mood swings'.... We *know* that it's feminine, so why emphasise it or use it as a reason not to like a woman?

Men have mood swings throughout their entire midlife crisis (which lasts for anything from 2 to 20 years ) and these are much worse than feminine mood swings as they are aperiodical.

(BTW: Yes, I believe they CAN blame it on their hormonal cycles! - but that is actually beside the point. And this goes for women also)

You (and your boyfriend) sound very sensible on the subject, but in my experience most women (= more than half) don't.

And of course you are right: There is absolutely no reason not to like a woman because of this.

... I suppose you are partly right. The moodswings of men can also be of a hormonal nature. But I don't think it's worse... Women have these problems from their early teens for at least 40 years and after that they start getting the REAL problems when they're losing this hormonal cycle again. It's quite a good thing that women mostly don't have a midlife crisis as well, because it would be almost unbearable.

I'm afraid a midlife crisis is one of the things women WILL start having in the (near) future since they all have a job... Personally I'm not a feminist, although I'm working on a career, because of certain problems that were not taken into account, like : How about children? How about NOT treating women like men only because they have a job? etc.etc.

But I suppose that's another subject, huh?

sorry...

Don't mean to be provocative but to sum up: men have no excuse whatsoever whereas women have every excuse in the book.

~ was it quick enough? ~

Oh you got that one right!

If a man speaks in a forest, and there's no women around to hear him, is he still wrong??

If you're a b*****d they complain that you don't treat them right. If you're nice, they leave you complaining that you're boring. We can't win.

Hooloovoo

Yeah, that sounds near enough right!

I'll come back to whomever with a reply about whatever it was in a minute....

ROFL! I sure hope you guys (Babel and Hooloovoo) are at least 55 years old - each! Otherwise I would say you found the answer way too soon. What will you do for the rest of you pathetic lives?



PS: I didn't really mean that of course. I found the answer years ago, and I STILL fall in love with anything female if it's 37 degress Celsius.

You sound like you are speaking for the whole of Female kind, the kind of generalisation that really irks most people - unless of course it is complementary....

I'm not complaining about my gf taking ages to make up her mind - although that can be annoying too (when we were due elsewhere 20 minutes ago) - I'm complaining about taking ages to make up her mind then changing it again the next day. AFTER I've put the pictures up, laid the Patio, had the Fireplace installed, etc....

Unfortunately I'm only 22

Well, speaking as a hobby Gynaecologist...

No, I mean do we really LOOK for something? I'd say whatever "it" is, just is, really... Is that deep or just c**p? I'd plump for c**p, I think.

One thing's for sure, them there superdooper models ain't a patch on "real" women... I mean, they maybe cheap to feed but I'd be too worried about them slipping down the plughole when they had a bath!

PS
Um, definately not wrinkled tights, although judging by the number of odd sites out here in the ether, I may be in a minority on that one.

Hum. There's seems to be a lack of female input just lately. I wonder if one (or all) of them are cooking up something nasty. Heading for a fallout shelter (are they still around?). Someone tell me when the bomb's gone off, please? Thank you kindly.
