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

I vary my approuch, personally. I see no reason not to enjoy myself, and yet I will not settle for anything less than I hope I'm worth. Nobody is ever a piece of meat for me though. My rule? Nobody I wouldn't enjoy spending a weekend with... (as in, spending time chatting, eating, doing stuff as well as just having physical fun).

I'm always honest, I insist upon it. I expect absolute honesty in return.

And the person who will be my one and only forever? Well, if we find one another, so be it. I hope we do. If we dont, at least I've contacted and connected with lots of people who have made me happy and hopefully made them happy in return.

Again though, you have to maintain respect, for yourself and for them otherwise it becomes corrupted.

I agree with your rule Robyn. And probably most people also do.

I've found that that rule is not followed by many men. Their sexuality is more primary. I know that from what my younger brother tells me about his friends.
However, Most women need something else to go to bed. "An intelligent woman is conquered through the ear", I agree with that. The difference between women,(those I've met) is WHEN to go to bed. Some wait for too long in my opinion because they see sex as the summit of love. Like the award they offer to the patient man who has been showing a kind of devotion to her.
Sex is important to discover some traits of personality that people don´t show so easily outside bed. So, for me, the sooner the better.

And as much as anything else, I want to know if the sex is as worthwhile as the company...

Honestly though, I can be lighthearted about relationships (whether it's a brief fling or something more lasting) but that honesty and respect has *got* to be there.

If women (or men) are purely objects of sexual conquest or for you to gain something other than company and mutual enjoyment (i.e. to make you feel better or prove something etc.) then it corrupts the beauty of what we as humans are capable of doing for and with each other.

Hello Mar

Well your little brother's friends are going to be rampant with hormones. So its just a huge meat platter until they wake up and look for some understanding.

And about being trapped in Venus...what would be the female equivalent?

I can't think of one.

Bollocks.

That's communicative and enlightening, Fluffy, thank you...

maybe its the female equivalent of the venus flytrap?

The venus flytrap is a hermaphroditic plant. If you want male and female meat-eating plants, you'll need Nepenthes (a kind of pitcher plants from Asia).

i meant linguistically as a metaphor

i used it earlier and i think it might have offended someone so i was asking if there was a female alternative that a lady would use on a man grabbing her for a quick piece and using her emotions

so maybe thats what was meant by bollocks

...but i don't REALLY think so

OH! I thought you were asking about a mythological character, and I read "trapped by Venus" as a no too negative circunstance.
I mean:
Venus as the symbol of female beauty. Afrodita is the Greek equivalent. I recommend you the book of Robert Graves, The Greek Myths. The entry about Afrodita surprises a lot. She would be labelled by some as "an inmoral and lusty beast"


The " trapped by Venus" equivalent I was thinking about was Adonis, a symbol of male beauty, or about Priapus, a son of Afrodita and Dionisios. An ugly man with huge genitals.

Priapus; cursed him with impotence, ugliness and foul-mindedness by Hera. Not exactly a 'babe magnet' then?

that Dionysus, he's nice

my best mate if I could choose a Greek god

Lo. Then I do spent far too much time in Argos!

"The laminated book of dreeeams!"

A Bill Baily classic, though I still like Jasper Carrot with "Argos, the Greek God of pointless queuing."

Never heard that one- very good! (Jasper Carrot, that is)

Oh, Robyn, Robyn, ROBYN... Honesty? Seriously?? Of a man?!
To quote the Great Izzard - "What's the right answer? I... I was dead at the time!"

It never fails to amaze me how easily people lie in general, for no reason at all, but men seem to do most of the - um - work.

Hah, lies, woman has always been known as the deceiver.

It took almost a year to get the truth out of a woman over an issue.

She claimed to have tried to tell the truth, and then my question was why a month ago did you make up yet another lie about it because you'd though you'd been found out.

Women lie.

The answer fk 'em. No really, keep it to that and not let emotions come into it, if you want something to love, get a dog, least that'll only sht on your floor, not your heart.

I'm sorry for you. I pity you, if that's your attitude.

But I have no time to waste on this kind of thing.
