What is it with men?
Some of them are just so cute and nice and sweet that you just want to wrap your arms around them and kiss them for hours. :D

9. *phew* KCDem is safe. I'm a stone-hearted bastard.
My only redeeming features are my rabid republican-hating, and my willingness to brew her beer.

11. Sometimes
You know they're not nice and sweet and you still want to do the same thing on occasion just because they're cute. :evilgrin:

We need the lovin. If we did not have some cuddle quotient we wouldn't get the lovin.

13. Quote by Paul Reiser on "Mad About You"
"We just made up the Bing and the Bang, so we could get the Boom!"

Anybody remember that episode?

16. Goal vs Process orientation
Ever want to talk to a guy about things troubling you? They continuosly try to offer solutions to the problem. They do not hear the emotions in the conversation. They do not realize that women are trying to process things. They see a problem and they want to solve it. The goal of romance is the boom. Do you think they are going to focus on the bing?

17. Personally
I enjoy the bing, bang AND boom. It all kind of works together, IMHO, and any of the elements without the other just isn't as satisfying.

BTW, I am so totally mesmerized by your dancing Spiderman. Way cool! :thumbsup:

19. Its a broad (no pun intended) generalization
Of course the human species has a wide range of adaptions of these two extremes. Different people have different degrees of goal/process in their mix. Its just in general that the two genders tend towards one side or the other.

23. And women don't?
Believe me, if you've done the bing and the bang right, we DEFINITELY like the boom. :D

P.S. This really isn't a sex thread. Just an appreciation of "nice guys" who are under the mistaken impression that women will ditch them in favor of the "bad boys" every time.

Sure, you'll have that, but then you grown up. Real women like nice guys, so all of you nice guys out there, hang in there.

20. Color me confused
You want to wrap your arms around MEN and kiss them for hours — not that there's anything wrong with that — but does Cate know about this?

30. I am a man and ...
we can't figure out each other so don't get too depressed over it. I am about as straight as you can get -- former U.S. Marine, Baptist, athletic, expert marksman, hard worker, BSBA in Marketing, but I work with guys every day that I just can't figure out. They cheat, they lie, they go out on their wives and brag about it, they have the most wierd views in the world about guys like me who actually enjoyed the military and believe in following orders -- even those that you don't like. I know some gay guys that I get along with -- most of them stick with their own kind while others clearly try to "recruit." I sure as hell can't figure out gay men or women -- aliens to me. I am a Democrat but I don't hate George Bush as I know that I could just as well hate a Democrat if he is a liar and a traitor. What America needs (and what American women need) are men with courage and values that ARE NOT FOR SALE. Betrayal is the worst sin. Say what you mean -- mean what you say. Life is actually simple.

35. Are you serious?!?!
"most of them stick with their own kind while others clearly try to "recruit." I sure as hell can't figure out gay men or women -- aliens to me" <-- I don't know whether to laugh or cry over statements like this.

BTW, please do tell what lying, traitorous Democrats you hate? And you do know that Bush is both a liar and a traitor.

36. I must have met 100's of gay men & women in my life
and have yet to ever see, or hear of, recruiting of any kind

I should laugh.

it's the blacks you gotta worry about. They are the ones trying to recruit us all to be black! :silly:

(hopefully blatant smart-assedness in that last bit)

31. I feel that way about women (again)!
After my last relationship, it took a long-ass time before I'd trust another woman with my heart!

So be careful with it, OK, Lisa? ;)
