"10 Questions Men Are Too Scared To Ask Women" - My Response
*So, I got this idea from Redbook Magazine. I haven't even read the whole article, but I thought I'd answer these questions with my own spin on it! Enjoy
*1. Why so many shoes?
For the record, I'd like to state that not ALL girls are shoe obsessed. I have 1 pair of dress shoes, for dressy occasions, and 1 pair of sneakers for EVERYTHING else, haha. Shoe shopping is a pain in the arse, for me. I have wide feet. It's not like I can walk into Payless and buy whatever I want.
So, we're not all crazy for shoes!2. Why chat about "our" sex life, with your friends?
hahaha. Um, I don't know. I've had a few of those convo's, but it was all just, you know, advice? haha. I don't get into nitty gritty detail, but I've certainly heard it from people like, say, my sister. Yeah, it's a little awkward. Therefore, I really don't know why we do that. lol
3. Vampires, Really?
Even though I do like the show True Blood (not that we watch it anymore, thanks to not having HBO
), I really don't find vampires that appealing. I never even got into Twilight, for crying out loud. Though, it does look a little fascinating, so I may have too! I dont' know, the idea of someone chomping down on my neck and sucking my blood, doesn't sound so hot. Although, that could change... haha. Kidding.4. "Do you think we don't know it's a padded bra?"
Look, padded bra's are great for hiding headlights. Know what I'm saying? That's really one of the greatest reasons, in my opinion, for them. That said, not all of us, errr, wear one. I don't. Not anymore, haha.
5. "How can a woman hold it together for everyone else, but have such a short fuse with her husband?"
*Whistles and twiddles thumbs". I don't know. Maybe it's cause we just live with you and see you all the time and you drive us crazy, so we're more likely to lay it on you, vs. trying to keep our cool with those who don't see us all the time/live with us? I have no clue. *My answer is no where near as good as the answer in the magazine, oh well*
6. "Why do you buy uber healthy food that you're not going to eat?"
Oh, I've so done this. I'm so bad with this. *looks at the bag of unopened flax seed*. Hey, intentions mean something. we'll get around to it one day!
7. "Size does matter doesn't it?"
*sigh*, NO IT DOESN'T. Now, I don't have much experience with this, sorry for the TMI to follow this, but this is my opinion...
Penis in Vagina = IT FEELS GOOD, REGARDLESS! Dude, it can be a flipping finger (and we all know fingers are much smaller than a penis) and it STILL feels good. Don't worry. It doesn't matter. Seriously.
Did I just really say that?
8. "Why is it so hard to talk women into having sex?"
For the LIFE OF ME, I have NO CLUE! Sex is awesome, sex is fun and, FOR SOME OF US, we're down for it whenever. I never have to be talked into having sex, I'm ready all the time. I don't understand that, sorry. I'm with you on that. I've been told that I'm like a man, in that regard. 9. "Why won't you admit that The Notebook is a lousy movie?".
Maybe cause it's not? I've never even seen the darn thing, but it looks good. Oh, c'mon, embrace your romantic side, sometimes! Even I prefer comedies to romance, but, really!
10. "Why do women stress about so many things, from writing every single thank you note to bringing the perfect cupcakes to a kids birthday party at school? Do you think here's a report card waiting for you in heaven?"
*I had to type that whole question out, because it made me laugh!*
Ahahahaha. I like the answer that Ali Wentworth gave. Especially the part about us feeling the pressure to be the superior gender, so I'll leave it at that!
*~*~*~*~
And to make my life simple, today, I'm starting this xanga challenge for the next how many other days. This is Day 1 and Day 1 is post a picture of yourself. So, to save myself the trouble of Double posting (I mean, we wall know how I hate to make double/triple posts, in a days time
), I'll just add a picture here, now, that may fit with everything I just wrote. *silly pic, for silly post*
Have a splendid day, everyone!

I never quite understood how women did number 2 (And I realized how that sentence sounded just after I typed it so I'll assume you know what I meant, haha). For the guys, the only time I've ever heard of guys discuss such things regularly were the guys who played women or generally treated them as commodities. But from the way some of my ladyfriends have confided in me, it looks like it's not so much a "haha check this out, he's so lame" situation as it is a "well here's the problem I'm having" situation. *shrugs* but I'm not a woman so I don't know for sure.
Number 5 is really easy. It's because they can get away with it. If they weren't married and he were just another boyfriend who could easily drop her with little to no emotional or financial cost, it's almost guaranteed that she'd be MUCH more forgiving of his quirks.
And LOL @ 9.
women have short fuses with their husbands because that's who they're most comfortable with. i realized this after reading about why kids are more short tempered with the stay at home parent. they're comfortable expressing their emotions with this person because this person is always there. they trust them.
and as far as talking women into having sex? i don't get it. if you have to talk your WIFE into having sex with you then something is wrong. if you're trying to talk a random woman into having sex with you and you're mad because she's being complicated welllll........here's your sign. size def doesn't matter. i've had larger and smaller and frankly the larger are uncomfortable XD
Good post, I like the variety of questions.
i love this, particularly the last bit about fussing over everything. right on
1. No clue. I've never gotten into "shoe worship". They exist to cover my feet. Next?
2. I don't.
3.I'll never understand Twilight...but Eric is Man-Candy. So sue me.
4.I never understood padded bras either. Bu tmaybe you can explain to me why a woman's breast size counts more than her IQ?
5.Possibly because wives are CONSTANTLY dealing with an absurd shit level form their husbands? 24/7/365...it's there. Everyone else is optional. Kids we expect to need help from time to time, but do I really need to admire EVERYTHING you do, when you fail to notice most of my contributions?
6.Good intentions. And when was the last time you consented to eat something "healthy" unless a machete was involved?
7. Of course it matters. A man who is hung like GODZILLA can HURT you, if he thinks it's all "just about size". The motion in the ocean is more important, n'est pas?
8.Oh, i don't know...maybe because some guys make you feel like a whore afterwards? We don't require a dozen roses every time, but a cup of coffee after would be nice. And you get bonus points if you can remember our name.
9.Never saw it...but Serenity ROCKED!
10. It's not about perfect. Some of us feel like if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well...something you benefit from frequently...so don't knock it.
I agree wholeheartedly with @grizzlybearr as far as why women have short fuses with their husbands. It's just like teenagers will be tolerant & patient with their friends to a point but not so much with their siblings or parents. You know they will love you regardless & so you don't have to keep your guard up. Yes, it sucks for the one getting griped at, but take it as a sign that they trust you to love them for better or for worse.
As for discussing sex life. I was raised in a family where you did NOT talk about sex. When my dad found out I'd learned a bit in school about puberty & came home with questions for my mom (like "what's a wet dream?") my dad was FURIOUS about that & unhappy with my mom (an argument ensued) about her explaining certain things to me. *lol* I was 10.
So.... I do NOT discuss sex life. Now, if the girls on my birth board are asking how frequently other couples "do it" then I'll answer that question only. (It's happened. *lol*) I don't go into details with people. What's the point of that? Besides, I don't want to think about ANYONE all naked, bumpin' & grindin'. *lol* That's just not something I want in my head.
Shoes - I have 1 pair of flip flops, 1 pair of sneakers & 2 pairs of dress shoes. I have boots (hiking) but I haven't worn them more than a handful of times in the last few years. So I'm not a shoe person. MY HUSBAND, however, loves shoes. *lol* He's really learned to hold back & down grade since we got together.
Vampires. Yeah, I've read tons of vampire books. The Last Vampire series by Christopher Pike (own them), The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice (own them but haven't read ALL of them), the Twilight series (own them too) & the Vampire Diaries series (own them AND watch the series faithfullly). I dunno - some of them just have good storylines. I don't seek them out, but if I find one with a great storyline I'll read it.
I have not & will not read the Sookie Stackhouse books & I have not nor will I watch "True Blood." Not my type of story.
6 - I don't really do that.
7 - For me it doesn't but I've also not been around the block much so....
8 - It usually isn't. Depends on my mood & how my day has been.
9 - This is SO not me. I homeschool so that probably helps. I almost always forget thank you notes. *lol*
@MyTwoCentss - "Besides, I don't want to think about ANYONE all naked, bumpin' & grindin'. *lol*"
BAHAHA. No, kidding! lol that cracked me up, though.
@QuantumStorm - lol. And, yes, I think you're spot on with your comment.
@grizzlybearr - Yep, that all makes sense! I agree with all you said, too.
@galadrial - "but Eric is Man-Candy"
haha, yep yep!
As for men being hung like Godzilla, totally see your point. Never experienced that myself, which is why I didn't think of it, lol. But, yes, I'd imagine that would hurt. I liked your answers.
I love to shop, but I'm not a big shoe shopper. And I never got into the whole vampire craze, either. This was fun, and interesting!
@Megabyyte - Thanks....my motto is "It's not the bulk of the baton...but how you use it!"
'
'
@galadrial - lol, that's good! I like it!
I think I had something semi-intelligent to say but I lost it all at @QuantumStorm's "I never quite understood how women did number 2," lol.
@Grtt - lol, that was funny.
1. So you aren't obsessed with shoes. But I still want to know the answer for other women at least. I don't get it. Guys never look at girls' shoes. The outfit, sure...hair...probably ....but not once has the first thing a guy says to a girl on a date is "Wow. Those are really great shoes!"
Even more perplexing, this insane idea that girls can tell a lot about a guy by looking at his shoes. What's up with that?
2. I can see why girls would want to confide about issues concerning sex. But what's disconcerting is the general details girls like to talk about just for the fun of it. Its terrible that if guys ever hang out with his gf/wife and her friends, he knows that they know exactly what his penis looks like.
8. I think girls in relationships (particularly newer ones) are very sexual. I'm not sure...but the question might be referring to women having casual sex. The fact is, if a girl wants to have casual sex, she can walk into any bar and find a guy to have sex with in about 14 seconds. The average guy that wants to have sex on a certain night (with a stranger)...he's going to have to put in a lot of work and more often than not will be unsuccessful.
@QuantumStorm - LOL at your #2 comment.
I think the answer to the last question has to do with feeling like you've done good. If you feel the need to write a thank-you card, someone obviously did something to deserve it. If you want to bring in cupcakes for your kid's school class, it's a really nice thing to do for him/her and them. It doesn't matter the report card, I think it's about feeling good about doing good.
