We don't like it when you show us how to lift weights. We think it means you think we're fat.

We don't like it when you suggest going out to eat at a healthy restaurant, for the same reason.

We don't consider kissing another man cheating. But if you were to kiss another woman, it would be cheating.

Unlike you, we want to hang out with your family.

If you are responsible for our cat running away, the relationship will end shortly.

We want something on Valentine's Day, even if we said we didn't.

The more you know about pop culture, the more we love you.

We think it's gross when you stick your tongue in our ears.

There really is something reassuring about your body odor.

Any friendships you have with other women freak us out, even if we say it's fine.

As far as cats go, if he's mean to them, and probably if he doesn't like them, it ain't gonna last.

I dunno about hanging out with his family. All depends.

Other than that, there are variables....but I would be interested in the 'rules' of other women!

Contrary to that, I would actually like being instructed as to how to lift weights properly.

2. We don't like it when you suggest going out to eat at a healthy restaurant, for the same reason.

Contrary to this, I would be thrilled.

3. We don't consider kissing another man cheating. But if you were to kiss another woman, it would be cheating.

I don't kiss other men besides the guy I'm with. As for him, it would depend who he is kissing, and what kind of kiss. If it's his mother or grandma, and it's a peck, that is perfectly okay.

4. Unlike you, we want to hang out with your family.

No way! I don't want to hang out with his family. Visit, yes. Hang out??? Never.

5. If you are responsible for our cat running away, the relationship will end shortly.

No, it wouldn't end. He has to go find our cat and post a *generous* reward on flyers.

6. We want something on Valentine's Day, even if we said we didn't.

I have never said I didn't want anything on Valentine's Day. I think women who say that to men, with the opposite feeling inside, are playing a cruel joke on themselves.

7. The more you know about pop culture, the more we love you.

Wrong. The more he knows about pop culture, the more bored I get with him. The more time and effort he takes to know about ME, the more I love him.

8. We think it's gross when you stick your tongue in our ears.

I like it around the outer edges . . . very slowly, and lightly

9. There really is something reassuring about your body odor.

That is true, I always smell his sweaters and his upper body. They have a mixed scent of cologne and natural body smells. He thinks it's gross I think he has that new baby smell infants have.

10. Any friendships you have with other women freak us out, even if we say it's fine.

A friend of mine said that one of the more attractive scents for men was... Baby Powder?

I'm the type of guy who doesn't wear cologne unless I'm cruising to a bar/club... somehwere where I know there will be partying & women. Never at work or just on the usual activites of the day... it's a waste to me...

...on the other hand, uncleanliness (which is what I interpreted the statement to mean) just stinks.

posted July 17, 2003 02:01 PM         

I went out with someone who wore Curve and ever since...if I so much as smell it on someone it makes the person more attractive to me.

posted July 17, 2003 02:02 PM         

As for baby powder smell, don't like it and it definitely is not sexy!

I tend to think that if you smell someone's body odor and it repulses you, then you're just not attracted to that person.

Nope, again. (But then, I'm a college student - I'm usually up for any kind of food )

We don't consider kissing another man cheating. But if you were to kiss another woman, it would be cheating.
No, I think that I'd consider both cheating.

Unlike you, we want to hang out with your family.
Depends on the family.

A dude who doesn't have empathy for and rapport with animals is an automatic turn-off for me.

We want something on Valentine's Day, even if we said we didn't.
I'd not say that I didn't want anything

The more you know about pop culture, the more we love you.
Nope, although guys w/ extensive knowledge about something just plain odd or slightly eccentric always get me.

We think it's gross when you stick your tongue in our ears.
Heck, I'd worry about me having a waxy taste or something.

There really is something reassuring about your body odor.
There is, as long as, y'know, it's not true B.O.; as said above, the scent's the thing.

Any friendships you have with other women freak us out, even if we say it's fine.
I plead the 5th.
Ok, Ok - honestly, yes, but I've no room to complain; most of my friends are guys.

My two cents:
1)...show us how to lift weights...
2)...a healthy restaurant.
I would be THRILLED that he cared enough about my health to help out.

3)...kissing another...
For both parties, it depends on the kiss. A little kiss HELLO or GOODBYE? No Problem.
Full-on smacking? Not right for either one.

4)...hang out with your family.
If you don't want to hang with them, there's probably a reason. I don't want to be put in the middle of ancient issues.

5)...cat running away...
My relationship with you should be based on more than my cat. BUT, you BETTER help find him!

6)...Valentine's day...
I don't play games. I will tell you IF I want something. Same goes for other occasions.

7)...pop culture...
Nope! However, current events are another thing. If you are oblivious of the World around you, how long would it be before you are unaware that I'm in it?

8)...tongue in ear...
Weelll, there's a time and place for everything!

9)...body odor...
Dirty funk? No way!
That smell that is uniquely you? Absolutely!
BTW, baby powder is NOT sexy. Nor is heavy cologne. Clean, crisp male scent is.
Pheromones are powerful attractants. How can I pick up on them if you bathed in cologne?

10)...frienships with other women...
Hmmmmm...
Two criteria here:
A)Does the friendship COMPLETELY exclude me?
B)Do you spend MORE time hanging with her than me?
Both of those spell trouble. Other than that, no worries.

Again, nope, but I may not be thrilled with the idea for other reasons, such as, what if it all tastes like crap? Why waste a perfectly good evening out on food that tastes like crap?

We don't consider kissing another man cheating. But if you were to kiss another woman, it would be cheating.
No, I think that I'd consider both cheating.
But I wouldn't have the same guilt as I would if it went further.

Unlike you, we want to hang out with your family.
On holidays and stuff, for sure. Unless they were just a supercool bunch, then no-problem. But you'd probably want to hang with them too.

If you are responsible for our cat running away, the relationship will end shortly.
What would you have to be doing to a cat to make it run away, and WHY? What would you do to a child, then? This would set off alarm bells in my head.

We want something on Valentine's Day, even if we said we didn't.
Ok, this one may be true. Only because I want YOU to WANT to give me something. I don't want you to do it to avoid a fight.
But I realize this can back-fire into 'no gift, no card', and I accept that too, albiet with a little feeling of disappointment.

The more you know about pop culture, the more we love you.
Not really, but you should know something that we can have conversations about, or your a dead duck.

We think it's gross when you stick your tongue in our ears.
YUP! True in my case. But you can kiss around it and nibble on my earlobe, though. That's not gross at all.

There really is something reassuring about your body odor.
Only if it's mild. Overpowering body odor is just unbearable.

Any friendships you have with other women freak us out, even if we say it's fine.
So long as she's not a single hottie who you like to hang with, without me, it's ok.

Otherwise I stick to my guns: none of these apply to me, and even if some of them would, the explanations are way off

If he did something mean or cruel to make Mr. Whiskers run, we would have SERIOUS trouble!
I had to assume I would see signs of cruelty before kitty runs away. In that case, his bum gets a boot in it!!!

As a matter of fact, his feelings about animals, cats and horses in particular, are a big part of that first getting-to-know-you conversation!

2. I can only hope for a guy that will take me to a healthy restaurant!

3. It depends on who he is kissing, and the manner he is doing it! There are exceptions to every rule.

4. I've never hung out with anyone's family I don't think; most of 'em hate me!

5. Yeah most likely, ain't no one be messin' with my cat!!!

6. I would like something simple, but something that takes some thought. Lavish gifts aren't my style.

7. How does pop culture figure into a relationship?

8. Yeah, I'm not into that whole "touching" thing. So don't even try.

9. What? I'm not even gonna touch that one...
