Had to start a thread after spending some time in the "A moment of cattiness et.al". This, in a perfect forum, would be a place to ask questions of the opposite sex that have you confused...and hopefully an answer will be forthcoming. This is not meant to degrade into a Sophmoric discussion, but one of a serious and austere atmosphere...unless of course it just happens to slide.

This thread could just disappear into the archives, or it could be an interesting way to talk about things that have confused all of us for a long time.

Enjoy!

Holding until you get back, Captain.

Hhhm! Okay, Is the old wive's tale about the relationship between the size of a guy's feet and his penis really true? Ditto for the one about the size of his nose? 'Cos that would be really handy advertisement (not that these things matter of course )

So far as I am aware, this is not true. Size cannot be determined by anything other than actually looking at the item in question.
I have heard of this old wives' tale, but I can't seem to locate anything on it's origins.


Here's one for the females, then.
Upon meeting a male of "dating age", what is the first thing about them you focus on? (something physical, they way they talk, etc)

For me personally it is the attitude. Obviously one notices if a person is really attractive, but the attitude is most important.

I don't deal well with negative people. So thats the first thing I notice, are they a "happy" person or not.

Ummmm... First thing I used to notice, back when I noticed, because of course now I NEVER notice men other than the one I'm married to, was... Thighs. And it still would be, if I still noticed. Which I don't. (Which is why I also don't watch Viggo Mortensen's dismounts from his horse in Hidalgo over and over and over again. And again.)

Some of these tales are sort of true for a guy who is proportionally shaped. But not quite the way you have it. It is true that from the base of the hand to the end of the middle finger will be very close to the same size. Also the fingers will defiantly give a clue to girth albeit not directly proportional - Both of these work for a woman with regards to the size of the birth canal, but why would anyone care about this?

The foot is the same length as the distance between your inner elbow to the base of your hand, you can try this a home and see for your selves.

But like I hinted at, it does depend on the person being a genetically proportional body type. Different rules for mutants ;)

There are for sure more of them as the human body has many synchronicities.

Yup, thighs are good!!
I've always had a weakness for a well defined chest (which makes me feel really shallow as I'm not 100% buff myself!). Strangely the male arse, that my friends all rave about, usually leaves me cold. As opposed to a well crafted female rear, which is truely a work of art!

you are very brave sir, going into that den of feminestas...i steered well away from that one.....

and while i am not nearly as confused by the opposite sex as i was some (mumble, mumble) years ago... the odd question does arise.... i've always wondered why some women prefer a life more akin to a day time soap opera than a stable, loving homelife....

is it the bad boy thing...? cause when i'm bad, i'm very bad...and when i'm good....well...i haven't been kicked out of bed for eating crackers, if you get my drift.....

Grizwald, I am a male that knows his limitations . There are a number of things I "know" about my wife, and many things I understand about females in general (yeah, right, try and convince myself of THAT one!), but I am a willing student of female wiles, and a semi-expert at male wiles.

The flirting thing has always had me intrigued. I am (or was...well, maybe still am) a flirt, and I love the concept of openly flirting (my wife is the same way, neither one of us is jealous of the other at all...weird, long story only if you are interested), even if it never leads anywhere. I prefer "classy" flirting as opposed to "here's my room key" type of thing.
And I always notice eyes...not necessarily color, but eye contact.

I wish I could answer your question! I didn't want a bad boy, I wanted the stable home life and look what I got! But that is a long story. I think that some women equate nice and stable with boring which is not true.

Like I said, I like Happy (they don't have to run around smiling like an idiot - I guess I mean optimistic), intelligent, confident people who are kind and that have a fun and playful sense of humor.

(Being in a fantastic cult phenomenom wouldn't hurt either

I was the only female in my family (other than the ones that married in) for a couple of generations. I spent all my time with males and they flirted with me. It is just the way I learned to relate to them.

It has its ups and downs, I am often dismissed as being not intelligent, but those ones soon learn

The pro is I generally can get things done faster. (course woman hate me)

Dayve, yeah, it was kinda scary at first...I was afraid to say the wrong thing or have my thoughts misconstrued and end up with a virtual beating, but it turned out alright. One thing being a male; I try to think through what I am going to say before blurting it out when females are involved. I have Neanderthal-like qualities at times, as most males do, but I prefer to act like a more enlightened individual. I find I make more friends that way .

Okay, I have a question mainly for the women, but Tristan seems to know his stuff so I wouldn't be surprised if he has an answer. I have heard that women with small breasts have more sensitive nipples. How true is this? My wife is very well endowed and hers seem very sensitive. What do you all have to say?

Simon: What if he(Mal) tells you to kill me.

I...umm...thank you, Lysander? I am no Dr. Ruth, I mean...um, the male version of her, but if that comment was meant seriously, then thank you...if it was meant as tongue-in-cheek, then

The experiences I have had are all over the spectrum with this. I have come across very sensitive nipples in all sizes, and some that do not want their nipples touched AT ANY COST because they are uncomfortably sensitive (again, various breast sizes, as well). I have also had the few experiences where there is little or no sensation at all...that's an ego killer right there.
I would hazard to say males are the same way as far as nipples go...I would rather mine not be messed with because of the weird feeling (the thought of piercing makes me climb walls), but there may be some males out there that enjoy having them played with.

My two cents. No, let's hear from the experts!

Not intelligent? Who are the hundans that told you that? And speaking of intelligence, for me, that is one of the first things I notice about a person. Being able to have a stimulating conversation is an attractive trait. 'Course, there is something to be said about big and dumb. *drools over picture of Jayne*

I wonder how anyone would know the answer to this? I mean, sensation is so subjective. Any studies would have to be based on anecdotal evidence, wouldn't they? Hmmmm. (Pondering the imponderable here.)

No, it was not meant as a tongue in cheek thing. I've read what you have posted here and on the other thread and you seem to know what you're talking about. I wouldn,t say anything negative to anyone. I don't even know any of you. I'm just stating what I've gathered from your posts.
I am just like you in that I've heard several varying answers and I have also had varying experiences with sizes and sensitivities. I don't think there is a set answer, so I'd like to hear from some of the others.

I also do not like to have mine messed with. It is a weird feeling. Just me!

Lysander, thank you for that response. I have noticed on the board a lot of playful sarcasm, and it is always taken well by all parties involved. I was not angry, irked, insulted, etc., but I did think it could have been a "funny" remark, and I was prepared to take it well. I love sarcasm
Never fear to "insult" me or give me a hard time, even if you don't know me...I can give back what I get and enjoy the exchange! This is for the most part a very friendly forum, and there is a lot of good-natured baiting going on.

Alright, back to the nipple issue...seems Lysander and I both prefer ours to be left alone...any others?

First thing I notice: the grin/smile/eyes lighting up when talking about something they love. Shows a passion that one might be able to tap into at a later time/location

Soap Opera bad boys: I don't want a bad boy in life...i want a bad boy in the bedroom. That can sometimes be hard to find among the respectful, intelligent, funny, creative, dorks in the world...but not impossible.

The nipple thing is subjective and it sounds like a study is in the works...i like it...and i like to find out if he likes it...

Question for both: What the hell is up with "flirting"? Is it not enough that two people are attracted to one another? Why do you play silly monkey games with each other?

Questions for women:
Look at your wardrobe. How many articles of clothing do you have that hug your ass and thighs? How many shorts come above mid thigh? How many tops "accentuate" the area that they cover? WHY? That stuff CANNOT be comfortable.

On a related subject, makeup: You look better without it, and even if you don't, oh well. Why do you spend any amount of time trying to put on a fake face? Oh, I've heard it before, "I do it to make myself feel pretty, not for others to". Bull-Crap. I spend just enough time on grooming myself to not offend others with BO. Anything beyond that is superfluous.

A finally... stop wearing perfume to the gym. It's hard to breath deep on a treadmill when you're sucking up chemicals from the thing in the annoyingly bright hot pink tank top next to you.

Questions for men: What the hell is your problem? Since when has manliness been defined as indulging in your own desires? How about some FREGGIN restraint? The universal measure of masculinity is and has always been SUFFERING. Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character. You deny yourself temptations and you grow as a person, and to become a man you undergo a ritual, a trial of endurance and pain to make the transition. What are our rituals today? College hazing? Drinking as much as possible and fucking anything that moves? Damn you and your filthy heathen ways! And now we live in a country of 30 year old BOYS!

Gorram it, man.

Have you ever:
Used your teeth as wire strippers?
Given yourself stitches?
Made improvised munitions with no base supplies?
Pissed in a canteen?
Gone a month without bathing?

If so, you MIGHT just be a !HOOAH MOTHERF*CKER!

Jayne, to me, seems to personify the football hero. He is strong, forceful, and base. He knows what he wants and the easiest way to get it. He also looks out for himself foremost, and others only if their well-being is good for him. All of this is not meant to be insulting to the character. There is a bit of him in every male, and it oftentimes comes out. He is also intelligent, and there were a few glimmers of that mentioned in above posts, and loyal (even if his idea is skewed {Ariel, for example}). I like his character; he appeals to my "bonk them on the head with a club" parts.

I would have to agree with Chris when he says that the ladies don't need make-up. My wife stopped wearing it shortly after we met and I think she is more beautiful without it. I'm not sure what the comment about the 30 year old boys is. I don't think that there is anything wrong with acting young as long as you know when to do it.

Tristan, great question. I have been with my wife for 12 years and married for 8. We have gone through some rough times with illness but never had a problem where we have really fought. I do beleive that trust is huge in a marriage but I think the thing that works for my marriage is that my wife is my best friend. We talk about anything and everything and there's nothing kept secret.

I also don't think that there is a problem with flirting. I have an excellent relationship with my wife, but we both have a tendency to flirt. It doesn't go beyond that. Again, much like Tristan said, it is a long story. It makes people feel good and I like to make people feel good.

What moron said everbody hates Chris? Was it Fox? Whatever. Alright, question for all the teenage girls out there:

In general, would you feel unattracted to a guy if was a crapload smarter than you? I've learned from experience that it does, and have suffered greatly from my damn 156 i.q, as lots of girls immediately classify me as a nerd or a geek.

(Just realized the irony of that statement.)

Not to travel into the realm of fantasy (wait, isn't this board dedicated to....no, it IS reality), but I am a follower of the idea of chivalric love. "You have a significant other who you love and are devoted to, and you flirt?" Well, yes, let me explain.
Flirting is an art form, and at it's higher levels, can be as exciting as love. The chivalric ideal was to love someone in every way but physically.
Lysander, as a fellow medievalist, you may be able to help me here.
It's sort of like having the beginning part of a relationship, the intense, adrenaline-inducing part, last for a long time. My wife and I still have this; we still flirt, we are best friends, and we also fight together (literally, like with swords). Both of us are flirts, although I have slacked off lately.
It's not that easy to explain in words, but it is almost a game; an intellectual pas de deux that enriches both lives without creating the akwardness of an affair of the flesh...

Any of this making sense, or have I managed to tree myself?

Lysander....help?

For anyone in the 'verse that could give me a bit of advice. My quandry has recently come to a very surpising head. A "friend" has recently distanced herself from her other, albeit lesser half. My best friend, (who happens to be female), warned me about becoming "that guy". Everyone knows "that guy". The guy after someone serious who somehow snaked his way in despite being a total gorram tool. My mistake may or may not be the fact that I've not allowed myself to give in to the only great woman that has excited me mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually in TEN years, (and I'm 28). I've already made the decision to peraue her, but I'm in serious help on how.
PS. All the guys I asked agreed with the wrist to middle fingertip thing.

My only concern would be whether or not she is married. That would make a world of difference. If she is, be her friend until the divorce is final, then see what happens. If she's not...well, I would still be careful. It would also be helpful if she felt the same for you.

Holding until you get back, Captain.

I find that it isn't really the things I DON'T know about women that puzzle me, but the things I DO know about men.

As a guy, I don't really care to know why women go to the bathroom in packs (because I assumed it wasn't the reason I wished they went in there together). I do wonder who invented the urinal buffer rules? Do they still apply if there are dividers? Why is there that one guy who insists on peeing next to me and then tries to start a conversation?

I don't really care what physical feature women check out first, as I can't really change any of that. I do want to know how a girl's interest in you is so "subtle" that you don't even notice until it's too late, and then it's all to apparent (guilty of this on several occasions).

And I swear God gave men unreliable brains because certain parts just don't work when women are involved. I mean reason, judgement, and sometimes coherent speech? Nonexistent in the presence of certain females.

I have accepted that women are quirky (I think that's putting it kindly) but the fact that men are fundamentally simple, and we can't even change that of which we are aware is what puzzles me.
