Mad Men

[anon361]

I love being taken out and fussed. I mean FFS, I don't generally have a problem with sensitive men, but some of this is being taken too damn far. When he starts having more products in the bathroom than me, I do have to question the balance of roles.
Now don't misunderstand me, I want my man sweet smelling, clean and groomed. But not necessarily, plucked, waxed, coiffed, bleached, buffed, manied, pedied, and concealed. That is taking the biscuit and my Mac makeup.

Ah yes, the pretty boy syndrome, hasn't really caught on in Ireland yet but it is creeping in, I blame the mothers and fathers, they had it hard so they are over compensating and mollycoddling their kids to a point where if they had to do a hard days work they'd be running to the beauticians to fix their nails afterwords..

I think what bothers me about the society we live in today is that sometimes men feel the need to be apologetic about who they are.

We're naturally hairier. As a result, there seems to be this marketing campaign telling us that we need to remove all hair on our bodies that isn't on our faces. From wrestlers waxed chests to footballers getting back sack and crack done. And don't forget to moisturise!!! lol If I wash and my skin feels tight, it's because I've washed properly, not because I need Nivea.

We have more testosterone in our bodies. As a result, we can be more subject to certain emotions like anger and the like. This is perceived as negative, when anger can be a huge force for action. Indeed, the lack of anger in this country seems to be indicative of the economic situation we find ourselves in (unlike France this week, for example), but I digress. Anger can be a huge motivator.

We are emotional. Now, I am not a woman, so I'm not going to draw similarities between how intense female emotion is with respect to male, but the fact that males in their 20's have a very high suicide rate in this country is indicative of a problem in releasing their emotions (in my opinion). We get lonely, happy, depressed, elated, all of those things. We should be allowed to show it, just not in a youtube best cry ever kinda way. lol

Men and women are equal. As a result, I will treat them equally. I will open a door if I get to the door first, but it's not because you are female. I expect you to pay your half of the bill unless it's a present. Just as I'm not into overgrooming of males, I don't like overgrooming of females either. I keep clean, shave, keep myself fit, and have been told I smell nice. That's all I need.

I like to be treated with respect and I absolutely will respect you in turn. If I talk to you, it's because you have a brain and I find you interesting, not because I'm trying to analyse you. Most escorts I've met have been genuinely interesting people.

Now all of this is not saying that men and women are the same. We're not. But we are equal.

Well Said EG, I think in all honesty the biggest issue we face as men and women now, is accepting that it is ok to be different. Women are women and men are men.

I've tried, I've bit my lip, walked away from the PC, even sent a message via pm to try and refrain myself but I can't, if I passed this opportunity Benny would never forgive me, so hear goes and can I apologise in advance:
Of course they're different, women smell funny

Are we? At the end of the day whats different when it comes to dealing with each other? Women have men by the daddy bags in that they can use their sexuality as a weapon against a man ,like the great equaliser. Beyond that is their really that much of a difference as far as what we perceive in a partner? I say partner because anything else ,bar a persons kids or parents if you get along with them ,dont mean half as much.

So when it comes to partners , are men and women that different? What a woman would like in a partner , a man would like to. Someone they can get along with, have fun with , talk with, live with etc.

I can see your point to some extent, but you are focusing on just one particular demographic here. I've know men that control their wives/girlfriends so they don't always use sexuality as a weapon. It does happen the other way round too, it's just not as prominent.

True. I think men are far more scared of the woman leaving them then the man leaving the woman and i think women knows this too which is probably why they can use sex as a weapon. Women seem to be far more sociable. A single woman in her forties would do alot better than a single man in his forties. She wouldnt be as troubled about things mentally. At least from what i have seen this seems to be the case.
