Relationships.

[reddragdiva]

Women are insane. Men are much simpler: easy to get into bed, throw computers, steak and porn at them and fuck them every now and then and they're no trouble.

To quote beady: If a man opens his mouth in a forest, and there's no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Women are insane.

Oh dear.
Oh dear oh dear.
Methinks it's time to run and hide somewhere flameproof :)

I originally said this in conversation with two lesbians, one of whom was upset at a girl who had no interest in her but was clearly a serial relationship addict. They concurred. "It's such a pity I don't fancy men, really."

We don't *all* like steak.

[reddragdiva]

"Quorn" doesn't sound nearly as good in context.

Neither does it have the same effect on testosterone, apparently.

If only that were actually true, the men in my life have generally proved to be *much* higher maintenance.

the_fiend you hate my third option.
Amaya You're not a third option
Amaya You're a case study

So you have scientifically provable better taste in women than men?

[wednesday]

Feh. The answer is that women just need more/better steak and porn. And recent Macs.

I think in many cases the problem is with women who don't actually like (i.e. are happy to be friends with) men, don't fancy women but still want a partner (otherwith they'll be single - a fate worse than death, fatness or clashing handbag and shoes). Then they expect the man to act as an honourary female and get all surprised and upset when their boyfriend asks like, well, a boy.

I'm sure there's a converse problem.

Doesn't the Mac count as "better porn"?

[wednesday]

Mmmm, depends on the night. The Mac can be used to obtain and/or display the porn more effectively than many other tools, mind.

i can type!

Um, it's only perspective that makes the grass look greener

Guys are weird; girls are flighty.
Vibrators are always cooperative even if your body isn't.

Re: Um, it's only perspective that makes the grass look greener

[reddragdiva]

Oh, yeah. Go bisexual: discover both are crap!

[reddragdiva]

My current theory is that many people, women more than men although there are plenty of those too, are actually addicted to relationships, just as if they were a drug and particularly in terms of (a) the effects of withdrawal (b) the junkie-like transparent rationalisations. (b) is the source of a great deal of crazy.

You forgot the best choice of all: just give up people altogether and live on a mountaintop trying to impregnante the heavens.

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

I must dispute this and point out that they only *seem* high maintenence because being men they don't radiate contentment which makes females think they're not and thus try and try to make them that way.

first response: well then clearly I've secretly been a boy, all these years. mostly. minus the "easy to get into bed" part. and i am divided on the issue of porn. but i'll take computers, steak and sex, no problem.

i think there's just a startling number of people with a crazy bitches problem, and it isn't just the men, either.

[reddragdiva]

Oh, definitely.

[rufus.livejournal.com]

yesssss.

back when I still read girl magazines, there was a whole article in British Cosmo on the subject of, essentially, how to deal with being single and/or relationship withdrawl.

[echo-echo.livejournal.com]

No, he's still right. :)

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

...And you've only just noticed?

[echo-echo.livejournal.com]

Only a woman would say that! Macs are computers for girls. :)

[wednesday]

Yeah, tell that to my boyfriend the Mac admin. :)

[ali-in-london.livejournal.com]

well then clearly I've secretly been a boy

Oh, I'm with you on that. I much prefer playing by the boyfriend rules than the girlfriend ones. Mainly because most of the girlfriend rules don't actually make much sense to me.
