How to impress a woman

Wine her,
Dine her,
Call her,
Hug her,
Support her,
Hold her,
Surprise her,
Compliment her,
Smile at her,
Listen to her,
Laugh with her,
Cry with her,
Romance her,
Encourage her,
Believe in her,
Pray with her,
Cuddle with her,
Shop with her,
Give her jewelry,
Buy her flowers,
Hold her hand,
Write love letters to her,
Go to the end of the Earth and back again for her.



How to impress a man

Show up naked ... Bring food ... Don't block the TV.


After seeing the title of this thread, I couldn't resist dragging this old joke out for your consideration.  :old:

I thought I'd "stir the pot" with this one.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the actress Sharon Stone.

How many of us have watched that one particular scene of hers in Basic Instinct?

This is a quote from her that I have always found amusing:

"Women can fake orgasms but men can fake relationships."

The lady does have a sense of humor.

I'll probably catch a lot of flak for this post, but oh well, the devil made me do it.  :devil

Pleasing women:

1.  Hookers:  Pay them

2.  Wife:  Pay them.  Say "Yes Hun".  Dont have #3 or #1.

3.  Girlfriends:  Screw their eyeballs out.  Pay them.  Having #2 is optional.  Having #1 still viable if done secretly.

First and foremost not only would it be a HUGE mistake not to invite me the uninvite for the mere reason of being a CM seems a little harsh but, I understand you are naive to just how fun the CM team can be so I will cut you slack on that one.

Last but, for sure not least the real reason is I am too old ... party days are over so my aches and pains say! They need much rest and since my bedtime is probably your dinner time I could not make it anyway.  :D


Hope to see you on June 11th. maybe so I could slap ya' but, I could throw my back if I did so I'll be nice. :angel:

The secret:

Be disinterested in pleasing them. Be interested in how they can please you, knowing full well you can always find another women.

The problem for men:

This is extremely difficult for men who actually have a soul to pull off.

The problem for women:

This quirk of female psychology almost guarantees they will fall in love with a string of soulless bastages and blow off whatever "nice guys" come their way, unless they are lucky enough to run into a genuinely nice guy who can pull off a seamless "soulless bastage" as needed.

when I was young, I found this to be the truth.  the women I treated like crap always stuck around me, no matter what.  the one's I treated nice, normally left really fast because I was boring.  as i got to be in my 30's that didnt change. but I wasnt gonna treat any woman like crap like when I was in my 20's.  took me a long time to find one that wanted to be treated nice.  now I am in my 40's and still find that woman will gravitate to somebody that treats them like crap no matter the age, some dont, but most do.

Women need 3 things.

1. Food
2. Water
3. Compliments

The truth is there is no "right one" or "soul mate." If you're lucky you'll just find a mate. Someone you can deal with on a daily basis. "Happily ever after" is a mirage. How many married couples do you know who are really happy? How 'bout in love? Very few. Not talkin' about newlyweds here. Talkin' about the veteran couples who have put in at least 5 years. And throw a couple of kids in the mix and forget about it. I bet less than 1% of married couples are truly happy. It's sad but true. Not sure if the single people are happy either but that's a story for another day.

Title: Re: Pleasing Women
Post by: Penguin on May 24, 2011, 12:42:38 PM
My parents still love each other, hug and kiss.  When they disagree, they talk it out like mature human beings.  I even have a brother, so kids don't seem to make a difference.  There's a difference between a fairy tale life and real life, there's no doubt in my mind about that.  It's true that married people disagree on things, that's just human nature.  The happy couples don't let it crush the fact that they love each other.

Don't expect it to be perfect, but if you pick the right one, there'll be some perfect parts.

Here are the facts: 50% of marriages end in divorce. That's 1 out of 2 right off the bat. Of the remaining 50% how many are truly in love? How many stay together for financial reasons? How many are having affairs but come home to their spouses and put on a happy face? How many give the appearance of being happy?

On a more personal note, I'm divorced. My brother is divorced. Of my 4 close friends whom I have known since grammar school, 2 are divorced, 1 doesn't speak to his wife and the other guy claims he is happy but hits on every girl he sees when his wife is not around. My mother and father are together but not happy. My mother's parents were not happy. The only case I have of a couple being in love is my father's parents. Funny thing is they had nothing. Never owned a home. Never bought a new car. Had almost no money in savings yet they were happy. Maybe there's something to be said for that?

Wait, there's more. My dental hygienist is divorced. My electrician is divorced. The old friend I ran into last Saturday at the supermarket is getting divorced. And on and on and on...

I'm in the wrong profession, sounds like I should have been a divorce lawyer.

And by facts you mean a number followed by 20 questions  :lol.  Who came up with the 50%?  You have to include your sample with your results or the numbers are just garbage.  Remember the bread thread?  I bet you 90% of divorced people eat bread.  What conclusion should we draw based on that fact?  :lol

My point of personal experience statistics.  So 10 couples you know are divorced and therefore that applies to the world.  Care to share a few more details like the demographics of where you took your sample.  I can tell you that you, your brother, and your friends count as 1.  The reason is that you share the same experiences been brought up with similar values and believes, etc.  I hope you don;t take this as an attack.  I am just trying to show you that even if at the end you end up being right, it would be pure luck and not due to statistics.

In my home town I knew of 3 couples that were divorced.  Does that mean something?  Does it mean I just did not know of others or that things there were perfect?  I have no clue, but it would be foolish to assume anything about the world based on my limited knowledge.  In my neighborhood now I  know of 0 divorced couples.  Again, does that mean something?  It could be that I don;t care enough to find out or that 100% of marriages don;t lead to divorce (according to your statistical model).

Marriage and Divorce
(Data are for the U.S.)

 

•Number of marriages: 2,077,000
•Marriage rate: 6.8 per 1,000 total population
•Divorce rate: 3.4 per 1,000 population (44 reporting States and D.C.)
Source: Births, Marriages, Divorces, and Deaths: Provisional Data for 2009, table A


Been married once, was in love for many many years, but my Ex in the end was too needy and thought marriage was a problem solver for her and when it didn't commit to her she stopped commiting to it.  She went looking elsewhere for what she wanted and found plenty of seductive promisses, but to this day nothing that has ever made her happy or content.  She left me swearing she was to never get married again, that it wasn't working out for her, that I never listened to her and I was the reason everything failed, etc. etc..  The seperation never made sence to me for the longest time: she hated and blamed me, it was all my fault - she didn't want to hear from me - she wanted to stay in touch often - she wanted stay friends because I was her best friend - she would compliment that I was a good and kind man to her and a winning catch for another worthy woman... square pegs don't fit round holes, and this was all I heard from her for well over a year as I tried figuring things out and picking myself back up. 

It wasn't until after that time though, when she began loosing her faith and trust in the guy she had been with and that she had met and been talking to before leaving me, that she started really talking to me again and that's when I pieced together what really had happened to her and our relationship a long time ago.  What bewilders me the most is now and today she's back to where she was over ten years ago, looking for a decent guy to meet and eventualy settle down with and eventualy start a family with.  So today I only fear for my own future and any other single man's out there exposed to these women (or a couple of the other crazies I've had the displeasure of dating since) in "the sea", and I'm in no rush to find them and can only hope nobody else is either.

One of the funnest pictures I have ever seen.

      So for exercise, ask a man to describe the most perfect woman he can imagine in 50 words or less, and he can do it. Ask the same question to a women to describe the most perfect man in 50,000's pages or less, and she can't. p.s. it's kind of true. :)
     

But see who can do in 15 minutes or less.

where I live in fontana, california.  all my friends older than 25 have been divorced at least once.  I actually dont know any person that hasnt gotten married/lived together with at least 2 partners.  so I think that 50% is bs, i am pretty sure it's 99%.  fun fact of the people that I know that have been married more than 10 years (remarried) they all have cheated on their spouse.  The only person that I know that has lived with the same person for 10 years and hasnt cheated is me.  and I came (not literally) pretty close to it many times.  then again sheep dont count  :banana:.
