Wow, it's terrifiyng to be a human being in a monogomous relationship, isn't it? I guess it's really all about trust, but wow, those comments top the cake. (Not the wedding cake though. :))

Catty Women

foxyc — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 16:01:33 -0600

You have a point. I agree that the example should be set by those in charge, but, I've seen some folks with the title abuse that standard. It surely depends upon the integrity of women as a whole.

Honesty does have its place, but, should we be brutally honest at another person's expense? I don't know, I just think women in particular should be 'intuitive' enough to know where to draw the line...

Office culture

nelle2nelle — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 12:33:22 -0600

It need not be this way.

Oh, people are human and we have moods, people get ticked at one another, etc, but an office culture can be set at a high standard where this is minimal, if everyone is on board.

I work with eleven others, and we manage just fine, probably the long term core group will have none of this nonsense. We focus forward, our boss watches our back, we watch hers, and we watch out for each other.

People often do not think that each co-worker is in fact a customer to us, and we really need to think in such terms when questions arise, and interaction takes place. I might have fifty cases ready to work, but if one of our newer adjudictors needs assistance, I will spare no effort to assist and guide them.

When a supervisor will have none of it, when most of the staff will have none of it, it is not very likely to surface. It all starts with... us.

Sharp tongues

mashadutoit — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 12:25:14 -0600

Some people just have such sharp tongues.

I've known a couple - and they have not all been women. They seem to have this ungovernable need to say that clever nasty thing that they've just thought of.

Is it because they are insecure? I'm not sure. But it can be hard because its always passed off as a "joke". I've often had to go along with it, pretending to laugh when its not that funny at all. Its quite humiliating, and it certainly erodes your relationship with the person involved.

What is worse - when it becomes that "I'm an honest person" thing. So their honesty gives them liscence to say whatever they like. Hmmm.

Thanks Denise, Just threw

My g/f made gingerbread vaginas once

So there's really no secret to baking vagina cookies. Use your favorite cookie recipe, mold the vaginas by hand and bake.

It's just easy...

I've experienced this before and I've always thought it provides an easy way for them to explain away an old relationship with having to go into detail and, of course, without accepting any blame themselves...

Some great babies health information.

They're ALL crazy, I say!

jadedthinker — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:41:18 -0600

I have wondered the same thing, many times. Why are their ex' always crazy? Was she not crazy when you met her? Or is she crazy because YOU couldn't figure out how to make it work? I wonder how many have called me crazy? It may be nice to take a poll, "How many people have you told that I was crazy?" I think it's a great idea not to date a guy who says his ex was crazy, mostly because I KNOW I'm not crazy!

All ex-girlfriends are crazy psychos

Because women MUST be crazy to leave a lying, cheating, abusive man, right?

You can't possibly believe

searchingwithin — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 08:33:48 -0600

You can't possibly believe that a mistress helped keep a marriage together, unless it was from the man's viewpoint. You can't possibly believe that the wives did not care, and more obsurdly because they were too tired to take care of their wifely duties, so they left it up to the mistresses.

The era that you are speaking about, left these women with no other choice, not only to earn a livelyhood from being a prositute or mistress, because their were no other opportunities for them, or to stay with a man who cheated, because they had no other form of support.

Women today don't put up with it, because the men are sloppier about it, but because they no longer have to live with, be supported by, and be degraded by a man.

Interesting study for

Dr. Polly — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 11:16:53 -0600

Interesting study for sure. There might be a correlation between IQ and sperm quality. It makes some sense from an evolutionary perspective. But I got to wonder about it. Our notion of intelligence is a very modern thing. I'm not sure it gets at what a succesful hunter back on the plains would be. Today's smart men might not be so hot tracking the next meal. So it doesn't make complete sense why IQ as measured by Spearman's would lead to better sperm.

Also, I suspect this study doesn't control for many other lifestyle factors - sperm are quite vulnerable to environmental changes like diet as many other supposedly more pure genetic materials. We know all kinds of things influence sperm health, including stress . Also, we're learning more and more about the complex interaction between genes and environment, finding that lifestyle choices effect the expression of a variety of genes. Makes me think there are definitely a number of other explanations for this correlation.

It's probably only a matter of time before we see Mind Puzzles for Men...

Lingerie, hands down

avflox — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 00:19:49 -0600

My understanding about the Victoria's Secret brand is that they're
moving toward a more comfortable approach to sensuality. Ever since
they began reshaping their image, I have found myself less and less
attracted to their products. I like the floss of thongs, feel of
stockings and confining squeeze of corsets. I buy them alone, with only
myself in mind. Sometimes I share them, but usually, they sit in my
closet to be worn some morning when I'm home alone and able to enjoy
them on me.

I have never asked the men I'm with what they think is sexy. To be
perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure I care. I might suggest I was a
terrible lover, except evidence points to the contrary. It's possible
there is a degree of selfishness in possessing your sexuality. You want
what you want and you're going to find someone who can give it to you
as fast, hard and often as you like. It's here and now or bust, baby.

That or I'm a Scorpio.
