JohnB - Thanks friend. It's hard being a guy and we need something that explains why. I'm no shrink but I gave it my best shot and was honest about it. I will likely never get a date again if enough women read this, but I am doing it for the greater good of man. LOL!

Nellioness - Love ya! Thanks! I actually had a "feminist" come on here saying she wanted to deck me and that I'm covering up the fact that I'm scared of being a lonely old man. LOL!

Wheeeew...Thanks Ric, it was a genuine pleasure to read through your fantastic posts about "men's world". Good writing. Excellent style. Enjoyable details. So clear and explaining."Another thing ladies, when men tell other men they look great it's much different than when you say it to each other and it has nothing to do with feelings of homosexuality"and...

Marsha - LOL! I had to pull tough and menacing before when I lived in a very dangerous neighborhood in New Haven CT. People thought I was an undercover cop and one time they tried to get me to snort coke to prove I wasn't. I didn't touch the stuff and was able to talk my way out of it. Those acting skills sure payed off in that situation. That picture just cracks me up.

Deb those insight are greatly valued here because it gives us yet another perspective on a side I'm not exposed to. In a way, hearing what you have to say, helps me better understand lots of women and how they thing in a strange way.I am a selfish bastard and proud of it. :-P

If he won't shovel the driveway - then we call them "bastards"! hehe! Ok, bad joke. Ricardoooooooooooo, I would never want you to cover the homosexual aspects of it - I love hearing the hetero side of the world! I just love giving you a little piece of my life and the dynamics of it.

Dr.A - Good points. I have absolutely no issue with women wanting to have end enjoy many of the things that we men may take for granted. If there is inequality in the workplace or society and a woman's freedoms are restricted, then we could certainly use some feminism to bring things into balance. They have the right to want this and politically organize to achieve it. However there are radical

well, ricardo, it seems as if you have some cheeleaders here.....i`m not really sure what a feminist is, other than a political entity serving a group`s needs.if i was constantly going on about what i needed and formed a group or suggested membership in such a group with the express purpose of politically pressuring others to meet my needs, i would expect resistance......i question the motives of

MsQ - Yes I think this is some of the best work I've done and I stand by it. The issue with people like Kelly is they don't read and just assume. It's obvious from her comment that's what she did. Also it would not go over well if I went onto a woman's blog and insinuated that I wanted to deck her based on something she wrote and I took out of context. I don't see feminism with her, I see

Dr.A - Some of the hatred of men that passes for feminism these days would have Susan B Anthony turning in her grave. I’ve encountered many women who declare themselves feminist who really just hate men because they got dumped or passed over by guys in their teens and it's a carry over from high school that gets reinforced in college. I ask you, what good does that do to the ideals of feminism

i was refering to the bravado and machismo of feminism, another silly costume.....to extend the device.and to ~deb, i don`t mind people thinking i might be homosexual, i am tall, lean and fit and i dress well and am articulate in my speech and so i take it as a complement if that could suggest a certain sexual orientation.i am comfortable enough in my self that it`s not important what people

Dr.A - That's what's so funny. The so called "feminist" (cough....Kelly) thinks it's perfectly fine to take a swing at me and spout personal insults and I, as man, must sit there and take it because it's coming from a woman. And I guess the reaction of a man who has spilled his soul to a woman and had it rejected should not be mad at all because the woman has no accountability in a relationship.

oh and monique, please don`t be bitter....i learned something about myself and women this last year.i am an evolving spirit with the need to be in a relationship for all the human reasons, and women are delightful, enigmatic creatures that are as confused and desirous and scared and intrigued as i am.we can do one of two things.set up two camps and talk about eachother alone....or hang out

Deb - Thank you for actually reading and seeing the point of what I was trying to say. Most of my readers are women and even if they weren’t, I’m not the hateful type. I've even been called a bitch myself in way to show fondness! How about that? I could not cover the dynamics of a male/male or female/female relationships because I could not write about them with any real honesty or authenticity.

God, men have it hard, don't they? Living under this facade of "toughness" just so they won't be seen as a homosexual.I'm so glad I'm a lesbian!!! (ha) As far as the word "bitch" goes - this could be applied to men too...heh...but I didn't take offense to it at all, only because it was used in the context of "You don't understand me dammit!" So, it made sense. No hurt feelings. (I'll scream

KELLY - Well kelly, I was using the word as an example of how a man MIGHT think after being rejected. Not really how I feel. I think you're jumping to conclusions and misreading it all entirely. I do sense some bitterness in you.I also think you need to read the series before you make such a sweeping judgment on me. I question and attack bravado in this series.Furthermore I don't think you really
