OK living with all guys is wonderful, I now know how completely lucky I am. My niece is here from Florida, she is 17 and for the first 5 days she was here, we had 2 big blow ups that I have no idea what I did to piss her off so much. She threatened to leave twice and called her dad crying that I was a "horrible aunt". She went over to stay with my dad, because I was breathing wrong (joking on that part, but it felt that way)
When I was cleaning her bathroom trashcan, I noticed it was "that time of the month", everything made sense now. Well today she is back to normal, the sweet niece I knew and loved, came back and once again I was the best aunt ever.
Geebus what the hell, why on earth aren't all guys gay, I swear to god if I had to deal with that on a monthly basis I would kill myself. I thanked Chuck for putting up with "my cycle", because if I was even remotely like that (which he assured me I wasn't, but I think he is lying for fear of his life) I would have a sex change.
Sorry to put this in this thread, but there wasn't a thread titled "Girls are fucking crazy"

Good story, Jodi.
The first time I lived with a girl (other than my mom), it was just a roommate situation and for the first couple of months we got along really well. She laughed at my jokes, gave me space, I gave her space and we always had great conversations. Because of that I thought things were going well. She was six or seven years older than me but really attractive.
One day I was watching TV and she came home, told me about her day, went upstairs and came down in really short shorts, a t shirt and sat down beside me on the couch. This was strange, hadn't happened before, but I noticed... her. A lot. The bouncy nature is what I'm getting at here. She starts smiling, talking to me, her hand kept touching my knee and I started to get... happy to see her. Very happy. To avoid the embarrassment I said goodnight and went upstairs and did some writing.
After that she made my life a living hell. Everything I did was wrong. My cooking stunk, my music was crap, I was too big, too messy, whatever I did she would notice and complain about. Finally after a couple of months she kicked me out and I had no clue what I had done to deserve that treatment.
So I talked to a female friend of mine and told her the story and she just gasped. Apparently, I was supposed to take my roommate's actions as a signal to change the relationship and instead I acted like she wasn't worth the effort, which dealt a blow to her self esteem. And that made her look at everything I did and find fault and try to force a confrontation. As soon as my friend said that I just dropped my jaw and opened my eyes wide: It had never occurred to me that she might find me attractive. Not once. By acting like a gentleman and not exposing her to my... excitement that night I actually insulted her without knowing.
My lack of confidence ('she's too hot to be interested in me!' was my way of thinking at the time) looked like dismissive arrogance leading to a bad situation.
I was just glad I finally got a reason, not knowing what I'd done wrong was driving me crazy.

Steve I was beginning to think we were going to get a "Penthouse Letters" moment :0)
Peter after this last week, I feel for you.
It's funny, I tell my dad about it, like I have solved the big mystery of life, he sort of just shrugged it off like maybe all woman acted like that. Oh fine, I then realized my mom, my sister and me had shell shocked him with our massive bitchiness and this was just another day at the office.

in my previous job we'd use a magnet on the top right corner of the white board to mark our co-worker's cycle. She never noticed.
Then there was a monday i got there and my friend had left 5 magnets!! Friday couldn't come soon enough...

I think it's rather a question of some men (and women, to be frank) seemingly going after every woman (or man), no matter what. The seemingly part stemming from the fact that there are very rarely long term occasions (especially if out and about in bars and clubs and the like) where there'll only be one or even a few available. Which means that said people most likely have the opportunity to go after plenty of fish, without going after all.
Besides, far too many people have set attraction parameters. And even those who don't really (myself included) nevertheless don't feel attraction to every single being they encounter. The attraction parameters may not be set, but nor are they all inclusive on the individual level, as it were.

Well, some of us just happen to, erm, enjoy the, um, girlie parts, Jodi. Damn it, we were born like that, it's in our genes, we can't help it! Happy now? ;)

My mother and my two sisters synchronize.
In fact, Peter, women who are together in a tight group DO tend to sync up -- that's social science for you.
Way back in '95 when I was out on THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES nat'l tour, there were 30 women on that show -- "show-girl" types (many taller than ME!) to wear the Erte gowns and strut in the background.
Well, those gals did indeed get in sync and there was an ugly, ugly time when the moon was in a certain position that a man didn't dare go NEAR the dressing rooms -- even the gay guys.

Why -- I hadn't even noticed! I'm 3000 posts old!
Let's see, I've been a member here since '05, so that's four years...
That's 750 posts a year, which averages to 2.05 posts a day.
Two opinions voiced a day? I wish in real life I talked that little...
