When I first signed up for Facebook...that happened to me within one week.

Lame.

I think that's the tune the chick was humming when she was reading me the riot act...though it came out more like a scream, than a hum.

Logging onto FB usually means "Who the fawk is ______?!?".

And then the ensuing bicker.

This week I was friended by 5 separate "Mesojedniks". Go figure.

They're everywhere...hide your women and children!

What's with people's attempted befriending on Facebook if you don't even know them.? ..And even worse, WTF is up with all you people I know becoming friends with people you don't know?

Mesojednik = Some obscure family that originated from Slovenia. Same place my grandfather came from in 1907. They specialize in banking and killing. Not necessarily in that order.

Heard they are bacon hoarders too . . . . . .. . .

WOW...what a great resurection!

This thread has been an entertaining read, cover to cover. Outstanding work by all involved. To detract from the quality a bit and bring this thing back down to Earth, I have a couple of thoughts:

1. As good as this thread has been, it could benefit from participation by at least a couple more females. This thread has all it needs to appeal to men (female bashing, reassurance from other man types, prostitutes, threesomes, promiscuity contests, pornography, Clint Eastwood movie lines, invitations to a scrap... the list goes on and on.) Aunty provided a few good shots on behalf of the fair sex, but she seems to be a bit too sympathetic to the male cause to comprehensively represent the female contingent. Of course, one reason there wasn't more female input might have been that there are only a select few females I know of who are members here (even fewer of whom dare to frequent the Dark Side), but....

2. What makes relationships difficult to maintain in the long term (and sometimes the short term as well) is the set of fundamental differences between men and women (Fellahs: Do not use that line as justification for any behavior that can honestly be attributed to nothing more than your being male - unless you do want to fight). The one thing we all have in common is that just about everything we do in our lives is centered around sexuality. Men are driven by their innate desire to spread their genes as far and wide as possible, while women are constantly seeking the ideal genes to seed their progeny. As honorable as it is for a couple to keep a marriage intact until death do them part, the work required goes completely against our nature. The reason adultery is so prevalent in human societies is that it is more natural than monogamy.

3. You gotta love Clint. All the lines referenced here are great ones. One that is perhaps a bit more obscure and I really like is the line from The Eiger Sanction where he takes a good-natured stab at his nemesis. I can't recall the whole line, but it starts (paraphrasing) like this:
Pope, you're an a$$hole. Now you can't help that, but....
Perhaps someone else recalls that line and can finish it for me. All I know is that it puts me on the floor every time I hear it.

that is why I have steered clear of facebook

Monogamy is common in the wild, but life long monogamy is not. It's a survival mechanism for protecting young. Believe or not, in most species, the female is the promiscuous one. For many years it was believed that the male was (in nature), because it fit with the male domininant norms/traditional thinking. In the wild, a female can benifit her fitness the most when she is socialy monogamous, but sexualy promiscuous, therefor secret sex lives take place with many species. Multiple partners aid sperm compitition and promote genetic diversity, while monogomy aids the purpose of rearing young. There was a study with ducks where the more males she porked, the more eggs there would be in the clutch. This has been noted in many other species too. In our close relatives, the chimps and bonobos, sex is practicaly a form of social bonding. But then again, gorilla males have harems and will sometimes kill babies to win over a mate.

I think being pussy whipped is just a survival mechanism.

Praying Mantis females will rip the head off of the male and eat it during copulation. When it is done, it will finish him.

I get into enough trouble browsing FB, on my kids account...

Between PP, Ifish, Steelheader.net, and Youtube my times taken.

Believe it or not, Darwin didn't study sexual selection that much. He didn't write about it because he didn't know about it- he didn't assert a knowledge that wasn't there. He did take note that some barnicle species that he orginaly thought to be A-sexual, did have males, they were just microscopic and basicaly spent their life as a sperm factory. I did learn this stuff from a college course in evolutionary biology that I took last quarter. If you would like to dispute my thoughts, here's an easy read:

Cool.

bwp:

I'm no psychologist, but I was taught what I believe to be a few very basic human truths by both college professors and life experience. Perhaps I didn't elaborate as much, but what Jgrizzle posted meshes with some of the basis for my assertions. I was making a generalization, which is why I kept it short and sweet.

Note that I understand there can be exceptions to general rules, and you may well be one for all I know. Sadly, I can't make that claim myself. Most of the stupid things I have done in my life can be attributed at some point to attempts to woo or somehow impress females.

And, lest I forget, I could be wrong. My brain ain't what it was before I went and got pussy-whipped.

A Truly Wonderful Short Story!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag or bitch !


But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.


The End

"One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag or bitch !"

That was Eve before she learned to speak.

As you whine and bitch...
