Pfffttt! What a dumazz comment!
I know we don't need them to but they insist on doing it anyway. They just aren't happy unless they are trying to run our lives for us.

I don't know who you mean when referring to "they" ... I am a woman, and I certainly don't do that. I don't tell anyone what to do .... Never have. I wouldn't consider myself "the boss" ... Pfffttt! I wouldn't even want that job. My hubby and I have a very mutual, honest and successful relationship ... and have had one for over 30 years.

Granted some women do love to overly control things .... I just wanted to make a point .... again .... Not all women are controlling manipulative and all deceiving like you guys are trying to portray. Good grief, you guys ... you can't deny that men themselves also can have those exact traits...To the point of being physically abusive...That's why there are women shelters filled with abused families ... You don't often hear of 'men's shelter's' now do you.

Geesh ... if you guys don't like the women around you so much ... or anything about them ... I think you'd better set your standards a little higher ... and stop bottom feeding.

I know you are a woman. The they comment was made so as not to get personal unlike you who made the "dumbazz" comment in your response to me (which I ignored). My original comment was purely meant to be humorous. I obviously cannot speak about any women that I have not met or had the pleasure/displeasure of knowing.

I'm going to shut up now before I dig myself into a hole I might not be able to get out of.

HEY! Knock off the serious response crap! We (men) are allow to rag on women (all of them, as a singular unit) in the same manner you (women) are allowed to rag on men (all of us, as a singular unit). It's all part of the game.

To me it is an end of life crisis. I need to get all the things that I want while I can.
I heard that! Same crisis, older clock ticking down.

Unless you haven't noticed, this is the Internet. We are all spread far and wide ... don't know each other from Adam .... and have no idea if you are kidding or absolutely serious....unless you say so. Sometimes it's very easy to recognize teasing, sometimes it's 'ragging' as you call it, sometimes it's simply venting ... and sometimes it's not.

We have many on this forum who make many uncomplimentary and down right insulting comments and are VERY serious about it.... especially about the opposite sex. So when you make a blatant comment...don't be surprised if you get a 'reaction'.
