Eff? You there? I'm gonna post the feather knickers to you, hun. Try wearing 'em inside out and see if this thread gets any more amusing, eh?


Inside out you say...
; )
well, I guess it would save on batteries--

Might spare Pig a bit of molestation too (but, probably not).

The chickens.

I forgot about the chickens.

They're not happy.

They'll be making a deal breaker thread, mark my words.

(I wonder how well they can express their anger and bitterness in the written cluck...)

yeah,

maybe a dealbreaker; they won't pay for their own coffee thread...

(already kicked in the fuschia stilettos and the fuschia boa, but maybe you want to add an orchid for their hair... it could work)



off to buy another 128 pack of batteries... and a charger... :)

They would be pleased that I am reducing my carbon foot-print by no longer needing as many batteries.

Just think how much more environmentally friendly the world would be 'if' Pig just wore that damned white shirt more often?

That would be winning...

Women think that the man is supposed to buy them everything, and they buy the men nothing in return. It's bs to think that all you need to do is, take, take, take.
----------------------------------
Then you are dating the WRONG Kind of women. You date someone that appreciates you just as much as you appreciate them.

I once used to be like you with a bitter attitude about women and how they always take take take and nag nag nag. Till I went on a date and got a taste of humble pie. I went on a double date and I ****ed my date over by not paying for her bill and only covered for mine. Her friend ( my buddy's date ) was pissed off at me for doing that and I held my ground and got into a verbal disagreement with her about paying for her bill. My date was polite, respectful and chilled about it thru out the date and still liked me. And to this day we are still good friends, not dating tho. After I dropped my date off I walked her to her door. She seen on my face that I was still pissed as ****, she kissed me goodnight and not to worry about me not covering for her. From that moment I felt like shit, for not covering her and for having such a jaded attitude towards women. That's when my defenses ( ego ) broke down and I realized that she is DIFFERENT from other women. Not all females are the same OP. I apologized to her about not covering for her and that I will make it up to her and she held me on that and I held my end of the deal and we both called it even. As for her friend we settled our differences but putting our money where ours mouths were by betting on little games or dares we would do and treated each other out as friends.

Point is one day when you meet a lady and you still have the same bitter attitude, she just might convince you to change your perspective, just like I went thru.

You're right, those ones are goose down.

Ooops, he's becoming disoriented, 3ff.

You see, OP? Gifts should be tailored to the recipient, even if its just a sandwich. Its so much more fun if you value the little things someones does for you...like making you laugh. What's the point of flowers and chocolates, if they're given out of socially acceptable obligation? The meaning of them becomes something other than trying to please your partner, they become about trying to please yourself.

If you expect a return on your investment, its not a gift, its a business deal. Personally, I get pretty peed off with something that I thought was potentially a loving sexual relationship being turned into an economic sexual relationship. Its makes a fella look like all he knows, is how to be a trick.

I'm not feeling the love in your original post, for some reason.

When I get jewelry or flowers from her, then I will do the same thing,


With an attitude like that, TRUST me when I tell you that most women wouldn't want anything from a man like you.


It's not like they are some grand prize at the fair that you have to jump through hoops for.

And what kind of women would want to go out with a man that thinks she "nothing special".....DUH.


You either want to go out or you don't.

Right....and if there is a women you are interested in....then you have to give her a reason to want to go out with you and hopefully it's more than just flowers or jewelry.

For anyone who proclaims that it's my job to dote on them better watch their step, or mine as I get up from the table and walk.

This is where we are at people. It's a cross road in the very dynamic of human pair bonding. The traditional roles of male and female are very quickly being modified.

Women with the mindset of gender equality have 0 right to be seen as a 'prize'. The relationship is the prize. If you try to say or express that in order to garner your affection that dinners and trinkets must be bought, then you value yourself as a posession that must be purchased.

We got a name for that, we call them prostitutes.

OK, so you're an equal partner right? Give me your seat on the life raft honey, I'll tell them all how liberal and progressive you were lmfao.

Do people honestly get the drift here? Although I am a tradionalist and gladly pay, open doors, etc.., I still find statements like "even though I demand equality you still have to pay'', very shallow and hypocritical.

You're an idiot. His point is well made, he means that in order to be in a true relationship (including courting), both parties should be "wooing" the other. 100 years ago woomen would bring men ice tea, or pies, or food as they worked in the fields, or wherever to show interest, nowadays it's pretty one sided. I'm not bitter, mean, or angry, just stating an oppinion. I do all the buying, giving, etc.. and it is always one sided. Maybe that's part of his anger over the cdurrent status quo.

This attitude of "winning" a woman or girl has always bothered me.

Women vary. Women vary on their convictions of what (nearly all) women want when it comes to several things. With that said, many women do want to be won over (passively seen as a 'prize' in the sense of a valued, wanted human being). Heck, we all do -- with those we're attracted to anyway. But due to culture, which to some degree has shed some of it's layers, it's still expected by most women that a guy 'wins' them over.

Problem is, when too many guys do that in the pre-dating phase to a particular (hot) gal, you're just another guy in the crowd. It loses it's value & worth & rarity to some women. Many of them will end up gravitating toward a guy who isn't trying to win them over... and with a preconceived notion that he is by approaching her, many guys find success by putting a "I like you but not all about you; Are you good enough for me?" attitude/projection. He becomes more of a catch. But within relationships it's different... but you shouldn't refrain from treating her to anything at any time because she's been lacking on her end of things. You should address that. Not all women are going to refrain from buying you an Xmas gift while expecting you to buy them one (unless they're dirt dirt poor and you've got decent money and you've been going out for quite some time).

I think both the man and woman should feel like winners... and if you don't, you're playing the wrong game.

Everyone has standards and expectations in a relationship. 2 or more maintane a relationship because those desires line up. Sometimes the standards and expectations change the endurance of the relationship is tested and decisions are made with happiness the center of the hopes. If your or her expectations are not acceptable then move on because if hers do she will move on for you.

I read some replies and I think this point may have been addressed. But here it is in my words;

You don't spend one dime on a lady because you want something in return. You buy her something because you enjoy it.
Now you can make a reasonable line from paying to some sort of kindness in return, but to expect it or feel slighted without it, is missing the point of doing it. She is NOT a HOOKER.
treat her with amazing love and you will(or should), get that back 10X Women are generally much more generous then us men.
Winning her heart or love has zero to do with spending on her. It has to do with really making her feel and be special.
I never write this stuff to make me sound better then anyone. It IS a FACT>>be generous, be sincere and be in love!!

Then you are dating the wrong women. Do you REALLY want flowers?? I never bought my ex flowers- EVER. I bought him video games and movies... and personally I'd rather the guy I date not buy me things he wants me to get for him, I'd rather he give me something that he saw and thought "she would love that" so he got it. your rant is immature and spiteful. if the woman you are seeing is not showing you any appreciation or love, talk to her about it.


I have to be won, and I sure as hell can't be bought! Especially not with flowers...

what a sad life you must have....
don't you ever volunteer to help someone more needed...
don't you pick up a piece of trash...knowing that the person behind you will have a more pleasant view
don't you flip a penny over on the ground..so the person behind you finding it face up will think they will have good luck
don't you smile ...just to brighten the other person's day

when you do only things because you expect something in return..it isn't a gift...it is bartering

I hope I never have to barter with someone I think is my friend....because in my book...they wouldn't be a friend...they would be just someone I would feel sad for....

^^^ Nowhere did he expect anything back. She was the one wondering why she didn't get a Valentines gift. Nobody is obligated to buy anyone anything. She asked and she got an answer, because she seems awful selfish. It is rude to ask for a gift.
