| Do you really like the opposite sex?
Posted: 11/3/2009 5:25:14 PM | I recently had coffee with a woman who made a very profound statement. What she said was this:
Most women dont like men. They like the idea of men but they actually don't like men.
I think, based on the actions that I have seen that this is an incredibly true statement BUT I bet women could say the same thing about men... that men like the idea of a woman but dont actually like women.
So two questions come to mind.
1) Do you REALLY like members of the opposite sex?
2) Do you think members of the opposite sex actually like the members of your gender? | |

I love women, much more than I like men. Granted there's only two things about women to love, their mind and their body.......
2) Do you think members of the opposite sex actually like the members of your gender?
That's a little tougher to answer. I think women don't like anybody, male or female. They only like their little dogs or cats or both...... | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 5:44:55 PM | Sure I do...most of them.
I like men a heck of a lot better than I do women. I find that men don't seem to be as petty and judgmental as a lot of women are.
As for men liking women? It happens. | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 6:23:22 PM | Not only do I like WOMEN, I LOVE THEM!!! All the differances between the sexes, makes it that much more enjoyable, being with them!!
It took me a long time to figure this out," It is best, to become friends: FIRST!! LOVERS after that!!" Could of saved myself a lot of "HEARTACHE and PAIN", if someone would of DRUMMED THIS FACT into my brain 40 some years ago!!! | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 6:28:47 PM | I like men and I like women, but I don't like all men and I don't like all women.
I have no doubt that most of the men that I have met have liked (loved) women, likewise the women, men. They are most certainly mystified and intrigued, confused and oft time driven crazy by the opposite gender. And then there is that pesky primal need to procreate, a force hard to ignore.
And I do like cats and dogs, but not for the same reasons I like men or women.
Oh what a crazy mixed up world it is, personal preferences are so fickle,
Good day | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 6:43:31 AM | i like females of all ages. some i like with clothes on and some i like naked. i like to hang with the "guys" and eat wings and drink a few beers with a very cute girl in short shorts and t-shirt serveing us.
i think the problem we run into about dealing with each other is we use our mouth way to much. we have 2 ears, 2 eyes, and 1 mouth. if people would open up there eyes, they would see what is in front of the.open up there ears and hear what the world is saying. if people would shut there yap life would be so much better. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 12:18:20 PM | Ha...how odd that is to me! I suppose I'm the exception, having worked with and in a a traditionally man's world/industry for many years. I learned early on, that we, as women can be very difficult to be around, and certainly to live with. Most are cursed with emotions that run amuck at the will of their hormones! Men seem to be more level, certainly more direct in their interactions and conversations..personally I REALLY like men....and I think most men like having a woman around, certainly like the closeness and "stroking" women tend to shower on guys they like. But I think when and if the emotional and intellectual connection is made between a man and a woman, the rules go out the window!

Posted: 11/4/2009 6:45:26 PM | I like the idea of men (ok ok maybe even love the idea of them) and In general I like men. Not that I always understand them. But I do like em. For who they are.
As friends I like woman too. And I like being a woman. (not that you asked)
Of course there is always the exceptions, but I don't think it is so much gender based.
There is good and not so good people in both genders.
I base who I like by their morals, their core values , WHO they are, not by their gender.
Hmmm....as far as the second question "Do you think members of the opposite sex actually like the members of your gender?"
LOL, I would hope so or I'm in deep chit. I would tend to think for the most part, yes.
I have heard more woman say they don't like woman, than men saying they don't like men.
I guess having sister's and close girlfriends (some I am still friends with since 5yrs old) I would miss not having girls to talk to.
I would find it hard to talk about some of the subjects I talk with woman about, .. with men. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 4:13:40 AM | ^^^^^^ I think it depends.
When I look back at my grandparents and my parents there were reoccuring themes: The women were always trying to figure out men. Men were always trying to figure out how to catch that really big fish in the lake.
Moral: Let women do what women do cause if you get wrapped up in trying to figure them out or allow their emotions to drive your life you are gonna miss out on the things that really bring you joy.
Men today spend way tooooo much time on trying to figure women out and not near enough time on enjoying life. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 4:58:32 AM | I spent far too much time married to a passive aggressive (first marriage) to ever "play games" again. Men and women should never ask me a question to which they do not expect an honest answer.
Q. "Does this dress make me look fat?"
A. "If you are asking me the question, YOU probably already think it does so make yourself feel good and don't wear it."
I'm still having trouble figuring ME out without trying to figure YOU out. I think the best line I ever read about this was in Hallie's profile. I'll probably misquote her, but it was similar to this, "The only time I'll play games with you, is if we are on the same team." So, yes I like the opposite sex, as long as they aren't playing games on another team.
I define the perfect romantic relationship as Friendship + Sexual Attraction. I had that once and wow is it great so I really don't spend any time trying to figure anyone out. I go where I want. Do whatever I want to do. If I meet a "hot" friend along the way, there will be another great relationship and if I don't, I've still had a fun journey.
And so it is!  | |

Thanks for reminding me of that Bob. I've since taken it off but I think I'll put it back on. As far as do I really like the opposite sex, the answer is what others said, depends on the person more than the sex. Their attitude, their values, their personality, etc. I try not to let preconceived judgments of any group of people in general affect my feelings towards any one individual, and it's not always easy. I often feel preconceived judgments are directed towards me and I don't like how that feels at all. I like some men and I like some women, but of course not all of them.
In general, to be honest, I do see a negative attitude and preconceived judgments from both genders to the other which we've witnessed in the gender wars here over and over again, and that may boil down to the core issue of whether one truly likes the opposite sex or not. Unfortunately we're all encountering too many people who justify those generalizations. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 8:03:22 AM | Let me add my 2 cents here. I definitely like men but I just don't understand them. I enjoy spending time with them, talking sports or life events, dancing and laughing with them, and if I am attracted to him, even hugging, kissing , and hopefully be able to become friends and maybe more. But recently I have realized that men do not like to work out issues that might come up. They prefer to stick their head in the sand and avoid the issue. Unfortunately, by doing that, they end up missing out on an opportunity to build a lasting and loving relationship that could stand the test of time.
I do believe that men also like women. I have friends of both sexes that I love spending time with. But as others have already stated here, I do not like everyone because that is impossible. But I do like most people. If they have a good heart and are generally nice people, they are usually all right in my book!
Peace, love, hope, and happiness to all! | |

Posted: 11/18/2009 3:27:26 PM | | Women are such nobel creatures, they carry on your name after you are dead. I think of each of them as works of art, sculpted in their own individual forms. They have inner beauty as well as an outer persona. Yes, i like the opposite sex. | |
