Coming from Mars is so less complicated

I'd argue it's stories like this that 'put women off sport', and also 'put women off being women'

BBC News - Women athletes fear pressures over appearance

The only people who believe in the 'perfect' woman is...wait for it....women.

Brainwashed by 'girly' magazines to believe that all blokes want either, the latest fashion stick insect, Jodie Marsh, Cheryl Cole or (god forbid) Katie Price. It's typical that this piece was written by....wait for it..... women.

I think of myself as a typical bloke, ok i'm well past my prime but I can still look and admire. :P

Us typical blokes don't have an ideal 'perfect' woman, we like fat, thin, spotty, unblemished, smart, dumb, shapely and unshapely. We most definitely do not like the airbrushed, malnourished, publicity seeking rent-a-totties in the aforemetioned girly mags.

Women fought for the vote, then they fought for equality, now they appear to be fighting amongst themselves over what makes them attractive to men, without actually asking..men!

Apart from a few teenage years, only thing ever attracted me was personality.

Glad to see there are some decent Martians out there after all!

Well I always thought women were from Venus and men were from Mars

I always admired intelligent men

but never found one that fancied me.

Maybe I wasn't intelligent enough for them

The perfect Woman ............ is a fabled myth !

Most of us fellas will settle for myth right now.

Then when we get older & more sensible ???? If our Lass is prepared to put up with us & do for us warts & all, well then, I'd say we're pretty close to finding perfection.

Of course, a fantastic ass and a nice rack are great too

"Personality" and stuff like that complicates things too much. Maybe my mind never left its teenage years.

If a man wants a true, loving, loyal companion, he should get himself a dog.

If that was true all men would be dead before they were 40.
The real truth is, that the day after the wedding the nyph dies and the maniac lives on as a punishment. Adam must have really upset God over something, and he's had it in for the rest of us ever since.

You only even need two phrases.........or maybe three if you really want all the brownie points.
1) I'm sorry(said in a tone like he means it)
2) I was wrong(again, said like it is meant)
3) You are right darling(see the riders on 1&2)
Life would be far less complicated if boys were taught this from about the age of 4.

Now I'm going to duck!

Why is it that men have to apologise, especially when its the female thats wrong most of the time. There are 3 kinds of logic, (1) a 3mm nut will only fit on a 3mm bolt. (2) computer logic which only a few nerds understand. (3) female logic which is as wide and varied as there are women on this planet, and operates in 28 day cycles, so female logic is 28 x years x number of women on earth.

Margaret Pilkington · 08-07-2012, 21:03

Not for me Retlaw, the cyclical logic disappeared more than 20 years ago...and as for the rest, refer to rule 1 and 2...and you won't go wrong.
Happy wife means happy life.

Three things

Too complicated. Men don't do the multi-tasking stuff. Unless of course it involves watching the game, drinking beer, eating pizza, and operating the remote.

Men need know only one thing: When a man hears "quality time", its time to head for the hills.
