Wow...I think I have just way too different a view of the world. Sure, stereo-types are based on a large amount of people that are evidence of said stereo-type...but give us a guys a little credit here! First, ladies, a lot of us guys understand you are looking for afirmations about yourself, fishing for compliments as it were, when you do the whole ask and compare thing. Does Angelina look hot! Yes, moronic question. You ask it more to get your guy in trouble then wanting a compliment. Its actually pretty passive aggressive behaviour, and does nothing but teach your guy that he can't be honest and open with you. Don't ask questions that you don't want honest answers to, and no, you can't penalize your guy for being honest (up to a point).

We may think about sex all the time, but we definitely don't always hear sex all the time. And the entirely lame series of "I think your nice/ We should be friends/ I'll call you," these are all brush-offs that I have goten many times - from women.

Men don't read minds. If we did then you women would be scared of us guys knowing what you are really thinking. Yes, we are straightforward in a lot of ways and don't understand exactly how you ladies communicate with each other, yet you persist in believing that we should know how. Now is your chance...teach your guy how to talk and listen to you! Teach him what you need and you'll find out what he needs. Stereo types like these are harmful when they are promoted. I found the video funny as hell, until I started seeing how many commenters actually buy into this. Now, I'm convinced I must be severely disconnected with reality...I know lots of guys, tons, that are not like this, and a lot of women that are like this. Stop pointing fingers and whining about the issue and do something about it.

This undervalues men as this is really sexist and elementary. Oh, and BTW, instead of the meaning for "I will call you, " it is now, I want your email...and he never writes - even after you send him the info he wanted for his job...

Wth...I don't think that when a woman says
"What a nice day" or "How do you get to Chestnut Street?" ...

Men come in different forms...You need to respect that...

From a guy...Next time, tell him you wonder if (insert favorite male celebrity) has a big dick. That will end it once and for all. Be sure to do it right after he says it, right then and there, so that he understands you aren't serious and that you don't mean to be a bitch. It's more of a "how would you feel if I did that to you."

Nice! Of course, the second question is, do you think he knows HOW to use his big dick (and not give you bruises on your thighs without an orgasm)?

lol, thank you jolly113 for ur advice, but i think there will be no next time! he made up for telling me this and he is being so cute n romantic!!

hey guys women are simple, we need love and we need to feel that our man we'll be here for us becoz when a woman falls in love she would do anything to take good care him and make him happy, it would be just great if she could feel the same attention from him, n i swear, if u guys stop being so clumsy, we' ll get along easier!

kmfdm341, Erm..That's not going to make mira8pe feel any better. You've not only said that her BOYFRIEND has crap taste in women, (how great does that make her feel) - but you also imply that Angelina Jolie is ugly, - the women her boyfriend has just told her is prettier than she is!! - & you're single right now because.....? Lol
