3. yup, we're douchebags... |
|
all of us are (~95%) until we find someone that will: a)put up with our shit (at which point many give it up) or b) make us quit our shit. About 2 months ago, I was still an immature prick.. :P

6. no it just means my fiancée can see my computer screen |

so i "knew" what the right answer was. :P I'm a bit unusual though-- something of a male feminist (I couldn't give a shit what you got between the legs, it's your intelligence and humanity that matters) and I've got a great women to beat me into submission when I fuck up. haha

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with your ex. But there are a lot of good men out there.
Some of my bestest pals are men. I just happen to be gay. :wow:

18. My wife has stuck with me for 34 years |
|
26 of them married.
Maybe I suck out loud, and she deserves a medal for stamina, who knows?
But neither of us have ever been anyone else's ex, so maybe we just lack the necessary experience?

19. You should read "Out" by Natsuo Kirino |
|
Edited on Thu May-15-08 03:47 AM by bixente
A young woman reaches her breaking point and strangles to death her husband who was beating her and gambling away all their savings. With varying means she manages to persuade her friends to dispose of his body - in the end cutting up his body into small pieces then placing it all into garbage bags. ;)
I'm sorry if these details are too much! And all this happens at the start... sorry anyway.

21. Have read this one..very thought-provoking to say the least! |
|
There was a lot more to it, though, cultural things, etc. It was one of the best books I've ever read. Thanks for putting it out there for us all--I would recommend it! by the way..you didn't spoil the end. I'm glad you mentioned it!!

A social commentary. I took a lot out of it as Japan interests me a lot.
I'm giving it a re-read right now, I think I'll send you a private message sometime in the near future to express my thoughts on it. I'm very passionate about it.

Japan has a very interesting culture and this book was a stand-out in my mind! It was very sad to me. If you want to read about other cultures and their views on/or constrictions on women, I would also recommend, "A Thousand Spledid Suns" too. This one made me cry. I am now reading "Kabul Beauty School", which also shines some light on Afganistan and it's culture via a woman's POV...I have some others to recommend, but I will have to dig in my memory banks...

Not a book but a film still why not throw out its name? "Osama," directed by Afghan director Siddiq Barmak gives an account of the life of a young girl in Kabul who is forced to dress up as a boy in order to feed her family (all women). It's really beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

20. Just that one in particular did.. |

I've had my share of shitty relationships. I just don't let anyone come back after I am done. (Used to kill 'em and bury em, but my backyard now is all "ledge"..the graves were getting too shallow...) Don't let that stupid guy ruin your whole outlook! You will get to a point in your life where you won't "need" someone, and then, that's when you will find the right person, don't you think?
Men who suck out loud are ok, as long as you don't have a family member that might hear him do it--LOL!

39. It's only the lying, cheating, abuse and utter selfishness that sucks |
|
other than that, the guys I've dated haven't been 100% awful. Maybe just 75% or so.
I do have some nice male friends though...unfortunately every one of them is married. :-(
