Expose a myth about your sex here!

[Khephra]

I'm a man, and I like cuddling more than sex.

[Ellen Forradalom]

1. I'm a woman

and I could give a shit about diamonds.

[7th_Sephiroth]

41. i'm a man

and i will cry during a sad movie, have somewhat of a fassion sense(but i AM bi),and i like to cuddle

[SonofMass]

66. I like fassion, too

!!

[gobblemy]

73. Men like super thin women

actually more men like more ounce for the bounce.

[LauraT28]

115. I'm a woman

and only have 4 pairs of shoes and two purses.

:-X

[TXlib]

87. I prefer fission to fassion (sic).

But I prefer fusion to fission.

[MrScorpio]

2. Republicans hate sex

They must love it.

They're the biggest bunch of serial breeders in the world.

They just hate it when you're having sex without them

[whirlygigspin]

3. I'm a man and I love shopping!

and personal care products...does that make me gay or french or both?

lol

[OldEurope]

44. I´m a woman and I HATE shopping!

Perfect couple, eh?
:hi:

[TXlib]

88. makes you a metrosexual.

[GOPisEvil]

4. I'm a man, and I've never had sex with a woman on the same night I met her

The next day, maybe, but not on the first date. :shrug:

[VelmaD]

Weirdo

:P

[GOPisEvil]

14. Guilty as charged.

:D

[Generic Other]

21. That's not what all those brokenhearted women say...

Mr. Casanova. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

22. Who's been out getting laid with my body?!?!

I have not been made aware of this! It's not fair! x(

[VelmaD]

23. Yup, I know the truth...

he's a slut and he leaves a trail of broken hearts (and bodies) in his wake. ;-)

[Nevernose]

79. Is it for lack of trying?

Or some kind of morality thing?

[GOPisEvil]

86. Neither. Just not my preference. (nt)

:shrug:

[the_boxer_]

5. The only myth about sex for me is

that I'm getting any...

:-(

[Liberal Veteran]

6. Myth: Sex is good clean fun....

If it's clean, you aren't doing it right.

[toddzilla]

9. I don't care how big your boobs are..

there, i said it. I don't know how many women i've met would talk about getting their boobs "done" when they looked fine just the way they were.

[GOPisEvil]

12. I'm with ya there. Just go with whatcha got.

But then, I've always been attracted to other parts of the female anatomy. :D

[arcane1]

30. Amen toddzilla...

:toast:

cool name too :)

[supernova]

32. LOL! My

32Bs thank you all! ;-)

[chicaloca]

33. likewise....

I don't care about penis size, as long as it's not so big that it's painful! I mean, really, who came up with that ridiculous "bigger is better" idea, anyhow? (Probably a Republican.....)

[GOPisEvil]

52. Marry me, broccoli girl!

:D

[LynneSin]

89. Amen Chica!!

It's not how much you have but what you can do with it. I've had the best orgasms with someone who wasn't well blessed down there.

Go figure!!

:shrug:

[areschild]

122. Same here. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

60. Agreed

Besides, i'm a leg man. Nice legs are way more important than large breasts. (Looking from afar, of course. I didn't marry a pair of legs. I married a smart, educated woman.)
The Professor

[Kat45]

7. I'm a woman, and I'd rather

fuck than cuddle.

[Djinn]

16. I'm a woman

I hate shopping - especially for shoes and clothes

&

I have always driven big cars (and changed my own oil) no hatchbacks

This of course brings up the other stereotype - if you're a female who likes big cars and hates shopping you must be a big ugly butch lesbian, I'm hetero a size 8 and while no model am quite acceptable looking and my legs aren't hairy

[Piltdown13]

31. Right there with ya on the shoes!

I'm a woman, and I just can't seem to get into the whole shoe thing. Maybe it's the cost -- it always seems like an awful lot of money for something that's such a small part of the outfit.

Actually, it's not really that I hate shoes, more that I never have learned how to pick out good ones. Generally I have two pairs of boots (one black, one brown), one pair of loafers, two pairs of sandals (one light, one dark), and two pairs of dress shoes (one bone, one black) at any given time. I don't buy more til they wear out...go into the shoe store and my eyes glaze over from all the selections. And then I wonder why I don't have shoes to go with so many outfits! (Oddly, I seem to be pretty good at choosing clothes that look good -- according to friends and family, anyhow. Just a shoe-related blind spot.)

[dreissig]

20. Where Do You Live?

What are you doing Saturday nite?

[Kat45]

26. LOLOLOL n/t

[absolutezero]

62. i believe I can be of some service

:evilgrin:

[supernova]

8. I'm a woman and I like gadgets

of all kinds, esp AV equipment: stereos, cameras, 'puters. any machine really.

[populistmom]

10. Women need men for fix-it jobs

I have painted our house (inside and out), refinished several pieces of furniture, removed carpets, and installed multiple shelves on plaster walls. Over the next few months, I have more projects to do including tiling and refinishing hardwood floors. I like to be feminine and girly, but sometimes I love nothing more than some sweaty, laborous, yet creative household project.

Oh yes, I love all my varieties of power tools!

[Cleita]

11. I'm a woman and I am sweet and gentle.

:wtf:

[SOteric]

13. I'm a woman, and I'm not particularly interested in marriage and babies.

In fact, if it doesn't happen that'd be spiffy.

And if it does, I'll suck that up and drive on too.

[VelmaD]

17. ditto...

only I'm more definitive about it. I'm not interested in getting married. Got nothing against the idea of a long-term committment but I don't wanta get hitched. Don't wanta be pregnant either - not when there are already kids out there that need a good home. :shrug:

[supernova]

19. Torn at times

I'm OK with not having a family most of the time. I'm not very social. And am extremely selective about my friends. So I'm alone ... at lot.

But sometimes.. I find myself wistfully looking at baby shoes, or breast milk supplies, or overhearing others talk about taking little suzie to dance class or teddie to soccer practice.

And I get wistful.... *sigh*

[populistmom]

27. It's a trade off, supernova

As a mom, who was also a mom very young, I had to put so much of me on hold for so many years, settled in situations in my marriage the last few years because of the children being so young, and finding my nitch amongst people in the mommy world has been VERY hard, if not downright impossible most of the time. The things I read about (mainly political), the things I enjoy seem foreign to most women I'm acquainted with here in suburbia.
On the other hand, there is a certain sense of satisfaction that comes from seeing these people grow into smart, decent people because you helped give them what they need to be those kind of people. Then there's the whole baby thing. The way they smell, feel, etc. and to sit there and cuddle and nurse your baby is just a really special feeling, a love like no other I have felt.
Someone once told me that in life, when you make changes, you trade in one set of postives and negatives for another set of positives and negatives. It's kind of true.

[supernova]

28. So true

nitch amongst people in the mommy world has been VERY hard, if not downright impossible most of the time. The things I read about (mainly political), the things I enjoy seem foreign to most women I'm acquainted with here in suburbia

That's true no matter where you go. Most of the women at my church, I don't have much in common with. They're either on the mommy track (and that's the sum total of their conversation), or they are much older than me so their frame of reference is different than mine.

Just for laughs, I found myself defending TuPac and M&M at our monthly meeting the other night, to some very confused and horrified faces I must say! LOL!

I really don't know another woman who is as polictically aware as me and also likes discussing art, movies, etc.

[Piperay]

42. Yeah, same here

I am in a committed relationship, he would like to get married but I don't want to now and I don't believe I ever will. :shrug: :-)

[BiggJawn]

101. So how you gonna resolve that?

Sounds like my situation. I wanted to get married, she doesn't. We don't even live together.
How would you feel if he "drifted away" and found someone who gives him what he wants?
Actually, I don't want to get married, either. there's "issues" that have to be resolved before I'd think about it again.

[Piperay]

116. We don't live together either

I know he isn't real happy but I think it would be worse if I gave in and married him when I don't want to be married. I don't know how it will be resolved in the end. :shrug: :-(

[smirkymonkey]

92. Neither am I !

Also, not into fashion, shoes, or romantic dramas (on screen or otherwise.) I dress nicely, but simply.

Also, I can get ready to go out in 10 to 15 minutes. Little mascara, lip gloss and off I go.

However, I still consider myself quite feminine.

[VelmaD]

15. I love sports...

all of them - everything from football to figure skating to luge. I watch hockey for the fights. I watch football for the strategy and the tight white pants. Same with baseball. Saddest day of my life was when basketball players started wearing the baggy shorts.

Seriously though, I'm also really good at math and prefer sex to cuddling.

[BiggJawn]

102. If you like tight pants, check out cyclists...

Spandex-O-Rama!

[WindRavenX]

18. I'm a woman and...

...I'm a science fanatic (LOVE physics and chemistry and biology and all that jazz!!), LOVE baseball (and not just because Derek Jeter's ass is the greatest thing on earth) and sports, I LOVE being agressive, and I HATE diamonds as well- if you MUST buy a ring for me, don't spend a lot of money on me. Get a nice blue gem or something, but diamonds..blech, everyone has 'em.

[Generic Other]

24. The myth about me being a wild nymphomaniac

is slightly exaggerated. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

29. LOL!!!!

:D

[LincolnMcGrath]

25. I am a Man

I have custody of my three boys. I manage to raise them without relying on a weekly entitlement check.

[REP]

34. I'm A Woman

We don't all think that babies are 'cute' (I think they're nasty) or dream about becoming mommies. In fact, some of us go to great lengths to avoid the mommy-thing.

[Blade]

35. I am a 21 y/o man...

and I love to shop. (Only if I have money. Otherwise, it sucks.)

[MercutioATC]

36. I'm a man and...

1) While I'll allow that it may be due to some deviant psychological issue, my sex life is all about how much my partner enjoys the experience, not if I "get off".

2) Post-coital cuddling is cool.

(I DO, however, "commando-shop". I'm In, I'm out, objective acomplished)

[bubba_fett]

37. I don't care what anyone tells you...

Cosmetic surgery is just gross. Biggest turn-off ever. I don't even like make-up on women that much, special occasions only.

And I don't like anorexic women, you need to have a little meat on yer bones.
/rant

[smirkymonkey]

96. Thanks Bubba!

you have just restored my faith in men!!

I live in NYC, and here it seems that if your aren't anorexic (I am a size 6/8, and that is considered heavy here)and don't wear the latest fashions, aren't glammed up every minute of the day, and haven't had any plastic surgery - you are pretty much out of luck in the dating game.

Nice to know all men aren't that shallow!

[bubba_fett]

103. no prob

:D

[slinkerwink]

38. women can fart..........

It's true....we pass gas.

How do I know this? Well, I sat behind a girl in the campus center, and I heard her let one out, and the smell of bananas came up....




I don't fart, of course. :-p

[Guaranteed]

55. Awww geez, Slinker

you're ruining women for me. :)

[ornotna]

108. I have only one question

Where the hell do you get your bananas?

[tedoll78]

39. I am a gay man..

and I prefer video games to hot sex!

[Piperay]

40. I'm a woman,

a real "girlie girlie" type but I love hardware stores (can spend hours there) and tools, I love working with wood and building stuff. :shrug: :-)

[JVS]

43. I am a man, and in foreign countries I will ask for directions.

[private_ryan]

82. me too

will ask for directions ............to the gas station after I run out of gas trying to figure it out on my own.

[dry99]

45. I'm a guy

but i spent 3 hours in a mall yesterday looking for a freaking potato ricer. I feel ashamed.

[WoodrowFan]

46. men don't REALLY urinate in the sink when the wife isn't looking.

men don't REALLY urinate in the sink when the wife isn't looking. oh, wait, yes we do. Well, I don't, but I hear some guys do.

[JVS]

50. It depends on mood

[TXlib]

90. I don't care if she's looking; I'll pee in the sink anyway.

[jpgray]

47. Fake breasts are not attractive

Those plastic, unmoving, *things*....

Where's the shudder smiley?

:scared:

That will have to do.

:)

[Le Taz Hot]

48. Where to start?

I'm a woman and HATE shopping and am completely disinterested in jewelry.

I'm a woman and LOVED having one-night stands. ("Say, what'dyou say your name was, anyway?" -- 10 points for anyone who can guess the author of that line.)

I'm a woman and when I was single, had NO interest in long-term relationships. You were on my "A" list if you lasted 3 weeks. (SO didn't expect Mr. LTH to come along and fought it like a maniac for a LONG time.)

I'm a woman and I love NASCAR and football.

I'm a woman and I hate hangin' out with other women at parties. All that talk about childbearing and how brilliant their little darlings are -- goddess, just kill me now!!!!

I'm sure there's more, but it's early. B-)

[THUNDER HANDS]

49. Alright, I guess I can jump in here

This thread ain't been banned yet... :D

My myth about sex is that all men like oral. I don't. There, I said it.

[GOPisEvil]

51. Damn. We are related.

I don't care for it much either.

[Kamika]

53. here's a big secret from our secret language

If we say "maybe".. and we're smiling.. it usually means yes

[private_ryan]

83. we know that Kamika

but now we don't want to be charged with things :)

[Kamika]

106. I didn't know you knew..

Some guys have a hard time picking up clues..

[private_ryan]

114. eyes do it for me

I don't think you can lie and not show it. Plus it's obvious that women like guys just as much as guys like women. However, these days you have to run around with consent forms even before even puting your hand on her thigh :).

[jukes]

54. male, here.

Loathe sports.

[ACK]

56. I am a man and the whole thin as a rail beauty ideal is repulsive to me

There is a distinct difference between being curvy and being overweight.

I find women who actually have a healthy figure to be attractive.

Women who are painfully thin are not attractive to me and neither are women who are obese.

I am just weird like this?

[jpgray]

57. Good one! Slimness through starvation looks kind of scary (nt)

[absolutezero]

64. anorexic women

remind me of ann coulter...:puke:

[ProfessorGAC]

58. Athletic Is Better Than Heroin Chic!

Give me a Mia Hamm (or Mary Pierce,or Serena, or Venus, etc.) over any supermodel.

I've been in an elevator with 4 supermodels (while in Milan), and while they do have marvelous facial features, being 5'10" and weighing 105# is not very attractive.

Also, it's pretty certain that most athletic women don't have implants. I would think overly large breasts would be an impediment to their skills. (Think of the aggressive movements requied in b-ball or tennis.) Not that large breasts would necessarily limit anyone's talent, but fake enlargement would be added, and unnatural weight.

So, athletic women stike me as more attractive and more real.
The Professor

[GOPisEvil]

59. As usual, you are right on, Prof!

:thumbsup:

[ACK]

61. athletic or even in a normal human weight range ..

That would be nice.

Gwenyth Paltrow use to look nice but now the women is so starvation thin it is just scary. Geez...

Mia Hamm is a very nice looking woman. Who was the player that took her shirt off? OMG, she is just hot. Not stunning or lovely but just ... well you get the picture.

When I was in Europe, the women walking around London or Paris all had figures. Not a lot of obesity or really tight athletic looks. They just all were a normal human weight range and they looked good.

I hear people saying that Maryln Monroe would be considered too fat for the movies nowadays but she was beautiful.

I am with you all the way Professor.

[ProfessorGAC]

63. Brandi Chastain Is The Woman You're Thinking Of

Actually that whole U.S. Women's World Cup team was full of attractive women.

Being in shape makes one look nice, i guess. And, world class athletes, men or women are in pretty darned good shape.

Among my faves, though. Women sprinters. Lean as can be, but with curves, if only because the muscles are so well toned.
The Professor

[ACK]

74. Talking about breaking stereotypes and here we are

In a deep discussion on what kind of women we find attractive. :evilgrin:

Oh well...

Sprinters are usually so tall and lanky. But that is just me.

Soccer women though OMG .. the whole woman's soccer league was incredible. Too bad that did not last.

Back to watching tennis I guess. :spank:

[ProfessorGAC]

76. How Are These Stereotypes, Ack?

I do like women. I like the way they look. That's not a stereotype. I can't be a stereotype of one! Right? And, i don't deny the fact that i find women attractive. Hey, i married one, remember?

I think the stereotype is that all men care about is looks. But, the thread is about gender myths. So, talking about it is on topic, and women are part of this thread.

Actually, we're undoing some stereotypes about men liking the skinny ones with big boobs and not liking strong, competitive women. That's the purpose of the thread. Again, am i right?

So, if anything we're dashing stereotypes, not reinforcing any.

So, why do you think we're reinforcing stereotypes? I'm confused.
The Professor

[ACK]

81. Reinforcing the stereotype that men talk all the time about women ;-)

I just kidding anyway. That was what the evil smile was for, silly.

[private_ryan]

84. Mia Hamm (or Mary Pierce,or Serena, or Venus, etc.)

not my types at all. Too muscular

[Djinn]

105. Not at all ACK

I'm a size 10 (which is a size eight US I think) a year ago I was a size 6 (which I guess is a size 4 US) as I was in a really stressy shit job - after leaving I put on 10 kilo's (sorry don't know pounds -when are you Americans going to get with the metric program???) in a month and I've had HEAPS more whistles, car toots and chat up attempts than I ever did as a rail thin, rock hard flat stomached chicky.

Strangely - only women ever told me I looked good before NO blokes, and it's been all the guys I know who've commented how much better I look since gaining the weight.

Any hetero chicks starving themselves are really wasting their time

[Astarho]

109. Yes, thank you!

the difference between "curvy" and "fat" is too often overlooked.

I love curvy women

[maxanne]

65. I'm a female

and I don't like hugely muscular or wicked hairy guys.

I don't gravitate to the conventionally handsome.

[smirkymonkey]

97. Me too...

I would rather see a man's body that says "I enjoy life, I'm sensual" (meaning a little extra weight doesn't bother me at all - think it's sexy) than a body that says "I'm a control freak, I'm vain, I spend hours at the gym and just look how pumped I am" YUK - muscle men totally turn me off!

So do perfect looking guys - I like a little mystery, something unique looking. Especially big noses!

[bearfan454]

67. Pillow talk after we're done and holding hands

I like a lot too.

[XNASA]

68. We enjoy cooking. It's true.

We just don't like cleaning up.

[jpgray]

69. Seconded. (nt)

[buddhamama]

70. i'm a woman who dislikes shopping

and i don't wear jewelry

[gobblemy]

71. If you smoke after sex

your going way too fast. LOL.

[bearfan454]

75. Welcome to DU !

Now you can get the real news !

[BonjourUSA]

78. It's a Joke of Woody Allen

[davsand]

72. I'm not into shopping, and I don't want diamonds.

I like hockey, football and baseball, and any kind of beauty pagent sends me retching. I don't obsess over body hair and any man that gives me a razor as a gift better expect to find his eyebrows shaved off when he comes to...

I don't "DO" makeup, I wear perfume sometimes, and when I dress up I wear high heels and garter belts (can't STAND pantyhose!)

And the biggest myth of all? When women get married they stop wanting sex.

Laura

[rbnyc]

77. I'm a woman...

...and as soon as I have an orgasm I roll over and fall asleep.

Also, I hate shopping. I love Science Fiction and Horror. I hate romantic comedies.

There's probably a bunch more.

;-)

[Heddi]

80. I am a woman. I hate shopping, and don't like babies

I know women (personally) whose collective uteri go into spazms whenever a baby enters the room. THey oooh and aaaah and I swear some of them start lactating just at the thought of some squirmy, sour-milk smelling bald baby wriggling away in their arms.

Not me.

I hate shopping too. Loathe it, actually.

I don't do well in crowds. Can't think of the last time I went to the mall. I do alot of shopping online. If I'm FORCED to go into a store, I go into the store that I have to go in, I don't dilly-dally and look at everything on the racks.

I get what I need, and I grit my teeth as I stand behind women in the checkout line who run from their basket every 10 seconds to get some impulse item or another.

Also, as a woman, I don't wear makeup, I don't spend more than 8 seconds on my hair, and my showers NEVER last more than 10 minutes.

I don't really care about my appearance.

Some people would say that's "low self esteem", but to me, I see no reason to destroy my skin by layering on 15 different powders, creams, liners, gloss, rouge, etc.

Makeup is prohibitively expensive. Stupidly expensive. I refuse to pay $10 for a powder that will NEVER make you look like the ads in the magazines SAY you'll look. Especially since you don't have a professional stylist to put the makeup on you in such a way as to make you Look like you're not wearing makeup at all.

I haven't used a hair styling product in.....too many years to remember. I have a hair dryer, but I only use it if I'm going somewhere and my hair won't have time to dry.

I don't use body butters or specially designed face soaps---Zest is alright for my patootie, then it's alright for my face (wait..that sounds wrong).

I don't buy new clothes often just because I don't need to. Jeans last for many yeas, and until they start looking bad, I don't get another pair.

I used to be extremely concious about these thigns when I was younger. I thought they made me a better person. I thought tha tpeople would like me better if I wore certain clothes and spent 2 hours on my hair and $300 on things that make me smell good.

They didn't.

My wallet is much fatter, my skin is clear and unblemished. The counter under my sink is filled with soaps and toothpaste, and not an entire line of Merle Norman cosmetics. My hair is healthy and normal and not dried out and frizzy.

I'm more natural than I'd ever think I'd be.

Believe it or not, some people have asked me if I was a lesbian b/c I didn't wear makeup or do my hair in fancy ways..????

[scottcsmith]

85. I'm a man...

...and I hate sports. Hate them, hate them, hate them. The only sport I can watch is golf, and that's because I like to play Tiger Woods PGA tour on my PS2.

I don't swear and I only have one or two beers every couple of months.

[TXlib]

91. I'm a man, and I don't like blowjobs.

Well, not entirely accurate. I like 'em just fine as foreplay. It definitely feels good. But I have never gotten off from one.

I actually far prefer getting handjobs to blowjobs.

[GOPisEvil]

93. The Rat and I discussed this earlier in the thread...

...I guess that makes 3 of us.

[skypilot]

95. Receiving a blowjob...

...bores me to tears. This is one situation where I'd definitely rather give than receive.

[private_ryan]

112. "This is one situation where I'd definitely rather give than receive"

Huh?

[plcdude]

94. I am a man

and I love to cook, and take care of my children, and clean the house, and don't need to have every sexual experience end in an orgasm for either of us.

[Nikia]

98. My non womanly ways

I don't like to shop, especially if I don't intend to buy anything. I don't care about shoes and usually don't notice them unless they are rather different. I like buying clothes, but don't see the need of spending a lot on them if I have enough clothes at home that I like even if they are a few years old. I don't need another woman to go to the bathroom with me. I'm not into home interiors. I hate cleaning so much that my house is a mess. Although this bothers me a little, especially if people might be coming over, it is not a huge deal. I cannot find anything, like my keys because I put them wherever is convient. Luckily, my husband knows where everything is. I am good at math and science. I am introverted and analytical. I like most sports too.

[BritishHuman]

99. I'm a man, and I don't have a "type"

I've been attracted to some women carrying quite a few extra pounds, and some remarkably skinny women too. Either can be sexy if they're confident.

In fact, it's almost becoming a stereotype that men AREN'T attracted to skinny women.

[Bucky]

100. I'm a man and I love quickies with no chit chat afterwards

Oh, and I hate waiting for you-know-who to finished getting dressed. Sheesh.

[amazona]

104. as a woman i much prefer sex to cuddling

Sorry, but it's true. When it's over, I'm over it. It isn't the roll over and fall asleep thing that men get...actually, I find that orgasm is quite energizing and I need some distance before I can sleep.

[Kamika]

107. I have some more

We "really" don't want total equality.. give us a guy that earns alot and can provide for the family so we can be housewifes :D

We also want you to buy us drinks, hold up doors, give us presents and treat us as WOMEN not as a equal partner shmartners

[Djinn]

111. speak for yourself Kamika

I'd rather die than be a housewife - and if I ever do start breeding the boy will be the stay at home parent. I'd shrivel and die if my conversation for the day was limited to "darling stop hitting your sister" "will this detergent get stubborn stains out" etc etc

[private_ryan]

113. there's always someone who defies the trends

but 95%+ of the women I work with, or know think the same as she does (especially the ones in their late 20' - 30's). And no, I don't live in Alabama.

[Nikia]

118. I'm starting to not like being the major bread winner

I am a feminist and didn't mind initially when my husband took a low paying job after six months of unemployment. Recently, though, I am starting to resent it. Maybe, it would be different if he didn't spend it as he does, while I buy nothing for myself except on rare occaisions after checking with him first. It might be different if I liked my job but I continued working there because I felt that we'd experience economic hardship if I took a lower paying one even though he could easily find a job paying a few dollars per hour more himself. It might be different if he did some house work too.
I don't want to be a house wife though and if I made 50% more than I do now and really liked my job, he could even stay home if he cleaned and cooked for me.

119. Being a housewife is mind-numbing

I've been back in school for a few months after almost 3 years of not working at all, being home with the kids. Except for the first year or two maybe after you have a baby and they really need you, not working at all is less than fullfilling for those of us with half a brain and any goals. At least it isn't for me. I even have the proverbial diary of a mad housewife.
However, the other things mentioned just seem to be good manners and yes, I appreciate that for sure.

121. "buy us drinks, hold up doors, give us presents "

who do you honestly think guys buy drinks and presents for girls?

110. I am one man

who dislikes all forms of permanent "body art." Wherever it might be located.

117. I'm a guy, but I don't like to drink beer with the guys, watch the NFL

or get into dick-wagging contests. I'd rather be reading or thinking things through on my own. One of the biggest snore-inducing tortures is to be stuck with some poor slob holding a brewski and belching out bon mots like, "Lemme tell ya what ya oughta do..." No thanks.

I like dressing sharply, and am very fastidious. (My wife said that when she first met me, she thought I was gay, because -- in her words -- no straight man would dress that neatly and with such style, speaking of stereotypes. But I was very flattered.)

I like to shop, like to buy clothes, like "artsy" things, like framing fine-art prints archivally, etc.

I work in an office with a staff of ten, and I'm the only guy -- and I love it!

120. I never expected a man to buy me anything

in fact, nearly all my life, I've dated guys who hadn't two red cents to rub together, so if I wanted to go out to dinner or whatever, I paid or at least split the bill. Have never expected a guy to pick up a tab for me in my life. In fact, with guys I don't know that well, I won't let them - I don't want anyone thinking any decisions can be made on the basis of finances, know what I mean?

I confound the hell out of people, because I look very femme, act very butch, and am (mostly) straight. I don't believe in stereotypes - they're nearly always crap. I've never had a manicure, don't own a purse, drive a stick-shift, and I'm the household gearhead responsible for selecting, connecting, and maintaining anything electronic. At the same time, I'm a small woman with hip-length hair who likes to dress up and go dancing. So don't pigeonhole me - I won't fit.

Oh, and my big burly hairy construction-worker husband does the cooking and decorating and picks out my clothes when my appearance matters. He confuses people, too. :-D
