Guys, we just can't win ...
 
Just found this ... answers a lot of questions ... :)

Why A Man Can't Win


If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you are a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework, you are a pansy

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her..
If you don't work enough, you are a good for nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your rear and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism.
If she gets job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

If you cry, you are a wimp.
If you don't, you are an insensitive bastard.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you are a chauvinist.
If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination.
If she asks you, it's a favor.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear, you are a pervert.
If you don't, you are a fag.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you are a sexist.
If you don't, you are unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you are vain.
If you don't, you are a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you are after something.
If you don't, you are not thoughtful.

If you are proud of your achievements, you are up yourself.
If you don't, you are not ambitious.

If she has a headache, she is tired.
If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore.

If you want it too often, you are oversexed.
If you don't, there must be someone else.

Now tell us a joke. I want to laugh.

That's TOO true,........... and I lived it.

skipthisone 02-21-2003 10:23 AM

All I can do is nod my head

BIBI 02-21-2003 11:32 AM

Vintage Vixen 02-21-2003 12:17 PM

Sorry but i have to disagree...but then i guess it would depend on the type of women you deal with and if it was in a work envirorment or in a relationship.Just my opinion.

Tess 02-21-2003 01:41 PM

Very true. A perfect overview of female logic at it's best.

Of course, Female Logic is the supreme oxymoron.

scotzoidman 02-22-2003 12:29 AM

Have a seditave, BSB...I don't think this was intended to be taken that seriously...at least I don't take it that way...altho' it wouldn't be funny if there wasn't a grain of truth in it... ;)

I was lucky enough to get flowers from my guy today. I didn't think he was after anything! If I never get flowers from him again, I'll survive :)

I don't want to pick this one apart, I'm sure it was meant in fun but I don't think it was fair to wonderful women and our wonderful relationships with our men! :)

GermanSteve 02-22-2003 01:31 AM

These things are very true. Been there. Sometimes hated it. :(

dicksbro 02-22-2003 06:23 AM

Whoa!

I thought it was funny ... not serious ... and certainly not intended to upset anyone.

Sharni 02-22-2003 06:30 AM

I agree dicksbro

Plenty of man-bashing jokes tend to turn up and they take it as it was intended...as a joke

I think some women just need to see the funny side of things....not take everything so seriously or personally....

dicksbro 02-22-2003 06:40 AM

Thanks, Sharniqua.

Oldfart 02-22-2003 06:42 AM

Dicksbro,

The joke's on us.

Smile and duck.

Lilith 02-22-2003 10:10 AM

Matters not how it was meant or how it is taken!!!!!! All of you to the dungeon~~~~~~ Some one mentioned a whipping and I'm in the mood.......

single file:p

no pushing:p

we are all going to the same place:p

there is plenty of lashings for everyone:D

*kisses* ((hugs))~~~~~>smack!

Irish 02-22-2003 10:35 AM

I totally disagree.After awhile,your SO knows if you are a good
worker,and appreciates your situation.I have always been of the
opinion,that it's not how much money you make as long as your
bills get paid!My wife is pretty easygoing,but if I don't like my job,
I eventually leave it.Over the years,I have had jobs that paid good,but I didn't like.As far as I'm concerned,it doesn't matter if the pay is good,if you hate going to work.Luckily,I have been with my woman,long enough for her to know my work ethics.A million
dollars is nice but doesn't make up for unhappiness! Irish

LixyChick 02-22-2003 10:47 AM

EVERYONE has neglected to see that this list is from one extreme to the other!


"If you work too hard, there is never any time for her..
If you don't work enough, you are a good for nothing bum."

What about the TYPICAL guy in your life.....that works "just enough"?



"If you cry, you are a wimp.
If you don't, you are an insensitive bastard. "

What about the TYPICAL guy in your life.....that you have seen shed a tear at the loss of a loved one (but he didn't know you saw)........and was stronger than you had ever expected during that same mourning period?



"If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you are a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework, you are a pansy"

And this notion is SOOOOOOOOOO outdated......it shouldn't even be included on this list! More men are now "stay at home dads" than ever before in the history of Venus and Mars!



To ALL of the statements on the list.........one person or another will find a way to implicate at least one of them into their own "personal" lives. But for the most part...........the list is extreme! There IS a middle ground to ALL of the statements on the list!


CAN I GET AN........"AMEN" LIXY?

dzbuster 02-22-2003 11:50 PM

quietly looking skyward whistling innocently

Vigil 02-23-2003 01:13 AM

We're all nodding because we recognise some or all of these paradoxes in our cultures, some current some not so current anymore.

They don't apply to everyone all the time - though no doubt there is some poor guy out there.

Let the worm turn from time to time and have a laugh.

big_yin 02-23-2003 11:48 AM

Amen Lixy!!!!!!!

LMFAO!

I assume this is to be taken as a joke.....................but there is a grain of truth in there depending what day of the week.....
or week of the month............

did someone mention a dungeon??
