So, do you find that men are only capable of enjoying something like P&P out of a need to understand that perplexing thing that is Woman? (ie You've got Mail)
Nice and NotNice guys: please chime in. And how about that clingy girl question someone asked over the weekend, I think Lightmedark was the only one who answered this and I am curious about it too. I will always be single rather than clingy, I hope that doesn't doom me to spinsterhood. (Good thing I knit, just in case.)
What does P&P represent here? Period films? Slow, lacking action? Drama? Poingantly emotional?
I'd have to answer differently for each category, but in general, I like "chick flicks" - but have to be in the mood for them (like anything, really). Say Anything and Breakfast at Tiffany's are a couple of my favorite films, and I like romantic comedies in general (though they are quite predictable ;) )
I may just be an odd duck, though - I always cry at the end of Terminator 2...

Ah, yes. The twinkle. This was something my mom had mentioned many, many times about fellas, and we would talk about guys if they had it, but it took me forEVER before I started applying it to my personal search. Hence, I met my fella, who has a twinkle, through a "great guy" I thought I was dating, who did not have a twinkle. It tought me that charm and charisma aren't everything if their ain't no twinkle.

I actually own a film version of a Jane Austen book (I will leave you to figure out which one it is) and I enjoy very much. In fact, I went to see it on the first real date I ever went on way back in my youth....
Persuasion? Because that's my FAVOURITE of all.
But it was probably Sense & Sensibility because that's the only one that I can think of that's been made into a movie that's made it into a theater.
LFO-P&P is short for Pride & Prejudice. We were just being lazy.

I read some of these replies last night. It is rather a good thing I did not post then as I was rather upset (especially with you're snippet BEG, which in hindsight was rather dumb).
Why was I distraught...well I've recently been contemplating a lot of things (obviously), and my loyalties get in the way sometime. As I posted earlier my cousin called needing a ride. He was as flippin' drunk as I've seen him in quite a while. So I picked him up, and he was hungry. So I took him to Burger King where he wanted to dine in instead of taking it to go as I suggested. As he sat at our table behind a pile of food that he bought and couldn't possibly eat (the club sandwhich he ended up buckling into my backseat...i named it timmy ;D), he loudly proclaimed hey if you ever see her jim's ex girlfriend has goneria (or however you spell it..and she doesn't). I took it good naturedly and shook my head to everyone. He was obviously drunk and so took no notice or nothing more than amusement. He told me today he was sorry and meant it in the best possible way at the time. After we finished eating and before we left he pulled out a number of some girl that had just walked up to him and given it to him and called her on my phone. He asked to see her (while his girlfriend is home pregnant with his child...I know that one's not working out. They're schedules didn't mesh so maybe next week.
After that as I was driving him home he says hey i thought we were going to stop at Fuzions (maybe it's fusionz, a bar). I said nah, I just really wanted to get home. So as we near his home a cop pulls up behind my bumper as we're rolling down the street. My cousin says just pull right into the Clinton, they won't think anything's up. I said I really didn't want to go, but that if he wanted to I would hang out for a bit. After a drink there he wanted to go to another bar, so I obliged. While we were there I told him I just wanted to get home so let's go. He said alright but can we stop up at the Casino (we both work there, big place) and wait for this girl to get out. I said sure whatever. He wanted her to drive him home (she has been lately). We waited there until about 45 minutes after she was supposed to get out before she finally did. Turns out she was taking a friend home so it was a wasted venture (for which my cousin apologized). They're going out to the bar tonight.
Then when I got home I spoke with my best chick friend for a while over IM. We got into an argument I left upset to which I read the following quote which I almost replied to in anger(I called her today and told her I was sorry I was such an asshole last night. she's a good friend). It's funny that I argue far more with friends than I ever have with past gfs. There were only two fights in my last relationship, and they were both about work. I don't even think my ex gf calls them fights, haha.

Yeah, I do. I am now putting my most sincere effort forward to fixing what must be fixed in order for me to date without heavy conscience. I appreciate your trying to help me. I'm sorry if I've made you feel diminished in any way (which I probably haven't, you're strong).

My brain cells are still regrouping for counter-attack but MAL4PREZ, I'm compelled to respond to your post...
Ok... you're checklist (and what men are thinking):
**cue up otherworldly harp music**
(1) Scientist. Ok... she's definately not blonde.
(2) Plays Hockey... that deserves a male grunt of approval.
(3) Writes code and plots squiggly lines... I have a crackerjack decoder ring and am a world-reknowned fingerpainter (critically acclaimed since kindergarten).
(4) Ballet/Modern Dance... ok, I'm thinking classy and sexy. I'm ready to dazzle you with my "uncoordinated white guy dance".
(5) Dance/Trance clubbing... Ok, maybe she is blonde. Still kinda sexy.
(6) Plays cello... More class. I'm thinking to myself, Ok, I can play gazoo, we can make beautiful music together. Romantic duets involving show tunes.
(7) Jane Austen... I didn't know Tarzan's wife lived in Texas. Learn something new everyday.
(8) Homebrew... ok, right about this point I'm thinking marriage proposal.
But then, the whole fantasy goes flying off the rails with a bloodcurdling scream of primal man-agony...
**cue up gothic Phantom of the Opera theme**
(9) Painting your man's toenails...
This is a man we're talking about isn't it?
When that witch's brew wears off and the man wakes up to this desecration of his macho-osity, he'll probably gnaw his own leg off. It's worse than a bear trap. Maybe even gnaw his whole body off from the neck down (difficult, but not impossible).
I don't even wanna imagine what #10 would be like after that one. Dress him up in leotards and make him jazzercise with you? Oh god no... it's just making my skin crawl.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

I'm also a schemer (this just doesn't look to be spelled right), and like Wash, I was laconic once, but never had a fry cook opportunity. So get a bottle of vodka and a notebook (cos we'll need to take notes of course, what good is planning if you can't attempt to make out your drunked scribblings the next day), and we will figure this out.
I always wanted a bumper sticker that said: I wish stupidity were fatal so you'd die. I figured I might get rear ended a lot with that though.

Thank you. This made my day. I've a bad couple of weeks, and this made the day bearable. Thank You.
I wish Wisconsin wasn't so far from NC.
I have some plans in the works, some of my friends and I have discussed this before. I think we start with removing all warning labels, and disallowing the silly lawsuits. More Darwin Awards yeah.
Comments on the nice boys Vs. getting hints: I can only speak for myself, I made a few embarassing mistakes in my past, misinterpreting ladies who were just being nice as giving signals. So now, if you're giving signals, I'll likely just assume you're only being friendly/ polite. You pretty much gotta hit me over the head, and drag me back to the cave. I won't mind waking up chained to the wall.
Also: CallMeSerenity wrote something about this thread getting too long and how we need another. What is the record here for longest thread? I second the request. Loooong load times for thread.

I can see where 0G is coming from in regards to having toenails painted. Most guys aren't that secure about such things. In light of Mal4prez' resume I would say it's a reasonable price to pay to share time with such a lady. If anyone called me on it, I would tell them the same, "My lady is worth it." Of course it's understood, I don't come cheap either.
I can watch Jane Austen films if I am in a receptive mood, but in the spirit of reciprocation when I get to pick the movie I'll put on something from the Sharpe's series. Most women won't say no to Sean Bean being rugged and heroic.
