Hey take it from a former cheer leader ..women, in general, suck!!! sorry, but they do. I have really liked talking to the women here and have a few female friends, but for the most part ( despite my girly primping) I just can't figure them out or find common ground. I just don't care which star is dating or broke up. I don't care if my hair and make-up get messed up or if I get grease on me. I actually like eating food not picking at it and sighing and saying I am on a diet. I would shoot myself rather than watch a chick flick...and it drives me mental that they can waste such enormous amounts of energy on analyzing ever nuance of what a guy said and what it might "mean" it's a guy for smacks sake he didn't mean anything by that. He just said " hi you look nice today" it was not a subtle dis of your outfit, a proposal to run away and bear his children, or a suggestion that your butt's too big...he meant " HI YOU LOOK NICE TODAY" ...sorry sore spot as you can tell ok rant over now!

I am definitely someone who gets on better with men.

(Actually, thinking about it, the kind of men I get on with would be very familiar to a lot of you guys - you see 'em in the mirror every day.)

Re-reading this, it sounds weird. To clarify - I am not a girly girl. I had my first manicure a week before my wedding (ie four months ago) Fashion confuses me - I wear what suits me and is comfortable. I have always been happier yapping about films (particularly those with loud explosions in) and books, than anything on the domestic front. Put me at a party and I won't be in the room with the wives (and probably children) but out in the garden with the guys drinking beer and talking martial arts. My mother wanted a girl who had a least an inkling of housework. She got a tomboy, who opted out of the traditional 'female' pattern presented to her over teenagehood. My sole domestic concession is cooking.

I think it is all down to the conventional expectations.

Cars and motorbikes are my machine of choice. I've been around them forever, because my Dad owns a Ducati (Whoot!)which he races, and when I'm 16, I get to go with him (two months and fourteen days, but then who's counting?), Can't wait!
On that note, I'm off to watch Top Gear!
That's a 'you can't do that you're a girl' thing I get,like why would a girl be interested in cars? Um, because I'm not interested in the general teenage girl stuff (make-up, boys, fashion, the 'celebrity' [and I use that term loosely] world and the like).
More into art, reading/writing, culture, vehicles and of course, Firefly!
bye for tonight! Hugs and waves!

*edit* No chick flicks! Please God no chick flicks, or romantic comedies. Everysingle one follows the same story line (meet-> like-> hate-> love) and they are immensely depressing I need sarcastic humour and at least one interesting death!

Except for you guys on the forum, I don't really talk to anyone, male or female. Ain't anonymity grand?

I will say however, that I tend to have the same interests as men. Beyond my small circle of friends, I don't many women in the area who like to play video games, RPG's, and actually think swords, armor, and the like are cool.

Days like this, I like bein' a man!

Sorry, had to say that. I get along with both, males more so than females, but again, I don't have the social circle I had in college and a few years' after. I am mostly an onliner when it comes to friends, and I would be proud to call all of you, females and males, friends. We are different than the rest of the population...I think our posts here indicate this...not better or worse, just different. I hate to do this, but that makes us mighty. We could all meet up in a bar (or restaurant...for the minors amongst us ) and get along famously. That is what I love about this place!
and :hugs: to all!

yeah it is all lovely here isn't it:) oooh technical question Tristan... one of my husband's swords has gotten a bit mucky what precisely would one clean an ivoy kitana hilt with?? I'd like to clean it up, but am not sure if it would ruin it.

Are you looking to clean the hilt specifically MsG, or the blade as well?

msg, a few questions...is it real ivory? And would you please further explain "mucky"? Grease, dirt, just general ick?
Also, if your husband is anything like me, he may be a bit particular about his weapons...does he have a special cleaner he normally uses?

thank you... women like yourself seem rare these days....(but please don't shoot yourself... i have considered bashing the set a few times... but i find a spin on the bike helps...) and, it's not necessarily the SO watching this mindless drivel... but my niece & friends will camp in front of the tv at the mere mention of Matthew McGuggley....(whatever).... so they don't like scifi... i guess it's a draw....

as far as getting along better with one sex or the other... i suppose that's a draw, too. i have a few good buds whom i'll spend days fishing with and several female friends that enjoy discussing just about anything - but i don't consider myself a social person and usually avoid parties or large gatherings -

kids & animals... they seem drawn to me for some reason - you wouldn't think it to read some of the goofy things i've written here, but i am just a big softie at heart... today i stopped someone from stomping on a wasp - picked it up and let it go outside - i might have to adjust my thinking to survive in the black....
