we all know all men like tits and ass forvie me for my strong lanuage but are all men like the man show thr reason Im askini Is because well Im a woman or going to be and like all women I need love and its comen sese that most men have no idea what love is tyo me love is liking someone very much by liking I mean well to love a person and all that pearson to love the little things the big things and in between to love someone non-sextualy.

I love comedy central and for a while now I have known what the man show stands for sex,boobs and non feminisem i hate all of these things well almost every thing in a non/sexutial way of course. most women need love to survive its a everlasting hope we carry with us all our lives the hope that one man one day we will be complet that we are not alone in life that life can be like the movies or the romance novels.
the reason I an writing is because i need a little hope and that love is real and yes i know that this has nothing to do with firefly and that my spelling is a bit of.
well that is all I have to say.

The Man Show is an odd thing. While it has every right to exist, that doesn't hide the fact that it is disgusting and degrading on some level. What's even worse is what it can do to the mind of an impressionable person watching it. It's hard not to think you need to look/act a certain way after watching something like that. That's mostly what I don't like about it.

I don't think most guys are like that, but I do think that most guys have a dirty little Jayne-like place in their mind where they can kind of ignore that ignorant behavior just because sex is involved.

I would suggest simply turning off that crappy show. Shame there's not more quality TV on nowadays, but that's what Firefly DVDs are for.

Are all men like the ones on The Man Show?

Let's hope not, or else we are all doomed.

I am as interested in women and sex as the next man, but only in the context of someone I care for emotionally as well. I have never watched a complete episode of that show and can't understand why it is still on and also has a dvd release. I'm just glad that Comedy Central also brings us some good shows, like South Park, The Daily Show and Chapelle's Show.

wo men ren ran zai fei xing.

I would not worry too much about it Sanmi. The Man Show only represents a small percentage of the male population.

Everyone wants love and a meaningful relationship. Sometimes it takes time to find that special someone, and you may make some bad decisions along the way, but when you find them, it is worth all the wait and searching.

First, I have to say, I have not seen this 'man show' but I'm assuming its a comedy. If this is the case is it not just people poking fun at supposed stereotypes or do the men around you behave in the same way?

'The Man Show' is the locker room talking, hard drinking, gross kind of aspect... made even louder and grosser for the sake of comedy.

But remember that most of the great music, poetry and art has been made by men. So men are good...they do have souls and brains and hearts...

But you're not likely to find any of that depicted on 'The Man Show'... better to watch 'Firefly'!

Sanmi:

I like the original "Man Show" with Jimmie Kimmel and Adam Carolla; the new hosts, not nearly so much. I've also liked "The Daily Show" since its inception. But I realize that these shows are exaggerating issues for the sake of comedy, and doing it well.

As to your other concerns, my advice is that guys are visually motivated; but, not exclusively driven by images. Say -- for instance -- you like cooking shows; are you going to seriously cook then eat everything presented on your favorite show? Probably not (although you might commit the instructions to paper). Just because they're on the menu, that doesn't mean you've got to try them all. Same with virtually every guy. We like pretty girls; but it doesn't mean we want to touch 'em, especially if we've been lucky enough to find a woman who'll tolerate us on a long-term basis. But being tolerant is as key to any relationship as is being sensitive to the other person's feelings.

With any luck, you'll find someone with a decent soul (especially since physical beauty eventually fades), and forgive them their minor errors. Emotional or physical abuse, or infidelity are not minor, and a decision would be required. Looking at a little cheesecake -- or beefcake for the ladies (some guys?) -- without sticking a finger in for a surreptitious taste, is only natural and should not be taken as a crushing defeat to your self-image. It only means that your significant other has a healthy appetite and the correct sexual orientation for your relationship. (Edit, for clarification) If your 'man-animal' likes curling up next to you on the settee with a cup of cocoa while y'all debate the merits of Brad Pitt's buns or Ben Affleck's eyes, there's probably a storm on your horizon. (End edit)

As long as you don't try to 'wall off' a man's essential nature from his married behavior, and he makes concessions to your essential needs by including you in his emotional life, it's fairly easy for two folks to become partners for life. You've got to have your own self-esteem though, not just become a satellite of the other person; one must be a viable entity on their own, before they are ready to enter a partnership of equals.

Respectfully,

zoid

Wow. I feel exactly the same way about the Oprah show.

Samni, you seem like a nice asian girl with that great romantic attitude many girls have. Reminds me of the time I'd spent in Japan. In an effort to break the ice with my female english students in Japan I would ask them what was the most important thing, for them, in a man.

Almost all of them said; "kindness". Those Japanese girls aren't dummies.

And yea, the "Man Show" is really just a boy show. After all, if you are a man you don't need a TV show to tell ya that. It's sorta like men with big giant cars... they are lacking big things in thier romantic life. Get it?

Never seen "The Man Show" - but from the descriptions I've heard, no. We aren't all like that
