Since the news article by the Wall Street Journal - see my other thread for the text - I do believe we men need to hear your concerns about men in general and shed some light on your view and concerns.
Now most of you who read the article on the WSJ would agree that most men you meet are like teenagers. They are not serious about life and such. You can’t find a good husband etc.
So do lay out your concerns and issues and myself, Jaanwar and Nomi will seek to address them the best we can.
So Dr. Cute Munda (self-named according to RV), Dr. Jay and Dr. Wingman will answer all of our questions? But if we know everything there is to know about men, what will happen to the mystique that surrounds men? Isn’t too much knowledge a dangerous thing?
Actually its not an issue of knowledge. But rather to address the issues of why men act the way they do. We act the way we do because we can like always pick and choose the women we wish to settle down with, if we wish to settle down that is.
I read the article and I definitely saw some of the guys I know described in that article. But I tried to be objective - the article describes a small group of guys and not the majority of the guys I know. Most do "grow up" and leave pre-adulthood behind.
But if this is question and answer session, then why do guys enjoy toilet humour - I have never been able to understand the appeal.
Oh and another question - if given a choice between going to a museum with your SO and gaming - what would you choose and why (each of the three of you should answer this question for yourself and guys in general). Gaming and hiking with your SO?
What is wrong with that article is that women (in general and that author in specific) sees it as a bad thing. The question is why is it a bad thing? They are happy. They are not a burden on society. They don't take women seriously and do not wish to grow up. That is their choice. Just because they happen to date a woman who disapproves does not make it something wrong.
Because it is in fact humor and people laugh at humor.
Museum with SO or gaming? Depends on my mood and how much time I have spent with the SO lately. I like my solo time. So depending on my mood it could be both. However if a new game is out and my friends are holding a tournament - and its a guys get together, I will blow off my SO to hang out with the boys. It is a gaming event.
But if this is question and answer session, then why do guys enjoy toilet humour - I have never been able to understand the appeal.
toilet humour is funny....and we do not have to be pretencious when having fun..so 'inappropriateness' doesn't really bother us...
if given a choice between going to a museum with your SO and gaming
museums are boring...and if going out with SO and gaming?? well.......SO gets her time when its her time......and i gots to have my guy time...i will try to schedule them on different time n date.........because i don't want to annoy my SO or Guys.....but if both clash.......then definitly its Guy time....the SO is stuck with me...so she can be dealt with later on....:D
. Gaming and hiking with your SO?
Hiking for sure..i like outdoors.........but only if SO is good at it.......like she is not one of those whiny ones who need to be 'helped' and have to urinate after every 20 minutes...

hahaha. Exactly what I thought, Pakistani women and hiking? LOL. (cue the outrage :D)
That article is actually quite true. Quite a few men out there are taking their sweet time to settle down and it's precisely because they do have time. Men have the luxury to settle down at 35 and still not be considered a late bloomer. Women can't afford to do that if they want a family. They have a biological clock ticking so they can't afford to wait till they're 35 to settle down.
But then again there are plenty of men who do settle down by the time they are 30.
Bottom line is men have the option to wait, women don't.
but how can you answer questions about men in general, aren't all men different just like all women are different you can't pick a few qualities and say all men possess these qualities.
like i would love to know why most men can't ask for directions? why are they afraid of going into a gas station and asking how to get somewhere, it's a lot better than wasting time circling around for an hour......can't generalize b/c i'm pretty sure there are men that wouldn't be like that.
or why are there men that disrespect or use abusive language or physically try to hurt women? not all men are like that. so can't generalize see? thread closed. :p

well.......men who resemble us...as in somewhat similar socio-economic background and stuff....

well......all these questions you asking are basically from other threads.....i thought you would come up with some of your own......:D
^i don't remember a thread about those two questions.
plus i think we've covered every question about men. basically no two men or women are the same.
ok here's another. why don't most/some men listen/comprehend. if the points made are sound and practical, it's like it goes in one ear and out the other and plus sometimes i wish men would express themselves rather than keep things to themselves most of the time. not tell everything, of course all of us have our private thoughts and not all men are like this though and there are probably some women like this too. so i hate generalizations. nonetheless, oh great men of this thread, answer away.
Redvelvet should’ve named only muslim names, all those mentioned are nonmuslims. CM wouldn’t commit to a nonmuslim who’s true to her beliefs(nonislamic) right?
nobody’s going to answer my questions… well atleast answer one of them
Why we don't ask for directions? Because we know where we are going and we like being unhindered and unburdened with time such. Women should just have faith in us.
So Dr. Cute Munda (self-named according to RV), Dr. Jay and Dr. Wingman will answer all of our questions? But if we know everything there is to know about men, what will happen to the mystique that surrounds men? Isn’t too much knowledge a dangerous thing?
well atleast answer one of them
