At the risk of coming into a battle that is obviously ill conceived and already lost, I have to post a minor disagreement with the lovely Miss X. While not inaccurate, your first postulate is not entirely true either. I don't have to jump over a cliff once to know I won't like it. There would not be even that one child per family as far as I'm concerned! (Imagination, quiet down! She was only kidding. Ooh, that thought hurts… ) |

Not being the argumentive sort, I'll have to agree with you. Women are good for 2 things. Being wonderful giving people. And being a joy to be with. I won't ask you to clarify your comment. It's too brief and therefore it must be poetry... and I figure, with good poetry, the reader will come to their own conclusions. Be well, m'friend! Oh... and *SMILE* |

You wind-up merchant !!! ROFL We're good for more than two things though Chris...  1) As Nan said "Hugs and soft kisses" 2) Making you guys feel special when you're feeling really lousy...  3) Ironing your shirts so you at least look a little respectable.. 4) Telling you when you're wearing a check shirt with a tie with loud stripes to change one of them...LOL 5) Never saying " I told you so" when you take the wrong street and smiling politely when you state the reason for being late was because WE didn't know what to wear...*g* 6) Letting you believe that you're always in charge...oooops again 7) Giving you a reason to post threads like this... the list goes on and on and on but really you know, we're best at just being ourselves, genuine, loving, faithful and totally unique, not forgetting that we always support the guys we love, would live in a tent with you if necessary and last but not least, we're the stronger sex....ouch !!!

1) Generally, doing most things better than men ('cept peeing standing up I guess). 2) Going in AFTER men have tried to do something and bungled it horribly, and cleaning up the mess they made.

Well...you look sweet and fresh-faced enough to be my son, so I guess I should tell you to go to your room, before you get into anymore trouble...but instead, I am just going to sit back and see how you get out of this one.ROTF! Wow, next time you make a decision to say something like this...maybe you should go to someone and ask HER for advice. Ha...If a man HAD to have a baby, babies would be against the law.

Christopher, you're such a sweet, lovable young man! I can't BELIEVE you called Jeffrey a coward for not participating in this interesting topic! ..... and you haven't even explained yourself yet? Most of us who have responded here have listed 2 or more things women are "good for". What did you have in mind when you posted this topic? *g Now... don't be a coward, k? I'd seriously like to know as I'm sure many of the others would. Thank you. oh geez... I just realized that in my previous comment I said I wouldn't ask you to clarify this tidbit of "poetry". uh... I'm sowwy  I changed my mind. A woman's prerogative. [This message has been edited by doreen peri (edited 07-09-2000).] |

2? 2 out of a million reasons maybe!!!!I must admit Elizabeth's response made me chuckle...perhaps there is some truth behind it?  1. Making the world a better place. 2. Finding that soft spot in our heart to take on the sometimes grueling job of taking care of men who seem so lost with out us! Christopher... our boots are made for walkin'...I think in that case you'd better start runnin'!!!!!!!!!  ~Kelly < !signature--> The rooster may strut and crow, but it's the hen that delivers the goods.

You knew that I couldn't let this one go by. . . Chris, you obviously have a LOT to learn about women. . . they are good for FAR more than just two things. . . and let me tell you, I don't think that I've found all of them yet!! (And I don't mean that you have a lot more to learn in a bad way, just going with what I know. . . ) If I could only begin to tell you what I feel that women are good for. . . it would fill a book. . . for us, women make life worth living. . . they give us what we need. . . face it Chris, if there were no women, we would not have art, or music, or poetry, or any of that stuff. . .because most of it was written by men for the women that they loved and cared about. . . I have nothing but the utmost respect for women. . . and for men also. . . but to say that they're only good for two things. . .well, as a human being and as a male, please let me say ladies that not all of us feel the same way!! I know that there is much more to women than meets the eye. . . Now, you may view me as being weak for saying that women are good for more than two things. . . but I know that as a man, I can do only so much. . . there are just some things that we can't do. . . If the world had no women. . . well, it would truly not be as beautiful. . . Thank you ladies for all that you do. . .and know that there are some of us who really appreciate you. . . (and Chris, if you just put this in here to start a discussion. . . let's go!! LOL )-------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

EXCUSE ME DeVINE??? SUCKING-UP??? Why am I sucking up?? Just because I'm stating my opinion??? This is how I feel. . . you know, I think that most men don't really say things like I said because they're always looked upon as being weak or just "sucking up". . . why do I have to be looked upon in this way just because I admire and respect women?? If I admire and respect a man (btw, there are plenty of men who I admire and respect also. . .) does it mean that I'm weak too? Does it mean that I'm strange? If I care about my fellow man, does that mean that I'm wrong? You know, women want our love and respect, but when men like me give it, we're looked upon as men that can't be taken seriously. . . just because we're not like most men. . . just because we don't think that women are good for only two things. . . just because we're "Too good to be true". . . and because of this, we're not taken seriously and we're shunned because "how can we possibly care about women?" Men aren't supposed to care about women??? You know, it's the old, "I really want to meet a nice guy" thing. . . but when one does come along. . . he's shunned because he's not her type. . . or because she's so used to being treated like garbage because that's what she's been treated like her whole life. . . so to be loved and respected for who she is and to be treated like a woman should be treated is new to her. . . and because she doesn't think that she deserves it, she goes right back to what she knows (being treated like garbage) and loses the very thing that she wanted just because she didn't know that she had it. . . Sorry, I'm just tired of being told that I HAVE to feel one way about men and another way about women when that's just NOT who I AM!!! And I'm tired of not being taken seriously. . . just because other men do it doens't mean that I'm the same way. . . or for that matter, any man who is like I am. . . sensitive and caring. . . a man to whom romance and love mean a lot. . . a man who can be strong and yet be sensitive and caring. . . who balances both. . . why can't that be me?? Why won't you see that this is who I am???!!! And that there are plenty of other men who are like me? OK, stepping down off the box. . . thank you for your time. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 07-09-2000).] |

I hope this works... have tried to post this twice now... hehe... now I have to remember what I said.. geez.. silly computers... ok... Sven- I wanted to put a comment here that I thought what you wrote about women was lovely and showed the kind of respect, dignity, and adoration which every woman would LOVE to have from a man. Sharon was just playing around and goosing Chris a little... Please know that you ARE taken seriously and that you are respected greatly for your wonderful, special comments. I truly hope you have found or will find a woman who appreciates the depth of your emotion and respects you for your heart. ok.. gonna push "submit reply" again and hopefully this will go through |

Sven, you don't want a piece of me! If you want my honest, serious opinion, you might not want to start saying things like "women want..." and "men do..." Sven said: quote: And what is a "man like you," Sven? You are a unique person. How can you even categorize yourself? Each person on this world has something that makes them who they are. You are different from me, as I am from Jeffery, as he is from Sharon as she is from Doreen, etc., etc. I think one of the most dangerous thing is to blithely categorize anyone, much less yourself. Be who you are, and don't worry about what other people are like. Because, I have found that pretty much everything you say here is completely untrue. I think it's not unrealistic to say that people want love and respect. Honest love and respect. But, being so different one to the next, what that love and respect entails is just as diverse. How I see a relationship is almost certainly different in at least a small part from the way you view it. Of course that doesn't mean one way is right or wrong, just different. I've said it before, I'll say it again, the world would be a boring place were everyone the same! BUT I think that a common factor I've seen is that people do want, need, love. Some people view it in different ways. Everyone loves differently. I know I at least do not view a man who cares, is open and honest with anything less than respect. I think that anyone who achieves this is to be respected. It's hard sometimes to go beyond yourself and to feel for another person. If that is how you feel, I will take you seriously. I don't segregate women into a category separate from men. "They" are just as capable of doing the same things as men, just as well or better. Heck, considering some of the ladies I've known, I even have a hard time accepting the fact of physiological differences!!! Now let me clarify this, before anyone misunderstands. Here, I am am talking about ability, LOL, and what women are "good for." I love the difference between men and women! If it weren't for women... well, I'd probably have kept myself out of trouble a lot more in life, but that's neither here nor there! ;o) But I view the differences in much the same mind as I view a difference between you and I. I do my best not to see it as a "gender" difference. Obviously that difference is there! But when viewed as people women are in the same boat as men in my book. As to this post... well, that's just me. I had a ready answer before I even posted the statement! (Contrary to popular belief, I am not a fool!!! ) In reality, I expected a little more vehemence in response! And I'm glad to see that most people took it in the humorous manner it was intended to be. Those that do know me, know this is not my viewpoint! This is another shining example of me pushing people's buttons. I love to "mess" with people! I think that it does good to get their blood heated up every once in a while, get that ol' grey matter working!In closing, Sven, I can understand a little where you're coming from, but unless your side of the world is completely different from mine I don't think this is true. For the rest of you who put up with me (yet again) thank you for your kind hearts and funny comments! Chris [This message has been edited by Christopher (edited 07-09-2000).] |

You are right though, each of us has different expectations and will also react and give differently to EACH relationship... Maybe I should turn the question round and ask why you guys think you have more than 2½ good things to offer?...LOL Grinning here...oooops HUSG |

Way to go Sven!! EXCUSE ME DeVINE??? *I’m sure you’re a winner with the girls talking to them like this, I mean UPPERCASE that’s tantamount to shouting!!! SUCKING-UP??? *Yeah great joke she cracked there. What! You didn’t get it! Well why not do the gentlemanly thing and drop her a personal message via e-mail or ICQ. Why am I sucking up?? Just because I'm stating my opinion??? This is how I feel. . . you know, I think that most men don't really say things like I said because they're always looked upon as being weak or just "sucking up". . . why do I have to be looked upon in this way just because I admire and respect women?? *Then again you could post a flaming reply on a public forum, always a sure-fire way to win the women over. Throw in reference about admiration and respect for women, just in case she forgets how nice you are. If I admire and respect a man (btw, there are plenty of men who I admire and respect also. . .) does it mean that I'm weak too? Does it mean that I'm strange? If I care about my fellow man, does that mean that I'm wrong? *You wrong! The very thought! You know, women want our love and respect, but when men like me give it, we're looked upon as men that can't be taken seriously. . . just because we're not like most men. . . just because we don't think that women are good for only two things. . . just because we're "Too good to be true" *You can say that again . . . and because of this, we're not taken seriously and we're shunned because "how can we possibly care about women?" Men aren't supposed to care about women??? *You tell her Sven, show her how much you care and respect her feelings. You know, it's the old, "I really want to meet a nice guy" thing. . . but when one does come along. . . he's shunned because he's not her type. . . or because she's so used to being treated like garbage because that's what she's been treated like her whole life. . . so to be loved and respected for who she is and to be treated like a woman should be treated is new to her. . . and because she doesn't think that she deserves it, she goes right back to what she knows (being treated like garbage) and loses the very thing that she wanted just because she didn't know that she had it. . . Sorry, I'm just tired of being told that I HAVE to feel one way about men and another way about women when that's just NOT who I AM!!! *Slight point of order, my memory isn’t what it was but I can’t remember her saying any of those things. And I'm tired of not being taken seriously. . . *You mean people don’t take you seriously! You should let them know how caring you are. just because other men do it doens't mean that I'm the same way. . . or for that matter, any man who is like I am. . . sensitive and caring. . . a man to whom romance and love mean a lot. . . a man who can be strong and yet be sensitive and caring. . . who balances both. . . why can't that be me?? Why won't you see that this is who I am???!!! And that there are plenty of other men who are like me? *That’s more like it! You can’t show a lady how much of gentleman you are unless you include it in a slamming reply, oxymoron anybody? Caring/flaming OK, stepping down off the box. . . thank you for your time. . . * Ditto < !signature--> Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it.

I've sat here debating for about ten minutes whether or not I should say this. I hit a mood about a minute ago, so I'll post it while I'm still in my immature mode. Sven, who's the coward now? Ok, I'll be mature again now. |

I think it is cool to see how different ego's are effected by a joke. I have learned learned that most of us here love to tease and have fun. I miss my siblings...we used to do stuff like this all the time... So I want to say thank you one and all as I have had a great time ROTFLMAO! MagnoliaBlue ~My Skipper Jim I love you!

Oh, and one more thing Sven. I've found, at least personally, that usually the conclusions we come to about things that are "obvious," are dead wrong. Look beneath the surface, because as with a person, the truth often lies beneath the skin. |

Almost everything Almost anything There are some things I JUST won't do! LOL Oh, and Criag, I'm NOT yelling! OK?! Just EMPHASIZING! If I were yelling, believe me, you'd know it! < !signature--> ~Sheri [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 07-10-2000).] |

Can't we all just get along? If I wanted to argue, I could've stayed home. Oh. I am home. Nevermind. |

Oh my. Now I know why Ceres went berserk, and here Christopher left Ron to clean up the mess and make the world right again. Chris, one word. No, one thought. I'll live longer and enjoy life more. Now, go figure out a new mess to muddle poor Ceres...and if she indeed breaks down again, we'll all be coming for you... Hugs, Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

WOW! I stay at home and off the internet to spend time with the husband for a few nights, and miss all the good stuff! Sorry I missed replying to this. It was cute to say the least, but I think Chris was just trying to save his tail! Laters and all that stuff! All the people who took it too seriously..LOL! TAKE SOME LAUGHTER PILLS! (((HUGS))) Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

CLAP!! CLAP!!!! Well congratulations Chris. . . somehow you managed to reach up where that switch is located and go into a mode that's more you. . . (although I thought that's the mode that you were in when you started this whole thing. . .) For the record, I took this post seriously, and for that, I am being made to look like someone that just "can't take a joke". . . now, I don't know Chris, and therefore I have no idea of his wonderfully "humorous" nature. . . but perhaps he should have "thought" about this before he posted it. . . But I would think that he was successful in his quest. . . he stirred and I came up. . .right into his trap. . . silly, emotional me. . . taking things too seriously and making this "experiment in humor" something more than it was. . .and for that, I am sorry that I ruined the fun. . . But that should have been the end of it. . .but was it? NO. . .I am then called a "coward" (but I called a "coward" also. . . so, touche. . . )and I am told to look "beneath the surface. . . " and that "the truth often lies beneath the skin. . . " Well, I've been looking beneath the skin of lots of people for many years. . . and quite frankly, I don't know if there's anything under your skin sir. . .and if that's the truth. . .then I don't want to know it. . . I refuse to be attacked and made fun of for what I believe. . . not by anyone. . . and I realize that some of you may think that I'm overreacting. . . but if this is fun. . . then I want no part of it. . . So, BRAVO Chris, you got what you wanted, someone fell into your trap and you got them all stirred up about something that you knew was a "joke". . .and you let them dig themselves into that hole. . . that's what this was all about right?? ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Well JP, I can't think of any ONE thing that men are good for either. Looks like we're in the same boat! So, neither of us are good /at anything. who's paddling the boat? Hmmm? ~Sheri |

Whew! Some folks sure do get offended easily don't they? Guess I'll just slink back under my rock and avoid saying something that might offend someone else... NOT! Get real folks, how many active members are on this site? 1100+? If you are going to take to heart everything everyone says around here, and view it as a personal attack your life is bound to be pretty miserable. One other thing, since I am bound to say something that is going to tick someone else off, eventually. I will tell everyone now - I do not sit here and considereach individual at Passions and their own unique way of seeing the world, when I write something, and I don't believe most of you sit at your computer with a list ("hmmmm.... how will Lovebug feel about this? Nan? Severn? 7? etc. etc. etc. ) I think it pretty darn ridiculous for someone to expect us to. As with most people, I consider the general population here and try not to intentionally hurt anyone, but ineveitably someone will get bothered - but honestly, that is thier responsibility... Uh oh... now I'm ranting, soon I'll be raving... Please feel free to send all comments to my email address each time I offend you...  < !signature--> Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.

If Sven is saying what I think he's saying, then it's quite obvious he hasn't paid any attention to the way I handle things, now is it... ladies and gentlemen? |

What are we good for? How long you got Chris?? Well we can find things when men with their limited field vision cannot, clothes, medicine, stuff in the fridge - it is always right there yet men cannot see!! We bear the children as said earlier if up to you guys the human race would die out, men have less pain tolerance than women it's been proven!! We look after things and bring order to all, home, office etc. Most men aren't too organised.. We bring the feminine touch to home, office, your lives, softening the edges of your world. Etc Etc. Without women let's face it, you guys wouldn't get too far!! LOL I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

JP - I'll give you one important tip - If you're paddling through life - You're gonna need an oarswoman.. You take a paddle and she takes one - It's that simple - Without her, you paddle in circles - The question is - Who takes the bow and who takes the stern??? ..... Oh - and leave the rock behind - It might sink the boat... smoooooooooches... |

CLAP!! CLAP!!!! Thank you, thank you. ***bowing*** Well congratulations Chris. . . somehow you managed to reach up where that switch is located and go into a mode that's more you. . . (although I thought that's the mode that you were in when you started this whole thing. . .) Sigh Sven… You know this statement seems especially juvenile. I tried to be nice. I explained where I was coming from and in a polite and respectful manner. Then this! (LOL) This reminds me of a taunt one would hear in grade school. Petty, man, real petty. For the record, I took this post seriously, and for that, I am being made to look like someone that just "can't take a joke". . . now, I don't know Chris, and therefore I have no idea of his wonderfully "humorous" nature. . . but perhaps he should have "thought" about this before he posted it. . . Sven, look at the numbers man. Every person who posted before you was taking it as a joke. Did you not notice this? Did you not read the responses before you so excitedly jumped on your own wagon, looking for a cause to champion? Odds are Sven, if everyone’s laughing… it’s a joke? As to “he should have thought about this before he posted it…” I did Sven, I did. As a matter of fact, you’ve discovered my whole plot against you. No, you’re not really paranoid, I am out to get you… a guy I’ve never spoken with, never dealt with, don’t know. But somehow I chose you to bear the brunt of my assault. (For obviously, since you took it seriously, it must be serious. 60 some odd other people must have been wrong taking it as a joke. Man you’re so smart!!!) But I would think that he was successful in his quest. . . he stirred and I came up. . .right into his trap. . . silly, emotional me. . . taking things too seriously and making this "experiment in humor" something more than it was. . .and for that, I am sorry that I ruined the fun. . . See, fell right into my plans you did! (insert maniacal laughter here) No man, don’t get all in a tizzy about it… As much as I hate to admit it, you’ve made it more fun. Granted, at the expense of some of your pride, but hey, it’s a small price for me to pay! But that should have been the end of it. . .but was it? NO. . .I am then called a "coward" (but I called a "coward" also. . . so, touche. . . )and I am told to look "beneath the surface. . . " and that "the truth often lies beneath the skin. . . " Yeah, touché. FYI – I was teasing calling Jeffrey a coward, and bet you’re the only one who might have thought otherwise… oops. Well I’m sorry, I forgot to think of you again when I posted… have to fix that one of these days… hmmm Well, I've been looking beneath the skin of lots of people for many years. . . and quite frankly, I don't know if there's anything under your skin sir. . .and if that's the truth. . .then I don't want to know it. . . I can tell you were starting to get either agitated here, or just couldn’t come up with anything “brilliant.” Whatcha been doin’? Cuttin’ em up??? Seriously though… do you really think it’s that easy to look underneath? Doubt it… Most people have to let you see, and quite frankly, you’re not going to get that chance! I refuse to be attacked and made fun of for what I believe. . . not by anyone. . . and I realize that some of you may think that I'm overreacting. . . but if this is fun. . . then I want no part of it. . . A: You never have the choice to be attacked or not. The attacker has that choice, not you. You have the choice of how you respond or don’t to the attack, but if you make yourself available (ie: posting opinions in the Alley on Passions) then people may attack you. B: If it is truly no fun as you are claiming. And you truly want no part of it, then tell me: Why have you kept coming back? You claim it to be no fun, claim that you feel slighted at being the brunt of the joke, while at the same time you’re attempting to make me the brunt of your own deviant humor. This seems to me to be a bit contradictory… or is it that same old tale where it’s ok as long as you’re not the one being picked on? ‘Cause believe me Sven, I’ve been picked on my fair share (Sharon pulled a nasssssttty-mean joke on me a while back!) But that doesn’t mean that anyone hates or even dislikes me (though I’m quite sure there are some do! Try taking it with a grain of salt… laughing at yourself can be fun too!So, BRAVO Chris, you got what you wanted, someone fell into your trap and you got them all stirred up about something that you knew was a "joke". . .and you let them dig themselves into that hole. . . that's what this was all about right?? ***bowing again*** ‘Ceptin’ you got it a bit wrong… it wasn’t a “trap.” Let me repeat for the hard of hearing…IT WAS A JOKE!!! Peace out, Christopher Oh, and Nan… but I love rocking the boat! And you can’t leave me behind!!! |

And as the crowd rises to it's feet, Christopher swirls the taste of yet another triumph around in his mouth. He bows humbly to the crowd, for after all, this was yet another simple battle. The outcome was predictable and his opponent played his part exactly as Christopher knew he would. With a slight smile and a wave of his hand, Christopher walks casually over the fallen body of the stunned man and fades behind the curtains. |

Where have I BEEN????? Firstly - look JP, you mean you're NOT going to consider my feelings in every post you make??? WHAT?? But...but..but...I'm, splutter...the queen of the world...the universe revolves around ME!! If I decide you are being offensive then I must be right, I think. After all it is all perception is it not?? Then if you do so offend me (and come on - it's no great feat to consider 1000+ people surely?) I will go crying to my offense squad and they will have you removed to the cells of non-postingness! Too true man, too true - good words.Now now now...C, C, C (good repetition huh?) Look, knowing you for the shallow guy you are, I would have to say that, on the surface at least, you pulled a convincing victory...don't know about applause though - might feed that no good ego hey? Oh but hang on...I forget! There is nothing to you! ROTF K |

Well, this has gone on long enough. Seems a joke was made and some got offended. Well, that's gonna happen. Then, it snowballed. Just read over the past 30 or so replies and you'll see what I mean. Hence, I'm closing this thread. Alicat |
