Not usually. I remember one case where she was mad at me for a week for not saying it back. I mean, do I have to say it all the time!?

My turn to answer some of this (yes, I'm female). And yes, I'm starting at page 1, because I just noticed this thread yesterday.
I like guys to look clean and appropriately dressed for whatever the occasion is. They don't need to be "fashionable" or wear whatever is currently trendy. And I find the "skater" look to be ridiculous. As soon as I see a guy with his underwear showing or wearing pants several sizes too big (how do they make them stay up, anyway?), I think of my grandmother's favorite phrase: "He's got gaposis." It doesn't look cool. It just looks stupid.
I'm not in favor of vain guys. Taking enough time and effort to look decent is fine; taking it to excess indicates he's more interested in himself than in anybody else, and such vanity is a very unattractive trait.
2. I never wear makeup. Ever.
3. Depends on the situation.
4. Depends on how funny the joke or humorous situation is.
5. That's too personal a question.
I've never understood why so many women prefer long fingernails. Yes, it gets in the way - I found that out not only when I started music lessons, but back when I was taking my beginners' typing class (in the Dark Ages before electric typewriters were common and there were no PCs or the 'Net
). I sometimes got my fingers stuck between the keys and it hurt. Long fingernails made it worse, so I've kept them short ever since.
On the other hand, many women can't stand earthworms. I think earthworms tickle and are cute.
I've no idea what's the obsession some women have with horses. I prefer cats, myself.
It's impossible to make a definitive statement saying whether women or men make better friends. There are some things I'd discuss with a female friend that I'd never consider discussing with a male friend. And since most of the female friends I've had don't share most of my interests (SF, gaming, science, politics), I discuss those things with my male friends. And I've noticed something: I'm single, and when I associate with married couples, it's usually the husband with whom I get along better. The wives tend to have the attitude of "don't you dare talk to my husband, or I'm going to think you're out to steal him!" And that's not the case at all. These women don't seem to get that a conversation is just a conversation, and that not all single women want a man (particularly one already spoken for).
I do agree that too much cologne is unattractive. In fact, I am allergic to that (and perfume, and this is also a big reason why I don't wear makeup -- allergies). Guys, you are not doing the lady a favor if she gets a headache from catching a whiff of your cologne.
I don't understand why a man and woman can't be platonic friends and not have "ulterior" motives. I guess I've been lucky enough to meet guys who just consider me a friend and not a potential "conquest."
Personally, I can't stand funerals. I prefer to deal with my grief in a private way that won't be out in public so people can judge me -- what kind of service was it - expensive or not? How many people attended? What did I wear? etc. Society in general expects all of this, and for me, it's a stress I personally can't handle.
As for marriages... I never really gave it much thought. I'm not married -- never have been, and don't expect to. But if I ever do, my mother would probably be more than happy to take on the planning worries, and that's fine with me (as long as her plans include me, the groom, and City Hall).
2. Yep, I addressed this earlier. One woman in my SCA group was really obsessive about keeping her boyfriend's attention focused on her. If he and I were talking about anything -- books, history, movies, gaming, even the weather... she'd move in on the conversation and start monopolizing his attention. I don't recall getting to finish a single conversation with him when she was around.
3. Yes, do talk to girls as though they were ordinary people (and not these mysterious entities called Girls)... but don't use profanity or be vulgar. That's not cool.
I don't recommend marriage until both persons have been through college/university. It's important for young people to experience a bit of independence and self-discovery before trading their parents' home in for another co-habiting relationship. So, assuming that your college years would be 18-22, then maybe age 22-23 would be the youngest age I'd suggest for getting married. Actually, it would probably be beneficial to wait another year or so beyond that, and get more independent life experience in the working world before making such a lifetime commitment. But that's just my old-fashioned perspective on things...
My long phone conversations tend to be with people I don't get to see much in RL (maybe once or twice a year). So we have a lot of catching up to do.
Some women like to have a pair of shoes that color coordinates with every outfit they own. Well, if they have enough closet space and can afford them, I guess that's their business. But I find that a pair of slippers, boots, running shoes, and basic black formal shoes ought to do any woman just fine.
I joined CFC because somebody on another forum told me it was a good place to get information and tips about playing Civ. He didn't seem to have any problem thinking I'd find this place of interest and enjoy it.Why did you join CFC?
Yes.
They don't always like the 'bad' guys. I don't - unless they happen to be one of the likable characters on one of my soaps. But in RL, I prefer to stay away from them.
I think part of the attraction girls have to fashion is that from a very early age (about 2 or 3 years of age), we're given dolls to play with. Most dolls come with a lot of extra clothes and accessories, and so we get conditioned very early to think about fashion and what we like. And most girls have played with Barbies, which reinforces the idea of fashion even more.

Why?
Why do you need a photo to hold female posters in positive regard?
1. No.1.Is it true that women are obsessed with their breast?
2.Do you girls wear makeup?Often?or only on rare occasion to cover a blemish?
3.Do you think that you are smarter than men.
4.When you laugh,is it uncontrollable or just brief.
5.Panties or g-strings.
2. I never wear makeup. Ever.
3. Depends on the situation.
4. Depends on how funny the joke or humorous situation is.
5. That's too personal a question.
It helps to find out what they're interested in, and hopefully it's something both of you have in common. With me, it's science fiction/fantasy books, history, and astronomy. I also enjoy politics and having conversations in which I learn something new from the other person and he doesn't mind learning something new from me.
I've never understood why so many women prefer long fingernails. Yes, it gets in the way - I found that out not only when I started music lessons, but back when I was taking my beginners' typing class (in the Dark Ages before electric typewriters were common and there were no PCs or the 'Net
). I sometimes got my fingers stuck between the keys and it hurt. Long fingernails made it worse, so I've kept them short ever since.I freak out over spiders because I find anything with more than 4 legs to be creepy. It's a phobia that many people have, guys included. I've never seen a cockroach, but I suspect I'd feel the same. And mice are revolting -- they also can carry hantavirus, a respiratory disease that can kill if not treated in time.

I just had to mention that I thought IglooDude's solution was funny; it really made me giggle.Tie their ponytails together and throw them over a clothesline?
It's true that you shouldn't let the woman have to do all the talking. The reason is that if you don't say anything, we (at least I) wonder if you're listening, if you're bored, or if you've anything to say, period. But I disagree with jamielor that it doesn't matter what you talk about. You should try to talk about things that are of interest to both of you, or at least neutral topics that she probably has an opinion on.
I do agree that too much cologne is unattractive. In fact, I am allergic to that (and perfume, and this is also a big reason why I don't wear makeup -- allergies). Guys, you are not doing the lady a favor if she gets a headache from catching a whiff of your cologne.

I know quite a few women above the age of 20 who enjoy gaming. As a matter of fact, a group of us in our local SCA branch were all introduced to the original Civilization board game (before the computer game came out), and then when the original Civ computer game was released on the Amiga, we (about half a dozen of us) were instantly hooked. Online, I've met even more women who enjoy various computer games.
Ceremonies are an important social glue in any society, whether they are to honor the dead or to celebrate births, marriages, achievements, or other rites of passage.

). 1. True, that a man should not be afraid of the woman. However, I disagree with the "control" comment. They should be equal partners.
2. Yep, I addressed this earlier. One woman in my SCA group was really obsessive about keeping her boyfriend's attention focused on her. If he and I were talking about anything -- books, history, movies, gaming, even the weather... she'd move in on the conversation and start monopolizing his attention.

No heels. I wear slippers or running shoes; I don't understand why most women seem willing to torture themselves by cramming their feet into those painful high-heeled shoes. I discovered many years ago that the pain just isn't worth it.
Yes. I'm only 5'3" and I don't like getting a crik in my neck from looking up at somebody a foot and a half taller. It's not so bad if we're sitting down, but standing... I might as well be talking to myself.
This has varied over the centuries. It used to be considered that 14 - 16 years of age was perfectly fine for marriage. Nowadays, we consider people of that age group to still be children (rightfully so, in most cases).I've asked every girl I know, and another female perspective wouldn't be bad. What would be the youngest age that you would get married? I ask because I hear over and over from my family and others that I and my girlfriend are much too young to get married. Not that I have made any plans, but I'm just interested in knowing as all.
I don't recommend marriage until both persons have been through college/university. It's important for young people to experience a bit of independence and self-discovery before trading their parents' home in for another co-habiting relationship. So, assuming that your college years would be 18-22, then maybe age 22-23 would be the youngest age I'd suggest for getting married. Actually, it would probably be beneficial to wait another year or so beyond that, and get more independent life experience in the working world before making such a lifetime commitment. But that's just my old-fashioned perspective on things...
Some women do, in general. But I sure don't (as evidenced by some of my previous answers). However, I'm a generation older than jamielor and Golden Touch, so my replies are bound to be different anyway.
My long phone conversations tend to be with people I don't get to see much in RL (maybe once or twice a year). So we have a lot of catching up to do.
If you want to know people well, you have to talk to them. There's no other way. It just takes practice. The more you practice, the easier it gets.
Honest question. After all, a person can only wear one pair at a time, right? I own two pairs of slippers, one pair of running shoes (which need replacing because they're falling apart after 10 years of wear), and one pair of dress shoes (never worn, since I practically never go anywhere fancy), one pair of shoes I wear for playing the spinet organ, and I need to replace my winter boots. That adds up to 6 pairs, of which I regularly wear two. But I also have numerous pairs of costume shoes that I wear at science fiction conventions when I decide to wear a hall costume for the weekend. However, I haven't been able to attend a con in years, so those shoes have been unused for a very long time.
Some women like to have a pair of shoes that color coordinates with every outfit they own. Well, if they have enough closet space and can afford them, I guess that's their business. But I find that a pair of slippers, boots, running shoes, and basic black formal shoes ought to do any woman just fine.
Long hair used to be considered a greater sign of masculinity than short hair. As long as it's neat and clean and age-appropriate (elderly men should not have long hair; it looks silly), long hair is fine.
Sadly, many girls do. They don't have the self-confidence or self-respect to just be themselves because they think the guys won't like them that way. I personally don't like guys who expect me to dumb myself down for social occasions.

Oh. Well, men only care about how you look naked anyway, so all this decoration is immaterial.
Do you do that often? Broader question: a girl kissing a girl as a "game" is often seel as "cool", but the opposite is not true for men.
What can you tell us about that?

somewhere in the middle?!
nope you dont. in fact one on my bigest problem with 'i love you' is that it gets completely overused so it becomes mundane. you should only use it when you feel really loving at that moment, not out of habit or to end a phone conversation!Not usually. I remember one case where she was mad at me for a week for not saying it back. I mean, do I have to say it all the time!?
excellent. thats what I'm always telling myself!
Nope. Done it a few times, mainly for show. This was the first time I did it just for me because I wanted too. Originally there was noone around and she kissed me and I was like 'yeah ok'. but then we got spotted and the cameras came out and we got all shy....
because guys love the idea of girls kissing and find it hot. girls dont find anything particularly sexy about two guys kissing. I have no idea why but thats the way it is. although i imagine some girls do. For me, guys are so uncomfortable with kissing another bloke that for them to be kissing they must be gay. and there's not much sexy about that, their gay and are never going to be interested! wheras 2 straight girls kissing is much more likely and there is a possibility you could get them both into bed! i imagine thats why guys like it so much....
Valka D'ur... this post has be reopened by me, it was pretty much dead and I didnt know it exsisted so I started a new thread which got combined with this one. You dont have to read back over all of it!!!

It's a fact. The only people who care about what a woman is wearing or how her make-up is are... other women.
Too late - I already did!
None of the above. I'd like to go to Rome, Athens, Venice, all the other places where there are interesting museums and archaeological sites, and I'd like to track down my family in Sweden and Norway.
I'd also like to see the Mayan/Aztec sites, Macchu Picchu, the Egyptian Pyramids (and other cool places in Egypt).
Of course, I'd like to see more of Canada - I've never been anywhere but in Alberta and British Columbia.
And the list goes on... Anybody know next week's 6-49/Super 7 numbers?

I should've phrased it differently : "which of these destination would you should if you had to ?"
Obviously you would have answered Florence (culture).

No way. Naked is great, but great clothes and make up are great too.

hey i got an answer! i think i posted that question 4 months ago!
i dont think "society" expects anything, i think other women expect it.
besides, whats more important, what you wanna do, or what "society" expects?
which sorta brings me to my next question:
why dont women realize that what they wear dosent change the way they look? im talking about clothes here, make up dose make them alittle prettier.
some women will put so much thought and effort (and usually money) into their clothes and shoes, do they know it dosent really change their looks?
a beautiful girl is beautiful no matter what she has on, and an ugly girl is still ugly in fashionable (fashion, theres another dumbass invention, just another thing of ours future generations will laugh at.
) clothes is still ugly, so why bother?do you know that the only people who care about that stuff are other women?
unless youre gonna tell me women want to look beautiful for themselves? (and if you do tell me that, ill nod and pretend to belive you
)
