Could you also be suggesting that the Brits invented comedy or are the sole nation to possess a good sense of humour? [:D]

quote: ORIGINAL: VaguelyCurious ETA: also, it's 'decor' either side of the pond. And your assessment of gay men is insulting - I'd assume your own assessment of yourself as an asshole was pretty spot on. Just noticed the edit to your previous post: that was actually a joke about "decour". That should have been clear and BTW I don't hate the British - that was part of the joke. I was actually referring to Domi's characterisation of gay males when a lot contrast with that. Its only homophobic if you also think shows like Will and Grace or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy also are.

Well that would be wrong wouldn't it? ... and sorry there is one thing I dislike about the British - a certain cultural snobbery many seem to possess.

I may well have a humour deficit or it could just as easily be the case that your er... "joke" wasn't funny. [;)]

It was funny. Even a dense little ole midwestern US citizen like me got it. You, on the other hand, appear to be an overly sensitive boor with no sense of humour. Forgive me if I misread your intent.

No need to forgive - doesn't really matter in the slightest how you interpret my posts. Here's a revelation: humour is a subjective thing - some get certain jokes and others don't. Others may disagree but I don't think it was obviously a play on two other threads in different sections.

D'oh I read the OP but ages ago so must have forgotten that part. My apologies and its humorous even if it doesn't quite qualify as a joke IMHO. Just remember I didn't get pissy about how it was put - it was merely a point about common dislike/criticism of males in general which you also made above - in fact I said it was a good thread.

You did not feel it was obvious........nearly everyone else did. It is obvious to ME who has the issue/s and who does not. What was your previous name here?

Did you bother at all to read post 90 (the second above your post), and did you take a straw poll amongst the posters on here? I think its obvious you are the one who has issues. You take issue with someone who hasn't done you or anyone else on here any wrong (I wasn't even critical of the OP) and even admit you enjoy seeing others get upset on here. I'm not looking for a fight with anybody as its a total waste of time but I have to say thats an ugly character trait to say the least. Although new to the forum I have been a member of CM for over two years.

Sooooooo, you got the hots for me eh? The only issue I've got right now is that it is 10:37 pm on a Sunday night and I don't want the fabulous weekend I've had to end but alas......if I don't get to bed pretty soon I will be a bit cranky tomorrow. I don't want to be cranky. Enjoy your evening.

WantsOfTheFlesh -> RE: Do you actually rather like men? (5/8/2011 8:46:22 PM)
That's fine. BTW the post Vaguely Curious seemed to object to was 90% joking so I was sorry to see it cause an angry response. I rarely post on this forum for anything more than having a bit of fun.

I am one of those women who does not care about what a man can do for me; I can kill my own bugs, hook up a DVD player, get a stool to reach a higher shelf, etc. If a man offers to do those things, lovely. I like some men for how they look, taste and smell. I like some men for how they make me feel. I like some men for how they make me laugh. I like some men for how they make me think. The details of the above are as varied as the individuals I am thinking about.

WantsOfTheFlesh -> RE: Do you actually rather like men? (5/8/2011 9:06:48 PM)
Cool! Those are nice sentiments and you've helped restore my faith in the fairer sex! [:)]

quote: ORIGINAL: WantsOfTheFlesh Guess I have a sense of humour deficit because I still don't see quite how that is a joke... [8\|] It's not. They're women. Humour is not their forte. The thread is a kind of whiny passive-aggressive thing which ultimately turned out to be a vehicle for demonstrating how mercenary they are. Apparently they like men because they're useful. Character traits are irrelevant. I'm somewhat amused by the irony.
