Haha yeah. I mean... it's a popular topic and there are lots of different ways to "explore" that time and all that.... but wow, it is tiring to me. When I studied history at the uni and had a class about ww2 I tried really really hard to find it as exciting as any other class.... but no. I love how other people can really nerd out on the topic and be all excited about it but I just haven't been able to since I was a kid.

Why do you guys pee while standing? Its more mess, less convinent, so why? If you can sit and poo, why not just sit and pee?

If there's a normal toilet AND some a*****e hasn't peed on the seat AND it is not a public toilet (e.g. a friend's house, family member house, etc) I always sit to pee. It makes less mess. However, if it's a public toilet, the risk of contacting a pee puddle or a poop smear or some other grossness doesn't make it worthwhile. ALSO, probably TMI, but the thing on the front often touches the porcelain which grosses me out.

How do y'all just decide how to greet each other? Like the thing where you grab hands and pat each other on the back-it seems to just be an instinct.

Easy. Business acquaintance that you want to get money out of : handshake. Business acquaintance that you barely know and don't give a rats about, nod. Buddy/friend : two hand handshake, high five, or hug. Also, the hug must have two pats to indicate how long it lasts. More than two pats is gay. <- humour

I am a girl. I know this gay sixth grader who doesn't want to be in the boy's locker room because he is uncomfortable and is now in the girl's locker room during P.E. I don't feel comfortable at all that a boy is in a GIRL's locker room. So, I ask the males here if it is okay to have a gay sixth grader in your locker room. Like, for real, I don't feel safe when a male is in a female locker room just because they are gay and don't feel comfortable around boys.

Unless I’m actively seeking a sexual relationship with someone, it doesn’t enter my head. Not my business and I’m puzzled why some people are so keen to tell me when it’s entirely irrelevant to our interaction. It’s not like I go to the grocer’s shop and say “Morning! 2 lb of oranges please and I’m heterosexual” 🙂

I would like my son to be more confident with the girls. I don't want him to act like an alpha or pretend he's somebody he's not. Just to feel accepted when he tries to be his best self, because it never worked for me. What should I teach him?

Well, if you're not familiar with the male form, then you're not going to want to contemplate our changing of clothes or showering. In my experience, the towel fights and such you see on TV are as much a myth that girls' sleepovers always include pillow fights.

Of the ( very ) few women who's bras I have ever removed, only one ever wore a front hook type. As someone who really struggles to scratch itches in the middle of my back, it seems like this would be more convenient, but the vast majority of bras on the market hook in the back. Is there a really significant reason for this, or is it just "tradition"?

Final score:

5points

Auntriarch 1 year ago (edited)

Bras have two or three "settings" in their hooks, this is useful for fat days, for when the bra starts to get old and stretched, and also means that the manufacturer doesn't have to make bras with back sizes one centimetre difference, they can make one size that can accommodate three centimetres difference. If you had multiple hooks at the front, it wouldn't work. It's not difficult to do them up at the back, and many people do them up at the front at waist level then turn them round to the back and raise them to chesties height, then wriggle arms into the straps

It's not about gender - it's about people and who they are. Some I like, some I can't stand, and that goes for males, females, gender, trans, whatever - one just clicks with some and not others. Partly it's to do with common interest - and in the UK, sport's a pretty common ground. Depending on age and situation, discussing girls too...

Women, I have sOOOOOooooo many questions.

1. Do you accept "trans" women as women, or do you think, "nah"? Can you tell? Have you ever met a trans person? (I have, three times, it's pretty rare in Africa.).

2. Do you find men confusing? If so, happy to explain why we aren't. (Really: we want to do our hobby, have food, sex, and short convos on non-emotion topics. We are primitive). Phrases like "do you think you should" are red capes to bulls. Never ever use that phrase. It implies incompetence.

3. Do you really like marriage and housemaking or is it just a western trope? ("lived happily ever after")

4. On a scale of 1-10 , please rate the following features in a partner: (a) looks, (b) money, (c) humour, (d) "spiritual connection", (e) intelligence, (f) ability to hold a conversation (g) great family (h) car/house quality (i) hobby compatibility? Men mostly believe money (b) is the key to finding a mate. I believe (c), (d), (f) are the most important? Am I right?

5. Do you actually like sex or is it meh? Like, if you have to choose something to do, like say watch a romcom, have a great meal, or have sex, which is top priority? Men are under the impression y'all don't care much for it and that food is top priority.

6. Is it a stereotype or do you really hate action films? Eg. I find James Bond to be barbarically patriarchal and s**t. Do you agree? However, it is true that men despise romcoms. They are awful and predictable.

7. Is it a stereotype or do you really not "get" computer games? I know several exceptions, I'm asking for GENERAL opinions (statistical majorities).

8. If a guy is bi does this make him extremely unattractive or are you ok with it? My impression is women talk left and date right.

That girls/women are catty with each other, or on the opposite end, that there's a "sisterhood". There are bad and good women. It's not an all or nothing situation.

Why do guys often spend so long in showers? Women often get the rap but I've known a lot of guys who take 15m plus to shower. I've got an idea and I suspect it has a similar answer to why it takes guys so long to have a c**p...

Guy here.

Is it true for ladies that matching underwear is hard to find?

Just out of curiosity because most times I see them sold in pairs (top and bottom) but I've heard complains within earshot that even those don't pair well with what they have (or something similar).

Is there something I'm missing out because as far as I know, those aren't supposed to be seen by anyone else unless intended to?

Just a thought, peace.

Not all women are comfortable expressing their emotions because they've been taught to act like "little ladies" all their life and to remain "pleasant" in society. The ones who do just don't give a damn. They're past caring what others think.

My best guess? They think it looks good. Women dress for themselves and the people they want to impress, not random people. It's not their responsibility to cover up, it's yours to not stare.

As a woman your mindset is making me uncomfortable. Acting like your children owe you respect just because you chose to bring them into this world is incredibly selfish and acting like some random stranger owes you respect? Ha!
