We women would rather keep all that under wraps

(2,559 posts)Most men ARE too disgusting to be women. I say this as a natural born male. I'm not too disgusting to be a man, but... I'd really have to change a lot of behavior to pass as a lady. Not that I want to.
But you might try to surprise your wife and show her how non-disgusting you can be. Get all prim and proper. I figure it won't take her long to beg you to go back to your old disgusting manners.

True Dough
(17,304 posts)So you resemble your avatar to some degree? Do you think you'd be a bearded lady?

(17,304 posts)When my wife and I were dating and went to a restaurant the first time, we sat in the car for about 20 minutes afterwards, not making out, but discussing the way I held utensils, which forever became known as "the caveman grip."
My etiquette is generally acceptable in most ways but I thought for a while that that "crisis" might have marked the end of our budding relationship.
The compromise we reached was that I'd alter the way I held utensils when we're out for dinner or if we had company, and otherwise I'm free to use "the caveman grip".
BURP!!!

(17,304 posts)By the way, there's uh, there's still a piece of spaghetti...
Bt whoever that is is too well-groomed.
Next time I'ss change my technique.

(6,556 posts)For a while when I was younger, I lived with an ex-girlfriend, two other women, and a gay man. Leaving the toilet seat up was the grossest thing we two men ever did.
But oh, dear gods, the state those women left that bathroom in...
Tampon-choked trash cans. Toilet paper in the toilet because they'd wipe after peeing and forget to flush. My ex's hip-length hair choking the shower drain.
The crowning moment of trauma, however, came one hungover morning, when I walked in to take a piss, and found a huge clot of semi-congealed menstrual blood stuck to the inside of the toilet bowl.
For about a minute, I thought someone had had a damn miscarriage in the toilet.
And for some reason, I got stuck cleaning the atrocious offense to sanity up when it was STILL STUCK THERE after a DAMN WEEK.
