Men who fold their hands

[Raven]

over their bellies (usually big ones)...while standing up, sitting down, sleeping. What is that??? I hate that! It reminds me of a fat preacher or something. My Dad, who was never a fat man, had a bit of a belly and he had a habit of patting it. My Mother would go wild and tell him to stop. She maintained that he thought that his belly was a sign of prosperity. Anyway, is this hand folding thing a turn off for anyone else or is it just me?

1. I sleep with my hands folded on my chest and I dont stir during the night

I've been told that I look creepy when I sleep and that if I didn't snore I'd look like a dead guy.

2. It's a convenient arm-rest

3. I don't think I've much experience with this mannerism.

But it sounds kind of comical. :hi:

4. It's somewhere to put our arms

It's either there or down our pants a la Al Bundy....

5. It doesn't bother me.

Of course I'm the woman who often crosses her arms over her breasts while standing up or sitting down. :rofl:

I do it because it places my hands between my breasts and my arms, a warm place for them this time of year. I just wish I could type with them like that!

6. what about when women cross their arms

under their breasts? I tend to notice that.

9. I don't know

I never do that. My hands stay warmer up farther.

7. I put mine on my hips and try to come off more Burt Lancaster than Bette Davis

I hope it's working

8. I know a guy like that

except he's on the smaller side. He's in his late 60's, I would think, and was a farmer for much of his life.

He reminds me of a character from "Green Acres".


It doesn't bother me. If that's what they feel comfortable with, more power to them. I, too, gesture a lot; though not in that way. :hi:
