  • A guy I've known over a decade, worked with in the geek industry, and have been sleeping with for the past year is "shocked that I like Superhero movies."

    It's like he doesn't know me at all! *sobbing in my cheerios*

    Because you've been sleeping with him for a year, not dating him. He doesn't have to pay attention in order to get some.

    Actually, this might be the most logical response yet.
    I have to agree...

    Agreed


    That was actually my first thought.

    Men do not listen. To anything. Unless you somehow manage to throw the words "boobs" or "sex" into the conversation, and then you'll get a few seconds of their attention.


    Speak for yourself... Oh... wait.. thats right your a woman. You like to tell men what they should think..:tongue:

    No no no. If I have to tell you what to think, you're not much of a man, in my ever-so-humble opinion. :wink:

    That being said, I know some men listen. But they listen more closely when you're talking about boobs.

    I know this will be controversial but have now seen a couple of posts today (maybe tongue in cheek) that have suggested women use sex as a tool to get something that they want.

    In other threads it is stressed that sex is a result of an emotional commitment and bond so which is it?

    I'm not saying (in this thread) that women do or should use sex as a tool to get men to listen. I'm just stating the obvious ... men tend to have a one-track mind, and anything related to sex or nakedness tends to snap them out of whatever they're thinking about.

    I guess I am a freak of sorts because I don`t but that wasn`t the point,the contradiction of terms regarding the value put on sex is what I meant.

    That's bull****! I can generalize about women as well

    More generalizations!

    I'm going to disagree. I may listen more intently in the short term for boobs, but the moment they come out and play I've forgotten everything that was said.
