Guys, I have a great idea for a holiday present, but it's absolutely got to be a surprise, so women please don't read this or you'll spoil it, seriously.
You'll ruin it, honest, so don't look.
Really. Please. Don't peak.
No peaking now.
Just trust me for once and don't look. Guys only.
Ok, hi guys. I couldn't think of any other way to keep women from reading this. Listen, the "blue balls" myth and the "semen is good for your skin" myth seem to have been debunked lately; it's really too bad, we got a lot of mileage out of them. We're still doing pretty well with the "assembling Ikea products is hard" myth and the "it takes six hours to have your oil changed" myth, I hope no one blows them.
But something needs to be done. We need to start some new myths, and that's what I want to talk about today. I would do it myself, but everyone already knows I'm a lying weasel.
Here are a few suggestions, please add more in the comments:
Any other ideas?
Posted at December 22, 2003 07:34 AMAs for number 1 - you seem to have turned the argument around: men who clean house, take kids to school etc. get more sex. Men who have more sex don't necessarily do these things, the causality doesn't seem to work that way. At least that's what I gather from the link you posted.
But maybe I shouldn't have read this far anyway...
Here's the thing with #5: we've already successfully proven that fumes from cat litter can kill a foetus. And I'm with 'a woman' on #1. It also helps if you ride a nice motorcycle (say BMW or Norton or Moto Guzzi) and have a good music collection. And give massages. And run a publishing company not for profit so much as to promote poetry, and get so into character you forget your own name, and when can I see RoTK again?
Posted by: Jessica at December 22, 2003 04:50 PMI think it would be much more effective if you men provided these beneficial services to each other -- unite to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps, as it were -- then once you've got the houses spick & span, prostate cancer's eradicated, etc. you will have solid evidence to convince the women with.
p.s. no matter how much data you've got, we will never believe #1.
