His shoes match his socks, which match his trousers,

His drink matches his jewellery

His robe matches his shirt

His lapel matches the couch, which matches the candels. . .

Fuck it,. . . . I think it's cool

well thats your opinion, personally I think women have it easier because us men always have to initiate everything, take the lead and be the main decision maker in the dating or relationship, like everything is on our shoulders, yeah it may be the man's job, but I resent it.

this is horrible advice. in general if you want to handle rejection you have to play it off without sounding bitter

[NormacHC]

Dr Paul. You annoy me.

@YouCanJustPretend I'm sorry, but the "men-should-do-the-first-move-­if-not-they-are-not-real-men" stuff is just ridiculous.

I don't see anything bad if a woman makes the first move, it's not the end of the world if it happens, geez...

Grow up. We're not in the 1500 anymore.

@MouraVianna asking a girl out is okay, it's initiating conversation that is the hardest, keeping it alive, preventing all of the awkward silences, pauses, is harder than starting it

[MouraVianna]

@nobodysperfect06 nowadays it is hardest to be men, we are being so confused

Check out the rotary phone on the table...I don't know why...but that cracks me up.

@MegaOrangePenguin i hate how people say or think it is easier to be a guy than a girl, i don't see the logic in that

[YouCanJustPretend]

@nobodysperfect06 Not necessarily. Definitely not a "dictator" type of role. Just a man who is sure of himself and of what he wants. If he wants the girl, he'll go and get her. And when he has her, then they can decide things together. It shouldn't be a father-daughter kind of relationship, but a partnership :)

[nobodysperfect06]

@YouCanJustPretend does taking charge, being the dominant one in the relationship, does that mean "being the Boss" in the relationship?

[YouCanJustPretend]

@nobodysperfect06 I personally believe that it's a man's role. It has nothing to do with being more masculine or not. Men were made to be the protectors and care givers, whether you believe that or not. It doesn't make sense for the woman to initiate then. Also, it would in fact "demasculinize" the man if she were to take charge while he just sit around. I am very out spoken and an "in charge" kind of girl, and many times that has turned a guy off.
