attention girls: embrace your inner...

[the 4th hanson bro]

About the spoiler: You hit your sexual prime in your late thirtites so it's perfectly normal. Enjoy the ride.

That's what I figured, but I was getting a little worried.

Some of us in our late 20s have that problem...

There's a biological reason for that - you're ovulating and your body is preparing to implant the fertilized ovum. To get an ovum fertilized, you need to have sex, ergo your sex drive increases.

But I've been surprised by it from the wife a couple of times.

My most serious bit of advice is this -- do everything you think you have to do in this life before you have kids. Travel, finish your education, establish your career, whatever it is that you know you will regret not doing when you're 90.

My wife and I decided we wanted to "enjoy being married" before trying to start a family. Little did we know then that it would take 9 years and a double adoption from Russia. In the interim, there was a lot less "enjoyment of the marriage".

When we were doing fertility treatments, my wife had to have internal ultrasounds to measure the size of the follicles to determine if they were likely to produce an egg. When I saw the instrument that had to be used, I told my wife, "if that thing vibrates, I'm out of a job". Her ob/gyn laughed.

I wouldn't call it a "problem," per se. I just wanted to know how common it was or if I'd really lucked up (for once) from Mother Nature.

You're kidding right? Someone took the time to make that just for shits and giggles? Hell to make two or three?

It's not exactly hard to write iPhone apps. If I wasn't contractually prohibited from developing for competitors devices I'd do it myself.

Ever looked at what women had to put up throughout history due to nature providing us a menstrul cycle? It's really awful.

Please show me the post where I said it was all sunshine and ice cream.

Get off your high horse in thinking all women are out to get men and guys never do anything wrong. It's really getting tiring.

Get off of yours. I was agreeing with you. The apps are dumb but that doesn't change my point. You only encourage people to do shit like this by giving attention to it. That's why I pointed out Manhunt 2 as an example. The game was rubbish and its predecessor only sold a few copies because of the media attention it received.

Crusher Disciple - Apple does indeed have an approval process, but still some junk gets on there.

Nice, so because I point out that something like this exists it's my fault for someone making it because I pointed it out and not their fault for making it. Hm, sounds a bit like blaming a victim for being in the wrong area, or wearing the wrong clothes and deserving it.

Today is a wonderful example of why so many women fled the BBS like a sinking ship. God do I miss Cayla or jgc or even the original starter of this thread.

Hi, I'm Hermiod, misogynist supreme, defender of rapists. If you're a woman, get off the board because I hate you. Mods, don't bother telling blablover5 or anyone else off for the direction this thread has taken. I take full responsibility.

I found the most horrifying ap for an iPhone. It's so men can track their womans (or womens in one case as it'll track up to three different women) cycle and tell them when she's most likely to PMS so he can "Keep his head down".

Frankly I'd like to hope any guy that feels he has to have this is never allowed around a real woman.

Shame about the packaging. It seems to me like it's maybe not that bad an idea for men to have some idea when their girlfriend/wife is going to start bleeding, just so they'll know about the horniness beforehand, messiness during, decrease in patience levels, etc. But not if it's advertized like that.

What I want is a program that will give me probabilities of bleeding starting, based on my varying-length cycle. I've tried to keep track of it on paper and do it that way, but keep losing the post-it notes.

Now that would come in handy - something that beeps and puts up a flashing message saying "Take your Midol before you start shouting at the kids..."

I'm still here.

So therefore all women are unclean and should go away til they're worth something again.

Quite frankly I'd love to go away during that time - to a spa-like room where I'm waited on and pampered while enduring the cramps, bloating, etc. Instead, I get to go to work and pretend that my middle doesn't feel like it's being ripped apart. Thank God for coffee or else I wouldn't make it through...

Speaking of which what a week. I'd love to leave a tampon on a couple of guys desks just to freak them out!

I like to leave several of them in my pencil cup, and wait for inevitable guy questions like "what are those? Are those pens?"

Going back to the gloriously TMI horniness/menstrual cycle discussion, I find my libido goes into overdrive about day 3 of my period and stays that way through its run. The rest of the month, I don't have as much interest in sex. I wish I had more. Any suggestions?

Senior year of high school, the glovebox in my truck was always full of tampons. The girl I dated all throughout that year didn't like carrying a purse, so that's where she kept them.

AEeeeeeeee! I'm wearing my new sweater I got from the Gap today! It's all soft and warm.

My denim pencil skirt I ordered from Old Navy came in yesterday, as did my digital camera. I'm going by the office to pick them up during lunch.

 

[Kestra]

I wanted to be a mom before I really understood that I needed a husband first. LOL I can't remember not wanting to have children. Even so, we were married six years before we decided to start trying for kids. So, Kestra, unless your biological clock is counting down, you have time to decide if you want to have children. My most serious bit of advice is this -- do everything you think you have to do in this life before you have kids. Travel, finish your education, establish your career, whatever it is that you know you will regret not doing when you're 90. Yes, you can do all that stuff after kids, but it's easier before them. After them, they will require so much of your attention, either for their physical needs or their emotional needs that your needs will become secondary, so your wants are pretty much shelved for a while. LOL I love my kids and I'm very glad I'm their mother. If I could, I'd have more than the two that I have.

Thanks for the advice; it's appreciated!

I never really had the burning desire to be married and/or have children. I found myself pregnant (accidently, I was on the pill) by the man I was living with for four years previously. I decided to have the baby, my ex didn't want the responsibility and ran. I was 30 when my son was born (now 11) and I never looked back.

Wow - I hadn't realised you'd done it all by yourself. I am very impressed!

Seconded. You seem to have a very strong relationship with your son, too. I'm super impressed.

Oh that is a CUTE cardigan. I have a blue and white striped cardigan, it's so comfy.

 

[Crusher Disciple]

It's so warm and so soft. Perfect for working in this air conditioned office.

I'm not a mod for this part of the site, Hermiod, but I suggest you get professional help. You really seem to need it, dude.

It was a response as daft and as over the top as the post that inspired it. Sorry, but when I agree with someone and still get accused of all sorts of crazy shit then I lose my ability to care any longer.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

You can disagree with someone and still be courteous, Hermiod.

 

[Trippy]

Great sweater CD!

I bought some nice flared extra dark jeans today at Old Navy, as well as a navy polo with pink trim to go with them

Shoe shopping is next...I'm getting tired of my boots and I'm hopeful for Spring

 

[Crusher Disciple]

Cool. I got some Born sandals last time I went shoe shopping.

 

[Trippy]

I'm looking for a dressier flat. I want to try these on for a comfy test, and these too.
