Sort of depends on ones perspective,seeing as this thread has meandered in countless directions...it could indeed be seen to be "off topic",however,if it continues to confuse the opposite gender...it remains "on topic".

I'm the same gender and even I don't understand that, that means this thread must be uber on topic.

Actually, if the current discussion is off-topic... And the Thread is located in the Off-Topic aswell... Doesn't that mean, that they counter eachother out, and actually makes it all on-topic?

Only a member of the opposite gender could determine if this thread was on topic or not.

My kitty has apparently learned how to open the cellophane package of a snack cake and tried to eat one of them in front of my little nephew, who we bought them for. Truly, his antics are so cute that he need not feel shame.

I don't understand how women can watch those make-up adds and think "wooo, thats sounds good Ill buy some".

Its the most over the top, full of crap commercials I have ever seen.

They also come up with some funny words like "de-crinkle". How does makeup de-crinkle your face?

Adviertisement and marketing aimed at women's perceived (real or imagined) insecurities....it's BIG business.
Flip through an issue of Cosmo,every other page is ..."This is how a woman should look"...followed by a sales pitch of "..And this is how you to can achieve that look."
Seems to be working as well since "cosmetics/beauty aids" is a multi-billion dollar a year industry.

Its kind of like men but with food, I mean look at the topic it started about women and then as soon as we introduced food it became about cannibalism.

In the men's experience, do women tend to sleep more than men? It's been the case for me.

In my own personal experiences...most definitely.
Where I am able to function on five to six hours of sleep ,the majority of women I've known seem to require more.
My second ex-wife...if left undisturbed could easily sleep ten hours.

She's not a crazy ho, just an average college student. If she's planning to go to med school it gets worse.

After a quick googling, there are several studies indicating that women need more sleep but that only means so much. I'm an early bird because I choose to be. I value getting 8 hours of sleep so I prioritize it. I've known many, many women who do the exact opposite for really lame reasons like "I don't get sleepy until 4 in the morning." Okay, then try running or walking one day so you'll tire yourself out earlier. "I can't, I have sports asthma/weak joints/get too winded..." Gah! >.< So much of the bitchiness I've dealt with in my life could have been mitigated if they just would have taken care of themselves. I find people sleeping in til past noon to be extremely unattractive.

Why? Do you prefer morning sex?

I don't discriminate I just really don't like the thought of laying around when time could be spent doing stuff instead. Everyone needs their down days, but getting too much sleep is just... wasteful I guess. Is that a normal view or am I being picky? I don't want to be being picky.

I'm inclined to agree with you...Life isn't a "dress rehearsal"...this is the only one were going to get and snoozing through it just doesn't appeal to me.

Since I'm feeling randomly reflective... It's the same with me and different foods. I'm not picky about them because I willingly chose not to be at one point, and it makes it very difficult for me to sympathize with someone who is. It just seems so... high maintenance, for lack of a better term.

Not enough of a morning person for that. Mind you, my idea of "morning" is five to seven AM, not "any time before noon"...
