Have you ever noticed that it's, like, way more socially acceptable for girls to talk about really personal stuff, even if they don't know each other too well?

Like, this girl I met a couple of days ago and I were just talking about period stuff, and cramps, and we got into this discussion about birth control...we used quiet voices, but only because there's a guy in the next room.

Do men ever do that? I mean, I don't really know what they would talk about, exactly. Um, prostates?

Do Motorized vehicles, sports, & girls count?

Men are gullible.

Women know this, so women save time and just lie to men.

Men know this, so only talk about topics where lieing is expected--like Motorizes Vehicles, Sports, and GIrls

Guys really don't have a lot of that kind of stuff to talk about.

Further, we realize that "talking" is boring, when you could be doing something instead. Talking is for girls.

Partly. But it's also the reason that the human race still exists. If women ran the world, there would eventually be one war, and everyone on the entire planet would die. [Wink]

Where women talk through "quiet voices", we do it through belching. It's the only way we can hear each other over the noise at the sports bar.

There'd be more than one war. There would be one war every month [Wink]

I must be part guy, 'cause I dig talking about motorized vehicles, sports, girls AND I burp, in public, around people I don't know, loudly, forcefully, from my diaphragm. Unless... I've been trained to be a spy...

Guys will discuss getting kicked in the junk. I think that's about as close as we get.

The new generation of men today is made up of mamby-pamby sensitive emo boys, who wear makeup and girl's pants.

They like talking about their feelings, their tortured existence, and nihilism.

It took much convincing for me to even get my boyfriend to TRY ON an old pair of my pants. He refuses to wear them, even though girl pants are quite flattering to the booty area. [Cry]

My boyfriend put on a pair of my pants by accident. The bad part was how he didn't even notice until I pointed it out to him.

Ah, if only I could turn him bisexual so easily.

I was really excited to buy a dining table, mostly because it means I now get to shop for table linens and nice matching tableware, etc.

I frequently get called "the gayest straight guy I know."

When I met my wife I was suprised by how easy it was to talk to her about sensitive topics. Ill spare you guys the details, as not everybody is on the same page, but sometimes I have to tell her that we can't talk about something in public. Its really wierd to be in that position.

My head dude (best guy friend) is pretty much game for any topic, most of my guy friends can talk about ANYTHING. But that might be more a product of guys not sticking around if they can't handle my frankness.
