Is it harder for men to be around men than for women to be around women?
I'm not debating on whether women have it harder than men between sexes. That's a completely different issue. I just notice that there are some thigns women can do together that guys will never get away with. Like sleeping in the same bed. Or wearing each other's clothes. Granted, the last one would combine the man musk of two of us, and no woman can handle that much man musk, but my point remains. Us guys have a spirit of oneupsmanship and competition at the most trivial things that women don't. Maybe I don't have enough experience with groups of women, but at least in the teens, guys are trying to figure out who's gay amongst their friends. Most of us aren't homophobes, just phobic of being considered homo. Sleeping with as many women as possible is one of the cornerstones of manhood, and gays aren't really trying, making them less manly.
2 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoWill World of Warcraft thin out the numbers of eligible young men?
You know how after world war two, there weren't all that many young men in europe, so the survivors got all the chicks? Well since a good portion of WoW nerds cannot get a date, has this thinned out my competition? Granted, some of the people are just good nerds gone bad, but my point remains.

2 AnswersComics & Animation1 decade agoMy fellow white guys. Why do we think wraparound sunglasses look cool?
As more and more of my awkward bretheren don their shades in a failed attempt to look cool while adjusting to summer, I notice that we still wear those really oval wraparounds. I thought those died when the second matrix movie came out. Why do we insist upon looking like boorish failed action heroes from the 90's in our hideous sunglasses, as opposed to finding any other means of shading our eyes, be it with hat or reasonable sunglasses.
3 AnswersFashion & Accessories1 decade agodo we care too much about dogs and too little about other people?
We pay veternarians hundreds or thousands of dollars to heal cats and dogs while many people can't afford medicine and treatment. Some even condone their defacation on public property. You may know people who treat their dogs like children. A wise man once said if you see two beings, and one is carrying the other's ****, who's in charge? So why do we buy dog biscuits and doggy day care while being inconsiderate to our fellow man?
Dogs can be autonomous, and you can be nice and have a dog, your car just smells funny.
5 AnswersEtiquette1 decade agoIs it possible to ask a girl out while at work?
After getting a job at a grocery store, I have become curious as to my chances with female customers. My question is can and have you gotten a date from a customer while working retail. Is it so far fetched, or just sexual harrasment.
I am of high school age, and this grocery store is in a fairly wealthy neighborhood.
3 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agowould western society be improved if complimenting female anatomy were less taboo?
While we are uptight about sex in America, as we were founded on puritanical principals, I realize there are limits. Do these boundaries add or control the awkwardnesss that can occur between men and women? Men, in anonymity, will you corroborate this desire? Women, how offended would you be if complimented? Have you seen the 'Great New York Boobs' sketch in Chapelle Show?
4 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoIn a fight today, who would win, Mick Jagger or Iggy Pop?
Real Wild Child vs. Street Fighting Man. Bare Knuckled brawl. Two recovering heroin addicts in their 60's with tons of money: Hilarious.
8 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoDoes carnival cruise lines realize their them song has the following lyrics?
Iggy Pop's song on his heroin addiction "Lust for Life", which is the theme song to carnival cruise line commercials as well as professional dickwad Jim Rome's radio show. The name is pleasant, yes, but it has the lyrics "Well I'm just a modern guy/ of course I've had it in the ear before" "No more livin' on the sidewalk" and "Gonna beat my brains/ with liquor and drugs" "he's gonna do another striptease"
Really goes well with the images of little kids jumping into swimming pools. My question is how come nbdy listened to the whole song?
Also goes for Regan era republicans thinking Springsteen's "Born in the USA" would make a good theme song and New Jersey thinking "Born to Run" would work good as well 'oh my god, this song is about sex on a motorcycle!'
5 AnswersLyrics1 decade agoIs world of warcraft ruining our nerds?
Being in high school, the nerds are loud and proud. But I've noticed that since the popularity of world of warcraft, they just sit and talk about that. Rather than think of how they can realize the technologies from science fiction, or even discussing how stuff works, they just talk about their guild raids and how quickly they can get to level 70. So I'm just wondering, have you out there seen good nerds go bad as well, or is this a trend limited to my school.
6 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoIs there a book about the fall of boxing?
The fall of boxing is a topic I'd like to learn about from source more credible than blogs, forums, and sports shock jocks. I'd genuinely be surprised if there weren't considering America's romanticism with boxing yet the lack of popularity of the actual sport.

7 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoWhy do people think this site was ever 'clean'?
I was just wondering, because after all this is the internet. Even if you adopt a mile on the information super highway, still, half the internet is still porn. When someone posts a vulgar question, we get all defensive. Having been on both hypocritical ends of this thing, I don't understand why people have to insult here. It's the internet, and as Dave Chappelle illustrated, its an awful place. If you were really helping humanity, you wouldn't be here.
I understand the initial purpose of this site, but why even click on the stupid questions?
1 AnswerYahoo Answers1 decade agoYour guys' impressions on the GTA 4 trailer?
Having had the oppurtunity to sleep on it, I've come to realize this was a very egotistical move by rockstar, having us wait a month for a one minute commercial and then have people analyze it like the davinci code. Some complain that the russian dude is old, but I remind you that Tommy Vercetti was in his mid 30's at least after spending 15 years in jail. If the russian guy is the main character, it will mean rockstar is going in a more serious direction with the game, not too serious, but more serious than San Andreas. The map showed a full NY iwth Manhatan, Brooklyn and what appeared to be Coney Island. It didn't exclude countryside, Boston and Philly, but it didn't show anything either. I'm probably getting the game regardless, but let me know what you guys think of it.

3 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoWhy in splinter cell DA multiplayer why do spies try to kill all the mercs instead of downloading?
This really bothers me. The spies have special wristbands, but they have guns, genades, and little robots that can fly into vents and blow up. And the spies have wristbands. Yet some people's strategy involves trying to sneak up behind them and kill them by choking them. Which you have to do to each player 4 times before they kill you 4 times.
If you are unfamiliar with the game, go ahead and mock me for my nerdiness, I really don't give a rat's a$$
2 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agowhat are your favorite mistaken lyrics of all time?
Mine are from The Eagles "In the City"
When the girls of life ain't very pretty/ No one's there to catch you when you fall.
Instead of "nothing grows and life ain't very pretty". Slur it and you can understand. But if you can find something funnier, let me know.
15 AnswersMusic1 decade agoWhere do you think the next GTA will take place?
My guess is a Detroit/ Chicago midwest setting in the mid 90's when all the factories moved out, explaining the crime rate.
I'd like to see a Boston/Liberty City/ Philadelphia map with Liberty City as a penninsula off of a greater map. What do you think.
5 AnswersGames & Gear1 decade agoWho would win, 47 or Sam Fisher?
In a well lit room with no weapons or gadgets, purely hand to hand combat, who would win, Sam Fisher from Splinter Call, or Agent 47 from Hitman.
Allow me to repeat, Fisher is not hidden, and his side of the room has bettter graphics.
2 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoCan you top this conspiracy theory?
In 1994, Tupak didn't die. The government brought him back to life as the 6 million dollar gangsta. He was sent back to the 60's where he shot JFK with a magic bullet, poisoned Elvis, and taught Isaac Hayes how to make funk music in 71'. He also taught a young Osama Bin Laden the finer points of terrorism so he could work for the US in the 80's and destroy the world trade center in 30 years. His last mission was crashing the plane Lynyrd Skynyrd was on, which he did not survive.
Can you top this theory, I think I covered all my bases.
