Men and Woman can you show your maturity by say something genuinely nice about the opposite gender?

No crude or degrading jokes and nothing sexist. Just honest kindness about your fellow human.

From what ive seen on the board im beginning to wonder.

Update:

Women are strong capable human beings who deserve every bit the respect and equal rights as any man. You can do anything we can. I thank you women for going Thur the pain of child birth to keep the species alive.and prospering. If i have ever wrong any women than i apologize and would like to see the two genders grow as equal partners in the human race. Ok im probable sucking but I hope it doesn't sound to cheesy.

Update 2:

This is my first question ever on the board. I just see so much angry words I want both sides to see we can be friends not rivals. If this offended anyone I apologize. I just don't like people to rant at each other.

    Women are responsible for alot of who i am today. Think, guys mostly dress, act, talk etc because they want women to like them. So a large chunk of the way i am is due to the fact that somewhere down the road i decided to do something differently because of women. Thanks :) lol

    One of my classes in high school was full of bullies who tormented me every day. I remember one day when another guy and I had to give a presentation in front of the class. Throughout the presentation, there was a running commentary from the bullies, throwing insults at me (and the teacher did nothing.) I remember one girl in the class standing up for me. She didn't do it by dramatically confronting the bullies or anything like that, but she said some stuff about how they shouldn't act that way. It wasn't a big deal, just one of the thousands of little experiences that constitute high school. But it was a nice gesture of her to stand up for the guy who was constantly ostracized and bullied, and I still remember it years later.

    I chose not to share a story from adulthood because doing so might compromise my online anonymity.

    I'm against feminism/chivalry/female privilege, but I certainly don't see the whole female gender as the enemy.

    I love a good man, Like my husband, He is kind hearted and strong and man enought to fill my needs no matter what they might be at the time. He isn't a wimp and isn't afraid to say no. He stands tall and confident. and helps me out through emotional issues by using basic man logic. a day later i'll get it!

    He is a man, strong sensitive loving and caring. hope I can make him a father sooner than later!

    Okay that's me sharing some love i have for my loving supporting husband.

    All men have a strength to them a level of leader ship most women also have but the way the man carries and presents it is very very very attractive!

    Women have always been there for others when we men have not. Ther compassion stretches further than any man I know and that compassion has saved lives through-out all of history. You truly are capable of anything no matter what anybody says.

    I have enunciated the sentiment prior to this, but I LOVE men. Most of my friends happen to be men and I love them dearly.

    Both men and women are so wonderful in so many ways...but alas, the bad ones on both sides of the equation, color the majority of the class with dishonor.

    The men in my life are strong, sensitive, loving, all-man and are quite confident in their masculinity, very intelligent and mature...and some of them like I, have experienced and have seen too much in this life...far too much...

    And in a real sense, we need each other.

    Actually no - because I truly regard men and women as equals, I can't come up with something that's both true and nice to say about either gender that applies to all its members and distinguishes it from the other gender. (I could speak in generalities, like commenting pleasantly on women's appearance or the strength of men, but even physical distinctions not having to do directly with biology would be subject to exceptions.)

    (This kind of question is actually a good way to bait people to reveal their prejudices - asking people to write, for instance, what they like about black people, or Jews, or some other highly stereotyped group, can be an interesting experiment to see how people will respond to invitations to describe their stereotypes in non-confrontational ways. Non-prejudiced people will be genuinely puzzled by the question, or will perhaps offer specific compliments about individuals they know - whereas others will happily respond with positive stereotypes.)

    What about them? Men aren't all the same. I love my male friends, family and boyfriend, but they all have different qualities that make them who they are, and they aren't qualities that are shared by all men.

    Women are soft, smell good, and I love their hair.

    I genuinely love the opposite gender, and that's a true story.

    I like how when they get a surprise gift or their favorite meal cooked for them, they're so happy and they look like little boys again.
