For the same reason dogs piss in certain spots when you take them for a walk: theyre marking their territory. PDA let's everyone know you're taken and off the market, it's a variation of animals in the wild attacking others of the same species when they go near their mate. I have a tit-for-tat agreement with the girlfriend. For every one minute I hold her hand in public, that minute must be reciprocated with her hand on my cock later on. Spoiler Moral of the story? We dont hold hands much
It's not about holding hands so much and that lovey shit. It's about, if I want to touch my girl in public, like --- in a friendly way here, not grab her ass or fondle her tits or something like that. Well if I want to do that, why the fuck not? I don't want my actions limited based on the almighty judgments and perceptions of the strangers on the fucking train.
You misheard me. I said NOT like grabbing tits or anything agregious. Fuck, when I went out with my last girlfriend, I think I would have more physical contact with my male friends, like horsing around, shit like that, than with her. I'm talking the most innoculous, innocent shit here imaginable. I would barely even notice, except that she was so pissy about it. When we were alone, or in a bedroom? She would lean against my legs, shit like that. Natural touching was no problem. ANYTHING, really. She liked it just as well. It was just the 'scary public' situations.
My insecure self thought that immediately. But that wasn't it. She'd constantly be inviting me to things and seeing her friends as her boyfriend, and etc etc. I even called her on it too. It was just some mental problem with touching in public. Wasn't the first girl either.
I'm super physical...you can immediately place how I regard a person, and how important a person is to me, by whether or not I allow them to touch me. Strangers are not allowed to touch me. Randoms who come into the gym, I don't even like shaking hands...it's not personal, it's just that I've had my space forcibly violated so many times that I am hyper-aware of my bubble. Friends are allowed in the bubble, but not overly touch-y. I'll give hugs or fanny pats or whatever. But with My Guy? That's different. I'm a very tactile person - hand on the forearm, hand in the pocket, handholding, kisses on the neck when we're reading, whatever. In public, a fanny pat, full hug, hand hold, little kiss on the nose (him to me, I can't reach his nose), him smacking my ass - those things are going to happen, or I start to feel a little lost. My expression and recognition of love is a physical, tactile thing. Nothing obnoxious, or gross, though.
It is a huge turn off, to me anyway. I prefer coherent conversation and full memory of getting frisky...
A huge sigh of relief was just breathed by myself and all the other male board members besides the recovered/recovering alcoholics.
Ladies, do you think it's an unfair stereotype when men complain you take too long getting ready? It's never been much of an issue in my life, but I know guys who have dated girls that would spend more time getting ready to go out than they actually would spend out. Hours. I can't speak for other guys, but I usually can get ready in less than thirty minutes. That's from Before Shower to Out The Door, but I don't know the average. I know just by using my eyes that more guys spend a LOT more time getting ready to go out nowadays than they ought to. Thoughts?
I think there is some truth to it, let's face it, women have more "maintenance" stuff to take care of (putting on makeup, blowdrying hair, etc). If I am going out - out and want to look nice, then I will put some extra time in. However, I will not keep people going while I am getting ready, if we are supposed to be there at 7, I will be there at 7. But if somebody wants to run out and grab breakfast and I am still hanging in my pajamas, I can be out the door in just a few minutes, enough time to change clothes, throw on minimal makeup and brush my teeth. All in all, I think it depends on the person. There are things that I do much more efficiently than my husband. I can shower in 5 minutes, it somehow takes him 20. I can shave my legs in about half the time it takes him to shave his face. He just moves more slowly and methodically than I do. On average though, for an every day thing, I would say we both can get it done in 30 minutes. Oh, and regarding the male drunk ramblings courtesy of Solaris, no, not attractive. Let's turn the tables, we have female members that tend to do the same thing. Plus we have been out and all heard the high pitched OMG I AM SOOOO DRUNK cry. Attractive? Or just looking at them like they are easy prey?
Plus plausible deniability. If you glom onto random passersby, knock shit over and are in general a sloppy mess, people will rightly judge you for being kind of a dick. However, if you croon how drunk you are beforehand, you can titter "oh, damn you tequila!" later, while taking basically no responsibility for your actions. Of course, I'll still think you're a dick. I bet there something like an 80%+ correlation between girls who don't take responsibility for anything and girls who loudly proclaim their drunkenness. That's being generous. Of course, it's the same for guys. People want to be able to rub their genitals against other genitals without being shamed, and loudly being "drunk" is an obvious way of getting the license.
Mr P takes longer than me to get ready, he's quite fastidious about his appearance and won't leave home looking a mess. I think it may be related to his limp, people stare all the time. It doesn't help that you can see where on his face he was beaten with a bat(barely, but there is definitely a dent there). I am usually quick. Twenty minutes and I am good. I announce that I am baked/drunk/whatever my malfunction is as a warning. Almost a "Caution: I probably won't make sense or be more blunt than usual" kind of notice. I have a question for both men and women. Do you like it when the opposite sex is blunt, outgoing and straight forward? Or does the shy girl/guy have more appeal? Why?
