Men are from Strangeways, women are from Safeway
Men and women are different. You don’t even have to undress them to notice that. In fact, there’s a whole industry, worth millions of dollars a year, spouting incoherent and most often rather unhelpful blather about these differences.
Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Oh, really? Meet Jane, she’s from the black hole of Calcutta; meet Dick, he’s from the Planet of the Apes.
Yawn, yawn, triple yawn.
Still, it is safe to say that men and women would not make perfect identical twins in any nativity play. For instance,
A New York State University team quizzed over 1,000 students, finding women place a big emphasis on kissing.
They use kissing as a way of assessing the recipient as a potential partner, and later to maintain intimacy and to check the status of a relationship.
But men placed less importance on it, using it to increase the likelihood of sex, Evolutionary Psychology reported.
But kissing was more important as a bonding mechanism to women.
While this would make for all kinds of interesting parlour games, like ‘Would you kiss this man?‘ it would indeed seem to be true that quite a number of men have bonding issues – and some more than others:
The bride might have been tipped off on the honeymoon: The newlyweds went to the Smoky Mountains, where they slept in separate tents.
Her complaint, spelled out in court testimony, led a state appeals court Friday to annul the Jandas’ sexless marriage. The decision means the husband, a Czech citizen, could lose his permanent resident status under U.S. immigration laws and be deported.
Still, you could say that our honeylessmooning Czech friend at least gave it a half-hearted go. Other men seem quite happy to – let’s say – internalise this quest for the feminine principle:
Employees of Kohl’s department store in Joplin were surprised to find a man dressed in women’s undergarments walking about the store Thursday morning when they arrived for work.
“Actually, he was wearing a pink camisole and some pink women’s underwear,” Cpl. Chuck Niess of the Joplin Police Department said of a 52-year-old homeless man arrested on suspicion of burglary and spending some portion of the night inside the store at 301 S. Geneva Ave.
A responding police officer discovered the man asleep under a blanket at the back of the store, he said.
The man was still wearing the pink negligee and panties.
There was reason to believe the suspect had tried on a number of the store’s undergarments for women. Nine pair of panties and four bras were found in a pile near where he was sleeping, Niess said.
He said the undergarments — worth a total of $375 — were deemed no longer salable by Kohl’s. The suspect’s own clothes had not been found inside the store by the time he was arrested and taken to Joplin City Jail, he said.
Others though are thoroughly confused. They would love to be able to go on any honeymoon, for love, or for sex or just for show – but they seem to be doomed to be forever stuck in the dress rehearsal fase of things…:
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — A man was arrested after a government agent allegedly found him in an office building restroom lying next to an inflatable, anatomically correct doll with his pants down. Craig S. McCullough, 47, was charged Wednesday with indecent exposure, a misdemeanor.
McCullough’s criminal record includes a 2004 conviction for burglarizing Just For Me bridal boutique. Shortly after the burglary, police officers found McCullough in a nearby alley, carrying a mannequin wearing a bridal dress.
