11/16 How can "not feeling sexy" be a reason for a woman not to have
sex? Doesn't the fact that someone wants to have sex with her
make her, by definition, sexy to that person?
\_ Welcome to the world of women. They're wired differently. I
start believing that they are somehow related, species-wise, to
managers, who are also strangely circuited. Women don't seem to
want/like sex at all (except for yermom.) Valid excuses for not
having sex with you, beside the obvious (fat bastard, smell bad,
and the same goes for you) include time of month, feeling
unattractive for whatever reason, lights on, lights off, it's
Tuesday, that thing you said when talking to Bob & Vicky three
years back, it was in January, yes you know the one, solar flares,
and the general state of the world. This is a species that may
have a PhD in astrophysics and her own company, but still gets off
reading trashy gossip mags at the gym. Get used to it, you can't
win. As a guy, you are immediately placed in the category of
people whose thought processes do not extend beyond "whoa, a pulse,
maybe she'll sleep with me." They don't give us more credit than
that. Best thing to do is just accept it, or ignore them. -John
\_ Most women enjoy sex. You must be a crappy lover.
\_ Beyond any doubt. They're still bizarre. -John
\_ I dispute this. Most women enjoy sex at some point, but
not most of the time. I think that as a relationship
matures they don't enjoy sex like they did in the
beginning. This is true of men, too, but men like sex
so much that they still want to have it. Women would
rather paint their nails, read a magazine, or impale
themselves on sharp hooks.
\_ Too true. Sex gets boring after a while. Then
the relationship gets boring. Then it goes down
the shitter and you start looking elsewhere.
I guess the point is is to find someone you can
delude yourself to be interested in enough for
a long enough period of time that you just don't
give a crap about it anymore and just live with it.
Sometimes a relationship is kind of like having a
roommate that you fuck on occassion. That's just
life, people get used to each other after a while.
\_ I'm sorry you are such a bad lay.
\_ Said the soda virgin.
\_ I'm sure you've been in lots of long-term
relationships. If you have you would know. If
you're a playboy then of course you think women
enjoy sex, because you're not around long enough
for it to matter. I could go find lots of single
women to fuck, but that doesn't change the fact
that women overall just aren't that into sex beyond
the courting stage.
\_ there's a huge difference between 'not being into
sex' and 'not being AS into sex'. I've met, known,
and been friends with many women that have very
aggressive libidos. Most I've spoken to at length
express great enjoyment of sex...when their lover
has at least a modicum of skill. Sadly, this isn't
a skill that guys typically seem willing to learn, or
are just too prideful or embarrassed to admit they're
lacking. women don't generally hit the big O easily,
and many rarely can get there with just wham-bam
penetrative vaginal intercourse. put the pride aside
and you'll be a much better lover in the long run.
\_ Of course there are nymphomaniacs that can't
get enough sex. I have met some of these.
However, most women just aren't into sex
beyond procreation after the novelty wears
off. I'm not looking for extremes, but
commenting on the average.
\_ Nah man, I mean, I've never actually HAD
sex, but I've got all these videos that
show that women all love lots of sex, and
always reach the big O! It must be you.
\_ I'm not talking about nymphomaniacs or
extremes. As for 'most women not being into
sex etc' -- I'm not convinced it's a problem
with women in general (or an issue that can
be attributed to them). Do you really equate
'aggressive' with 'nymphomaniac'?
\_ I have been in three long-term (> 18 month)
relationships, and in all three cases the
woman was more interested in sex by the end
than she was at the beginning.
\_ Wow. 18 whole months. I find this
anecdote hard to believe, frankly, but
perhaps you attract women who can only
get off with people they know well.
"Hypoactive sexual desire disorder involves
little or no interest in any type of sexual
activity. As many as 50% of patients who
come to sexuality clinics for help complain
of hypoactive sexual desire, and most of
these are female. Approximately 22% of
women and 5% of men suffer from this
disorder. Prevalence of female arousal
disorders is hard to estimate as many women
do not consider absence of arousal to be a
problem. [Editor's note: That is, they see
it as normal.]
\_ What's your source? (I'm assuming that
your numbers are based in some sort of
clinical study and not wishful thinking).
\_ 22% is one in five. Meet more women.
\_ Seriously. The poor guy clearly has
has some bitter and painful
experiences with women -- sadly he
seems really insistent on blaming his
inadequacies on women.
\_ 22% are so sick as to not be
interested in sex AT ALL. That
does not mean the other 78% are
out there fucking like rabbits.
Meanwhile, only 5% of men have
this problem. Almost all men like
sex, while lots of women do not.
It doesn't take a PhD to figure that
out. I have had women tell me
that they do not care if they
ever have sex again (I was a
friend and not their partner).
You think a man says that?!
\_Isn't masterbation better than
having sex with an unattractive
partner, or does motivation and
having the lights off make up
for it? (I am the poster below!)
\_ Not feeling sexy may be a euphemism for a variety of things.
\_ Your argument is based on the assumption that women are logical.
\_ or that men are.
\_ Try to ease off the pressure, turn up the romance, and just take it
easy. It may take time, but the rewards are worth it.
\_How many of you are dating somebody unattractive but you figure
when the lights are off, it's not that hard to forget, unless
they smell or are really heavy and it is better than masterbation?
This is a serious question. I can't understand how so many really
unattractive people are in relationships. I would throw up before
having sex with a lot of these people. Thanx in advance for
feedback!
\_ I guess the 'sad' answer is you get use to them after a while,
and then you might actually develop feelings for them, and
after which appearance is probably less important. Think
about it this way, do you ever cared how your mom/dad looked?
But you might care a lot of something were to happen to them.
Same thing, they may not be the best eye candy, but once
you become attached to them and have real feelings, those
things are less important...
\_Unattractive people can be good friends. I just dont think
about them in "that way." The feelings can come over time
but initially aren't you disgusted when you kiss them or
see them naked? Or is everything different with the lights
off? Thanx!
\_ What I noticed is that sometimes after getting to know girls
whom I find very attractive at first, their personality
starts showing through and affects my perception of
their physical beauty , and I would start thinking,
"huh? how come I find this girl attractive back then?"
And w00t! My beautiful, kind, and hardworking dream
girl was really sweet to me today! I am in heaven!
\_ She said "Hi!", huh? |

12/16 Another report showed housing starts unexpectedly plummeted 13.1
percent last month, the biggest dive since a 17 percent tumble in
January 1994, as groundbreaking activity fell sharply across the nation.
Housing starts slid to an annual rate of 1.771 million units in
November from an upwardly revised 2.039 million clip a month earlier,
the Commerce Department said.
Economists had expected starts to ease only slightly and some saw
the report as a sign of brewing trouble for the long high-flying
U.S. housing sector.
"The housing market is finally beginning to cool off. This is the
beginning of the end," said David Wyss, chief economist for
Standard & Poor's. "The housing number is scary." (Additional
reporting by Alister Bull in Washington and Pedro Nicolaci da
Costa in New York)
\_ Why do you hate America?
\_ Am I naive to think that this is just the price rising enough to
get closer to the point that supply and demand actually meet?
\_ Yes, because housing has always tracked inflation. When housing
tracks 10X inflation you know you're in a bubble.
