  many of us still have jw family still very much held within the congregation.

  personally, i love my family but they do have this uncanny ability at times to absolutely drive me nuts in sheer exasperation.

  after a short lived camping trip to dirty lake erie with mon cheri, complete with odd looking bugs, rednecks in banana-slings*, tobacco picking immigrants and several varieties of undercooked meat, i have found myself considering a permanent move to the bathroom.

  yes folks, i have found myself with a bad case of the skitters.

  i missed the jwc stuff that dreams are made of, and i am back, with an upset, angry, and burning undercarriage.

  Compliments For The Ladies, A Gentleman's Task?

  by invisible in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  celtic mark is often seen to be swimming out of his depth when it comes to the psychological makeup of women.

  frankly, they puzzle me, quite irksome creatures, endearing yes, but still ruddy irksome, flummox me a tad they do, so in sagitaurian putting your foot in it style, i am asking you for your advice.. when it comes to the ladies, what attitude is it specifically in a guy that you enjoy seeing displayed towards you?

  what actions on the guys behalf make you smile or laugh or shriek out in utter exasperation at our endeavours to win over your favour?

  What attitude do I enjoy seeing? Thoughtfullness. This goes for anyone not just men. People who value the little things, and express this enjoyment in small things, and share those small things with others constantly amaze me and give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

  Actions? Again ties into thoughtfullness. Sending an e-mail about nothing in particular, just to say I am thinking of you, or a post-it note with the same sentiments. Any time a guy is willing to be a goofball to just try and make me laugh I will feel gratitude toward the effort. Exasperation comes when you try to impress me with either manly bar fight stories, how much money you make, how many women you banged, what kind of car you drive, how much you can bench press etc. BORING! Exasperation comes when you try to alter how I behave, and criticise what I do. I don't do that to you, I would respect the same in return. More exasperation comes when after we have had a lovely evening, and I tell you so, you keep asking me if I am having a good time, or constantly need to be assured of the status of our relationship. Also just as annoying is being told how all women are psycho, and constantly talking about your ex. No one is free from blame in a relationship, she probably thinks you are just as psyho.

  Genuine compliments are ALWAYS appreciated. Do I think your minds are only on the one thing, let's not kid ourselves, they ususually are, and just a little hint, ours usually are too. But you can easily fake us out if you compliment something non-physical, like wit, intelligence, laugh, etc. But if you tell us what a great body we have, eyes, boobs, whatever--we tend to think that's ALL you value us for.

  All I ask is to be treated with respect. I think that goes for anyone. And both genders need some work in that respect.

  And how might we/I do this more often, so that we may act naturally with more respect and affection towards you?

  You should ALWAYS behave naturally--well as much as possible, and if respect and affection are not natural for you--well then don't fake it! You will be found out eventually, and besides, if that's not a behavioral trait of yours, then why bother. Women need to accept men for what they are, just as men need to do the same on behalf of women. The genders are built and wired differently. Deal.

  I am going to have to agree with minimus on this one.

  My JW family sucks ass, just as do a lot of other families with high religious standards, hell even families with no professed faith at all, are subject to the same feelings, and behavior.

  Hypocrisy is sadly a large part of the human condition, we are very good at picking and choosing what we wish to adhere to. Every person who has ever taken a breath on this planet has been a hypocrite at one time or another, regardless of if they meant to be or not.

  I used to date a BMX dude, he was friends with Jay Miron, and I got to meet TJ Lavin once, kind of a punk, but for the most part the guys are so fun to hang out with!

  So even tho I broke up with him ages ago, I still get sucked into the X GAMES, they are so fun to watch.

  ah ha!!

  now that i got your attention.... well, oprah hasn't yet awarded $50,000 to silent lambs, but she very well could if enough of us "nominate" silentlambs (bill/sheila/joe/barbara, et al) for oprah's "use your life award.

  " any regular oprah-watchers will know what i'm referring to; that during the season, she presents various individuals (on monday's show each week) with this award for their service to their cause (along with the big fat check)... .
