    Fake Tan, less is more!
    Sometimes its on so heavily it's looks ridiculous and streaks

    A small amount carefully used can work however
    Maybe girls think if a small amount is good, a thick streaky layer is better??

    Some* men on Boards can hand out insults to the opposite sex like there's no tomorrow but when one poster puts up a list of very inoffensive, harmless personal experiences and you have a collective hernia.

    Men are perfect, nothing to see here, move along now........:pac:

    Women who get upset when you tell them their vagina smells like rotting fish.

    They infuriate you because they get upset? I hope you're not like that poster earlier on who likes to hand out slaps like they're sweets :eek:

    Here's one:

    *Some* female board members come into the Gentlemens Club section to twist the meaning of a thread into meaning something against women. Generally, trying to convince themselves that the thread was made by a 'stupid man' and they pop in to correct them.

    These (very few) posters have a huge anti-men issue and its astonishing how completely unaware they are of how irrational, illogical and down right scary their views are.

    When I first spotted this I got quite annoyed but I was reliably informed of the notoriety and background of these VERY few posters!

    How they have to get watching repeats of Two and a Half men, How I met Your Mother and Friends every single evening..and laugh their head of like it's the first time they've seen it.

    How they're so careless with their posessions then can't understand how they always get lost/broken.

    I may just be talking about one man here.

    Actually another one along these lines, snooping. IME women snoop in relationships more than men. Now men can be equally if not moreso insane jealous morons, but generally snoop much less. Of course many women will not see it as snooping. They may not even notice they're doing it. They make excuses for being distrusting snoops. "Oh I had a "gut" feeling and had to check. My gut is ALWAYS right" is a common one. To which many of her female mates will crow on about how they trust their gut completely and how it's ALWAYS right too. Many will support her in this snooping, cos you know it's not invasion of privacy when the ladies do it. 9 times outa 10 there's the self fulfilling prophecy going on too. Or results after teh fact. IE they'll snoop on 5 blokes, 2 will turn out to be pricks, therefore her "gut" is ALWAYS right and gives further backup to another excuse to snoop.

    I've caught a couple doing this. One woman early on I had the notion something was afoot. My "gut" as it were, though I decided I was being daft so ignored it. Now I mentioned the whole snooping is baaad M'kay thing to her horrified reply of "oh I agreeee. It's sooo bad". On the fourth date IIRC I went to the loo and came back and thought my phone was at a jaunty angle on the table. So when she was at the loo, I typed a new message in the text level of the phone. I go off to the loo a second time and come back to a face like an Easter Island statue chewing a wasp. Major touch of the Charlie chaplins, all picture no sound. What's wrong says I somewhat cruelly. NOTHING! says she unconvincingly. What was written on that text? "If you're reading this you're not terribly honest, trusting or trustworthy are you? There as no fifth date. :D

    I thought you were a defender of the female use of "the gut" and you were trying that tactic yourself?

    I caught my ex snooping through my phone. Just sayin' like.

    Perhaps you have more experience with women snooping as you're a male whose gone out with women?

    Maybe they all just drive me crazy cos I've been forced to watch them every day for the past 2.5 years.

    When girls are in a mood and you ask, "hey, what's wrong" and they say "nothing" when clearly something is wrong so you just leave it, half an hour later you get from them "you never ask what's wrong" - "I did" - "but you didn't ask again" and us guys are there just thinking to ourselves, well fcuk this, I asked, didn't get an answer, so I don't care any more. :cool:

    What pisses me off about boys and girls - how much they bicker.

    I'll talk to a lady / woman any day and we usually wind up complaining about the kids. I wonder why ?:rolleyes: [sniffs and walks off...no looking at my arse as I leave].

    Surely that is not right? Every second person has an iphone or some sort of smart phone!! Unless your friends are middle aged? They tend to stick with phones from the late '90's! haha

    Is early 30s middle-aged to you?

    I don't know one female with an iphone. They're expensive to run here (Spain) and we don't earn much. If I could afford one, I'd probably get one. Male friends willing to sacrifice starving to death or not paying bills to get one. Men seem to be more obsessed with technology generally.

    I just found another thing that infuriates me about the opposite sex :p

    Men seem to do this more often then women on boards.ie in threads like this, or in the ladies lounge.

    Because they are bad mothers if they dont buy it.
