I highly doubt it. I just haven't been to a club in a while...not that any of you have either !

clubs are lame.
it's all about pubbing, not clubbing :D

beers cheaper too and they have billiards and darts

oh yeah skirts and midriffs are fine. long as the women looks good.

I prefer long hair myself. i really dont care how its styled. Makeup should be kept to a minimum! i hate it when women have so much that when you kiss them thats all you get.

How about

"Get over yourself and quit attention whoring around here"

If those are the things you worry about on a daily basis, then you really have a sad life.

NOPE, wrong. Guys are faster. Wanna get naked and race to see who's finished dressing first?

if by "equivalent amount of time to get ready" you mean that 30 minutes = 2 hours then yes, men and women take an equivalent amount of time to get ready.

yeah seriously, what a crock of sh1t! i have to be at work at 8, it is 5 minutes away, and i wake up at 7:45 to get ready. I shower, brush my teeth, eat, dress nicely for a professional workplace, and make it there on time. Bullsh1t if any woman claims to have that kind of speed.

edit: i know all of those things are expected to be done on a daily basis lol, but i was just covering all of the angles for people who will argue against it.

oh yeah, and i feed my dog, walk him around outside for a few seconds, and on the way out the door i chase the cats to give them their morning thrill. its an eventful morning, which takes place in less than 10 minutes.

i shower in typically 45 seconds to a minute and wash my hair and every crack/crevice ;) thoroughly enough to keep a girlfriend and a job. thanks, ill pay myself on the back thanks very much, have a nice day "xmellyiloveattentionx"

2nd edit (for clarity): i shave every 2 days, so on those days my showers are almost 2 minutes. if you think about what it takes time to do in the shower, the longest part is washing your hair which should take anywhere from 15-20 seconds if you are a guy with a non-hippie haircut. to rub soap all over your body and wash it off takes no time at all. i dont really get all that dry before i put my clothes on (unless its cold, then this whole process slows down). so there is some more clarification. if something doesnt make sense, well im sorry lol, but i wake up at 7:45, get it all done, get to work on time and thats my daily routine! oh, and my breakfast is usually poptarts or an ego (in the toaster, play with the doggy, come back and its done).

MY god my wife takes like 2 hours to get ready. Its soo annoying.

All i have to do is shower (about 5 minutes), shave (onother 5 minutes) find something clean to wear (again about 5 minutes), brush my teeth and get dressed. takes me ~20 minutes to get ready to go anywhere. Meanwhile my wife is still trying to figure out what undies go with what bra. sigh women!

THEN she gets mad at me because i get on the computer or turn on the TV! she aint even ready and she is yelling about me being on the computer or TV WTH! im ready and you are not! ahhhh!

Hold on, since it takes you 5 minutes to get to work, you can do all that in 10 minutes? Maybe if you eat in the car on the way to work or something.

You know, it pisses me off when retarded males think a female is attention whoring and/or only cares about her appearance because she posts a thread. ANY THREAD. I could have posted that I think I saw a UFO --> attention whore. Or that I don't know what hot deal I should go for --> attention whore. Maybe wondering what jobs other ATers have --> attention whore. ETC ETC. What is it with all the women-bashing around here? And I notice it comes from the not-so-liked members. A few assholes ruin the fun.

If you can't see the parody in that I am poking fun at my gender and trying to lighten things up around here (because, you know, I'm sure we're all loving those YAGT, homework, and so-and-so is on some stupid show tonight threads) then kudos, for you are truly fvcktards.
