You're exactly right, as usual.
You realize you're going to get yourself thrown out of the Women's club for dispensing womanly secrets, don't you?

Riddle me this...
Why are women so comfortable with playing silly little deceptive mind games? Why are they so comfortable with little white lies?
My wife and I talked about this once till she got pissed off.
I told her it's because women are trained to deceive from the moment they are introduced to makeup. 🙂

I'm not sure what you mean by mind games and little white lies. We aren't trained to deceive, at least not most of us. But we are trained to consider factors that you guys would dismiss as unimportant.

See, that's what my wife said.
She doesn't think that donning makeup even smacks of dishonesty.
She doesn't think that fishing for compliments is a mind game, or deceptive.
There's lots more where that comes from, but you already know it. 🙂

Oh, one more thing...
The little thing that played out up at the top of the thread, "She just wants to know if he wants her". To me, that's just plain wrong.
It's as much akin to cheating as if she'd stuck her toes in her hoop earrings and begged him to fvck her.
My wife would strongly disagree with that statement.

LOL - you have a way with a phrase. I'll never look at hoop earrings the same way again. :laugh:

We don't wear makeup or clothes for guys, we wear them for other women. It's a competition thing. But we still need you guys to tell us that it's working, because another woman would never admit it. Unless she knows she's doing it better.

Fishing for compliments is an ego trip - she wants to know that he finds her attractive enough to think about doing her. We know you guys think about sex every 7 seconds - if we can get you to devote one of those seconds to us, we're very flattered. That doesn't mean we want you to do anything about it.

It must be absolutely exhausting to be a woman. 🙂

I know I told my wife no less than 10 times today "that's not your problem, leave it alone, you have plenty of your own stuff to worry about".
The last 7 or 8 times, I just used "Not your problem, baby".
To each one I got an "I know, but..."
To each "I know, but..." I responded with "You're right, but it's STILL not your problem".

Couple that with the constant woman/woman competition that goes absolutely nowhere, hormonal upsurges, the telephone, and the neverending scheming involved in avoiding sex (except for the "special" two days a month), it's a wonder they ever get anything done.
 
I have found the most effective way to raise a girl's interest level is to not play the compliment game. The hotter they are, the better this works. If everyone else tells her how great her ass looks...she'll want to know why you aren't.

Note: This works less well if you are ugly as sin...

LOL - yes it is. That's why we need men - to remind us what's *really* important. 🙂

From a rating scale of 1-10, if they are:
5 and below - yes ("no, you don't look fat at all")
6-8 - playful jab ("it doesn't make you look that fat")
9-10 - right cross that they never see coming ("dude, gym, STAT").

they all love it.

For a second I was going to ask, but I've thought the better of it. 😉

Good thing you said you're married, 'cause for a moment there I thought you're gay. Although a lot of married men are closet pole polishers...

How are you still here?

I was just talking with a girl from work and we somehow started talking about Eva Longoria. Well the girl proceeded to talk about how incredible Eva looked and how skinny she is and how perfect...blah blah blah. Keep in mind this girl MIGHT be a size 2, has an incredible figure and is talking about how she eats all the time and that is why she'll never look good. I decided to be an ass and not bite. So she kind of just looked at me, conversation turned awkard and I left.

Sometimes they annoy me.

there's a pic of webcammie taking a nap on top of a table during work. pretty good figure.
 
Yeah, I bite. This one chick I carpooled with for a few months at my last job always did that...she would also always grab my arm and hold onto it when we went out during our lunch break...and also talk about how everyone says we should go out...

I shoulda tapped that.
 
I don't mind massaging their egos. Why, just today our secretary was whining about being too fat. I said, "Hey, I LIKE fat girls!" Probably gave her a nice boost...
 
deliver complements that can benefit you too....it's a two way street.

'how firm are they?'

'flab? I'd have to feel it to believe it'

You need to deliver things to get you some contact. That is if she is really fishing...if she is just teasing you....

When a chick is really hard on themselves:
'I bet you look great naked, doubt I'd ever get a chance to see you like that...but man I bet you'd be smoking'

You'd be surprised the chicks that want to try to impress 😉

 
I usually make people fishing for compliments feel stupid or turn it into a joke.

For instance, the office hottie says "Isn't it nice having someone pretty in the office?"

I reply "Oh, you noticed Dave too, have you?"

Comedy results.

and making the office hottie think you are gay gets you women?

Either she is trying to tease you and you are bitter about it, or a bald kitty went so fast over your head you missed it.

If I like the girl I'll play it cool. Make some comment or whatever comes in to my head. But I won't put a girl down if she is nice.
