I call shens on that. No way you can go that long with somebody and not fart in front of them. You talk about comfort levels, but you can't even be yourself in front of your fiancee? So shens...

I may have done accidentally but never on purpose. I leave the room and go to the lavatory

Squat 405 then get back to you? So you pick out some random arbitrary achievement in your life that you're super proud of and use that? lmao....I could do that too, but I'm not calling people nubs on the internet or acting like a teenager either. Congrats tough guy!

rawr I am tough! That or I just don't have to wear a suit and think it's stupid for any non customer facing job to require anyone to dress up just because.

Really, 405 isn't a big deal either :)

If it wasn't, you wouldn't have ended your 3rd-4th troll post of this thread with 'Square 405 and get back to me'. Nice 2-faced approach though, whatever helps your argument!

No really, it's just something that I'd be willing to bet you and most others here couldn't do. It was more of a response to 'get outside' or whatever you said. Now if you did 405 x 5 sets x 5 reps (raw) that would be more impressive, but in the grand scheme of things 405x1 is an intermediate squat. Not 2 faced at all, just truthful :) Get back in your suit...

Not sure why you think most people give a shit about being able to do that, but ok, cya later!

Given the choice between having a multitude of clothes and menstruation or having no menstruation and being able to urinate standing up while wearing dull clothes every day, I'd stick with the male option. But it's a personal preference, I do love women, The one thing I think women have over men is interpersonal relationships. Straight men are crap at friendships. I can't even tell my best friend I love him without being made to feel gay... :(

I have a few really close friends and I've never felt any desire to tell any of them that. I enjoy hanging out with them and we laugh a lot...oh man, even that sounds gay.

I don't even tell female friends that I love them. It would just seem awkward to me to say that to someone who I wasn't romantically involved with or a member of my immediate family.

That's fair enough, but my point is that gay people and women (in my experience) are very comfortable telling each other how they feel, and it makes for a more intimate friendship, being truly honest with each other without this awkwardness is amazing.

So, you'll suck a friend off and then turn around and sleep with his girlfriend?

Would I? That doesn't sound like me... :hmm:

Another thread derailed by HAL9000. How many is that now?

See, that's just it...it would be awkward. I've only said I love you to a couple men in my entire life. My Dad, my son, and my brother...I think I said it to my brother, I'm not 100% on that, hell, I'm not even 50% on that. I don't know that I've ever even thought about this in regards to my friends though. I guess I could say that I love them in a brotherly way but I really feel no need to verbalize it. I just can't imagine saying "I love you" to a friend of mine, nor would they want me to. It's just the way of things.

And that's my point, with straight men it is awkward, that's the problem, I'm not saying everyone should tell their male friends they love them, because it would be awkward, what I'm saying is that everyone should be able to without feeling awkward.

You're assuming that I even want to.

Look, it's an interesting topic and it made me think about my friendships and how important my friends are to me but even after doing that I still have no desire to tell my best friends that I love them.

I doubt you do, you haven't experienced it and thus don't know what you're missing, the same as I don't want to try drugs.

You seem to be operating under the false assumption that verbal communication is the superior way to communicate the idea of love. Love is best shown through actions, regardless of who is receiving it.

Exactly, if I want to express my love for my friends I do so with a soft passionate kiss on the lips. :awe:

Edit-I keed...I keed!

I'm operating under the assumption that verbal and actions as communicating love is superior to just actions. I'm also operating under the assumption that a relationship without discomfort is greater than one where you feel awkward and discomfort when being together.

But what do these words provide which is superior to the actions that love inspire?

I didn't say it was superior to action, I said that both is better than one. Being able to be completely open and honest in a relationship makes a better more intimate relationship.
