Of course once they move to AZ. they get on the forum to complain about the dry desert heat.
This article was about a few women making random comments, it is not a reflection of all women's feelings. These women speak for themselves only, if this article is genuine. 12 women out of 3.5 billion is not an accurate representation of anything and posts like this serve to do nothing than further gender divides.

I think most people - men and women - probably get a kick out of it. It's the people that already think that women really think these things that can't see the humor in it. Sort of like that guy that had that crazy dating profile up - I can't remember all the outlandish things that he said but it was hysterical.

I identify with #3 as her response seems to be based on rebellion from oppressive intellectualism at the hands of her parents. I can personally relate with that as I rebelled against an oppressive Catholic upbringing. I am over a decade older than #3 and my rebellious attitude against Catholic expectations has cemented into unalterable values.

If we were to look at all of these women through the lens of rebellion their answers might make more sense; although #3 seemed to be the only one who provided some solid background information for her viewpoint.

Sorry, this is BS and made up BS at that. These people are not representative of what women want. I know a guy who likes feet, so if he responded about that in a poll, would it be fair to include it in a thread/article titled "what men secretly like?" Is it all or most men or just this one?

I said the same several pages back that I wondered if there was an agenda behind the article, cause it doesn't make women look good.

I'm sure someone could dig up the same article just flipped around with 12 men saying dumb**** things too.

The problem with articles and the Internet is that any azzhat can post things, and here we sit, getting ourselves all frothy over what is essentially drivel.....

I don't think it would make women look bad but to those who are always looking for a reason to bash them to begin with. The ones who make comments like.. " it doesn't surprise me".

Nothing wrong with preferences. They are just that, preferences.

No different than a guy like blondes, big boobs, hips or whatever. It is a matter of taste.

Eh, I've heard most of these from women anyway, so these aren't new to me. Except the ugly quote. I've not ever heard that one before.

The dude who posted after you would probably like to have a word with you.
