He can choke a dude unconscious in seconds, but also happily watch a chick flick and has no problem expressing his mushy-gushy feelings or getting sentimental. That's the cool thing about nuances and layers. Men and women have them.

My husband always says he is the chick in this relationship. And kinda like your husband, he can do all the manly stuff, he was a Survival Instructor, awards for marksmanship, and I don't know what you call it.... but he just uses all these pressure points in the dojo (sp?) and drops people.....

I LIKE the muddling of the gender roles, I find it insane sexy. I know my husband likes that I have the strong and kinda rough side, and then clean up and be all girly or whatever.

Upthread someone said don't compete with your man..... that wouldn't work with us, we are competitive, not what I would consider unhealthy, and we don't become jerks win or lose....

All this is exactly why you can't say what it takes to make the other gender happy.

This topic males me laugh because it seems to only be applicable to the most basic types of males and females..... none of which are even remotely interesting.
I smell butthurt.

Awwww...that's so cool - it's the equivalent of a woman who "loves to wear jeans but can clean up and look great in a little black dress and heels"!...well, maybe it's a little deeper than that.

Is that from "Foundation of Feminism 101"? Because they were doing understanding and pleasing men for so long they are no longer required to do so? They are on a permanent strike?

Are you sure? Do you think he tells his friends that he really enjoys "physical intimacy"?

Do you think that what he tells his friends he enjoys is more true, than what he tells and demonstrates in his actions, to his wife/girlfriend/lover...?

I don't know about you dude, but if I were a chick, or a person of color, I'd be pretty angry at society too. Heck, I'm a white straight male and I am for others.

That really depends on him and if he is his true self with his friends or with his wife. I wouldn't know. But I doubt he thinks "I really enjoyed our physical intimacy" last night.

Hmm yeah that's true I am sometimes as well, but it's even worse for people in a number of other countries.

I don't see where there's anything inherently wrong with the topic though.
