Did you bastards take Drew Dad off the "Real Men Email Update List" because he cried in the toilet, so he doesn't get the updates so he doesn't know how to be a real man any more?

You're an animal, Patiodog, an animal.

We also need a better system of keeping the members of the club up-to-date.

I never received the memo that we were allowed to cry in the first place. I've been sobbing alone in the toilet.

Wait... I'm not allowed to say that, now, am I?

Yeah, it's a confusing world out there eh? What's a man to do to please a woman? Some find it pleasant if the man shows thoughtful considerance, others find it demeaning. Some like to talk, other's like cars. Some want to be courted, others want to court.

So I guess the sensible thing to do, especially with blind dating and stuff, is to make sure you have a questionnaire with you to fill out. You know, the basic stuff like:
a. Are you really a woman, or just a transsexual?
b. Do we go dutch, do I pay, or do you pay?
c. Should I open the door, or should I just assume you are capable of doing this yourself?
d. Do you prefer jeans to robes?
e. Do you believe men in general are vile, testosterone filled, packets of excrement whose basic brain functions seem to revolve around guzzling beer, farting, watching sports and cars and having sex, and are you just hoping I'm the unique specimen without these qualifications?
f. Am I allowed to give you a good night peck on the cheek after this date, or is this demeaning behavior?
g. Do you desire for me to escort you back to your current residence?
h. Should I call you for a second date? If so, how long should I wait before I make this call? Or do you want to call me for another date?

The next part is only relevant if you feel we could continue dating. If so, please feel free to fill it out. I will provide you with my adress and phone number on the bottom of the page, so you can either send it over or contact me to tell me I can come and pick it up. Please, I beg of you, give me at least a week of time before our next date, so I can make all the changes necessary.

i. Provided this date is succesfull, and we are going on a second date, in order to avoid confusion, please specify what criteria I should meet in the following subjects.
1. Outfit. Casual, or Dressy?
2. Particular colors you like or dislike in my wardrobe
3. Hairstyle
4. Glasses, contacts, or neither?
5. Shoes? Sneakers, casual, or fancy?
6. Would you like a gift as a sign of appreciation?
- If so, please put an X in front of the item you prefer:
O a nice bouquet of flowers
O a box of chocolates
O a new Ferrari
O Me, naked apart from a ribbon around my neck, waiting for you tied to your bedposts.
O Tickets to the opera
O Tickets to a sports game of your choice.
- If so, please specify the sport and the team
you'd like to see.
O Lingerie
O None of the above, I'd like .......
because ..........

7. Topics of discussion you'd like? Multiple answers possible
O politics
Except the situation in .....
O previous relationships
O Mine
O Yours
O Both
O Sports
Except for...
O Fashion
O Men's fashion
O Women's fashion
O Lingerie
PS. Please let me know ASAP, I need to read up on this material. That is, fashion in its totality, not just lingerie
O Music
O Movies
O Culture
In particular, ....
PS. Please let me know ASAP, I might need to read up on this material as well.
O The environment
Except for...
O Whatever seems appropriate at the time.
Except for ...

8. I realize I might not have mentioned all areas about myself
that are important for you to know about. I apologize
for this blatant insensitivity on my side. Please, specify what
you would like to know more about below
.............................................................................
.............................................................................
.............................................................................
Do you wish for me to give you this information in writing
before the next date, or just tell you about it during the next
date?
.............................................................................

9. It may be the case I have some qualities you find less
then desireable. It is important for me to know which
specific qualities these are, so I can work hard to change
them. Please, describe the qualities about me you don't
like, and the time period you generously provide me with
to get rid of them.
...........................................................................
...........................................................................
...........................................................................
...........................................................................
...........................................................................
If the space provided above is not enough to list everything,
I can understand it. Please feel free to use the backside of
this document to list the rest of your complaints.
I realize that this list may change while we are getting to
know each other. Please, feel free to notify me of any
changes you make so I may do my best to give you a
pleasant dating experience.


Yours truly,
Mr. X.

PS. If at any time you think that this relationship has risen above the dating level, please let me know, and I will bring the relevant questionaires for a relationship.

Or, you can do what you believe to be rational and proper, from your own analysis of things, and discuss any differences as though you were two reasonable adults.


As you presumably do in other areas of your life.

You can't be talking about me if you use the words : Reasonable adult.
Valid arguments can be made against both terms as being applicable to me.

Nonsense.

The sixth layer of hell is DEFINITELY for reasonable adults.

Personally, I've always just tried to be the best human being I know how to be-- to keep my word, honor my commitments, love my friends and family, believe in fairness and equity and practice the same, raise my children with those same values. That's what being a "good" man is all about.

And yes, I've been known to weep like a baby from time to time. If that makes me somehow "less manly" in the eyes of some then they-- and not I-- just need to get over it.

I openly wept after reading your post, Mr. Smith!

Keep on, keeping on!

Hmm... Odd. I was under the distinct impression all reasonable adults had moved to Australia. Or are Australia and the sixth layer of hell synonyms in reality?

I suppose "real men" don't pee their pants either. Geez--I'm sick of all these generalizations. Oops, time to change again.

Real men don't pay much attention to what others say real men do or don't do. Cool

Oh, shaddap y'all! Just be sure to gimme my daily twelve gallons of beer, unlimited acces to the sports channel, a comfy chair, a nice T-shirt I can wear for six weeks in a row, and a nice stack of magazines with bjootiful, busty women clad in swimsuits... or less.

And a Ferrari.
