Dont think Id take lessons from the guy who created Ali G!!!!!!!! |

read the book on my holiday...confirms that men are just weird, illogical and selfish beings... Anyone who has had anything resembling a relationship with any member of the opposite sex knows we think and respond differently. I wish I had cashed in on that and wrote a book with a catchy sci-fi title before that con artist (yes con artist with an online degree from a phony university) did then I'd be rich and inviting you all over to my Venusian shag pad so we can explore our "differences" ;) Now I will just have to write a book about embittered sexaholic men in the middle east :rofl: N. |

Surely with Mars leading that's more of a short story than a novel............... There is a cynical part of me saying that women should have sex with other women are reserve marriage and sex with men purely for practical purposes (Getting water to come out of the taps for instance :rofl:), wouldn't both sexes be much happier this way? Of course I'm sure they would have adopted this approach if it had any merit or if there was any truth in the complaint they keep voicing than men cannot satify them ;). So on most grounds I have to refute that argument based on the evidence. |

[QUOTE=Charismatic;6722092]:p Not to mention the geometric problems of fitting planets into a bedroom
I have no problem getting Planet Earth to manouevre in my bedroom ........ There is a cynical part of me saying that women should have sex with other women are reserve marriage and sex with men purely for practical purposes (Getting water to come out of the taps for instance :rofl:), wouldn't both sexes be much happier this way? What a drab metaphor...........I'm curious to know Charismatic-is your Avatar a personal statement of sorts? Oh yeh, your theory- and while all the girls are rolling in the rugs what would you guys be doing? Each others cynical parts??? |
