Should women date like men?
I was listening to a song the other day, called Do It Like A Dude. It was by the singer Jessie J and the lyrics – and video – are quite hilarious. I thought how silly it would be if women behaved as men. No offense to the gentleman folk but I am not sure I could ever carry on like you do.
When it comes to dating, I can be dude-like in some instances, though. I know a lot of men who don’t rush a dating relationship. I am the type that takes it super slow, and I don’t usually get clingy with the men I date.
What would happen if more women dated like men, though? Would it be a good thing for some, bad thing for others?
Could some men stand to date like a woman?
What dating or relationship habits/behaviors do you think we could benefit from adopting from the opposite sex?

And having options doesn’t mean sleeping with every Tom, Dick and Harry out there either as you and some other dudes seem to think.

George Clooney has said over and over again he doesn’t ever want to be married again so at least he is upfront about his life. I think it’s the women he dates that think they can “change” his mind and he dumps them or they leave him.

@ Bama. I think we are all saying the same thing. Women should exercise the right to have options without being a ho.

Bamabelle you do what’s good for you honey. It’s obvious you like shopping, just keep in mind that one pair may not fit all. What I mean is dude 1 might mistake you for a quick trip to his bed, dude 2 might see you out with dude one, dude 3 might be perfect for you thinking you’re single and unattached but you’re hangin with dudes 2 and 1. so he says forget I’ll see when you straighten your loose ends.

That’s not true. I can promise you that there is nothing about a clinical vaginal exam that would make me want to schedule one any more frequently than necessary. In fact, I was encouraged to read an article recently that states annual exams may be unnecessary.

Sexy Cool, I would go to the doctor with my wife for pregnancy visits, I know it needed to be done but I hated watching him all between her legs and sticking that whatever you call that thing in her. Then later at home or the next day, she would want to be “intimate”. All I could think about was some other guy was just there. I know it’s silly but still, felt strange. I am the only one who is supposed to see that and enter it. LOL

Swiss I started at 40. Thing is a woman doctor may do more damage than a male doctor. SHe could be jilted, a dyke or just a freak and really just go wrist deep in you. Then again, so could a male doctor. It’s just a bad situation all around.

Prostate exam
A man goes to his doctor for his physical and gets sent to the Urologist as a precaution. When he gets there, he discovers the urologist is a very pretty female doctor.
The female doctor says, ‘I’m going to check your prostate today, but this new procedure is a little different from what you are probably used to. I want you to lie on your right side, bend your knees, then while I check your prostate, take a deep breath and say, ’99′.
The guy obeys and says, ’99′.
The doctor says, ‘Great. Now turn over on your left side and again, while I repeat the check, take a deep breath and say, ’99.’
Again, the guy says, ’99.’
The doctor said, ‘Very good. Now then, I want you to lie on your back with your knees raised slightly. I’m going to check your prostate with this hand, and with the other hand I’m going to hold on to your penis to keep it out of the way.
Now take a deep breath and say, ’99.’
The guy begins, ‘One .. Two ….. Three’.
