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?

Celisea, I understand your point but women get probed their whole life whether it be by a penis, fingers, toys etc. It comes with being a woman, not trying to downplay it at all. Men are not used to that at all.

“Between being a$$-fisted or prostate cancer, I’m not sure that death isn’t the better option”
That made me chuckle.
A previous Doctor I had was an Annapolis Graduate and wore this HUGH class ring.
I just remember thinking, damn sure glad it’s 3-yrs, before I find out if he takes that thing off before he goes into the exam room!!!!

Some dudes might like it so much they might try to make the Medical Journal change the time frame from once a year to twice a day
Scientifically speaking, there is a sliver of credence to that statement. For some men, the feeling/sensation from having the prostate massaged/stimulated(be it an exam or finger or…)
is kinda enjoyable. Just like that little area between the pubic area and the anus(medically it’s called the anogenital distance, but we call it the ” t’ain’t “)…if you massage it the right way some men find that enjoyable,too.
This concludes the blog medical PSA for today….carry on

Be afraid if you look on the wall and your Dr has a degree from the University Of Pheonix
OR
You are really in trouble if your doctor performs the final part of the exam with both hands firmly
placed on your shoulders.

Yes, it is attraction. His money and fame are attractive to a certain type of woman and he will continue to attract that type of woman until the day he dies.
Umm, okay then…lol And I’m done here.
Am I missing something here??? What is your defnition of attraction, Celisea? I thought we were talking about what a woman was attracted to in Hugh Hefner, and what the majority of women are attracted to are his money and his fame. I’m not sure what your issue with that is, C, unless I’m not understanding your definition of attraction????

So when you think @nal sex feels great to a women, think of how you prostate exam, now multiply it times 3. Granted, I have never done it.

My bad..after you’ve studied anatomy & physiology long enough and read enough papers it starts to sink in….PLUS when you’ve done that to a few men you know by experience. I tried this to see if it’s true and I promise you that brought the b!tch rought outta him. Ask someone over the age of, I’d say 40 to be fair, what the “taint” is and they’ll tell you.

Bubba was walking home late at night and sees a woman in the
shadows.
‘Twenty dollars,’ she whispers.
Bubba had never been with a hooker before, but decides what the heck,
it’s only twenty bucks. So they hide in the bushes. They’re ‘engaged’
for a minute when all of a sudden a light flashes on them. It is a
police officer.
‘What’s going on here, people?’ asks the officer.
‘I’m making love to my wife,’ Bubba answers, sounding annoyed.
‘Oh, I’m sorry,’ says the cop. ‘I didn’t know.’
‘Well, neither did I, ’til ya shined that light in her face!’

I’m talking about both. I’ve read that massaging the prostate creates an enjoyable sensation for some men and when I mentioned the tain’t (spot between ur chestnutz n anus) that was from me practicing what I’d read in class to see if it’s true….and it was.

I’m really fond of the taupe-ish/mushroomy/gray-ish color (maybe because that’s the color of my living room). I did the walls in that color, and the ceilings a french vanilla – the room is very cozy, and lends itself well to bold accent colors (red, orange, black, etc).

In London, 17 people get on the bus.
In Reading, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.
In Swindon, 2 people get off and 4 get on.
In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.
