Some people can't answer a simple @#$%ing question

[LindyHopper]

..and glad I did 🙂, hope you don't mind though.
It's just one of the funniest freudian slips I've seen in a while 😀

You say Freudian slip, I say typo.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. 😉

Wasn't his orginal question: "Are your feet ticklish?"

This is a tickling forum where tickling disscussions go on. I see no "rudeness" in the intial question. I agree men can be very rude and disrespectful to women at times, but I don't think this qualifies.

No, there's no problem in the original question. It doesn't become a problem until he repeats the question when he's been told that it's not of interest to the lady in question, and then gets self-righteously annoyed at her refusal to give him the answer that he feels he's entitled to. Wrap it all up in his statement that he really doesn't care what she wants, because it's all about him, and it's not a pretty package.

Men are brought up to be the agressors Lindy. They are not brought up to be dainty about it either.

I'm sorry, but this attitude really annoys me. I was not brought up to be ham-handed in my dealings with women. Even if I had been, it would not excuse me from failing to learn better once I got out in the real world. Any defense of bad behavior that sums up to "He can't help himself; he's just a guy" is at best patronizing of men, and at worst it's an excuse to avoid getting better.

And isn't it the same anywhere? A girl walks into a bar, chatroom (anyone's, not just TMF's) they're going to get bombarded by the guys right? Some of them will be respectful and cool, others will be just, well, themselves.

Yes, there are jerks everywhere. That doesn't make being a jerk acceptable, just common.

And as for the impertinent questions...Well, I kind of liken becoming a "good man" to be much like becoming a "good parent." There are no manuals folks and most of them got to be that way by learning, thru practice, MAKING mistakes.

Very true. But a good man doesn't learn to avoid mistakes unless they're pointed out to him. Sometimes they have to be pointed out fairly firmly.

A woman might have to expect this sort of thing, but she shouldn't have to put up with it, excuse it, or ignore it.

Well stated Red....All of it...

Guys, if you ask a girl a question and she doesnt give you the answer you're looking for.....just chill.....

You wont score points by starting threads about it or pursuing it further in pm or the chat room.....

When people start quoting each other and using the word "point", it's time for a thread to go away.

Well, no one's mentioned Hitler yet, so I suppose the game is still on... 😀

Hmm. Well, I guess I'd better get my comments in this thread before some well meaning individual decides to close it.

I have no problem with the way Cap asked the question nor with the way ticklishgiggle answered it. I do know that women get pounded with the questions, and if there was anything I could do about it, I would. On the far end of the other side of the spectrum, I've had a couple of women lose interest in conversing with me in the chatroom because I'm not asking the "where are you most ticklish" questions or leading the conversation towards a more intimate level.

And for the record, any woman who'd have the gall to tell me to "come correct or don't come at all," I would answer in my best Chris Rock, "Given the choice, I'll take 'not at all,' cause bitch, you ain't all that!"

You know, agreeing with you makes me feel like Hitler

Forget the thread and forget the hijack! That's the coolest Fonzie pic!

 

[FeatheryOctopi]

Can't we all just get along? Thats all for now.

 

[Soda Bobinski]

More importantly, I'm not into answering a million questions from all the foot fetishists swarming around.

I wouldn't say we 'swarm around' so much as we come together , move , or occur in great numbers.

By the way ticklishgiggle ... I think you have pretty feet.

I know - I was trying to avoid that, because some of them I like/find useful... but I'm giving it a try now, and it does mean so much less scrolling! 😀

 

[steph]

I know. Easier on the carpal tunnel too.
You can still view them if you read forum and don't sign in but I never do, unless someone directs me to a specific sig pic.
