Assuming I can generalize? Woman, sweeping gender platitudes are my specialty.
For instance: women love candles that smell like food! What's the deal with that? Why does your house smell like the guts of a giant cupcake monster made out of cupcake? Or this: dudes love to scratch their balls. WTF? They don't even have to have a legitimate itch for a quick jostle or tug. Men think they're being subtle while excavating, when in fact they all blatantly claw their zipper bells in public. Why? Is it because it's comforting? Like it's nice to know they're there?
See? It's really easy. AND FUN! (That last bit about testicle: all true.)
The most important quality in a woman is... Are you sure you're not looking for a sexual answer? Please? I have something to say about yoga.
Fine. The most important quality in a woman is a sense of humor. But this is the most important quality in any human being. When I say "sense of humor," I'm not saying that the person have the capacity to point and cackle with the crowd. A "sense of humor" is not the brain dead ability to bleat like zombie sheep.
Someone with a "sense of humor" is empathetic. Their head isn't planted so far up their ass that they can eat the same sandwich over an over again. A person with a sense of humor has the magical power to see the world through eyes other than their own. This magical power is called "imagination" by shaman and Jedi's and decent freaking people who aren't self-absorbed famebots.
A "sense of humor" allows a person to never take themselves seriously. It helps that person realize that we're all hilariously flawed, and that forgiving a person for the humiliation of being human is a great and wise gift. Starting with oneself.
For instance: everybody farts. That's why they're funny. Rude little toots that emanate from the place where your body excretes. I do it. You do it. Penelope Cruz does it. So does the Pope.
I forgive us all.
Very well put!!
I want to know what you were going to say about yoga!
Great answer! It makes me wonder what people with no sense of humour value as their most important quality in a mate.
Also, who is this mysterious Writer Chick? How did I miss her arrival on Guyspeak? And, if I'm judging your profile correctly, did you ask this question as well as answer it? It seems to be an odd way to do a column, but it was very entertaining.
Hey Cathy,
I screwed up on my end. "Writer Chick" is the lovely lady humanoid who asked the question. I accidentally credited her as the person being asked the question.
I'm sorry. So, so sorry.
Oh, well that makes much more sense. I'll just dismantle the fansite that I made for her and resurrect yours, I guess.
.......im sorry ya kinda lost me in your response somewhere around YOGA!!! Im with JB on this one.Yoga??SPILL!! ok just one question...should I join a yoga class in the morning?
I believe it was a joke as far as a sexual answer.... meaning it would be great if you could put your legs behind your head and hold them there for awhile.
Feel the need to go on record here and say that as a part of the female species you refer to as loving food smelling candles...
Blech... as snoopy or is it lucy would say...
Nope not a fan...prefer floral or spicy to big sugar cookie or cupcake aromas.
i'm still amused by the term "zipper bells". Great response dude.
Thanks for the lovely reply! I do prefer that my candles have the scent of lilac, sage, or dryer sheets, though. *winks* As for "zipper bells" -- men have always told me that they scratch them, and I quote, "because we can". Which makes sense to moi!
Darn -- I had my own fansite for a tiny while and completely missed it? It seems I slept through my 15 minutes... Bummage! Curses on Andy Warhol for setting limitations anyway!
Looks like I need to work on that sense of humor thing. I was completely clueless as to what I was doing wrong. I will be forever grateful for the enlightenment; any and all future successes will be dedicated to you, good sir!
I do hate to thank and run, but I'm feeling especially gaseous today for some reason... Perhaps I am feeling the weight of shame being lifted, as permission to emit has been granted at long last! Get over here, pinch your nose and hug me! ;-)

My boyfriend has always told me that my sense of humor was the most important..if you can laugh at the little things, then the maybe the tough times you two will face together will be a little easier to handle . Also self love- which translates into self confidence. If you Love yourself- it's pretty clear to people and how can someone else love you if you don't love yourself.
extended tally you've get
I used to be very pleased to seek out this net-site.I wanted to thanks for your time for this wonderful read!! I undoubtedly having fun with every little bit of it and I've you bookmarked to check out new stuff you blog post.
a sense of humour is great, so is a practical mind, some madness, lots of the subject you said to leave out and meny other things - the most important thing is to have a blend of all the features and characteristics that match the mans, but bot fitting too well, you need a elements of feature-friction to keep both working at it
What a lovely day for a 2468652! SCK was here
