Alright ladies, we're going to try things a little differently with this weekly recap. We're rounding up the guys' best answers AND your best comments. Because it takes a village. And ya'll had a lot to say about a lot of things this week!
Keep reading for the guys' best advice - and to see if we picked your comment!
Wise-Ass stirred up some MAJOR controversy when he responded:
The statute of limitations ran out months ago. Guys like to hedge their bets, so I can see him keeping a little flame alive with the ex just in case. If this was an isolated incident, let it go.
But many of you weren't ready to let Cary's answer go. As commenter Vee put it, "Bullshit!" Our favorite comment came from Molly:
I think that's EXTREMELY sketchy. And I'm sorry, but the "hedging their bets" excuse is pathetic. Seriously, with that mode of thinking, men can get away with anything.
What if you finally get the courage to tell a guy you're a virgin and then he DUMPS you?
Ouch! Mystery Man said guys are totally turned on by virgins - just not virgins til marriage:
Virgins are pretty highly-rated. What guys do not like, however, is the prospect of dating a virgin who insists on remaining a virgin until the big day. This waiting until marriage philosophy is something I still can't understand, as why someone would want to commit to something as serious as marriage and not take the person out for a little test drive makes very little sense to me.
At least Mystery Man's being honest. But the virgins in the house fought back. Here's an awesome comment from Marissa:
For those who can't understand [virgins] like "us", don't try to, there's nothing to figure out. We don't try to figure you out, we accept you as equals. Now give us a break, ok?
Reformed Player guides our delicate wall-flower with this advice:
So long as you don't drool, or cackle maniacally, or, I don't know, moo, you're doing just fine. There are a lot of women out there who are human icebergs. Flirting is like ping-pong. Just keep the ball bouncing back and forth.
Our fav response comes from "b," who offers this cautionary tale to other female icebergs:
I once IGNORED, refused to look at, talk to, [acknowledge] a particular man because I was head over heels crazy about him. I knew we had something going on and ultimately I was too afraid to let him get close. Needless to say, several months later he married his fiancé, and today I'm single and missed an opportunity to enjoy what I would have imagined as a great relationship.
I have a perfect body - does everyone love it as much as I do?
Chic Geek says, um, not so much:
While I'm sure plenty of men (and maybe women) appreciate your body, no one will ever love it as much as you seem to. In fact, you should probably just clone yourself and become the first person to marry your own clone.
And rockstar commenter Vee serves up this medicine:
She lost me at "I'm a perfect...." Honey, none of us are perfect. Everyone has cellulite, acne (and if it's not on your face it's definitely on your ass), unwanted hair, a nasty attitude and so forth. Proceed to getting over yourself.
What are the things women stress about that men care less about?
Girl's BFF has a laundry list, but we ladies are known as repeat offenders on this one:
Why you are late. We're generally just pissed that you're late. The reason is insignificant. That's jacked up, but really, so is that outfit - which means it's not a good reason to be late. Do better next time. It was written.
Divagirl answers Panama brilliantly with this opus on granny panties:
Guys have joked for eons about how unsexy those big, white, unflattering, baggy butt-covers are. I can only assume that a "matching bra" which would look like the '50s, full-cover, 6-hook, bullet-proof model, would be a buzz-kill in the bedroom. hahaha!
Thanks for playing, guys and girls. And if you have a favorite comment from the week, please nominate it below!
Awesome ! :) that made my day
Vee, you are too funny! Keep it up!
I second that! Vee, thanks for always making me laugh!
I feel like I'm reading Cosmo.
Not in a good way.
I agree. What's the point of the recap??
Agree agree. Popular posts list on the side of the screen works just fine.
Probably Gal Pal isn't getting many questions yet and needs something to do. Although a decent blog post or two would make us more comfortable with her; she could try that.
Carrie...it's all good. You're doin' great.
And..thanks for the shout out for my take on the deadly Granny style.
BTW, no, I cant fit into Victoria's thongs, but I'm rockin the "partial lace" I-think-they're-sexy black hipster panties and bra that get no complaints. ;)
No offense Carrie, but I don't understand why you're on this site. It's called Guyspeak for a reason.. Women already know what they're thinking. And you haven't even contributed anything to the sight, other than a recap that no one needs.
Carrie, I checked out some of your work online (you're funny!) but posts like these are confusing.
1. Because they're pointless for anyone who regularly reads the site.
2. They make you appear like some kind of assistant. All your posts are either these or original ones that call for comments and questions for the guys rather than making a statement. Are you here to answer questions or just drum up conversation?
Personally, I think you should just be a "regular guy" and answer questions just like the rest of them. Or you could give double answers with a guy to offer 2 perspectives.
How exactly do you rate a best comment? Clearly not by the scores given. Seems jest like the comments that disagree with the guys.
I agree with britt! I don't mind that there's a woman on the site, even though this is GUYspeak. But I do think your role on the site should be larger (it's your small role now that makes it more awkward/confusing, thus making people why you're here at all).
At the end of the week, why not pick out some questions that you may offer different advice for? Maybe if a guy didn't seem fair in his answer, you can sort of speak up for the girl asking the question and give a different answer.
Again, like britt said, I think we should simply be able to ask you questions as well.
