miss-gonewest Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 This thread started somewhere else here, but I think its particularly interesting... Check it out --> http://www.loveshack.org/forums/showthread.php?postid=518505#post518505 So far we have two votes that the book was in fact written by a woman and edited by a man (which I find funny considering that clearly indicates that SHE was Smart, Motivated, Ambitious and not afraid of hard work). I'm voting that a man wrote the one called "Don't be Afraid of Communication: How to dump a girl without talking to her"; "The Final Frontier: How to love her and leave her in the same day" And don't get me started on all those chapters on sex... I can't pick a favourite!
greenhorn Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Originally posted by miss-gonewest "Don't be Afraid of Communication: How to dump a girl without talking to her"; The original chapter by woman was like this " How to dump a guy- classical dumper statement" and that statement was ....yeah you all guessed it correct " I love you but not in love with you". There are few other chapters also , they are mentioned in the referred thread.

Well, I think I meant it was drafted by a committee of men and women.... I concede that a guy was probably the editor-in-chief. Here are the chapters I have seen: (male contributions) - improving dating efficiency: the timehonoured art of keeping several on the go at once. - household management: getting the wh*re to do your chores. - faking it: sound romantic and caring, get sex - the art of good foreplay (still seeking an author) (female contributions) - gender equality: but only when it suits you - the "where have all the good men gone?" ploy: how to be commitmentphobic but not appear it - advanced blameshifting: being a bitch, but convincing yourself and your gfs that he's the bad guy - the crying game: how tears, moods and anger can be the passport to complete control

Author miss-gonewest Posted June 29, 2005 Author Posted June 29, 2005 To cross post... Efficient Housekeeping: How to move from the 'glam bag' to moving in. And I personally think that a man authored the foreplay chapter. Its called 'Foreplay the Minimalist Approach: Just Asking for Sex Counts'

Author miss-gonewest Posted June 29, 2005 Author Posted June 29, 2005 Or "Taking the Firm Approach to Intimacy: No Foreplay = No Sex" (written by a woman) She also wrote the following: "Housework the Low Down & Dirty Approach: Just Don't Do It" "Infiltrating Enemy Lines: How to Get Onside with the Best Friend" "Interpersonal Relations: Subtle Ways to get him to Shave"

ReluctantRomeo Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by miss-gonewest I don't know about that... I personally ended up with a knife block from my ex. It was my birthday present. He on the other hand ended up with a new wardrobe, some guppies, wine glasses and lego... I know who got the better deal - I'd happily trade those darn knives for the lego! See, it's a chapter for a guy to write. Could you contact your ex along these lines, please? Lego?!? Was this some kind of kinky game?

Lego?!? Was this some kind of kinky game? I don't trust myself to hand over the knives... he'd end up with a few in his back. No, not kinky with the Lego... I wish it were. Its a valuable lesson to learn though - and there's a chapter in that too "Childhood Whims: If they haven't grown up by 28, send them back to their mother". And I wouldn't mind the wine glasses back either - they were bloody good ones. And the guppies - I could feed them to my fighting fish. The clothes he can keep.

And you didn't see this as a big red flag?!? 28 and plays with lego? Mind you, I'm surprised he didn't see you keeping Piranhas as being a sign of something amiss

These are entirely woman domain. 1.How to say " we are just friends" with someone for whom you are cheating 3. 101 best ways to string a guy/girl along. I have personally experienced both of these lines... from a guy. Although if they were written by a woman - there would only be 7 ways to string a guy along - you guys lose track of the excuses after that many! I think there could be a few chapters on the "Friends Issue".... my favourite is: "Making the I'd Like to be Friends Line Work For You: How to take your 'friendship' to 'mateship' by duping a girl into shagging you post-breakup"

Mind you, I'm surprised he didn't see you keeping Piranhas as being a sign of something amiss I agree.... maybe I'm colourblind and I saw it as a green flag??? At least I know where I'm going wrong - I should invest in some of those lovely rose coloured glasses that are so popular these days...

Author miss-gonewest Posted June 29, 2005 Author Posted June 29, 2005 Its a good lesson to learn kids... don't play with lego or knives whilst wearing rose coloured specs!
ReluctantRomeo Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by miss-gonewest Its a good lesson to learn kids... don't play with lego or knives whilst wearing rose coloured specs! Or date a girl who keeps Piranhas and buys you lego and knives for herself
Author miss-gonewest Posted June 29, 2005 Author Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by ReluctantRomeo Or date a girl who keeps Piranhas and buys you lego and knives for herself HE bought the knives for ME!

ReluctantRomeo Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by miss-gonewest HE bought the knives for ME! Logical. What else would you get the girl who already has piranhas? Although you don't insult her later - that was a bad move What happened to buying a girl lingerie, perfume or jewellery? He may as well have bought me a vacuum cleaner!!! Or a chain to keep me in the kitchen preparing his meals... Well, some girls are just the home-y types and the presents change accordingly. I'm sure he could have passed the chain off as a new modish necklace
moimeme Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 He may as well have bought me a vacuum cleaner!!! Those things are worth more than perfume, lingerie, and even some jewellery

That beats kitchen & electrical appliances anyday! Although... I do still have his credit card number... is that evil?

I KNEW I should've nagged him more about that really expensive vibrator - you know that one that does all the work for you? That beats kitchen & electrical appliances anyday! Time to put that credit card to work... don't just settle for one - buy a whole collection. Moi can advise here
