What a wonderful double standard

Didn't say it was.

Sorry to disappoint you on all counts - the only op I've had is the bilateral arthroscopy that's left me with an inability to chew steak properly and my husband is currently at work, earning money to buy me wine!

Never have been fan of radical feminists - except the burning of bras part - man, they are uncomfortable things!

Besides, I just love men - anything wrong with that? (But now I'm married I just admire other men from a distance!)

LOL I think they are one and the same with the hairy armpitted man haters I was talking about. That comment of mine was a windup, sorry if I didnt ladle enough sarcasm on it though.

Meanwhile, its always the outspoken few that ruin it for the rest, regardless what topic you choose to discuss.

Ok, I'm serious now. I have read a few replies from people who suggested that they might be interested...

Please PM me if you are seriously interested in joining Contours. I don't see why the hell not, there is no difference. We can finalise details via PM.

How about a gym only for BMI between 18 and 25? Or body fat less than 15% and weight between 50 and 90 kgs?

Age from 18 to 25?

Thanks bitch.

Only got me on two counts

Les Mills is good enough for me, plenty of chicks around to get the old heart pumping... havn't worked up to the Aerobics class yet, but that's gotta be as close as you get to heaven... surely everyone remembers Call On Me

This is just one aspect of being a gentleman I know, but it is an important part, and one which an increasing number of hairy armpitted man haters dont want.

Their loss, I say.

I'm happy to have feminists as friends, although traditionally we have never seen eye to eye enough to become close friends. I would never see fit to dating a feminist. I much prefer a lady to a woman.

I'm a large and strong alpha male.
I open doors for people, pop jar lids, carry the heaviest pack, go first when it's sus - nobody has ever complained.
Still maintain you treat people with decency and respect and even yer rabbid man hater will admit we have uses.
Easier said than done.
With you on the lady front - (as long as there is a dirty girl down deep.)

I'm a small weak beta male with delusions of being an alpha plus (pt).

I do all the above and while I dont normally get complaints, I do get surly "I can do it"'s on a semi regular basis (different generation perhaps? Who knows), while the person removing the jar lid spends the next half hour huffing and puffing over the task at hand. Note this isnt talking about any one person in particular, just women (and sometimes men, but that's not what we are discussing here I dont think) acquaintences in general. I agree that you should treat people with decency and respect - unless its not returned. And even those that dont repay in kind will still get fair treatment, but will loose my respect and any special favours.

LOL - like your edit. You got it in one.

In a nut shell... Nz is too PC. Had I been the judge in the case or whatever I would have laughed at her... for $10 she could have gone to the warehouse and brough a damn razor and done the job herself... like some other people mentioned... sounds like she was just stirring

If you guys are gonna join the womens gym lol let us know how it goes...

I think what I have bolded is the important part Dave, being a polite person is not just holding shit open for woman but anyone.

This is why I ride motorbikes, To get away from bullshit. It doesnt bother me, I get my haircut where ever and couldnt care less about where anyone else gets their haircut. No amount of feminists will ever stop me riding my bike. Apart from if they join the police. And drive very fast to catch up to me.
