decoding the opposite sex

Post by briannell » Thu Jun 23, 2005 1:18 pm

this probably isn't as amusing to men as women, but what the heck, it's a slow day here.

Friend is a prof at St. Martin's College, and teaching 300 Psych class. Tired of students asking her for dating advice gave the assignment to read a self-help book and point out areas that they've encountered where men and women miscommunicate. She later asked them to write out their own advice from lessons they learned. Realized that after she read her students papers that it is easier to buy a dog and live the rest of your life with it than ever have to re-enter the dating pool.

just for fun thought of what i learned while at MSU and this is what i came up with :
1. don't let athletes twice your size sit behind you in class with bags full of candy from the sweet shop, especially if you have any cleavage showing. your chest suddenly becomes target practice.
2. don't goto the Crystal unarmed with girlfriends if you're going to do shots with those same athletes.
3. when a man says "I'd feel differently if you were single and there was no attraction between us." with regards to hanging out, what he means is "why waste my time if i'm not going to get laid."
4. Don't ever tell a man he's adorable when he's referring to his job. although he might be, he'll take it as an insult.
5. when he says "i'd love to introduce you to my friends, but right now it's not appropriate", he means "I'm cheating, and everyone knows my girlfriend".
6. Don't think men don't compare notes on women they date.
7. Men NEED to feel needed and that they don't like women as independant as they may claim.
8. don't offer to pick up the check, because it implies he's broke. even if you just don't feel right about it, unless otherwise asked of you, DON'T do this.
9. If they ask to study Biology with you at your house, don't be shocked if he tries to get naked.
and 10.
DON"T ever honestly tell a man what your parents really think about him. Or his profession, it doesn't go over well.

know wonder women and men are so messed up. glad not to be single these days, it's too much work :wink:

On that note:

Before you order a drink in public, you should read this! Seven New
York City bartenders were asked if they could nail a woman's
personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed
separately, they concurred on almost all counts.

The results:
Drink: Beer
Personality: Causal, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.

Drink: Blender Drinks
Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass.
Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.

Drink: Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, has very picky taste; knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your Approach: You won't have to approach her. If she's interested, she'll send YOU a drink....

Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel)
Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with friends.

Drink: White Zinfandel
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually, she has NO clue.
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is...this should be an easy target.

Drink: Shots
Personality: Likes to hang with frat-boy pals and looking to get totally drunk... and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed. Nothing to do but wait, however, be careful not to make her mad!

Drink: Tequila
No explanations required - everyone just KNOWS what happens there.

THEN, there is the MALE addendum ----
The deal with guys is, as always, very simple and clear cut:
Domestic Beer: He's poor and wants to get laid.
Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid.
Wine: He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated
image to help him get laid.
Whiskey: He doesn't give a damn about anything but getting laid.
Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless
waitress.
White Zinfandel: He's gay


The devil made me do it the first time... the second time I done it on my own.

I just thought of this after reading Ponycat’s post; I heard from a bartender that a Captain Coke is a “gay” drink. He said that a Captain Coke is Montana’s equivalent of having an umbrella in a fruity drink.

My two cents regarding what they will be when they grow up:

Drinks:

Domestic Beer: Work on a ranch or farm, always wants to get laid, sheep will do in a pinch.

Imported Beer: Wants to be a stock broker or investment broker but only so he can impress the girls and get laid, sheep would only do on a bet.

Wine: Professional job, hates to party, complains about drunk college kids, always wants to get laid but has impotence problems, dreams about sheep but would never admit it.

Whiskey: Construction Worker, always wants to get laid, would rape a sheep.

Tequila: Still thinks he is in college, always wants to get laid but is always to drunk to perform, passes out long before he can get to a farm with sheep.

White Zinfandel: Gay, wants to own a bar called the "Mouthful", always wants to get laid but has to be careful in Montana, would never have sex with a sheep.

Bacardi-Coke: Real cool guy, great to party with, to cool for sheep and always gets laid!! Wait a minute; I drink Bacardi-Coke!

wait a minute, didn't BAC say he preferred wine bars? Oh, Brad you poor boy you. :wink:

But, you men are getting a little off the subject. if you can remember anything about MSU other than which bars you liked best, i'm sure you learned a thing or two about the co-eds.

Just that some of the ideas my friends students came up with made me laugh. Guess my list was pretty true, because there were no rebuttles to it.

What I remembered about the co-eds is that you could ask every man on campus to name the top five girls in terms of looks and they would all name the same five in probably the same order. It was pretty BUTT ugly when I went to school. Now when I come back each fall they look like VS models. What the hell happened???

I'm blushing!

actually, it's funny because I'm so muffy, and well, most my friends are AG, I think I was unusual. I was picked on a lot by football players, but very rarely asked out. Don't get me wrong, I was asked to put out, but not asked out. mostly, the co-eds were a mix. 93-97 , but no one communicated well. funny I dated from 18 -21, and have been with hubby for almost eleven years now, so i didn't get much practice.

had HUGE crush on Ag major, but I'm June Cleaver and no one wanted to be married with kids at 21 other than myself.

Still get mushy over AG major, but just sort of pals. Can't be more, I'm married.

All I know is that they didn't grow co-eds like they do today when I was at MSU.

I can't find anything to disagree with in Rebecca's 10 or Ponycat's summary.


Montana State IS what "they" think Montana is.

Hmm...that's kind of a weird one; I've never heard that before. I mean, I don't think of Captain & Coke as the "manliest" drink in the world, but if I had to make a list of drinks that I think of as "gay," quite a few others would come to mind first (white zin, white russians, pretty much anything fruity, etc.) *shrug*

I dunno...maybe it's because the two friends I have who do drink Captain & Coke are an obnoxious, cocky 300 lb Butte guy and a Navy SEAL. :)

Griz, you called the Dude gay. If it's good enough for Jeff Bridges, it's good enough for me!

All I can remember were the BUTT ugly ones. Too many 25 cents beers at the Zoo bar. If I remember correctly, I think the guy to girl ratio was three guys to every girl when I was in school.

Man how things have changed. When I moved back to Bozeman in 1996, I could not believe the number of good-looking coed's running around town. I guess getting old is a lot like closing time. They all get prettier the long you wait.

Heh...well no offense intended to the Dude, or anyone else who drinks any of the afformentioned drinks. My only point was that I never thought of Cap'n & Coke in that way until Quast mentioned it.

A lot of ins and outs but the Dude is definately not gay, I guess you just have to refer to them as Caucasians. As for the rest of the posts lets make sure we don't treat objects like women. :wink:

When I heard the story I thought that is sound a little weird too. I didn’t think that Captain and Coke was a “gay” drink. Well my thoughts on the subject changed when I was in Hooligans in Billings about 2 months ago. I was drinking with one of my buddies (6’3 270 lbs) and a gay guy walk up to him and grabbed his ass! It was so bloody funny! The guy was very feminine and wearing a big old pink shirt! I ask my friend why that dude would have possibly grabbed his butt and he said that he had no idea. Then about a week later I heard this bartender talking about drinks and how Captain Coke is a “gay” drink. Well that is what my buddy was ordering when that guy grabbed his ass! If it were not for that instance I would have not thought that a Captain Coke was a gay drink, but now I am convinced that there must be some truth to his theory!

Just admit that "your buddy" is really YOU! Or are you the one in the Pink shirt??????

Gary and Kmax you both know the guy that got his ass grabbed... It was Shaun. He was so shocked he didn't know what to do! I was standing on the other side of the bar and saw Shaun's reaction. He said "no thanks" and walked away. I asked him what happened and he said that guy grabbed his ass and tried picking him up. I was laughing so hard! Kmax you should ask him about it, oh and make sure to tell Orr (I don’t think he knows about it).

edit by kmax to remove at least the last name to somewhat protect the (not-so)innocent, though I still think it is funny as hell.

at 6'3 , 270 you can drink whatever you'd like since you can kick their butt if they offend you, by grabbing it. in my younger days I dated an all american from CAL 6'5, 320 and he drank wine coolers. nobody messed with Todd, too damn big.

I have noticed that although Brian has dropped from his 270 game weight to 240 he still likes domestic beer, and shots. so i guess my hubby is still poor and looking to get laid :D
