    Why I'm NOT the Perfect Female

    I was thinking about myself and the fact that I don't resemble the ideal female. Below is the list. I'm sure it will continue to grow.

    • Shopping is an abomination. I mean, I don't want to buy anything. You could try to pay me to shop and I still wouldn't do it.
    • I'm the one in a relationship that worries about money. "No, Mr. Sign, we can't afford that beautiful diamond ring for me."
    • I do all the financial planning including paying the bills. I left it up to him for a period of 3 months in which time he made an $800 error not in our favor.
    • Belching could be a second job for me especially at unexpected times. I may erupt at your formal company dinner party.
    • Cuddling is best left up to kids and their teddy bears. Ok, maybe for that 30 seconds post coitus when I'm in LaLa land it's acceptable.
    • Bugs don't cause me to shriek or even get excited.
    • Bathroom humor makes me laugh for days. After watching Dumb & Dumber, I was still laughing 3 days later. (The toilet scene with Jeff Daniels killed me.)
    • Romance is not a priority for me.
    • Getting dirty is acceptable and even enjoyable for me. The dirtier the better, as long as it's not inside my house.
    • Fru fru drinks don't do it for me. I don't need no stinkin' umbrella. Give me a vodka tonic or a tequila shot straight up, no lime, no salt.
    • Home improvements are my thing. I can hang and finish drywall as well as cut, bevel and finish cabinet doors. I am limited when it comes to electricity and plumbing makes me slightly ambivalent.
    • Shaving is done once a week whether I need it or not. I won't spend hours every week trying to stay stubble free. I'm too old to fight follicles.
    • I can get ready in less than half an hour including washing, drying, curling my hair and applying makeup.
    This list makes me sound like I'm not feminine. I do like to look nice and sometimes wear makeup. My hair has to be perfect because if it's not I will pout all day long and will not be able to look people in the eye because I know they are thinking about my awful hair. I love being a woman but admit that sometimes I have some of the aforementioned masculine traits.

    i'm not that far off that list... i shave a little more often as an excuse to hang about in the hot steamy shower... sometimes i shave when there's practically nothing there just to let the hot water hit my back some more.

    i know, ridiculous. i should get a pedicure kit instead *grin*

    otherwise though? yeah i like getting dirty and i like staying dirty... but then the eventual shower is from heaven.

    and cuddling? *whispers* fucking word.

    :)

    LOL...yes yes and more yes!

    Since MilkMan is out of commission on the bike riding front, I called one of our buddies to see if he was riding last weekend. He answered with a hangover but said..'yeah yeah, I'll go, I mean you are one of the brothers'.

    ahahahahaha, whatever, I can ride with you or I CAN ride by myself.

    i actually like cuddling, but I'm an odd boy.

    and there is someone home, but unfortunately, he doesn't have any inspiration right now. It has been a while since someone submitted something. I guess it's time for me to post another pic of my own navel.

    Love the belching part...too funny! And I hear you on the fuu fuu drinks...although I do enjoy a nice glass of wine if it's not a vodka and tonic or a beer :o)

    You really do look like a girly-girl!

    So you must be hiding all this stuff on your list pretty well! ;-)
