No, but like I said, this was meant to be a counter-thread to the threads that express resentment of the opposite sex.

I do love everyone though. Even the ones that piss me off. :wink:

To love everyone is to devalue love itself.

I don't know what your definition of love is, but it's different than mine.

Btw , this thread is turning to a "How do you like the opposite sex" ...and in a sexual way and not "what do you like about the opposite sex" (that question might also includes my mother and my sister or any of my female relatives).

Now , this is officially another stupid clone thread.

Some women here for example are stating of loving big masculine hand and strong arms in men , not all people of the male gender have big masculine hands or strong muscular arms , male kids don't have big arms , your old fathers might not have big arms , your male best friend might be a hobbit too.

Well yes. I did default to the sexual (I put in natural smell- not Axe or Old Spice or anything artificial) mainly because I can't think of anything so broad that it encompasses my husband, my grandfather, and the 3 year old boy at the end of the street who rides his trike up and down the sidewalk. Wonderful people all, but the only thing they have in common is XY. Which I suppose is why you put in XX. If you make it so broad that it encompasses literally every single member of the opposite sex, XX or XY is the only thing you can say. The negativity has all been around attraction (or lack thereof) so it only makes sense for counteracting positivity to also be about attraction.

Thank you.

I wanted people to say something nice about the opposite sex. If the best thing someone can come up with is "boobs," they've got problems.

What's wrong with boobs? I think they are loveable. Sure, women have a lot of other good qualities. But what's wrong with boobs?

how mean.

ok, but based on what boo said I'm struggling to think of something all of the male species has in common, regardless of whether you're talking about physical or non-physical traits :?. give us a clue

Maybe some of us don't know how to sum up all that we think/feel about women? It's not that we can't come up with something we just can't make it an answer that satisfies us.

They're personalities... I mean everyone is different and no two guys (or girls) have the same personality, but there is a generic difference between how men and women think... (yes, yes, some women think in a more masculine manner, and some guys think in a more feminine manner, I know)

I just relate to guys a lot more than women... they're typically more objective rather than subjective thinkers... don't let emotions cloud their thinking as much, don't fret constantly about what others think about every little thing, are generally more confident and less emotionally dependent, and my interests usually match up with theirs than the typical female...

Of course everyone is different and it can't encompass it all, so its stereotypical in its self, but I don't really care what they look like, or smell like (would prefer not to have to smell their BO, but that's a cleanliness issue), or that they have a penis, (although I admit, I much prefer guys voices to girls), but rather the way I can relate and deal with them because of who they are...

Almost all my friends are guys, and even when there're girls around, we just don't seem able to click... (and this includes older people too, I get along with my grandfather way moreso than grandmothers, in fact both of them irk me to no end, get along with my uncles more than my aunts, cousins.... I don't really get along with at all >.> (probably because they're all so young and bratty and kids and UGH I HATE-scratchthat-DISLIKE CHILDREN)

Its very hard to put into words... I'm completely unable to identify personality traits and explain things... if you were to ask me what my father is like, my mother, my friends... I just wouldn't be able to explain "well he's nice.... and he likes ___ and ___ and ___" so can list interests, but can't really list personality traits... but there is a similarity amongst [most] men, and a similarity amongst [most] women, myself included; so that is what I like....

Otherwise, their voices are certainly more comforting/nicer sounding XD (*generally*)

Your actual wording was "what do you love about the opposite sex?" To that specific question, "boobs" is a perfectly reasonable answer. You didn't ask people to "say something nice", you asked them what they love. Given that all the hostility you were trying to counteract was about attraction, it only stands to reason that the positivity will be about attraction too.

How can there be a wrong answer to the question "what do you love about the opposite sex"? It's a taste preference. There's no such thing as a wrong taste preference.

Beauty -- not just the face, or the body, but the whole myriad of female looks and body types. I've liked faces that other men haven't, have appreciated beauty where others ignored it or did not see it, liked body types that would have turned off many others. I love the visual aspects of women like a car aficionado likes his favorite classic and new models.

Humor -- I love a woman who loves to laugh, who can think of funny things to say, who thinks what I have to say is funny.

Their smell -- I love smelling the skin of a woman I'm attracted to. Her hair, her scalp, her back, her chest, everything.

Her body -- the parts she has that I don't, her muscle tone, the feel of her body under my hands.

Attitude -- Attitude goes a long way. I love a woman with a good personality, one that plays nice with mine and is sensitive to my needs, as much or more than how I am to hers.

And yes, the "wiggle in the walk" -- love it!

I love women so much, I could publish a blog on the beautiful/attractive women of all shapes, sizes and colors I see every day.

Sure, "boobs" is a perfectly reasonable answer, when faced with my original question.

But here's my point:

List of bad things I've seen people write about women on these boards:

"They play mind games."
"They Have it so much easier than we [men] do."
"They're abusing us by refusing sex."

Now, how does it sound if someone says any of those things, but then says "Oh, but I do like their boobs," like it's supposed to "cancel out" or something?
