Please Introduce Yourself, Let's All Get To Know Each Other
@Dips - I seriously doubt there is an Official Manhood Book. Cause if there is, there should be one for women too, and I've never seen one of those either...

welcome to my group of happy people, they will cheer you up everyday, and make you feel better.
I do hope we can make you smile through the bad days as well as the good days.

Lol thanks! I think..
@ DoodlePanda - I am sure there is one. But we men have not been able to infiltrate into the gospel that was written and gets updated in the Powder Rooms.@ Sean - Helloooos!!! Promise to give Marie fits of laughter.
@ Daniel & DoodlePanda - There IS an Official Manhood Rules Transcript. Check inbox.
Of course there's an offical "Man-Book". We also have secret meetings.Pink drinks are borderline...but you never, NEVER put fruit in beer.
@ Mike - Ha ha ha ha .... no Sangrila for us ..... High five.
@Dips - should you be sharing this with me? You are aware I'm not male, right..?
@ DoodlePanda - We are not as secretive as the ladies. We are a transparent species. This Rule Book was written so that you ladies don't have to search high and low for "What Men Want".
Dipanjan wrote: "@ DoodlePanda - We are not as secretive as the ladies. We are a transparent species. This Rule Book was written so that you ladies don't have to search high and low for "What Men Want"."Men aren't that tricky... I have more problems understanding women to be honest... So technically I need the Official Womanhood Guide more...
@ DoodlePanda - The International Council Of Manhood Rules will be glad to hire your services to infiltrate into the depths of "Powder Room" gatherings (where we believe such a book lies in its existence). Its the quest for the Holy Grail.
No, guys (here I mean real guys) are pretty much, "what you see is what you get"I have a good friend who likes sci/fi movies and his wife doesn't. I'm a widower so we go to sci/fi or superhero movies together. We always buy a large popcorn and place it in the seat between us.
"Guys who are friends can go to movies together but never actually sit next to each other. There should always be an empty seat between them." This seat can of course contain snacks.
I've been enlightened ,I am forever grateful to Dips for sharing these rules, although I will say that they do not mention pink drinks, only fruity ones :D
I recon I wouldn't follow the Womanhood Rules anyways.. It seems it would probably involve a lot of pink and handbags and shoes...
@ Malina - Ha ha ha. But it does mention that "Thou Shalt Not Have A Car That Is Pink".@ Ruth - I attended a group of women activists once and this is how it went.
Who are you - Women.
What do you want - We don't know
When do you want it - NOW.
I rest my case.
@ DoodlePanda - Add "shopping is NOT a sport for us Men".
You got the shoes part correct, pink and handbags blah!
Don't get me started on shopping... horrible...Unless it involves books or games...
@ Malina - One of the "horrors" I had to experience today was Answer at least a 100 times "Do you think I look good in this shoe or that shoe". I didn't know "Shoe Shopping" was a part of "Domestication Of Dipanjan".
Women shop...Men hunt.
A woman will set out thinking she's looking for a top. She'll go to 10 places buy shoes, a purse, a skirt and scarf. She'll try on tops at each place and either not buy a top or go back to the first place and buy the first top she tried on. All this time her husband/boyfriend will be standing or sitting by holding her purse (the one she started with) and all the purchases.
A man will note he needs a shirt and go to the place he always buys his shirt and buy the same shirt he's bought before as he knows it fits and he likes that color anyway.
Or he'll go online and send for it.

I at least spare my hubby from the torture, I go by myself and I'm very efficient! I spend more time in the bookstores though....

I spent hours (probably adds up to years) following my wife around. When the kids came I would take them and wander around other parts of the store while she tried stuff on. This of course was okay if I was near a book or sporting-goods store. I looked at more guns, books and toys than I ever suspected existed.

Gina wrote: "Hi everyone! I joined the other day, and thought I would pop in to say hello. Like the rest of you here, I love reading! But, mystery/thrillers are by far my favorite. I'm never without a book or..."Welcome to a great group, Gina! I have a question for you. I know there are a lot of folks in this grouo who read at least 2-4 books at the same time. I understand having an audiobook going when a book or kindle cannot be held or when in the car, but what are other reasons for having so many going on at the same time?
Minnesota, Chris
For me there are several reasons: short attention span, slow part if a book I want to finish, what I'm in the mood to read, sometimes it's the middle of the night and instead of a pulp book I read a Ebooks so I don't disturb anyone with the light.
Lace wrote: "For me there are several reasons: short attention span, slow part if a book I want to finish, what I'm in the mood to read, sometimes it's the middle of the night and instead of a pulp book I read ..."OK, thanks, Lace.
Yes, I can only focus and direct my full attention with one book at a time.
Mod
I normally only do 1 book at the time as well, though sometimes I read a manga at the same time, which is technically a book too i guess..
I usually have two going, different genres, one on my kindle and a paperback
I always have one Audiobook and one going on my kindle. I have one going that I am reading to my kids and a fourth if you count the Uncle John's Bathroom Reader :)
I can only manage two myself. Usually an audiobook I listen to during the day and either something I have on the Kindle or an actual book. I switch between the kindle and physical books.
Mod
Can only concentrate on one load of characters, and plot !!
Mod
Hello people! My name is Erza, sorta. I live somewhere in the U.S.. I have a job, and I am a violist, pianist, and I will soon play the bagpipes. I love Harry Potter, Divergent, Doctor Who, and Fairy Tail. I am the eldest in my family, so it's my responsibility to be prepared for anything. Someday, I getting a new job as an author or a governor of my home state. Then I plan on becoming president.
I, don't laugh or call me crazy, actually take ten or eleven books at a time. I find is perfectly simple to remember the plot of each book. But then again, three of the books are always ones I've read at least seven times. To be perfectly honest, I've read a grand total of two thrillers in my life. But one of them I loved and I have almost memorized it.
So, hi!
