| Perhaps if you had any sort of logic and reasoning skills, you would not be asking such a ridiculous question. |

| Since you're soooo interested, I'll answer. For myself anyway. toilet paper: I don't do the glove thing. But yes, I probably use more than my past bfs. I don't actually watch them wipe their a**- I'm just making an educated guess based on the skid marks I've noticed in a number of ex bf's undies they've left on my bathroom floor. I would venture to guess they could stand to use a little more paper. Weddings: I agree that the wedding industry is out of control. But men are materialistic too. I never even wanted a diamond ring, because I think a shiny rock is a huge waste of money that I'd rather use towards starting a new life together. I enjoy jewelry, but a crystal looks just as nice. My ex fiance insisted I have a large diamond ring. His reason? He was in business, and said people would notice if my ring wasn't "up to par" and judge our success on it. But you probably wouldn't have voiced a criticism to him. Cell phones: This is just stupid. Yes, I talk plenty on the phone. I have replaced the battery once in 2.5 years. It cost less than $20. Is it really practical to cut all your conversations short and pay for minutes you don't use, just to save that $17.50 over almost 3 years?Water: I do wash the dishes under running water, not sitting water. I've noticed most people (male and female) find this unusual. But culturally, still water has been somewhat taboo for people of my cultural background, and considered very unclean. And I think they're right, it's not hygienic to "wash" dishes in a puddle of their own dark filth. But I don't let it run the whole time. I turn it on when necessary, and off while scrubbing. The entire country is not in danger of running out of water. We don't all get our water from the same source. Some areas have droughts sometimes. My area of the country is not at all prone to droughts. Food: I take home everything I don't eat. Mainly because I grew up having to go hungry at times. I've dated rich men who I've noticed waste food a lot too. But I don't come to the conclusion that all men are like this. But of course, you're not really interested. You're just angry and bigoted and this is the only way you know how to deal with it. Sad.Edit: I'm glad to hear that. I do agree with you STRONGLY on one point- the wedding industry has driven women insane. I don't put all the blame on women though, I also blame the industry for targeting them so ruthlessly. When I was planning a wedding, there were many people who tried to make me feel shamed or implied that my wedding must not mean much to me, since I wasn't willing to go into debt for one day. The diamond industry also has gone to great lengths to get women obsessed with the size and quality of their diamonds. They got involved with the movie industry and basically created the tradition of the "surprise" diamond ring at the proposal, because they found that, before that, if women were included in the ring buying process, they were more likely to consider the economic impact it would have on their new marriage and choose a smaller diamond. There's a great book called "the meaning of wife" that touches on this issue at times. |

| Oh you! Stop stereoytping all women, will ya? First of all, I hate using the phone. I have to make sure my hubby keeps his charged....I only do the necessary wrap around of T.P., thank you. My hubby folds that stuff like he's gonna use it later to write a book!... I don't leave the water on to do dishes or brush my teeth. My hubby takes half hour showers!...And when it comes to food, I'm a pig! I weigh 125, but I can give the hubby a run for his money at chow time! At a restaurant, I even eat the decorative parsley...good for the breath....and as far a big weddings go, gotta agree with ya there. Got married in Reno...twice. |

| Que?You are far from being a hippy - peace, love and harmony is foreign to you isn't it?And why would someone want to talk to someone like you who is going to talk down on them? I mean, judging from what you post you don't like anything - especially women!And about the food thing - you'd be calling us FAT ASSES or telling us to watch our weight if we ATE everything on the plate.You need to smoke a bowl and MELLOW OUT MAN!!! |

| Hate to break it to you, but having a lack of conservational sense isn't unique to women any more than promiscuity is unique to men. There are plenty of people of both genders that are guilty. |

| Maybe beause the ones that DO have a sense of conversation do not want to spend their time conversing with someone like YOU? |
