LumbarPuncture : My experience is that women who say they want to date like a man or hook-up like a man are lying. It’s just a defense mechanism. They’re secretly yearning for closeness/affection but don’t want to risk getting hurt so they mask it with “meaningless” hook-ups.

And this is different from why men do it, how?!

I just discovered your site (I was led to it by an article you wrote on Jay-Z/Marriage on The Root.com) and I am amused! I love that you write so candidly about your relationships. This piece deserved a comment because #1 – I do hope that it’s a joke and #2 I truly believe that men and women are necessarily different. Our balance is in our Yin and Yang. Your list is cute, however I rarely see that play out well in the long run in any relationship. Men want WOMEN and Women want MEN- period. Your list is what your boy’s are for not for your woman to impersonate a man. I am completely with what @Teach It and @Nicolaspeaks said. And by the way, I don’t think that I do things the “hard way”, I find my femininity and natural receptivity to masculinity quite easy and divine.
Keep writing….your male perspective is necessary Peace

Hilarious. I personally love points 2 and 3.

@ Skye

Maybe if you stopped doing things the “hard way” you might get different (better?) results.

… as I was saying…

I had a female version of that list once, until a guy said, “So basically you want a woman with facial hair?” {Sigh} Yep, the list died that day when he put it that way.

I was riding smooth reading this post til I came across #3 like a bump in the road. My gut reaction nearly took me by surprise as one word somehow escaped my lips… “Daayumm” (you know, “Damn” but with a bit more “ouch” to it). I mean, my goodness, you don’t want to talk to the girl? C’mon! That sounds more like some neanderthal-type relationship to me. What, are y’all gruntin’ & drawing on the walls and sh*t?

But I digress… I enjoyed the post. Really. I had a female

Which of these is serious?
I am not afraid to murk a bug. A bird flew into my house once. That was startling.

I must be of a different species or the first of new breed because I already do most of these things, or at least what I think is the best version. I watch SportsCenter and can have a conversation about most sports like the big boys. I pick up the tab, especially if I was the one who invited you. I call him as much as he calls me, no less, no more. I will not fight over you…if you need to talk to someone else, go be with them. If it was a harmless conversation, then as I am leaving, you’ll follow. I will kill small things, everything else deserves a professional. Strong enough to be a man, but I’m a woman.
