living with the opposite sex for 1st time

Jules

Apparently going to the toilet, for men, is like an epic battle, which they are happy to openly discuss. Have not come across the laptop in there though. There are a few copies of pc building mags and that in there.

And as for the comment about the washing up not being finished till dishes are put away, i tend to disagree. The washing up portion of the dishes is finshed but the dishes are not done.... if you get me...

I hate washing up cutlery!

It would be a bit pointless! The drips don't adhere much to the outside of the peehole, wiping wouldn't get rid of the drops just inside so a little shake is necessary.

LOL at this thread btw

But...doesn't the shake transfer some to the outside?

Why don't men shake and then wipe/dab/whatever?

Count how many wiping material options are available at the urinal wall. Zero.
That said, I dab after a shake when at home.

That's why I just take mine over to the hand dryer when I'm finished going.

ok I don't know anything about any of that stuff [seriously what is a bobble?]

It's a bobbin or a bobble.
It comes from Victorian times when women adorned their hair with trinkets.

Also alice band comes from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Alice was frequently drawn with a hair band, known as an Alice Band.

What I didn't know about men before living with one..

1)They take their habits from their mothers.
With the exception of getting up in the middle of the night on a well jarred evening and pissing in the fresh laundry basket mistaking it for a urinal.

Deep sleep random location pissing. DSRLP, similar to REM.

2)They wash a lot. A hell of a lot more than you expect.

3)They get piles from sitting on the toilet too long.

4)They hoard reading material. Any reading material even if its a flyer from random passerbyers.

5)They sleep more than babies.

6)They can't actually fix things.

Other than that nothing much was a surprise.

Shaking is surprisingly effective. Plus we don't have to deal with the myriad of vaginal discharge fluids

Ginny

Hmmmm both my exs wiped when at home, I'm assuming they didn't at urinals though.

Cornbb, if a woman has a myriad of discharges she might need to see a doctor.

I've never lived with an SO, but I'm living with 3 male friends at the moment, 1 of whom I share a bathroom with. We tend to keep the stuff we use most frequently on the end of the bath.

My list: 1 shower gel
1 bottle of shampoo
1 bottle of conditioner
Face scrub
Razor
1 rubber duckie with a doobie, shades and rasta hat
1 shower puff

His list: 2 shower gels
3 or 4 cans of shave gel (these all over the bathroom)
3 or 4 shampoos
4 bottles of conditioner, most empty
Razor
Funny looking soap.
2 shower puffs and a sponge

my girlfriend and myself are travelling around the world and this is the first time we have lived with a member of the opposite sex in such close proximity. so i've been finding stuff out about girls which i never knew before (should mention that i only have brother and she only has sisters) like what a pumice stone is

I couldn't believe about the stone, my gf hurt me with that damn thing dammit.

I hate this being able to fix things MYTH. :mad:

5)They sleep more than babies.

How do guys sleep this much? My boyfriend can fall asleep in 0.5 seconds, quite infuriating for a pseudo-insomniac.

Also I never realised the epidemic that is Man-Flu

I agree with bug and pyjamarama on this one. My bf can fall asleep as soon as the light is turned out, no matter how early it is while I lie there awake worrying about things!

All I ever get when I moan I can't get to sleep is 'close your eyes and stop thinking about stuff'. It's not that simple!!

number 2's are such a big deal for men cause they all have awful diets and constant mild constipation.

Acually I find my time in the jaxx is more of an excuse to sit on my ass for as long as I like reading a good book or just zoning. Its a mans ME time.
I also take personal pride in the amount of toilets I've blocked. The running total is somewhere in the region of 12.

Perhaps that's it as as a male I certainly don't feel any compulsion to sit there reading (can't be hygenic if nothing else!!!), I go in, get done and clean, wash hands and get out. Why you'd want to sit in a bathroom to read when there are plenty of more comfy places to do so is beyond me.

Have to kind of suspect that the reading material in question may just be a camoflage for other "reading material".:rolleyes:

I do tend to patt-dry the end with tissue after peeing.

I don't sleep that much, maybe 6-7 hrs weekdays, up to 9 on weekends.

I can fix things, it obviously depends on what the thing is though as some stuff I wouldn't know enough about. So fixing things depends on the male.

And I've never contracted this man flu thing, but then I rarely get sick.

Not sure what misconceptions about girls I have as I've sisters (speaking of which I put my clothes in a laundry basket when done with them, they toss them on the floor, so that one again is an unfair generalisation based upon one person!) so I think that filled in some of the major blanks & incorrect data.

Maybe that hormones only made women dangerously (for guys) moody for part of the cycle.
