Yes...Why Do Men

adjust their crotches in public? Massive movement in the area or what?

Seems to me they just plain itch down there....

Hey, I'd rather see them go for a scratch down below than see them pick thier nose!

You got that right, Sloane! lol I think they're just digging there parts loose. Makes me thing they're packin something down there. Then again, I think they do it out of habit and to make women look!!!

Then again, why do men do anything? Because they are men! They don't need a reason. That's like asking why do women shop! Because it's fun!!! Men have simplier requirements i.e. farting, digging at their balls, and watching naked lesbians getting it on. After a while, you don't even give a s*** anymore. You go to one end of the house and he's on the other! Works for me!!! lol

I thought they were adjusting to a more comfortable position because they were aroused by our sexy bodies being in the same room.
I wonder what they would think if we adjusted and scratched our boobs as often as they do their hangy downy parts! Hmm, I'll have to try it the next time and check out the reaction!

I think they would be repulsed because I know that I am!!! Geez, have some class...just because they're disgusting pigs(not allof them), doesn't mean we have to follow the same path!

LOL---I think men do this for hundreds of different reasons--none of which are good ones. For God's sake, not in PUBLIC!! I don't care how itchy or horny you are--generally these are two human ailments that should always be remedied in private! And I don't know of a woman in her right mind who gets turned on when a guy scratches/adjusts his genitals. Bad, bad, bad. Do you think men would like it if women scratched their crotches in public? Well, actually, the crotch-fondling ones would probably love it. Yucky.

So sad, the romantic glamorous days of Doris Day and Sandra Dee and their handsome leading men have been replaced with guys who pick their nose and scratch in public. No wonder we are career women and can not find that one special guy to make the dreams come true.

P.S. That was a rather tacky statement about the boobs. I apologize!

Yeah, but so what who cares; its true!!!

It's okay if men want to do whatever pleases them; I don't mind, but why should I have to wait until he goes to bed before I bring my stuff in from the car(that I bought). They always make you feel so guilty about spending money!! So, I make him feel guilty about farting on the furniture; what do you think is worse?

I didn't realize there was anyone else out there that had to wait until "they" went to bed before you could bring a package in from the car! Well, for the exception of my mother, and she is Libra also. I have always worked and put my checks in with my spouses and still did that to keep the peace.
I am single now and though I do get lonely sometimes I believe it is best to live alone when you feel such a need to keep the peace. It's a lot easier on the psyche.

This is true.

I swear, men can be so icky.

I love them, but for God's sake.

Isn't there nothing better and more wonderful than a classy, clean-cut guy who would rather die than have you see him doing something gross? I'm a huge sucker for those types. Of course, they're usually gay or taken, in which case I have to slowly back away from the man...lol

No wonder I like gay men so much...lol
Sigh

You're right Phoenix. I have a philosophy that all men should adhere to: A man just needs to be two things: clean and humble.

Oh, come on. I like the sick and gross types. They gives me something to b**** about, and we all love to bitch, right!!!

No, not all of us--that's why men complain about us chicks nagging. I don't like to be grossed out.

I just met the nicest Libra guy last week. He has been divorced for a year and seems to have it altogether. (What's wrong with this picture?) He called yesterday and asked if he could come to town and work on my car because he noticed it was missing and said he wanted to tune it up. He wouldn't take no for an answer. He arrived at 9:30 am and invited me out for breakfast, came back and fixed the car, then we spent the day browsing the gift shops and a crystal shop. He was charming and not at all pushy.
He invited me out for a cocktail after we returned to my apartment and I declined because I had to work graveyard.
While we were saying goodbye in the parking lot and he was telling me he would like to come back over in a week and would I go out with him when he did this nice looking lady from my complex walks by and he turns on the charm and says, "Well, hello there!" Mind you, nice looking not a 10. It took him right down to a 3 as he watched her walk all the way around the building and out of sight. Then he turns around and grins that beautiful smile again, and says, "I don't know if I can wait a week to see you again."
Ya know, I believe he might have made a better impression if he just scratched or farted. Oh well, another one bit the dust!

Hey 198 friend...

Ok, I'm a Libran myself and this is not surprising at all for a Libran man to act this way. Libran men like to look at women--we have an affinity for beauty and all things lovely to look at. Pleasae don't take it too seriously. You could ask him gently: "Do you always check out women that way when you're with another woman?" You should really ask him that but be diplomatic--we libs know about diplomacy. If he asks you if it offended you a bit, tell him honestly that yes it did. Saying hello to another woman is not the problem, however, watching her walk down the street till she disappears is coming off as if he is ignoring you. As you tell him this, don't make a mountain out of a molehill though. Give him one more chance--remember he fixed your car--that sounds like a true friend.

I think it was totally rude. The guy practically broke his neck. A quick glance is one thing, but to keep gawking until she was out of sight was down right rude!!! Especially since they were just starting to know one another. It would have been different if they had been together for a long time. I usually get a kick out of it when men drool over a good looking women. I think it's funny to watch them; they get this funny little smile. When I catch them and they know it, we both have to laugh!!!

I don't mind them flirting as long as they're comin home to me. Although, I have to say not having any man in my life has been equally enjoyable. I like having my own space and only seeing one when I desire, works for me too.

Will ya look at that, now I am having conversations with myself. What a mess!!! Why is it, when you type something it all looks good until you post and come back and re-read it. With out fail I find at least 5 or more mistakes that stick out like a big ol.....

OK 66. You do have a point there. I am Libra also. I do enjoy flirting as much as the next person. But...when I am with one guy, I don't drool over the fellow in the car next to us. I might acknowledge them and smile, say hi but never stop a conversation to watch him swagger down the block admiring his denim pockets.
I suppose it's really not that serious. I am enjoying a new friendship, not even looking toward a serious relationship, so I will lighten up. Thanx

Thank you 205 for understanding where I was coming from and yes, I understand you enjoying your single life. I am too at this time. It has been great for making some changes in my immediate life. That is why I am being so careful who I allow into my personal space right now. I would like to reflect some laughter and good times with the people I am around instead of the "what did he mean by that?" type of person. If you know what I mean.

Absolutely I understand that! And I will tell you one thing, by taking your time and by being discrimnating with who you share yourself with, you will enjoy the laughter and good times more.

Keep making those observations and never ignore your instincts. If something doesn't sit well with you, listen to what your concious is telling you. That is your center of your power and it is also the way we communicate to our higher power. (God)

That is my opinion and experience!

Hey Susan,
It sounds as if Libra's are all finishing a cycle in self-love. We seem to have a tendency to put others before ourselves then have to deal with the consequences later.
This past week has been a time of personal illumination for me. I took the course, passed the test (even if I didn't understand what part of the experience was about) and have been allowed to take a step up on the ladder.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, because I can certainly identify with everything that you said.
Paula

It does seem like the circle has turned...the completion...self-love? I think so. I feel like I'm satisfied with what I have learned about myself and I'm at peace with it. It's been a very long hard road, never looking up to enjoy the senery much; I was always just looking at how much ground I had in front of me; only putting one foot in front of the other, and concentrating on the distance I had to make. Now I just enjoy being out there and being able to go the distance. That my friend takes endurance and you only get that by strength and determination and knowing what you have and what it takes to get there!

PS: Paula, I know just what you mean by taking the course and passing the test. Good for you!! Keep learning, that's what it's all about!

Susan

Ah yes, the strength and endurance. I am quite familiar with them. It has been a long haul, but it was entirely worth it. I don't see it monetarily as much as I feel it in self-acceptance and fascination that I dealt with the emotional impact of the past. But that was my path.
I am no longer the people pleaser that I was in younger years. I know what I believe in and do not concern myself in justifying or explaining myself as I felt a need to do in the past.
No is sufficient now. There was a time when I would have had to make a lengthy apologetic answer to that word "No".
paula

Paula,

Yes on everything you wrote. I don't apologize anymore. I'm a down right b**** about it now. I had to come down slowly. When I first started applying my new strength, there were certain people that didn't like the new me. They would use every method possible to keep me in my place. It started with guilt and then progressed to verbal abuse. It stopped because I finally started confronting them, and it wasn't pretty. Confrontation is a technique Libras must learn too. We hate arguing, unpleasant people, and environments; we always want everything to be harmonious and peaceful, even at the cost of our own well being.
