I know us men are in the midst of a war with the ladies, but I came across this today and couldn't resist sharing it. I think the men should get bonus points for this one.....<P>WHY GUYS LIKE GIRLS<P>They will always smell good even if its just shampoo <P>The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder <P>How cute they look when they sleep <P>The ease in which they fit into our arms <P>The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world <P>How cute they are when they eat <P>The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end it makes it all worth while <P>Because they are always warm even when its minus thirty outside <P>The way they look good no matter what they wear <P>The way they fish for compliments even though you both know that you think she's the most beautiful thing on this earth <P>How cute they are when they argue <P>The way her hand always finds yours <P>The way they smile <P>The way you feel when you see their name on the call display after you just had a big fight <P>The way she says "lets not fight anymore" even though you know that an hour later.... <P>The way they kiss when you do something nice for them <P>The way they kiss you when you say "I love you' <P>Actually... just the way they kiss you... <P>The way they fall into your arms when they cry <P>Then the way they apologize for crying over something that silly <P>The way they hit you and expect it to hurt <P>Then the way they apologize when it does hurt ..(even though we don't admit it!) <P>The way they say "I miss you" <P>The way you miss them <P>The way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesn't hurt her anymore <P>Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them... it matters not. Because<BR>once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound, you know that your own life is inevitable consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons, No paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart. A feeling. Only felt.<P>Jayhawk

Jayhawk,<P>Ok, I don't know about the other women but you guys can have some brownie points from me for that one! <P>Just don't go getting the idea that I've let my guard down! <P>Mitzi

Jayhawk 93<P>Beautiful writing!!! Got me....hook, line and sinker! Reading it, sure makes a gal miss:<P> "having The ease in which they fit into our arms". <P>Sorry girls, I've got to give this one to the guys! <P>Jayhawk, keep what you've shared for a reference. It will most certainly meet and beat the EN's of a lucky lady in your future.<P>Sorry again girls!<P>Ragamuffin<p>[This message has been edited by Ragamuffin (edited November 04, 2000).]

Whoa, very nice, but you're not talking about my STBX. <BR>

The way they can look at you & make you feel like the most important man on earth.<P>The way they touch you & make you feel warm, wanted and needed.<P>The way they look when they want to be the most beautiful woman in the world, for you only.<P>The sound of their voice when they say "I love you"<P>The way their breath feels on your skin.<P>The feeling you get when they're lying next to you asleep, knowing that they feel safe, secure and loved because they're with you.<P>What guys really like about girls is that special way they can make us feel about ourselves, that no one or nothing else can.<P>It takes a woman to make a man feel like a man...<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain and makes the sun come out again<p>[This message has been edited by c00ker (edited November 05, 2000).]

WOW!! You guys really do like girls!! <P>Mitzi

Yes, <P>My sensitive side is winning out against my "he-man woman haters club side" <P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain and makes the sun come out again

Woke up early this morning, rains coming down, poured a cup of coffee, rubbed my eyes and thought "did I really read this last night"?<P>I thought, oh heck, the "Saturday night - single home - alone" got to me. Then cOOker ADDS to the thread. UGHHH! You guys keep this up and there will be a bunch of computer monitors having a melt down!!!<P>Ragamuffin

Jayhawk, you are a treasure.<P>Speaking only for myself here, you don't only get brownie points, you win. <P>And if you give me a minute to wipe the tears out of my eyes, I would be more than happy to return the favor.<P>CJ

Ok,Guys that did make up for the other threads. <P>Yep,I could let the guys have some points for that one!<P>I can only say for my self that one day I will been lucky enough to have a man feel that way towards me.[well,a woman can dream right?]<P>Gina <P><P>------------------<BR>"If we deny love that is given to us,if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss,then our lives will be empty,our loss greater!"-----Anonymous----

Yes Ladies, we really do love girls...or..um...Women. <P>Ladies, these sentiments on this thread ring so very true. It is too bad that our ex's are too self-centered to reap the rewards from of our growth.<P>Bill

Ladies, I can only take credit here for posting these things. I agree with them, but I did not author the list. I just know where to look to find these things.<P>I'm not taking credit for someone else's hard work. Whoever did come up with this list was 100% dead on though.<P>I think Nick's statement says it all, "It takes a woman to make a man feel like a man..."

I'm away from my computer for a good potion of the weekend and look what gets posted! Jayhawk... even though you might not have been the author, it was very touching and moving. Thanks for sharing it! And yes... you do get bonus points for that one! -Java

Oooohhhhhh..... I just got warm fuzzies. <P>You guys not only get brownie points.... you get warm fuzzie points too.<P>B
