One of mine is that during the non exclusive stage, I date anyone I like but I don’t want him to. I never verbalise or try to enforce this because it's ridiculous but it is an unrealistic expectation.

What are yours?

I want him to pursue, I refuse to. I will, however, reciprocate the effort he initiates.

Yeah, that's another one of mine. I do want to be pursued. I want him to take the lead and be assertive in expressing his interest in me.

In my case, I once had a boyfriend who wanted to date other women and me at the same time. We were fwb so i was obviously ok with it. I liked him a bit TOO much, really. I had trouble letting him go :)

In principle, I don't have a problem with fwb relationships but it need to be exclusive. I don't want to have to span a wide area when trying to narrow down who I got what from - not that I don't practice safe sex.

No, I expect nothing I don't give.
Good for the goose, good for the gander.

Exactly which is why I never verbalise or try to enforce what I know to be an unreasonable double standard. I only do that with the ones I deem reasonable j/k

It's good you know the judge :-)

Yep,same here!

All I can say is when I meet someone with double standards they are out the door fast. Maybe faster than fast. I am way, way too busy for the game. Bending the rules is such a huge waste of time. I would choose being alone 20 times over before being around a double standard type of person.

BTW, what's a double standard?

haaa , good question, you should start another thread

I Certainly have some things I expect more out of a man than a woman, although I expect all adults to be CAPABLE of

and there are some I expect more from a woman than a man


,,,thats a type of double standard, Im sure

but wrong is wrong, and that isnt ever gender based
the whats 'wrong' for you to do is fine for me to do mentality is a turn off

The only game that I play is solitaire or spider solitaire or free cell on my computer.

I agree with mish

I would like to be the only that stands up to pee in the relationship.

That's not a double standard ma honey, that's a preference

There must be another way to say that hahaha
other than peeing in the relationship :-)

No, it's more a requirement. I'm flexible on preferences, not on requirements.



I just wouldn't want something to happen like that scene in Mrs.Doubtfire where the son walks in on him peeing.

It is so a double standard.

Have you heard of light standards? They are tall poles with a light bulb on top, which light up highways, and such.

The man in front of the toilet bowl (or behind it, if you want to look at it that way) is standing on TWO legs.

So he is a double standard. That blastard.

Ha! this instant I came up with the idea of an invention which women can use to gain equality with men.

It is a hollow tube, inside diameter about a quarter of an inch, about a foot long, and one end has a hollow suction cup-shaped end, made out of a soft rubbery material, like silicone. The other end is plain and circular.

The woman stands in front of the bowl, with feet slightly apart, strapping her legs. She stays in this post momentarily, enjoying her intimidation of the bowl, in a socially acceptable yet very noticable way. No words get exchanged between the two, yet both get a deep understanding of their roles and pecking order in the set-up.

She unzips her pants, and pushes the end of the larger, softer, wider end of the "tube" to her pee hole, and starts to release her wad. When she is finished, she simply zips up, and shakes the remnants of the yellow liquid from the tube. If she is lucky, the shakes go into the bowl. If she is not lucky, there will be slight spots of liquid on the floor around the bowl. If she does not up up the seat, ... well, go imagine. Don't let me spoonfeed you each and every bit in this story as it goes down.

Good to the last drop.
