And she didn't even show anything much. But then Danish princesses tend to be beautiful.
Women usually don't understand this kind of behavior. I think they don't have that kind of addiction, not to that degree. For us men, it's like living in starvation and then finding yourself in a room with a huge, luxurious free buffet which only opens in 20 minutes. It's inhumane to expect you to just ignore it.
The odd thing, and little known fact, is that "eating" (if you catch my subtle metaphor here) really never satisfies, though one continues to believe it will. It's a no-win game.
Plus you crave different foods at different times.
ReplyDelete>>>> Women usually don't understand this kind of behavior. <<<
ReplyDeleteI agree, but then I wonder why most women dress to draw attention? Everything is subtle, tempting, intriguing, detailed; they were bikinis, tangas, mini skirts, their dresses should be different, they wear high heels, make up, spend on hairdressers. I don't mean to be cynical but it could very well be comical.
On the other hand the reason "eating" never satisfies is because it's meant to be that way. The parts of their body they let you see are interesting, but they don't let you see the most important parts. The moment it satisfies, men lose interest. Why do you think women wear clothes and aren't totally naked ? Could it be because their female intuition or because they know for a fact that they "catch" (subtle metaphor here) more men or in plain English, because it is the most efficient way to make their contribution to the continuation of the human race?

he could have been looking at her necklace, its rather ornate and complex, I think making the assumption that he was looking at something else because he was a man says alot about the presumer
ReplyDelete"I agree, but then I wonder why most women dress to draw attention?"
ReplyDeleteIndeed, one of the big mysteries of life.
Maybe he needs a DOMAI subscription.
ReplyDeleteDanish princesses tend to be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think so. Danes in general are not. They have, like most Europeans, that weird kind of inbred look.
Mary, born in Australia with Scottish heritage, does not look very Danish to me.
ReplyDeleteThey rarely are. That's probably how they can be so pretty.

ReplyDeleteI understand that often, beautiful women suffer from being beautiful. They dress beautifully because they love to, not to attract men. They often don´t want men to get close to them.
ReplyDeleteIf I were a woman, I´d dress beautifully and I´d wear beautiful accessoires, because I´d love to decorate my beautiful female body, but not to attract the tiresome courting of men (although, admittedly, it´d make me even more proud of my own body).
As the man that I am, I still love to decorate myself with anklets, wearing a ponytail etc, but I´m not overdoing it because people would start talking.
They dress beautifully because they love to, not to attract men.
ReplyDeleteNewsflash. The only reason a woman would dress "beautifully" is to attract men - or other women. That's the whole purpose of fashion. Wake up.
Always good to hear from you, Monsieur Beep.

ReplyDeleteWhy? Do you enjoy hearing people talk out of their ass?
It's funny ! :)
ReplyDeleteI think this subject has already been brought up here.
A big difference is that women have wider sight angle, so they don't need to turn their eyes and head towards the point they are looking at. So they can peek at men unnoticed, or at least in a much more subtle way.
Research on beaches showed that women peek as much as men. They just do it better.
And they cannot figure out why men cannot peek in a more subtle way. I mean: when men peek in a visible way, women think: why does he want everybody to know?
It's a book by Allan and Barbara Pease:
"Why men don't listen and women can't read maps."
The title sounds quite stupid, but the book is great and funny. :)
So that's the recommendation for today ! A lot of great mysteries are addressed in that book. It's really a good book for any woman wanting to communicate with men, and vice versa :)
Thought men should have learned that their ways are very visible, and should control their eyes in royal company ! :)
ReplyDeleteThat book is a must!
ReplyDeleteI'll get it when it's out as ebook.
ReplyDeleteWait... I found it in the US iBooks store. (Where I can shop, unlikely with Amazon, where I'm stuck with the UK store, where this book is not yet out as ebook.) Bought it.
Thanks Anna and MB.
Cool, have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWeird, I couldn't find it on my iPad, though I had sync'ed. I had to actually Restore the iPad, clear it and install everything from scratch.
ReplyDeleteBut I have it now, and it seem quite promising.
They say how difficult it was to get anybody to talk about differences between genders. I can believe it. Remember my "gadgets are to men what shoes are to women" gag? After it appeared on Online Photographer, one of their prominent writers wrote to me and forced me to apologize for saying that! I'm guessing he thought it was misogynistic.
Oh yeah, I remember. Did you apologize?
ReplyDeleteYeah, new globalization-lovers want everything to be alike. MacDonald's everywhere, Coca-Cola, and no male-female difference any more.
I remember not a danish I talked to long long ago told me that in Denmark
- young people leave home at the age of 18 and are taken care by the state
- elder people go +- automatically to a retreat house when they are old.
And a friend who lived in Danmark said that the magazines are full of pictures of happy united families that old lonely people do and buy in the shops.
Ok, this is maybe an exaggeration.. But tell me, do you find some truth in this? And to what extent?
Well, DK is a big nanny state. But the exact extend I couldn't say.
ReplyDelete[Yes, Blogger has sometimes double-posted comments recently.]
ReplyDeleteI did apologize, which did make him a lot happier.
Anna, your comments apply equally to Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland: all socialistic nanny states. Although Denmark may be the worst of all in this regard.
ReplyDeleteThe saddest part of it is that the rest of world looks up to these countries as some kind of an ideal. For example, Finland's education system was copied from East Germany in the 1970s, and it is now considered everywhere to be the best in the world. My ass! (If it wouldn't be so sad, this would actually be a good joke.)
I'd have a lot to say about this subject, but I'll leave it at that for now.
Thanks Timo for the feedback!
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I, from afar as I have not lived there, don't actually have problems with a state caring about its citizen. Though I mentioned it here in the same "box" as the gender issue, it is probably not related to it... Or is it? I dunno.
So : the state taking care of its citizen is maybe weird for me if it is compulsory to leave your family, but if it is a possibility, why not. -- So, do people HAVE TO go away from their families at 18? or it is just designed in a way that it is simple?
What seems more appalling is that, well, friends (boys) who lived there many years told there was no way to build a couple with a Danish girl, because the gender roles are just so different. It seems that male and female have to be the same. And well, it sounds right, but does not work, they said.
And I have met one Danish girl in France, and damn she was "feminist" (whatever that means). Angry at every man that would utter a compliment to her.
Well, I think a nanny state that would allow boys and girls to be different and complete each other would be a wonderful place ! :)
So, do people HAVE TO go away from their families at 18? or it is just designed in a way that it is simple?
ReplyDeleteThe latter. At 19 I just found a place to live, and went and asked for support and got it.
There has been programs later to make it harder to just sit around, one has to prove one is looking for work etc. If they've stuck, I dunno.

Yes, from what I hear, Denmark is about leading in that sort of wrong-headed "egalitarianism".
And I have met one Danish girl in France, and damn she was "feminist" (whatever that means). Angry at every man that would utter a compliment to her.
Yes, many like that. Very sad. And mixed up. Like shouting in the face of somebody who offered you cake.
Interesting ! :)
ReplyDeleteTalking about compliments... Of course, it depends about the situation. If the compliment implies that the guy wants something, and accepting the compliment means accepting to have something with the guy, then it is safer to be slightly aggressive.
But, well, I think compliments are usually nice and free, without obligations. So that was the funny thing in that Danish girl, that she was not seeing it like this. But, hey, it's another culture. :)

ReplyDeleteThe sexual roles being screwed up is not fundamentally caused by the nanny state. But the nanny state is the enabler, so to speak.
The real reasons are deeper and more complex. The issues of PC and the religion of multiculturalism are related to this.
You could say that the male sex has been mentally castrated. And it is done very deliberately and for long term strategic reasons.
