Inspired by this video that a friend sent to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG_5DrNvnWI&feature=related I don't know what it is from but whatever.

So apart from money and someone to blame when things go wrong :p what do men bring to a relationship if women are the one's that bring love?

Or more to the point what do you think you bring to a relationship?

Entertainment.

Men in general: usually either practicality or mind altering substances.

Me, personally: romance and practicality.

My husband loves me........also, he's pretty much the only person I don't want to violently kill most days.

I don't do relationships, but hypothetically?

Basic auto mechanics and home repair skill, some skill killing household pests and small animals, clean driving/credit/criminal/medical records. What else is there? :p

In most cases it is the penis and from it the seed of human life.

Until they are able to just use skin, :(


I dont see why I couldnt bring love as well, if I found the right person...

Well it's not as if women are willing to go and kill the goddamn mammoths themselves, are they?

Someone has to open the pickle jar. :tongue:

Ellen Ripley would disagree with that statement.

Beards.

Beards.

A subset of entertainment.

I would argue that entertainment, nay, all life evenn, is actually a subset of beards. *nod*

a sense of security.

^^ This, but women already have dildos and strap-ons....

You know, I honestly don't know what unique things that we bring that a woman can't get from a Sperm bank or another woman.

We're obsolete.

what anyone brings to any relationship has more to do with what's in their heads then what's between their legs.

So then my ability to burp the national anthem of 3 different countries is what I bring to a relationship ?

Yes.
Very yes.
:hail:

Very good question, really.
Love, I guess. Everything else I already had.

Sanity and emotional stability?

Yes, well, everyone knows that there's a difference between fact and fiction, yes?

I mean, I've watched movies about hobbits and wizards, but I don't expect to find them hiding in my bushes.

Well, actually, I do, but usually only when I forget to take my medication.

A lot of action movies and unnecessary knowledge of sportin my experience. And I do all the dishes and makes the coffee which my gf hates to do.

Then that is sad for you Wilgrove, that you have such a low opinion of yourself, and mistakenly equate all men the same as you.(unless of course that was a joke?)

Speaking of jokes, I belive Homer J Simpson, has it right when he say complete and utter dependancy.:D

What I bring to my relationship with my wife, is more or less exactly what she brings me.

Ahh you poor dear, come to London, I'll hook you up wih some of my nicer unattached men freinds.

This question always weirds me out from a grammatical point of view, because it makes it sound like a typical relationship involves Men as an entire collective group.

I'm still getting used to the ups and downs of dating an individual. I'm not ready to date a demographic.

Hehe... you couldn't just send them over here to Cork? Nice holiday, with some shagging?

Look, Men, I'm just in a place in my life right now where I can't commit to a serious relationship with 49% of the Earth's population. Considering that new males are born every day, that's a pretty long-term relationship we're talking about, and I don't know that I can honestly say I'm on board. It's not you, really, it's about me and where I'm at with my career and everything. But life can lead us crazy places, and who knows? Maybe someday your collective gender-identity and I will find happiness together.

Just take any you like from the pics thread ;)

Ohhhh that is good, but not in my house I'm afraid. The kids do that.

Snow shoveling, tire changing, circuit breaker switcher, take out the garbage guy. Pretty much anything in the basement. Box packing and stacking. The large majority of the driving. Problem solving and computer skills. Raking, leaf blowing, and grass cutting.

Which leads one to the inescapable conclusion that any woman who mows her own lawn is a lesbian separatist.

I can bring cake

Well... duh.

Also, men can cook tacos better than women. It's an inescapable fact of life.

If 'mowing her own lawn' is a euphemism I'm not sure it makes her a lesbian

Fun game to play when bored:

Think of all the tasks that are supposedly "man jobs." Now, try to figure out why any of those tasks would need to be performed by a male as opposed to a female.

If you don't come up with the mental image of a dude barbecuing by flipping burgers with his junk, then we really don't have any common ground to stand on.

I can bring cake

Do so.

thank you thank. Now if only i could get women to appreciate my contributions.

Funnily enough, that was the first thought which popped into my head.

I cook and clean a whole lot more than my girlfriend. She's the breadwinner :D

Well... duh.

Well not wishing to generalis, but in my experiance men are just better at cooking than women. *hides*

And in my experience, people who make claims like that are invariably wrong, no matter which sex they claim is better at what. :D

Unless, as stated above, the contest is to see who can flip the most burgers with their penis.

:tongue:

I think it may actually, not really into big hairy tattoed men.

I'm still stunned that you are male, it must be because of your name.

Shame on you leading me on like that. :p

At any rate, on Topics:

Pretty much what the woman brings to the relationship, with the exception of the genital differences. I guess in asymmetrical relationships he might also bring the dough, etc.

Binary rationality?

Binary rationality?

*hard stare*

Yes Mr. Sensitive Shakespearean.

What my man brings to the relationship:

His penis. It's wonderful. I greatly wish I had one of my own, but his is a good substitute.

Patience. Something I lack.

Insight. We don't think about things in exactly the same way though we hold many of the same viewpoints. The way his brain solves problems is not the way my brain solves problems, so he's a great resource when I get stuck. I mean this also in the sense of solving problems on a physical level.

Humour. If he wasn't an annoying shit, pissing me off and giggling like a school girl all the while, it just wouldn't be as much fun!

Different interests. I love his love affair with bicycling and his geeky Dune references and his out of key singing. If we had all the same interests, it'd turn somewhat competative, and mostly boring.

Mostly what he brings to the relationship is trust, and honesty, something that people often talk about being essential but that doesn't get worked on enough. I can be myself with him, even though that person is sometimes a really mean, base, annoying creature. It's pretty fantastic:)

A second equal person?

*hard stare*

Yes Mr. Sensitive Shakespearean.

*freezes, piss turns to ice*

You got me.

I think what you've posted about your man says it all. I'm half woman (on my mother's side), and let it show enough to drown out the macho asshole part of me 90% of the time. I bring a left-brained affection and right-brained understanding...when I'm not in that other 10% mode.

smelly armpits... ;)

I'm half woman (on my mother's side),

This might be the single most awesome phrase I've ever encountered.


Or it could be the gin.


I'm pretty sure it's the awesome, though.

Is there another way to do it?

Is there another way to do it?

Apparently so. I was surprised to learn this as well, but I guess there are people that use the spatula and tongs when cooking meat. I personally don't understand the necessity, but as they say, "When in Rome..."

As to what I personally, as a man can bring to the relationship:

Physical Manliness, including facial hair and rippling upper body muscles,
The physical X-Box 360, and the skills to deal with the evil Red Ring of Death,
Wood-Axe Mastery
Glee in the Hunting of Big Game (deer)
Glee in the Hunting of Mid-size Game (fowl)
Glee in the Hunting of Small Game (Insect massacring)
Love of all things dog
Hatred of all things cat
My Last Name, to be bequeathed upon my children.

But how do they expect to the meat to soak up all the really good jui--Alright, I quit. I can't make this joke.

But as I see from your pic you have the chick already it hardly matters.

Uhm ...

About a zillion quotes, a LOT of books, weasels ... and what appears at first to be randomness.

I get to work the bar-b-que. I do some cooking. I do laundry. Anything regarding DVD, TV, or stereo setup. Answering Excel questions from her and co-workers.
