Paul asks: "What disgusts you most about the opposite sex?"

I think it's more of a morbid curiosity: How can a guy scratch his nuts/ass/pits and then eat something (and I mean food you need only hands for) and never consider a little handwashing in between those two actions?

The only semi-logical reason I can fathom is that after his "sniff check" on the hands, he deems everything clean, thus no need for the soap and hot water.

Oh, shit, y'all are funny.

I can't even answer this one. I don't want to alienate the few male fans I hoped to attract with this topic.

Maybe later Paul will get on and post stuff he does that's even grosser.

I've often wondered about the aversion to napkins and chewing with mouths open- that and farting every two seconds by raising alternating cheeks - is this sexy? Nope.

My ex-husband was also kind and thoughtful when picking his nose in his car.
He must have thought I would be impressed with his booger collection that he would splay across the passenger side (read:MINE) seat each time I got in.
I suppose I should be grateful: he would put them on the backside of my headrest if I was in the passenger seat.
Charming, eh?

Well, I won't paint all men with the same brush, but what disgusts me about my husband is when he talks about stuff that he KNOWS (because I'm screaming it at him) grosses me out, like hockers and...other stuff, for the sole purpose of grossing me out.

Also, I refuse to stick my hands in the pockets of his dirty trousers and fish out his used handkerchiefs (handkerchieves?), which deeply offends him. Too bad, so sad, because I'm not touching anyone's snotty hankies.

What I wanna know is why are men (ok, maybe not all men, but my husband, for sure, and my two little boys, even) so PROUD of their farting abilities? It's like they just created some kinda symphonic masterpiece and want to share it with everyone.

My husband isn't 'proud' of his farts, and he's English, so I'm surprised he hasn't inherited this country's obsession with all things related to bodily functions. Apparently he got all the English repression and none of the fart fascination, because farts have never even been an issue in our household. I'm pretty happy about that.

All men should smell like soap and disguise as much as possible that they are passing gas. Leaving the room would be nice. Wearing deodorant on a regular basis is a big plus. There's nothing physical that *really* disgusts me too badly. I get real disgusted by mental things though: obsessive visual stimulation (only dating girls with big boobs and other stupid behavior), infidelity, feelings of superiority because they own penis, etc.

I swear my hubby is ALWAYS holding his naughty bits. ALWAYS, touching it in someway. ANd he always thinks I want to see it. I don't. It's all dangly and shit, doesn't that annoy men? Stuff hanging there. Male naughty bits are nasty.

My hubby insists he should be washing his hands BEFORE he pees, cause, now pay close attention here, he hands are FAR dirtier than his penis. Afterall since he washed in the shower this morning it's be all tucked away safe and sound. ON the other hand, his hands have been all over all sorts of icky things (most of which I DO NOT want to know about I'm sure) like money and stuff, so therefor by not washing his hands before peeing he is dirtying his penis.

Does this make sense to women? NO Does this make sense to men? who knows.

Pam, I can relate. My ex used to sit in his damn recliner, watching tv, with his hands down his pants *all the time.* Scratching, fondling, I don't know what the hell he was doing. It's like he was afraid it was going to fall off if he didn't keep his hands on it.

Drove me nuts (can you tell?).

I've also worked with guys who always had to adjust themselves. Constantly. Very distracting.

Hey Gwen - have we answered his question?

Lu: I just found out why he wanted this topic started. He was hoping I'd say something about him because he's dying to publicize something gross that I did the other day.

I told him he needs to start his own forum.

Okay...I think my son's starting to develop these habits WAY to early. Bad enough my part-time roommates have taught him "nice hooters, babe" and "bueno arbusto" (translation: nice shrub/bush) - (*eyes rolling*)...but for about the last six months he's CONSTANTLY playing w/ his "wee one" (LOL). I told him I was going to tie his hands behind his back if he didn't stop...then he spied guy in grocery store doing same thing. My little darling actually went up to this man and told him to stop playing w/ himself or his mommy (me) was going to tie his hands behind his back. HELP ME!! LOL...

I grew up in America, but currently reside in England. English men are SO proud of themselves because they're not circumsized. I think their penises look terrible. And then that stereotype about the english and their bathing habits? Well, from what I've seen, it's a fair fact. And boy, you cross a turtleneck dick with an occasional bath and it's stink city. Disgusting. I'm really sorry if I've lowered the tone in this forum.

I loathe things along this line (which seem to happen WAY too often to me): "Well, I'll come over and fix your car/regrout your tile/move some furniture (etc.), save you some money. No, really...I don't mind. I want to. Of course, you'd have to make it Worth My While, you know. And I won't even charge you for anything."

Oh, yeah. I'm gonna have sex with you for changing a radiator hose? Apparently this has happened to these guys, because they are totally serious when offering me this *deal*. Ooooh...

Y'all are cracking me up and making me realize what a charming civilized partner I actually have! But then there's the rest of the male world to contend with. I make my living as a retail slave who wears a nametag and I hate it when strangers read it and then address me by my name, as if we were aquainted or something. It is always men who try to impose this forced familiarity. It's not as bad as being addressed as "little lady", though. The shop I work in sells (among many other items) Playboy and soft core girlie calendars. On more than one occasion I've been nonchalantly ringing up such merchandise and been asked by some leerng scum "When's your pictoral gonna come out?" Shudder. I've never known a girl who was actualy flattered by such comments. It's just plain creepy and intrusive.

Do you know what? I can't think of anything Tristan does which disgusts me. Either he's the perfect man, or I'm settling for too little and have severely lowered my expectations. I don't know which, and I don't even want to know.

I showed this thread to my sweetie, and he howled with laughter! He was holding his gall-bladder stitches and crying "ouch!" but he read all the way down the page.

The thing that disgusts me the most about the opposite sex is the friggin' fraggin' double standard most of them seem to hold dear to their hearts.

As in, if a guy gets laid, he's a stud. If a woman gets laid, she's a slut.

That just bugs the living crap out of me.

I don't like how some men feel that it is their right to comment the appearance of total strangers, especially when the strangers are females.

Sometimes my husband doesn't flip the remote to my liking. Like, I'll say turn it because there's a gross snake or bug on a nature show and he doesn't do it fast enough for me. Plus, he lingers too long while flipping through the channels. I feel that I'm the superior flipper in the house. I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

Farting in bed then holding your head under the covers ranks right at the top of my disgusting list. Along with SBD farts (silent but deadly) left in the aisles in stores for unsuspecting shoppers. Oh what fun we have.

Sometimes I sneeze and it smells real bad. I wish I knew what that was from. I imagine that any member of any sex would hate that, but particularly females. Males are used to to things that smell bad.

That happens to my boyfriend, too, kdrock. I have searched and searched on the internet for a cure for the smelly sneezes, but I never find anything. If anyone can shed some light, I'd like to know more info.
