What's it like?

womannish

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

They be shopping, moisturizing, and yelling at you for leaving the toilet seat up.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

maxipads all over the place. horrible.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, the End of Mystery

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

underwear on the radiator!

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

They talk on the phone even when they aren't ordering pizza and no one has died!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Cotton balls between their toes. Every night. It's some kind of cult thing.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I've lived with... let me count... 8 women, and I'm living with one right now. It's been nice. I haven't dated any of them, though.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

They pee sitting down!

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

they tend to buy a lot of vegetables. which is nice. and they keep telling you to use less olive oil in your cooking. which is ridiculous.

― Jay Kid (Jay K), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Why limit yourself to just one? Go Three's Company!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

and they break all your pictures.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

also, they smell nice.

― Jay Kid (Jay K), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

oh well. it wasn't that funny anyway.

Yeah, I live with a woman now. It's a bit like having a hamster.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I find having a female flatmate easier, since I generally have more in common with girls than guys. One of my flatmates actually was so absent-minded, though, that she often left her used pads lying around. I had to dispose of them myself.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

always on the phone = OTM.

Plus, they always have ideas about doing stuff, which is nice. Like going to the pool or somesuch. I'd otherwise fester in the apt.

― Aaron A., Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

They're great for when you can't think of good things to talk about during the Superbowl, and help you decide whether or not you really are going to go out dressed like that!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I really had no idea that certain colors don't go with other colors until quite recently!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

It's like having a gay friend you can have sex with!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you fondle each other often, Tuomas?

I live with my girlfriend now. It's pretty nice...she comes with cats and doesn't mind if I play video games all evening. We pretty much fester in the apartment though.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

It's like having a gay friend you can have sex with!

Are your gay friends picky?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, but mutual festering = classic, even when justified by attendant poverty.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

they read like Martin Skidmore

― Aaron A., Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

tep was actually righter in his first post than anyone will give him credit for

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

my gf hates talking on the phone and tolerates guitar noise at all hours. i should clone her.

buy a new set of towels for the bathroom randomly if you want to confuse them

― kephm, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Tep waaaaay off the money.

― ...in bed. (Chris Piuma), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

All of my posts are from Richard Jeni bits, though! (I don't know if that's in response to being on or off the money.)

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

the worst live-in relationship i ever had was nothing BUT shopping, health and beauty products, and being admonished for leaving the toilet seat up

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

She only goes shopping for dvds and comic books, and I have my own bathroom where I can leave the toilet in any state I choose. There is a lot of moisturizing though.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:53 (twenty-one years ago)

the BEST live in relationship i ever had was nothing but being poor, hairy legs, and peeing in the shower

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I live with a woman right now. She however does not be shopping.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

the worst live-in relationship i ever had was nothing BUT shopping, health and beauty products, and being admonished for leaving the toilet seat up

Uhhh. This sounds a lot like me, sadly enough.

― Mandee, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

the BEST live in relationship i ever had was nothing but being poor, hairy legs, and peeing in the shower

Amen to that. I just can't believe Jordan has his own bathroom.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I live with two. They are smaller than us. Sometimes they clean, though. And buy flowers!

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

i'd like to point out that my best live-in relationship as described above was with a woman and not just by myself

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. If it was one of each, I'm sure there would have been exponentially more fighting by now.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

they don't like living in the ghetto

― kephm, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

it's kinda weird how our menstrual cycles became aligned

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

kephm OTM

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay what is so wrong with shopping and health and beauty products? TELL ME.

― Mandee, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

My last roomy (also a gurl) was very moody and weird and had odd taste. I would come home approx. 2 am twice a week to find her up late watching Vanilly Sky (in tears) AGAIN.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Living with a woman isn't even nearly the same thing as living with a woman you're boning which isn't even remotely similar to living with a woman your previous boning has put a baby in. It's amazing how quickly "I'm going to the store, you need anything?" becomes "I NEEDS ME SOME WATERCHESTNUTS AND RITZ CRACKERS NOW YOU FUCK!".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

they are programmed to set up curtains and shower shelves 5 seconds after moving in even if it involves 5 trips to target

― kephm, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

my only female roommate dated a pro golfer and did mounds of blow. She was rarely home and for that, I loved her.

Then she settled down and her new bf moved in (without notifying me).

my next roommate will be a wife.

Mine or someone else's. whatever.

― Will (will), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

i am programmed to leave unpacked boxes everywhere and keep the previous tenant's blinds, no matter how filthy.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

my current female roommate is really starting to cheese me off.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I've lived with my wife for 6 years before we got married. Never any problems.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

alternatively: living with a man is giving up order.

walks into room which has obv been bombed. can't find anything.

"chaos is fun!"

"ARGH!!!!"

― jesus nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't live with myself, much less another woman

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha, the reverse is true of our household. I grew up with an obsessive compulsive father, but my wife keeps her clothes in small piles scattered about the house and cleanliness freaks her out.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Most of the girls I know are as messy as the guys I know.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm doing the lving with a woman you are intimately involved with thing for the first time. It's been 10 days so far. I think I like it. I think she'd like it even more if I got the toilet fixed - leaving the seat up is the least of our problems :/

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

no ghetto = OTM. My female roommate was fine but our whitebread neighborhood was boring, and irritating.

― Aaron A., Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

My wife is the mess maker in my house. The one thing that really sticks in my craw is that she leaves her drink glasses all over the house. I swear I use one glass a week and wash it out after I use it. She uses 10 a day.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Most girls I've lived with have been EXTREMELY messy, which tends to get on my nerves; I'm talking can't see the bedroom floor messy. I greatly prefer living with girls I'm not dating, though, that is generally a quick recipe for disaster in my experience. I don't think I'm much fun for girlfriends to live with, it never ends well. It seems nice at first, but I like to spend time by myself, often lots of it, and can be irritable with a girlfriend constantly around.

― webcrack (music=crack), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm doing the lving with a woman you are intimately involved with thing for the first time.

This is possibly the most revolting sentence I have read on ILE.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

You really haven't been concentrating.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

sometimes they leave their big leather shoes strategically placed in your tiny bathroom so that you can't open the door all the way, but sometimes they make good scrambled eggs with cheese for you.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm programmed like lauren.

me and most of my female friends are slobs. most guys i've dated are neat freaks. you do the math.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I wouldn't recommend it. I don't even want to reiterate the horror stories about my psycho ex-roomate.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

N. is obviously using a killfile.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Why does he get to be the lucky one with this? Is it like the golden ticket?

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I can only ever read Nicole and Barry's posts. It's kind of faulty.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

He can filter out users, but he also turns into a giant blueberry!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

they read like Martin Skidmore

? Meaning hardly at all, as in most of the last 8 months? Or as in quite a lot, like before then and the last few weeks? My ex-wife, with whom I lived for nearly 23 years, read about a tenth as much as me, I think.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I lived with a girlfriend for several years. It was great, we're still friends. We're both very accomodating. There was a separate office in the apartment, so there was always extra space and at least one of us had a full time job at any given time which is important for time/space issues.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I've lived with women since I was born.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

You big stud of Ealing.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

The time/space issue is the big thing. I thought I needed a fair amount of alone time, but she needs even more than I do, and that took a little bit to get comfortable with. I dig it though, since certain things a man can only do alone. Like listen to jazz.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I've lived with women since I was born.

Actually, come to think of it, me too. After I moved away from my mom's, I've always had at least one female flatmate.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I have had 4 years of my 30 without one.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Whiskey comes way before moisturizer in my apartment. Actually, whiskey comes before food, sometimes. And shampoo. And toilet paper...
I live with a girl, and it sucks. She is always making me look at the new clothes she bought and telling endless stories about high school.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never lived with a girl (except for my mom) for more than a month or so! I drove off my one college roommate pretty quickly, I'm afraid.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't imagine how you could be a bad roommate yo! I mean, even if there were problems we could easily tuck you away in a cupboard or something.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sorry for that Teeny.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it was the staring-at-her-while-she-slept thing, possibly combined with taking a ton of messages for me from like Campus Lesbian Action Now or whatever the fuck I was doing freshman year.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

but I got me my single room!

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

tell me mroe of this "lesbian action" you were in on, teeny.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

and the massages they gave you!

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha, teeny, why the hell were you staring at her while she slept? (And why do I find this hilarious?)

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:13 (twenty-one years ago)

The most women I've lived with was 5 (in college). For all the chick-drama, we laughed like all get-out and had loads of fun.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I lived mostly with women through university. They have much better parties and nicer rooms to go and hang out in.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

my girl-roomate is basically a guy.
with boobies.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I've heard about those.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I read that as "a ton of massages" and thought the girl must've been pretty uptight to object to that.

Whatever you do make sure the girl you live with is not a crazy psycho bitch. And definitely make sure you don't live with TWO crazy psycho bitches who are best friends, one of them dating your best friend. UGGGH. Women be drama.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the most women I've lived with at one time was 15. It was fun!

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Indiana brothel law only a myth. Shame.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

The most disturbing fact I've discovered on this thread is that Barry STILL hasn't got his toilet fixed.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Every time I see this thread title I think of that stupid Bryan Adams song "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman". I slightly hate this thread because of this.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm living with a woman who isn't related to me for the first time in a few years (not out of choice, she just won't go back to Singapore for another month). I came back today to find the house spotless and her CLEANING OUR WASHING MACHINE! This is not natural.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Cleaning of washing machine!? Was she wiping down the outside, or sluicing out the drum?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Has she got a coke problem?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Every time I see this thread title I think of that stupid Bryan Adams song "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman".

Me TOO!!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

She was cleaning the powder draw. So RickyT possibly OTM.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I have myself had to clean out the the fabric conditioner part of the powder drawer. It gets all bunged up => I get crunchy clothes.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I think your housemates are living with a girl as well...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:48 (twenty-one years ago)

the good (based on 6 yrs with girlfriend, now wife):
she listens well, doesn't get distracted by background music
is always clean and smells good
has ideas about what to do on weekends
has a good phone manner and can speak for both of us in nice ways

the bad:
health products, excessive moisturizing
votes republican

the ugly:
when you fight in winter, and can't go anywhere but out, and it's miserable, but you have to stay out to make your anger seem authentic

― paulhw (paulhw), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

It is perfectly manly to want uncrunchy clothes!

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

But not uncrunky clothes.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

what's up with all the "excessive moisturizing" hate? i don't moisturize but it doesn't seem like something to get weirded out over.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry Ricardo, that's simply not true. A man would, if anything, _prefer_ crunchy clothes.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i fail on loads of these good points about being a girl and a wife. tonight i am discussing football on the internet and am ignoring the mountain of ironing which needs done, whereas when I was at work, the mister cleaned the house from top to bottom (admittedly he is playing some shitty computer game now, but I guess my good attribute is that I don't go "come here and spend some time with me NOW", I just let him get on with it).

My husband has more clothes than me. And more shoes.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

i lived with the same 3 women for the last 2 years of college, and it was great except for the fact that none of us were capable of any kind of household chore. our house was filled with empty beer cans, dirty dishes, piles of clothes, and bbs everywhere since we liked to have target practice with empties in the kitchen.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll have you know that all my clothes have the Lil Jon Seal Of Approval. It's a little badge featuring the international symbol of shouting at strippers.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

A liking for soft pants does not make me a girl!

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

WHAT IS FREAKING WRONG WITH MOISTURIZER AND/OR BEAUTY PRODUCTS/!?!

― mandee, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I WANT ANSWERS - NOW!

― mandee, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Nothing. Even men should moisturize.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Living with the girlfriend was good (for a while) in both of my instances.
But the break-ups became much, much more complicated.
And my one ex-girlfriend ended up stealing my bed frame, vacuum cleaner and wok during her weekend escape.
The vacuum cleaner and wok I could understand but pilfering my bed frame just seemed meanspirited.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm with you, mandee.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

The temptation to use the moisturizers/cosmetics/etc. is too great for the meng to bear.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, I agree they might be annoying if they are taking up a lot of room - but besides that, what's the bigass deal?

― mandee, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:02 (twenty-one years ago)

A liking for soft pants does not make me a girl!

Dude, I hate to break it to you...

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

and also, if health & beauty products deter a man from wanting to live with a woman, I will never ever date ever again. my bathroom is busting with products.

― mandee, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I moisturize. And cleanse. And tone.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Men hate excessive moisturizer choices because if you accidentally grab the wrong one you end up having to take another shower or face spending the rest of the day smelling like freesia.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I also moisturise.

I am not doing my case for manliness any favours here, am I?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Not really, Pretty-Pants.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan is correct. I had forgotten about the horror of having your face smell of cucumbers all day.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I also use a cooling eye gel sometimes.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

and also, if health & beauty products deter a man from wanting to live with a woman, I will never ever date ever again. my bathroom is busting with products.

hear, hear! if i wind up alone, at least i'll be wrinkle-free.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

There should be nothing in a bathroom other than towels, shampoo, soap and a container full of toothbrushes. Anything else is just asking for trouble giving my semi-conscious uncoordinated state first thing in the morning.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

And possibly bog roll as well.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan wears pants made from 4 or 5 rabid dogs tied together, and lined on the inside with steak.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

With a weasel in the watch pocket.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

DAMN STRAIGHT (ow)

― Manly Macho Man (with slightly-chewed nuts) (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha ha, lauren - you don't believe that wrinkle shit do you?

I moisturize, when my skin feels dry and to be girly.

I do it every day as part of my shaving routine.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I sometimes rob my MA's shampoo, though only if I have none. I think my Dad must aswell cos he never buys any.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't get how anyone can shave every day. Doesn't it hurt? I shave about once a week.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:12 (twenty-one years ago)

It's expensive too.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha, I forgot about the shaving thing; if I don't moisturize, I get hellacious fuck-off wanna-tear-my-skin-off razorbumps, so except for those days when I plan on re-enacting scenes from "Poltergeist", I've got to use some after-shave.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha ha, lauren - you don't believe that wrinkle shit do you?

of course. 100%. totally. why? do you think i'm being hoodwinked?

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I am the least masculine person I know and I am agog at this thread. Do you do all this preening before or after you wax your bikini lines, men of ILE?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

If I skip more than one days shaving the itchy stubble horror descends and I end up making Jimmy Hill gestures at everyone all the time.

I have a friend who is 40 who has used eye wrinkle cream since she was 25 and she looks BANGIN'!

― mandee, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

and the reason I type 'bangin'' so much is because i couldn't ever bring myself to say it outloud.

Matt, you are just gifted with good skin. Mine's shitty enough even when I do moisturise.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe you need a visit to the clinique counter!

― mandee, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

There's nothing wrong with your skin, bloody hell...

(PS - you've just made me revive the out-of-context thread)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I too moisturize, and don't understand how it---even if done 'excessively'---could be annoying. Don't you want your girl to have good-looking skin?

(jesus christ y'all post quick)

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I moisturise my feet more than my face.

Do bald people moisturise their heads? That must be an erotic experience.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha, the Clinique counter will fix you up with the perfect foundation! (NOTE: The one time I allowed my wife to drag me to the Clinique counter, they did in fact try to sell me foundation.)

Barry was talking about powdering his earlier today.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, foot moisturizing and scrubbing is great. Plus we have one of those water foot massager things with all the doodads on it. Nothing like plugging that in and sitting down in front of The Shield...

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I was on the nightbus before and my friend dared me to lick this bald guy's head, he had fallen asleep.

So I boldly got up and did it, and got a big cheer for my efforts, from random people I didn't know. I must do it again sometime.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't moisturize much, but I do periodically lube the chassis with Bag Balm. By "chassis" I mean "lips"

I think it was more me talking about him powdering it, Ricardo.

Is bald-head licking going to become the new toad-licking?

I'm still puzzling why washing your face and shaving is somehow not enough. I think too many of you people sit out in the sun and wither for no reason, surely.

Hahaha "moisturizer" != "bacon fat"

I think in some parts of the South it does.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

"some"

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

You know, by scanning the thread I've almost gotten confused by what this thread is supposed to be about. Quite honestly. Is this about moisturizer? Licking bald heads? Both? Neither? Life? Death? Bryan Adams? (No really, tangents are good -- whoo whoo whoo-ooh -- but damn, you guys have been quick on the draw here.)

Ah well. Will read the thread again once provided with extra time.

I admit I am confounded by this, seemingly a coals-to-Newcastle approach.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 8 April 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned, moisturiser on oily skin is helpful as the oil in the moisturiser convinces your skin that it has produced quite enough sebum.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 8 April 2004 06:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't see how ANYONE could not have lived with a woman unless they were immediately yanked from the womb and raised on supplements in a commune run by a chapter of the International Seperatist Male Association.

ISMA, feh! They're doing research to see if they can make babies out of sperm-sperm mutations.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 8 April 2004 06:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I discovered last nite that if you don't have any shaving foam/moisturiser handy, you can get a perfectly comfortable shave using HAIR CONDITIONER. Much better than regular soap.

I loved living with a woman, but then again she was my best friend. We lived together for 4 years & it was a blast. i think we only had 2 proper arguments in all that time. It's so true that you don't really know someone until you live with them. She always knows when there is something wrong with me, no matter what I say. So in clonclusion, living with a woman rocks totally!!

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I live with a woman. She is also a musician which means that playing music (or practising it) often takes precedence over listening to music these days. As I'm a music critic it means that our music room has become the equivalent of the bathroom in normal households, i.e. queuing up to use it, HAVEN'T YOU FINISHED PRACTISING/WRITING THAT SODDING REVIEW/BLOG PIECE etc.

Initially I go "Aargh!" but then I remember what the previous two years were like and know that I wouldn't want it any other way :-)

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I once asked THE VICAR if he had some shaving foam.

His reply: "NO!!"

I cannot remember but perhaps this meant that by my standards, though not yours, I was like the wood-kerne of Heaney's 'Exposure' by the time I got to Belfast Central.

Amanda, I will never date again neither, beauty products or none.

I am not certain that beauty products can help you if you lack beauty.

If that is true, it does seem to undermine them.

They also adopted a stray cat a year ago and we hated each other. I haven't been in touch with at least 2 of them since leaving Manchester. The one I have seen once since used to shout "That's CARCINOGENIC!" every time I ate anything remotely burnt and we'd tease each other relentlessly.

Ned, moisturiser on oily skin is helpful as the oil in the moisturiser convinces your skin that it has produced quite enough sebum

*puzzles at this* A fight fire with fire approach?

Even amongst the bald head licking, bacon fat moisturising, blasphemy and general ILXness of this thread the following is still the most revolting, disgusting thing EVAH:
"One of my flatmates actually was so absent-minded, though, that she often left her used pads lying around. I had to dispose of them myself."

Ew ew ew ew repeat to fade.....

Oh, it wasn't that awful. Mostly they had dried up already, and I don't think pads are that yucky. Having lived almost 5 years with female flatmates, I've pretty much grown used to them.

But I can't understand this moisturizer talk... I've used moisturiser ever since puberty, and I've always thought it was a normal thing for girls as well as guys to do. Most of my male friends use moisturiser as well. I really can't see what's so weird about it.

Hence the should-be immortal "surfing the crimson wave"?

One of the others straightens his hair for that artfully dishevelled 'I'm too cool to care' rock-boy look. i have suspicions of highlights, but can prove nothing.

if you're talking about the one i met briefly at brixton, then i think your suspicions are well-founded.

Hey Matt: so far, most of the gross stories I remember from my old house involve the cat. Or me. Shit.

I have to admit, that experience totally ruined Sex and the City for me tho'.

mensturation = menstruation + mensuration?

Yes. Both are revolting on their own.

It's not the pads or menstruation talk I object too (except when it's Dang!) it's the utter revolting unhygenic disgustingness of not disposing of the things!!!Jesus, how long does it take to roll it up and stick it in the bin, hmmmm?

tuomas, perhaps men using moisturizer in finland is more common because it's more cold and dry there?

This whole thread reads like a Lewis Grizzard rambling

two years pass...

This thread is a thing of wonder and needs to be revived for future generations.

wtf about moisturizer? i use it all the time.

During the last six and a half years I've lived with fifteen different women, and let me tell you, there isn't any pattern to it. Shocking, isn't it?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 10 April 2006 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, the woefully misplaced optimism of two years ago...nevertheless, to paraphrase Donna Summer, this time I know it's for real... :-)
