These Are the Five Questions Every Man Dreads?

Damn, I am a sucker. Why is it that when I'm logging into my e-mail I frequently get sucked into one of those inane MSN "articles" that are a complete waste of time? Why oh why? I can't seem to help myself. So today I foolishly clicked on "Five Questions Every Man Dreads and Why." And I knew it would be irritating. I have DMS. Everything is irritating me. But it drives me totally insane when I read about how men are very fragile and we must be super careful not to upset them and cause them run away crying. Grrr....

Anyway, this "article" was written by someone named Dr. Brenda Shoshanna. Uh-huh. Are they giving away medical degrees at Hooters these days? Yeah that's probably her real name. Just like mine is Gigi. That's Dr. Gigi to you, pal.

So let's let the good doc lay it on us. How should we stifle ourselves to assure adoration from the menz? Here are the questions a woman must never ask a suitor, especially in bed. Presumably, that is, unless you are trying to get rid of him so that you can get some sleep. Then ask away!

1) Are you attracted to other women? OK, I am assuming that any man I make time with is not dead or blind. (Not that there's anything wrong with it...blindness that is. Deadness is wrong.) He is allowed to be attracted to other people. I don't want to have a talk about the chicks he finds hot, though, because I don't really give a shit. I think it goes without saying that he should not ask me if I am attracted to other men. Or other women for that matter. Hey, I am not dead or blind, either.

2) What happened in your other relationships? Oh Dr. Shoshanna, I just don't know about your "let the past be the past" thing. Perhaps I wouldn't want to have this discussion while naked, but I don't think it's so out of line. Maybe I've seen too many Lifetime movies, but I kind of want to know if he used to smack his ex around, even if it was "only when the bitch was mouthy." I'm pretty damn mouthy. Just ask my mom.

3) Where (or how) do you think our relationship is going? Hmmm....I can only imagine asking someone this in order to lure them into a break-up discussion. "Really? You think it's going well? That's kind of funny...."

4) What are you thinking? Oh God. You know what? This is NOT a girl question. I don't think I've ever asked this question, but practically EVERY guy I've ever dated has asked me this and I never know how to answer. I must freak them out when I'm not being mouthy. What the hell do they want to hear? It's probably good to go with an enthusiastic, "I'm thinking about your amazing penis!" Try not to giggle.

5) Do you enjoy being with your friends more than you enjoy being with me? Oh COME ON!!! Who would ask this? "Do you enjoy being naked with your friends more than you enjoy being naked with me?" is a more relevant question, anyway. Ask that instead.
