I almost never tease my boyfriend, because the couple of times I tried I could tell it kind of hurt his feelings. (Not like he went around sulking, but I can read him pretty well...) I figured it was just his style of humor or something. But maybe it's a widespread man thing to not want to be teased by attractive women.The Sojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559244806125834569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-85996593602872932192010-12-03T21:00:29.368+00:002010-12-03T21:00:29.368+00:00Sigh.

And the problem is that I can praise the boys I have no romantic interest in and only seem to tease the ones I actually like. My sarcastic tendencies have decreased since realizing I was using it as a defense mechanism but is sadly still there somewhat.<br /><br />I do believe I will make affirming others an Advent project.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453988219871836176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-18381852902956169522010-12-03T20:47:11.865+00:002010-12-03T20:47:11.865+00:00The idea of trying to hug anyone except B.A. and f...The idea of trying to hug anyone except B.A. and fellow North Americans in Scotland fills me with abject fear.

Oh dear. I am a huge fan of hugging (not random people, which would be awkward. Close friends and relatives) and would be quite sad without it.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398904417243102605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-33682824860652507342010-12-03T19:28:21.345+00:002010-12-03T19:28:21.345+00:00Sheila, thank you for buying my book for your frie...Sheila, thank you for buying my book for your friend!Seraphichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251504033428511090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-33218812437139045502010-12-03T19:27:58.254+00:002010-12-03T19:27:58.254+00:00Men are indeed sexy trees.

Not being the Queen of the World (and being married, not to mention living in the UK where hugging is illegal or soemthing), I have to make do with real trees.Seraphichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251504033428511090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-82383794668152869452010-12-03T17:18:17.808+00:002010-12-03T17:18:17.808+00:00Bwahahaha!

Stuff...Bwahahaha! Men are sexy trees, apparently. <br /><br />Stuff like this is why I don't mind if men say women are delicate flowers, china dolls, etc. because I am secretly objectifying them too.<br /><br />My favorite female idiocy: the girl in movies who, on seeing an ex-boyfriend happily with another girl, are sad because she spent so much time improving him and now she gets the benefits. Ans she is seriously confused why the man she basically tormented would like to be with a nice, fun girl who actually likes him.sciencegirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-13977025943333067742010-12-03T17:01:54.824+00:002010-12-03T17:01:54.824+00:00This is so true!

So I tell him that he is constantly and it just motivates him to keep being awesome. To keep being himself, in short. I do think all men are like that. They want respect and appreciation even though they pretend that they do not need it. Once during a witty banter with one young man I teased him. The next time we meant, MONTHS later, we chatted again and he remembered EVERY word of what I had said, and rebuffed it. I said to him in some shock, "You do realize that I was just teasing you because you seemed to me like an intelligent, strong, confident fellow, right? You do realize that I was not serious?" THIS GUY REMEMBERED that one thing that I had said with no thought or effort or seriousness for all those months and remembered it WORD for WORD!<br /><br />I had to give him several nice compliments to put things right. But I was so shocked that this young fellow cared so much what a random woman had said in jest. And now I know. They look tough on the outside but they hear and internalize EVERYTHING we say.dark but fairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929758251543007628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-10368142769412759952010-12-03T12:24:51.183+00:002010-12-03T12:24:51.183+00:00I bought your book for a Single friend for her rec...I bought your book for a Single friend for her recent birthday!
