^- I don't know what it is your trying to insinuate with that hating Celine Dion article but I assure you that I bare her no ill will (Squints her eyes suspiciously) I'm on to you... Ps Serenity I hope I didn't give the impression that this very entertaining silly genre is all I read because I don't. I actually read anything and everything Scouts honor (though I've never been a bear/girl Scout)

Che- LOL You'd be presuming wrong then, unless society deems hairy backed apes with bottoms large enough to be used as homing beacons as beautiful I shall have to settle for my luck in life. Still I count myself fortunate in that what I lack in physical perfection I can more than make up for in cunning. And if that fails I could always invest in a lifetime supply of rohypnol. Paragon, you have to admit though, not every individual thinks as you or adheres to your just another "me so horny" I can't help my biology statistic. You can't leave out the chance that there are some men out there who truly have no sinister designs upon their lady friends save crying over their plump bosoms after watching an episode of star trek where captain Kirk dies. You can't leave out chance my boy.

LOL -Waar runta ya ee sheega madaxa-yar baad iga wada qasteen.

lol, Holy sh*t I presumed Fulxomo was a man many because of that avatar. I do apologise for the mistake and in that case I would like to say…fulxumo you can kiss my @ss. LOL- I KID I KID wallahi don't go flexing those manly muscles But honestly, I wouldn't be too proud or happy to be "masculine" in mind since it’s a scientifically proven that the masculine mind is indeed deficient. (Grins yes I'm purposely trying to piss you fellers off just ignore me) Also Mr Qalbi Lol@ proper english accent, in truth I'm a chameleon and can fit into any place so I'm good at being a parrot and mimicking others. Its all entirely unconscious mind, but I'll be honest and say I have no idea why on earth I'm speaking in such a clipped aristocratically tone accent I just seem to have adopted it. It doesn't bother you does it? Mr Gentlemens lol I will try then to limit my responses, Will that suffice?

^-LOL Ouch- I see your a little sensitive and found my obviously harmless quip at you earlier some what abrasive, if not? There would have been a no need for this little show of "manly" muscle flexing. I'm glad you found the time however to indulge my idleness with a fascinating and obviously less idle rebuke of your own. Now you must allow me to leave with but a slip of the dignity your scolding comment has left me. (Lifts a melodramatic hand to her heart in feigned pain and pirouettes off) Ps oh and if idle feminine twittering doesn't interest to you then might I kindly suggest you find other avenues of interest. Dare I suggest some place more "butch" and "masculine" in its direction not forgetting less idle?

lol, Thank you for the welcome and the somewhat back handed compliment (weird is good for me at the moment so I'll let it lie) as for being a feminist? Isn't every woman and man with sense? Its just a name, call me a freedom fighting Muslim justice keeper if it makes you feel any better...or superwoman. Its all relatively the same Oh and I'd appreciate that. I dare say we ladies have much to fantasize about. LOL

Foolxumo- Horta what are you laughing at? (Pokes him in the belly, I sense a troublemaker in you) Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg- LOL First of all, I'm all Somali baby (Wiggles her cup of shaax, accidentally drops some on her dirac and in annoyed retaliation of having to "prove" her ethnicity slaps Sir Qalbi over the face with her silk garbasaar) Do I pass the test? Or would like me to slap you across the face with some Laxoox/canjeero to prove my somalinimo? (Grins) Pst...Bar burning isn't actually an act of feminism perse, thats one of the myths surrounding our breed of women.

Ibtisam- Sorry my dear but I prefer my Somali role models to be what I classify as "Proper" Somali's that means no ear rings or g@y choker necklaces in sight. LOL Cara- For your information I sometimes wear one earring granted its one made of a variety of colourful feathers- still I manage to strut around acting as if I were Pocahontas. Hell I can even make it rain when I want to...Sometimes and I am ashamed of this but I wear one earring just to see what it feels like to be Elton John.

^- Oh my, I'm afraid you lost me at thermal spooning within the freezing cold Appalachian mountains. Shivers and sighs wistfully oh but to dream, (Allows her imagination to run wild) Still man and woman and can both form a mutually platonic friendship so long as the woman holds the salivating "best" friend at bay with an MC Hammer "Can't touch this" hand. Boundaries people, we all need boundaries and a lady shouldn't even contemplate thinking that her male friend will help maintain and protect that barrier because more often than not if your remotely attractive and breathing and he can get away with coping a feel while your guard is down? Then he will. Hell I would if I were so unfortunate enough to be born male and as a result illogical. (Flutters lashes) God I feel so provocative and annoying today...

Here are 2 more I found quite delicious to behold. The undeniable double entendre in this is just ridiculously funny. The sword and the sheath indeed…they might as well have said the **** and the ****. LMAO-I know I’m rude I shall stop no more profanity. I promise (tries to contain her naughty giggles of laughter) What I’d like to know is what kind of a male hero has a cat and an overweight one at that as his side kick? Also that heart-shaped medallion does nothing for him. [ March 10, 2009, 06:32 AM: Message edited by: sheherazade ]

I am ashamed yet brave enough to admit that I read pathetic romance novels in my spare time. Why? Because it helps to whittle the hours away and because how on earth is a repressed spinster supposed to get her kicks save humping the next thing I set eyes upon. No I shall suppress my natural urges and take solace in my pitifully maidenly fantasies by indulging in the good old fashioned escapism romance novels provide. Yes I am shameless and yes I both detest the historical romance section as much as I am drawn to it. It’s a love/hate thing and those of you who have ever glanced or even read a romance novel will have seen that a large proportion of the cover art upon these books are hideously and rib cracking funny enough to cause you to cringe in complete and utter mortification. I bet some of you have even been forced in public and in occasion to bend the front cover over placing it directly on the flat of your lap so your embarrassing if incredibly amusing guilty pleasure remains forever an unspeakable secret. LOL As a result of this guilty yet giggly pleasure of mine I have decided to make fun of the very rubbish I like to read along with their art covers. I mean truly? The covers of some of these books are just begging to be made fun of and thus here are a few covers with humorous captions on them for you to enjoy. Deaf, dumb, blind and buttoness...just how I like my men. LOL This is just creepy LOL Hey when a lady has to go? She has to go right? Strangely this is one love bum I wouldn't mind sharing a can of beans with, preferably with it poured on his chest, I just hope a stabbing hobo doesn't happen upon us. LOL-I kid, I kid

LOL Why thank you Cara I greatly appreciate the welcome and plan to join the fray as soon as possible ( lovingly wipes the steam off her glasses and hands it back to her)..Lets hope this steam doesn't become a permanent fixture in our lives. LOL Fulxomo- Whats sleazy exactly? The fact that one look from a balding eccentric hot house of intellectual thought can melt my nickers? Or the simple idea of allowing the ladies to exhibit their likes and dislikes? Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg- You sound a little bitter, is there something you wish to discuss or would you prefer we all hug you for some good old-fashioned form of group therapy? Pucca- Your likes are oriental in taste and stature eh? Do these men happen to be manga cartoons or real by any chance?

I once saw him wearing earrings and since then I decided that he was a g@ylord. Still, its nice for us Somalis to be proud of being adept at something other than piracy...and thats not me having a dig at those pirates, to me? They're national heroes. LOL

Gone are the days where I idolized and worshiped a firm muscular chest and wash board abdominal muscles tight enough to grind xawaash on. Now I find that my taste has become more refined or pushed into a perverse avenue depending upon your proclivities. My cousin, for instant, thinks that I should be slightly perturbed by the fact that I have unashamedly confessed to her that my idea of a feminine inspired wet dream isn’t a sun kissed, glistening with olive oil stud with bulging biceps of steel or a gleaming Hollywood smile which melts you at its first touch...but the heavenly vision of a balding eccentric professor with Grey hair so soft and fine it flaps lovingly in the wind even as his wistfully curious yet smoldering gaze of intellectual magnificence burns a literal and figurative hole in my loins. Now that is what you call a man. Perhaps its the reason I always preferred the Wheetos professor to the Frosties tiger? don't even get me started on the cocoa monkey.. Still, I am not ashamed to admit it, so ladies come out of the closet and tell these men what it is real woman actually want (shakes an impassioned fist in the air) (Note: this topic is a tongue cheek micky take of the “what men want thread”) I became jealous needless to say and you know what they say “what’s good for the goose is good for gander” Still, now that we’re all here and I have your attention, ladies feel free to describe what it is you believe we truly want in a Somali man. It’s high time we looked to satisfy our own needs and took the women’s section back from those grasping masculine clutches. "What do men want indeed (rolls her eyes) in the women s sections? For shame I say ladies for allowing this to happen. Raise your hands who'd like a shirt? LOL

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! (Cackles her lungs out) My god that was so funny because there's truth in it. LOL Poor deluded fools, tisk tisk.

Question: What do men really want? Answer: Do women actually truly care? I doubt it.

I'd say I was a combination of all three.
