Femme Fatale is hereby exiled from the MW's Secret Society for revealing confidential plans VR, you are really pissing me off, Woman. How come you didnt share it with me? I had to find it out myself. Hoarding it to yourself like a fat kid with triple fudge chocolate cake. Fuqur xasidadbadan baa tahey. Besides...this is a new club. And you my darling, are banned. So don't you dare reply to this thread or I will delete it. ------- So, woman. What shall we do? Any ideas? Mine are a little too violent, and I'm willing to consider other's ideas (me being generous and all).

How about we wipe out all somali men over 25? And start all over again?

^ :rolleyes: I just came back to see VR wipe the smile from your face. I wouldnt miss it for the world.

^^^You didn't forget you silly monkey. You purposely hijacked my topic and lead it in a complety different direction, saqajaamadyaheey sanka weyn! :mad: It's all your fault. Dawoco, I had a selfish reason for posting this. My mission is accomplished, and I'm now feeling better than I was. Calm and contented. As for what men want or seek in a partner, do we really care? :rolleyes: They should count their lucky stars that someone was willing to put up with their bull and shut up. That's all I have to say on this. *walks out whistling*

Fish: well, am not cool with you. I'm so heartbroken, Im near suicidal. :rolleyes: Baashi: And how many relationships you had the chance and the pleasure to observe? Pleasure? Do I look like a sicko to you? :eek: Actually, dont answer. Now, I have observed a lot of relationships (neighbours, strangers, relatives) to know what I'm talking about.

Its our fault. Most women love to be dominated. There is a time and place for everything, Chica Bonita. Dont get me distracted now. MEN: Get yourselves out the door. SomeAlien : Hmmm..Interesting. Havent thought of that. I thinking more about fighting fire with fire...hit them twice as hard...where it hurts the most. Reminds me of what the Indian women did.....

Are they (all your suitors) qaat-eaters darling? I haven't had any suitors...maybe never. Could be due to the fact that I'm an ulgly old hag. I don't have to be in a relationship..just observe the ones around me. Fish: Me and Jackson are cool. Sorry to put out the flames you were blowing.

Its funny how people see what they want to see. From this post (which I made no comment on or pushed a point) all these people are thinking Im a bitter old spinster. First of all, I don't really care who the hell a man marries, when or why. That is no concern of mine, neither does it interest me any much. Secondly, Im saying how surprising it is that men hold such high expectations and standards when they themselves are sadly lacking and fall way behind the bar. So dont be twisting my words, if you have a "bone to pick" say it and dont hide behind "ranting old spinsters".

FF, arseholes, Jackarses, worthless, expired, questionable mental capacity, lil bity brain,...are u done lil pretty princess? No, handsome I am not finished. I come in peace . I was gonna offer you flowers, but I was afraid you would think it was too feminine. So here it is, you man of great intellect and wonderful manners. P.S. VR (may I remind you) started the whole "men are arseholes" theory. ------- Are you and bashi suggesting By any chance, FF is an older woman who didnt find a man? How in the world did my secret get out? I am simply lusting after beer-gutted, skinny, semi-retarded, anti-social Faraaxs. On second thought, NO THANKS. Action Jackson: Why should I wait for the rusty, old train when I can board the plane? Diamante: I saw the word "ashamed" and "rant" in your post and I stopped reading. Write what you really want when the male person reading over your shoulder leaves.

ranting of old single girls on men If it makes you feel better to think that way Baashi, I'll let you. I have still have compassion and sympathy in my heart for old, worthless, expired, Faraaxs. No use in beating a dead horse. And what's up with "you are being emotional" crap men constantly throw at women when they don't want to admit that the women are right? Walee ragii somalia, waa extinct. Fish: What makes you think I'm joking? And as for the sensible things I have to say...I don't think you can handle it.

if you ask me a dumb Q like that again I had to dumb down my question for your itty-bitty brain power, generated by the three remaining malnourished brain cells, to grasp. Pity it takes four brain cells to "grunt and scratch".

Men: Your contribution is neither needed or appreciated. So back off. Women: Sisters, I had an epiphany last night. I was thinking about the the whole "women outnumber men three to one" cries that men have been lately using to justify polygamy or women settling for losers, and I had an aha! moment. I wasnt thinking in that direction though, but in a completely different and unexplored terrain. IF women do (and thats a fact) outnumber men, why the hell are we letting them control us and dictate our lives? Think about it women. We can use the state women are in to our advantage, if we focus on the positives rather than the negatives. We women have been crying about our lot for far too long, rather than doing something about it. We havent seen the diamond, surronded by all the black, stinking, dirty coal. Its time to start fighing back, harder. Hold this thought for a second. We are the Mothers, we can train little boys however we bloody well want. We are the wives/cooks, just slip him a tranquilizer every now and then to get him to do what you want. We are the secretaries, the nurses, the nannies..I mean we surrond and influence men all our lives. Why arent we raising them the way we want? Oh my darling sisters...the possiblilites are quite endless and exciting. Equality!? That is so last century.

^^ :mad: Don’t be arsehole urself I don't like you anymore Baashi. I thought you were one of the good ones. VR, you are right once again (annoying habit of yours). All Men are arseholes. my cyber heart has been broken too many a times You haven't seen anything yet Mister. I was kind enough to let you keep on daydreaming, laakin I changed my mind. I meant the living ones are jackarses (too big of an arsehole) and the rest are dead. There isnt a middle ground. And since you aren't dead...shall I leave it off for you to finish the thought, or is your mental capacity for such a task too small?

^^^If you have any annoying younger bro/sis, you will never have the need for coffee to wake you up. :mad: I love Tim Horton's French Vanilla. And sometimes I buy Irish Cream Coffee just so I can Inhale the intoxicating aroma, but I dont like drinking it. Tastes awful. But it works.

Emotional? Come again? The point of this thread was to dispel the myth that the fastest way to a man's heart was through his stomach. In fact...not only does a "man" want breakfast in bed...but he also has the nerve to want it from a complete i.d.i.o.t . But then again, that wont be too hard to accomplish, would it Ladies? Just talk to them on their level. If one is desperate enough for such a man, that is. Otherwise, kick his sorry behind all the way back to his mother's womb. I am not one to accept parts and parcels of statements bashi. I either take it wholesomely or reject it wholesomely. Arent you a Flip-Flopper? Doesnt that contradict what you just said, Mister? *hands Flip-Flopper his blankie and bottle* VR: I don't think I want to break Baashi's heart and tell him what I really meant.

^^Its how they unfairly portray the wife. How come most wives, mothers-in-law, and stepmothers are shown as evil-bythces everytime. I'm getting sick of it. :mad:

Order? Since when did we become meat products?! VR: Darling, not all of them. Some of them are bigger than that. Some of them are Jackarses. And some are dead. Rudy: Spit out your Q man. What are you trying to say? Whateva!...

A few years ago at a White House Correspondents' dinner, I met a very beautiful actress. Within moments, she blurted out: "I can't believe I'm 46 and not married. Men only want to marry their personal assistants or PR women." I'd been noticing a trend along these lines, as famous and powerful men took up with the young women whose job it was to tend to them and care for them in some way: their secretaries, assistants, nannies, caterers, flight attendants, researchers and fact-checkers. Women in staff support are the new sirens because, as a guy I know put it, they look upon the men they work for as "the moon, the sun and the stars." It's all about orbiting, serving and salaaming their Sun Gods. In all those great Tracy/Hepburn movies more than a half-century ago, it was the snap and crackle of a romance between equals that was so exciting. Moviemakers these days seem far more interested in the soothing aura of romances between unequals. In James Brooks' "Spanglish," Adam Sandler, as a Los Angeles chef, falls for his hot Mexican maid. The maid, who cleans up after Sandler without being able to speak English, is presented as the ideal woman. The wife, played by Tea Leoni, is repellent: a jangly, yakking, overachieving, overexercised, unfaithful, shallow she-monster who has just lost her job with a commercial design firm. Picture Faye Dunaway in "Network" if she'd had to stay home, or Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction" without the charm. The same attraction of unequals animated 2003's holiday hit, Richard Curtis' "Love Actually." The witty and sophisticated British prime minister, played by Hugh Grant, falls for the chubby girl who wheels the tea and scones into his office. A businessman married to the substantial Emma Thompson falls for his sultry secretary. A writer falls for his maid, who speaks only Portuguese. (I wonder if the trend in making maids who don't speak English heroines is related to the trend of guys who like to watch Kelly Ripa in the morning with the sound turned off?) Art is imitating life, turning women who seek equality into selfish narcissists and objects of rejection, rather than affection. As John Schwartz of The New York Times wrote recently, "Men would rather marry their secretaries than their bosses, and evolution may be to blame." A new study by psychology researchers at the University of Michigan, using college undergraduates, suggests that men going for long-term relationships would rather marry women in subordinate jobs than women who are supervisors . As Dr. Stephanie Brown, the lead author of the study, summed it up for reporters: "Powerful women are at a disadvantage in the marriage market because men may prefer to marry less-accomplished women." Men think that women with important jobs are more likely to cheat on them. "The hypothesis," Brown said, "is that there are evolutionary pressures on males to take steps to minimize the risk of raising offspring that are not their own." Women, by contrast, did not show a marked difference in their attraction to men who might work above or below them. And men did not show a preference when it came to one-night stands. A second study by researchers at four British universities that was reported last week suggested that smart men with demanding jobs would rather have old-fashioned wives, like their mums, than equals. The study found that a high IQ hampers a woman's chance to get married, while it is a plus for men. The prospect for marriage increased by 35 percent for guys for each 16-point increase in IQ; for women, there is a 40 percent drop for each 16-point rise . So was the feminist movement some sort of cruel hoax? The more women achieve, the less desirable they are? Women want to be in a relationship with guys they can seriously talk to - unfortunately, a lot of those guys want to be in relationships with women they don't have to talk to. I asked the actress and writer Carrie Fisher, on the East Coast to promote her novel "The Best Awful," who confirmed that women who challenge men are in trouble. "I haven't dated in 12 million years," she said drily. "I gave up on dating powerful men because they wanted to date women in the service professions. So I decided to date guys in the service professions. But then I found out that kings want to be treated like kings, and consorts want to be treated like kings, too ."

I was Majoring in Nursing. Then I had to drop it. I ran out of milk.

Stoic: Walaal it is mostly the little boys but the girls are annoying also. The parents have absolutely no control over their children it seems or they might not just care. I mean how can one tell their children to quite down..if they themselves are making gossip and laughing with their pals? This will confuse the kids of course. But I do reall believe that the men should take the younger kids...it is well known that children are scared of their fathers and always test their mothers. The mothers are too forgiving and make allowances for their children's wild behaviour. But this is the masjid, not the playground and there is a time and place for everything. THe masjid is the house of Allah and its amazing how people continously disrespect it when in fact they came to worship Allah and seek his blessings and mercy. Beard: Aboowe, but neither can the women! Eitherway..little boys should go with their fathers and not stay with the women. Why are the women taking the boys anyway if their husbands, fathers, brothers, cousin, etc. are in the men's section? It would teach the boys alot to be surronded by other men in the masjid. The prophet (scw) always had hassan and hussien with him even when they were toddlers. A Ladiif: Not only reer hebel, but what heblaaya was wearing and how was talking to who, and who had the best dirac at what wedding. I can't speak for the brothers...but gossip is gossip I guess. Juba: I agree. If those were one of my kids...qanduufada aan saarilahaa diig baa ka soo daadhanlahaa. Really. And its not only the Somalis...but it is the MAJORITY of the people I encounter. If we are being honest with ourselves...most somali children have no manners at all walahi. Some of them need to have a nice spanking. When I was younger my mother had only to look at me and I would pee in my pants...but the children now the mothers beg, plead, threaten, hit them (in front of the othe people) and they still misbehave. They are so hard-headed.

Great site Hirsi. The pictures are awesome and the geography + history lessons. Cool!

How can anyone in their right minds resist this? Seriously? You are plain evil intuition! :mad:

Islam says to respect thy neighbors regardless of race or colour, (in this case his sexuality) I agree with everything else you said abaayo...but you dont give respect just to anyone. They have to earn it. I'm guessing you mean tolerate...because there is nothing to respect about a homosexual or any other person who breaks the rules of Islam.

^^^I know. How many times have this happened so far? More than enough...why dont you just put a pink heart as your avatar? Sophist-I hope you told him his place.

On Eid ul-Ahda I was looking forward to praying with my fellow muslims and listening to the qudbah by the Imam (which is always interesting and makes me try harder to be a better muslim...for a while at least--> but thats a different problem for a different time ). Well, I guessed it would be different from the regular juma qudbahs because this was EID AFTERALL. People should respect that for half of the prayer is listening to the qudbah (its actually part of the prayer..same as during juma)...but it was absolutely horrible (I had similar experiences in the past...but this was by far the worst.) Most of the women thought it was a social gathering, a time to meet their friends and catch up on old gossip and news, so they sat around in groups and -talked talked talked-..the children were undisciplined, had tons of energy, and seemed to test the limists of their healthy young lungs. Not only were they screaming and yelling (which was bad enough in of itself), but running around the room playing tag and just being a complete nuisance. A couple of sisters would periodically stand up and tell the women to control their children and/or quite down themselves...but no one paid any heed and they went on with their business. The noise was so bad that I couldn't, try as I might, make out one word that the Imam was uttering...and worse that that (humiliaing I would think)..the Imam himself paused for a moment to tell the women to quite down and calm their children because they could hear it through the wall. It got to the point that it was disturbning the brothers in the next room, on top of everything else. Now, I spent alot of time thinking about this and I think I have come up with the best solution to this annoying problem. I believe that all boy babies/toddlers should go with their fathers and girls up to 5 years old too. Children would be intimidated by the presence of men rather than women and would quiten down. Furthermore, the physical presence of the Imam who they could see and listen to would probably make them think twice about causing such a disturbance. BTW, how is it that the children in churches and temples are so quite and well-behaved and our muslim children are such monsters? They have absolultey no respect for the masjid and I'm thinking would it be better if there were no partitions to be placed between men and women. It was afterall, that way in the prophets time. Salaam, Peace iyo Bariis in the Middle East!!!!
