This explains the vanilla sex.

If "vanilla sex" means not taking it in the ass and not wanting to have relations outside of my marriage (those being the two things that we have determined I will not do) then I am vanilla with no need for an explanation.

I think what the women crave is the sugar/fat combo. It is all about packing on the pounds to have enough fat for the fetus to survive a famine. Seriously. Women have this biological urge to get fat.

I know I have the urge and the only way I know how to curb it is to just never eat that kind of stuff. If I eat it, it just makes me want more so I never go there in the first place.

So chocolate has to do with getting knocked up? Well, that takes every possible romantic notion out of the issue, but its sounds possible, I guess...

Women have a need to get fat? Did you really write that? In Darwinian terms, that's entirely counterproductive, since you'd decrease the chances of mating. Your theory explains pregnant women eating chocolate, but pregnant women will eat drywall if they can get it in their mouths.

I disagree. If I come into a party full of women and throw down a box of Godiva, the box will be empty in minutes and women will be commenting to one another about which were the best chocolates in the box, like a bunch of dessert afficiandos. I have never seen guys go nuts for a box of any sort of sweets. In college I'd see women eat entire pints of Ben and Jerry's. I have never seen a man do that.

"The number of taste buds varies substantially from individual to individual, but greater numbers increase sensitivity. Women, in general, have a greater number of taste buds than men. As in the case of color blindness, some people are insensitive to some tastes."

Translation: That's me on the right.

Paigow! Paigow on the mountain!

Almost famous still you don't get the praise
It takes just a wink for you to turn out a phrase
You say you're a giver, I bow at your feet
But you're here alone, there's no one to compete.
If flaming's a bus'ness, I HEART it from you
More than just ashes when your flames ring true.

Paigow! Paigow on the mountain!

Long time lurker, what am I holdin' out for?
Caught in slow motion in a dash for the post.
The flame from your keyboard has now spread o'er the board.
You give all you have. Why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more fb will take
To the thin socks beyond which you ably can break

Ah, we have a winner. This one makes sense.

Two things: (1) You're not answering the question. Chocolate, excellent or not, appeals to both men and women. I want to know why it is so much more appealing to women.

FWIW, the big chocolate freak in my family is my brother. I don't think his being gay has anything to do with it.

He loved Miles of Chocolate.

Finally, an actual explanation.

But this fucking sucks. You have more taste buds and more sexual nerve endings? I would say you get all the fun, but I would never switch places with you. Having to have a period and the whole childbirth thing cancels out the additional pleasures, I guess. Plus you have to squat to pee.

I call bullshit. If chocolate remotely has anything to do with nurturing fetuses I will instantly lose all interest and, in fact, may well run screaming in the opposite direction.

Thanks, you joy-killing bastard. It's back to alcohol for me.

That is exactly what one of my friends told me about her trip to a Dallas swingers club. She and her bf were the only decent looking people in the place. And all these disgusting men were on the prowl. They departed quickly.

I heard essentially the same thing from some friends of mine who visited a swingers' club in Austin. There were a few attractive women, they said, but they were being swarmed by a bunch of guys. And the propositions were constant.

I'm amazed that there are swingers' clubs with hot people in them. Have you seen the "amateur swingers" porn on the internet? I'd rather just go to a regular bar and work my charms a little rather than have easy pickings of nasties.

Do you think that the Santa Barbara police and DA knew at the time they arrested Michael Jackson that LAPD and child welfare investigators had already concluded that the same allegations were "unfounded"? Click here ->The Smoking Gun, of course (The Smoking Gun is work safe, right?) for details.

Hmmmm . . .

Let's see:

Women:
Childbirth
Squat to pee
Pay inequities
Uncomfortable shoes
Chocolate tastes slightly better

Men:
World domination
Pay inequities on our side
Internet porn
Beer Nuts

Tough choice.

That goes for you too. If you aren't sending me some, shut the fuck up about it.

Before the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, natural selection favored those women who could store fat. However, just because they could store fat doesn't mean that they had enough food around to actually get fat. They likely did not. But they still had the urge to pack on the pounds whenever there was food around. It is just that there wasn't usually all that much food around.
