Well, yeah.

Despite some physical differences and some biochemical differences, the need to procreate is strong in all of us, both men and women. Men, to generalize, are less subtle about it and seek out as many partners as they can. Women, again to generalize, are more subtle about it and may seek less partners in turn. But who's to know for sure? We can get polling data from PH, but I'd question accuracy.

I guess what I meant is that if you tell me that you love me, I need to see actions along with it. Not just some sweet words thrown at me. Men who wants to get inside a woman's pant, will do anything. That is their main objective goal.

Women are just more subtle about it, I suppose.

Actions or words, they're still getting in your pants.

But, I gather the OP was referring to men whose only goal was to "hit it and quit it"?

If all it takes is a few whispered sweet words to get into her pants, I'd be more careful whose pants I'd want to get into to.

And as a guy, we've all chased tail at one time in our lives.

Newlywed Couple: We don't want to start this chapter of our lives already in debt.

Parents: Let's not place unnecessary burden upon our kids by demanding so much from our new son/daughter in law.

That's how I remembered it anyways. I consider myself fortunate enough that through marriage I've had the chance to have more than one pair of caring parents. I refer to my in-laws as mom and dad and in return I'm just like another son to them. So maybe my views are a little biased.

High School Years / Re: How were you like in high school?

« on: June 15, 2016, 10:08:16 AM »

Awkward Freshmen.
Broke out of my shell my Sophomore year.
Ventured out and experienced a few firsts my Junior year.
Slept through my Senior year.

Limited social skills. AP courses. Friends in too many circles and cliques (a few clashes between them from time to time). Lacked self confidence. Definitely a chameleon. Regret not keeping in touch.

I think PH is a great example of why this would still be so difficult. Consider PH as a macrocosm of our entire national and international Hmong community. If we can't even have meaningful interactions on this level and over this medium, how would we manage on a larger scale through multiple forms of interaction; ie in person, print, digital and etc.?

My personal experience was definitely different from what I had always heard. My parents drilled into the men in our family that we needed to start saving money as soon as we started working, for our future wives. We've heard how families in CA were asking for 10K on average and close to 30K for their college educated daughters. Considering couples were getting married young at this time and young in general, you're looking at having that amount of money set aside in your late teens or early twenties. Who among us can say they did?

All things considered, I do believe we're left with a few bad examples, hearsay and a lot of generalization . In the end, it's the parents who set the precedence. Some defer to their children, some stand by tradition, some adhere to the guidelines of the Hmong 18 Clan Council and others just don't see the bride price as something to potentially have a wedding hinge upon. And yes, even some few parents do treat their daughters as a commodity, a means to financial gain.

I'm not sure where all this discrimination and negativity is coming from? This is one of those experiences in Life where where the perspective as a participant is totally different than from the perspective as an observer or bystander.

I used to have a big butt.  I've had guys (strangers) grab it a few times and always wished I had nothing for them to grab.

Thank goodness I don't anymore (due to working out and losing weight).  You have no idea how happy I am. 

Disrespectful. I'd give 'em 5 to the face and 1 to the groin.
