Ha! I feel your pain dude. Though the issue with me is that my wife also enjoys it, but if I get her in the wrong part of her sleep cycle she sits up and shouts like I jumped out of the closet with a knife.  

I think the 20 year old readership of this site, and their unravaged by life bodies have taken those Dove campaigns to heart and aren’t thinking about how their moms might talk.

Women apologize all the time. My wife apologizes when she is unhappy with the dinner she made. I’m just happy I have something to eat.

And to be clear, I also reassure all my partners.  I think most men would.

From the big bag of “average women who are insecure about their appearance.” It’s in the back at Costco.

Actually it’s less clear to me now.  Are you saying that women don’t say these things in real life?  Or are you saying that even though they do say it in real life men shouldn’t write about it?

I’m telling you as a man, that women often apologize.  Women, feel free to let me know of your experiences with men apologizing or not.  I’m suspecting though that the authors are being realistic in their portrayals here.   It doesn’t have to be universal, just not unusual.

This is one time where mansplaining is likely correct. Het men (and lesbians) have a much wider sample set of female behavior in this situation.

I’m a dude.  I’ve had multiple women say this, or something in the same vein (too fat, too skinny, too hairy.)  One time in particular the girl apologized for a large birthmark hidden by her clothes.

Blaming this on the listener is pretty fucking uncalled for.  It’s not no one has ever noticed that advertising and the rest of the media might be making women feel insecure about their bodies.  I always figured that women who wanted to take off their clothes in front of me felt I was very much _less_ shitty than most…

Would you prefer “not insignificant”? “Noticeable”? Unless you’re Wilt Chamberlain any sort of personal experience with this is clearly just anecdotal, but I’ve heard women apologize for their bodies many times.

Because a significant number of women apologize for their tits the first time they show them.

The germaphobe in me is just imagining how hard it is going to be to wipe your ass and wash your hands.

I’m also curious about the energy density of the NiMH pack.   Will it have the same amount of range in electric mode?

“ starting with paying the USA women’s soccer team more than we pay the men, because the women in fact generate more revenue”

Hydrogen is just so much harder to handle than electricity.

There’s also the fact that if you think someone is a first round talent, but you know everyone else has him in the 4th, you’re better off taking him in the third.
