LATE

Recently I watched a movie on TV. I forgot about the title but it’s maybe smthing like “The League of Outstanding Gentlemen”. One of the actors is Sean Connery. And I found this dialog in the film. “LATE is woman’s prerogrative”. What do you think about that saying guys? Does that really show the fact in life or they just mumbled around?=)

Afrah,
I’ve never said that woman is always late. But if then in your surrounding women are so on time I can say no more.
Btw, I want to ask this to women. Have you ever made your lover waiting for you deliberately? Why?

It seems that it has nothing to do with gender.

Instead, I heard that people from different culture had  different attitude toward punctuality.

Nu, are you trying to say that competition between women is really harder than men’s competition? Or in other words, do you think that women’s ego is bigger than men’s generally? Btw thanks for the correction.=)

lol NU. I’d choose the “I’m blinded by your beauty” as the best answer. I don’t know but maybe I think that girl is so keen on being lied by boys as long as she’s happy.lol
and I also have no idea about girl’s bulimia and anorexia. It really doesn’t make sense to keep the body shape by not concerned with your health. What’s the attractive things you’d get from a skinny girl? Nothing I guess.

Ryo,
I like a girl who is not so skinny or not so fat. She just has a proportional body shape.
But the main part of it is, she must be a smart woman and good at english, so then she can teach me or maybe we can learn together.
So welcome to all not skinny girl.lol
