It sums it up!

Tamatoa · 16/10/2017 13:52

Excellent.

DamnSummerCold · 16/10/2017 13:54

I really want a like button.....

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 16/10/2017 13:54

Oh thats great!

And so true Grin

MulhuddartDrive · 16/10/2017 14:02

I saw something similar, The Rock Rule. Don't say anything to a woman you wouldn't say to Dwayne The Rock Johnson Grin

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 16/10/2017 14:04

My husband would absolutely say something inappropriate to The rock

He loves him...

It would probably be 'please do your pec dance'

wasonthelist · 16/10/2017 14:06

Just listening to R5 on these lines - they seem to be opining that compliments are OK - I disagree. I can't see any need for any work colleagues to comment on each others' appearance ever, at all.

MulhuddartDrive · 16/10/2017 14:06

Rufus Grin so would i

M00nUnit · 16/10/2017 14:07

My husband is the same - he has a huge man-crush on the Rock!

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 16/10/2017 14:10

He is lovely

I hope he really is lovely...

So handsome and funny and he just seems ...nice

I think it would be better still if men simply stopped trying to speak to women they don't know in public places at all. It's rarely welcome and usually leads to trouble.

Considering the present state of relations bvetween the sexes, proper social introductions, chaperoned dates and arranged marriages are the safest way forward.

This, a thousand times over.

AngelsSins · 16/10/2017 14:24

Yeah WhollyFather arranged marriages are notoriously safe for women (and underage girls).... Hmm

YouMeanNothing · 16/10/2017 14:28

No one speaks for all women. I'd hate it if men stopped chatting me up

Flyingflipflop · 16/10/2017 14:31

I've come to the conclusion that a lot of women would just be happy if men didn't exist.

CliffRichardsPenIs · 16/10/2017 14:32

Flying Yep, pretty much Grin

AngelsSins · 16/10/2017 14:34

FlyingFlipFlop you realise the quote is from a man, not a woman right? Or do we even blame women for the things men say now?

Witsender · 16/10/2017 14:35

I'm vert happy for them to exist. Just as long as they are happy for me to without getting in my face. Respect isn't that hard, most men manage to treat other men with it, it is just women some struggle with.

DrussIsTheLegend · 16/10/2017 14:36

That's awesome - I am stealing that for the sexist/bordering sex pest arsehole of a manager in work.

Validates your self worth?

See a therapist.

Lets all walk around in a bubble and not talk to anyone, ever, at all, ever again Hmm

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 16/10/2017 14:40

I think wholly was being snarky dunk

why12345 · 16/10/2017 14:40

YES!

Chickenkatsu · 16/10/2017 14:40

arranged marriages

Are you serious?

PoeDameronLovesFinn · 16/10/2017 14:41

We men all do.

Also Benedict Cumberbatch.
