As a man, I can tell you ladies that we are a simple folk. Have a look at this cartoon and I can tell you it explains a lot of our differences in a nutshell....

We love you for who you are, warts and all. Whatever you think we are thinking, we really are not Smile

Surely if you put up a joke then you open yourself up to retorts. It's banter. Anyone taking offence needs to grow a thicker skin or get some funnier jokes

See, we have a male posting a patronising comment specifically to females, supposedly to reassure the females that males do find them sexually attractive even if (god forbid) she has body hair or cellulite or stretch marks or any other hideously deforming characteristic (including warts apparantly).

How ironic is that. It's such a sexist post that it's hard to believe it's genuine and the op has not come back to clarify so it leads me to the conclusion that the op is trying to wind up the women who read his post.

Take the post without the cartoon

"As a man, I can tell you ladies that we are a simple folk. We love you for who you are, warts and all. Whatever you think we are thinking, we really are not"

and it's glaringly obvious.

The cartoon is interesting because a certain percentage of the population (male or female) will identify with it and to them it represents some of their own feelings or opinions. They will then post accordingly in support of the cartoon, forgetting how patronising the whole post is.

So the op is either quite clever in their manipulation of posters, or just a bit silly in thinking everyone thinks the same as them.
