Men and women think differently.

There's an ad on TV that I've seen several times recently. It's for a national jewelry store chain. It starts with a woman sitting alone in her home on Christmas Eve. She was phoned by her man to inform her that a major snow storm might prevent him from getting home tonight. She hears the sound of a vehicle, and it turns out to be a snowplow that stops in front of her house. She looks out the window, and the man descends from the plow, having obviously moved heaven and earth to get home to her. They embrace, she looks at him with loving eyes, he gives her a gift of jewelry, and they hug again.

I'll bet most women think: "How romantic." As a guy, I was thinking: "He's going to get laid tonight!" Am I right, or do some of you think differently from what I expect for your gender?

Exactly!

I don't believe anyone who claims that they are just in it for sex.

I had said that I have had casual sex but I meant that as sex with someone that I am not in a relationship with. At the time I said (and believed) that it was just for "fun" but I think I was trying to fill a void. I was single and looking for the intimacy and affection that comes with sex. It also boosts your ego and confidence.

So, what you're saying is, in essence, that you don't believe that any woman could feel about sex differently than you. Actually, I think that's what all of you are saying, isn't it?

Oh, if you had seen the commercial then you would know that she's worth a Mercedes, or at least a Lexus, LOL.

I think that EVERYONE feels differently about sex. I have felt differently about sex during each of my relationships.

I'm saying that I don't believe that anyone truly has sex only for sexual reasons. Even if at the time they think they are.

No. I didn't say that at all. Just read through my responses and that should be pretty clear. I've known many women who apparently had sex just for sex. Just was never my choice though.

Okay, Rice, THAT was offensive. I don't think they were trying imply that this woman was a whore waiting to get paid.

My take was that they were in love, in a relationship, and he was trying to get home for Christmas, and he had to take drastic steps to get there. The necklace was just a bonus.

No woman is worth a Rolls Royce.

"I'm saying that I don't believe that anyone truly has sex only for sexual reasons. Even if at the time they think they are."

I'm sorry, but isn't that like saying that you don't think that anyone has eaten simply because they were hungry? Sometimes a kiss is just a kiss, and sex is just sex.

And that's what I thought it was too. That it was simply a romantic moment with nothing sexual implied. As I said, it had never occured to me that they were going to be having sex later. Why would they?
