What the bejeezus does that mean?

It's a reference to the movie Anchorman. One of the characters uses a cologne called Sex Panther and claims that "60% of the time, it works every time." Ron Burgundy then says, "That doesn't even make sense."

OMG! Which girl are we talking about here. Ileana or the German girlfriend who looks like Tinkerbell?

I may not want to know your response. :rolleyes:

Here's to the Crazy Ones

If you read the whole thing you'll see it's pretty stereotypical about men too - basically it assumes that the reader (a male) is a sex-crazed, shallow troglodyte with about as much sophistication as a turnip. I laughed at some of the stuff, and some of it was dumb. Nothing to flip out about though, it is Maxim after all, not the most highbrow stuff.

shallow troglodyte with about as much sophistication as a turnip - that would be the average reader of Maxim, FHM, Loaded, Ice, Nuts etc then...?

I must admit to reading those kind of magazines when I was much younger, but I find them annoying and unintelligent now.

From my point of view- the last place any straight guy should go for advice on women is Maxim. Ask us homos- your girlfriends tell us everything. ;)

Listen to the man. Without guys like him, we'd have to take her dancing!

The fact that women receive less pay than their male counterparts is the end of the discussion.


Here is an National Science Foundation study on engineering salaries that dispels the assertion that women make drastically less than men (for engineering positions, anyway). This study, unlike many who make such claims, takes into account the years of experience of the employee.

ha, love those stupid magazine articles. They are always dead on in identifying the exact type of girl I would never date. :p

That means for the other 40% of the time, you are in for a real treat. ;) As in... no more booty-- EVER! I can't speak for other women, but that holds true for me. If I want solutions, I will specifically ask for solutions to a problem. :D

No no, read it a bit closer. ;)

Thanks man. At least I can be rest assured that the writers at Maxim aren't morons.

Honestly, I think it's one of the crassest things I've read in a while. It enforces negative stereotypes, and is just plain wrong. I'm not really one to say, though. I stopped after

87. Your female coworkers are obsessed with the fact that on average they receive less pay than male counterparts—and the fact that they work less overtime and get pregnant is irrelevant to the discussion.

You might as well have kept going... you only had 13 more left.. :p

Yes, you definitely need to see that movie. It's great.

And I've been around, but mostly lurking. Ever since I got my avatar, I don't really feel the need to post anything really anymore. Usually either what I want to say has already been said or is in the Political Forum and would take way too much explanation and effort.

But now I'm just excited that someone on these forums recognizes me, if you know what I mean. :D

Women who get paid less are in that position because (a) <snip> (b) they DO get pregnant a lot more often than men, ... <snip>
You mean men get pregnant as well? :eek: You learn new things at macrumors everyday. :p :D
 
94. Never trust a girl who has no girlfriends. She doesn’t get along with other women because she’s either bat-**** crazy or just plain mean.

i have very few women friends because i find them to be fickle, conniving, whiney and frustrating - plus other than being a woman, i have very little in common with them. i ride dirtbikes and like to camp, i wear no makeup and don't like to yap for hours on the phone about nothiing. most of my friends are guys because i get along with them better; it's a far simpler solution to me.
<shrugs> to each his/her own ;)
