1. Hurty Brain – Hurty Brain stems from the repeated misfiring of synapses that occurs when a question is asked of a geek that is light years behind what they specialize in..
2. Geek Males need play time. Whether it’s Xbox, Warcraft, or building PC’s from parts, geek guys need time to engage in said activities. Without harassment.
3. Watch movies he likes i.e. “Buckaroo Banzai”.
4. Buying him a present? Giftcards. Giftcards. Giftcards.
5. Lastly, and perhaps the most challenging…engaging the geek male in conversation….
Thus is the central question of the film “Shall We Kiss“ (“Un baiser s’il vous plaît”). Sometimes a kiss is just not worth the risk. Many times it is.
This is a 2007 French comedy with english subtitles, so immediately I hate it. But it’s cute, in a french Woody Allen-ish sorta way. It has some of the least sexy sex scenes I’ve ever seen, including Woody Allen’s entire body of work. But I think that’s the point.
The “story within a story within a story” technique was clever but perhaps a bit tedious. There’s probably nobody in it that you’ll recognize. But the classical soundtrack was fantastic (but only if you’re into Schubert and Tchaikovsky).
Really, if you’re only going to see one French film with English subtitles this year, this is probably the one to see. It’s playing at the Enzian this weekend…I’d check the movie website to see if it’s coming anywhere near you. Shall We Kiss Website
Men and and women read and rated erotic vignettes in which they either dominated or submitted to an opposite-sex partner.
Here are samples of what the women read:
“…Your breathing quickens as you attempt to draw away, but he grasps your arm like a vice and it sends a shudder through your body. He pins you against the wall and presses his mouth firmly against yours. As your resistance fades, it becomes clear to you that this is only going one way…”
“…His breathing quickens as he attempts to draw away, but you grasp his arm like a vice…”
Among women, everyone rated domination fantasies equally, but the socially dominant women especially enjoyed fantasies of submission. This is science I can really wrap my mind around.
I’ve often thought about writing some good science studies. I have some samples of my work available to select viewers upon request.
Australian women are as keen as men to take part in consensual group sex, and they initiate it almost as often.
Almost 40 percent of respondents report an equal gender split in the group encounter, while a further 30 percent report a majority of men taking part and 30 percent a majority of women.
80 percent reporting nothing but fun, with everyone’s rights being respected.
As if I needed another reason to move to Australia.
I was just surfing on YouTube and stumbled upon this video that’s garnered over 1.5 million views. Apparently this guy, named Ben, dated a girl, Loren. Loren left Ben (we don’t know why). But we do know that Ben wasn’t happy about this so he did what any rejected guy would do…make a 7-minute-long video professing his love to Loren, literally shouting her name from mountain tops and posting it for all the world (and presumably her) to see. If I didn’t actually stumble upon it completely by accident, I’d have thought this was a big joke.
According to Ben he shot and edited the whole thing himself (which is quite an achievement)…
“Yes I did film it all myself. I’d go up and set the camera, climb back down and try to do my best, then climb back up and change the angle, and just keep going till I thought I got the shot.”
Ben’s biggest problem…Loren wants nothing to do with the guy. Apparently she’s seen the video (Ben posted it last year) and despite all of his ATV riding, gigantic tire arranging, flagpole swinging and mountain yelling…Ben’s still getting the cold shoulder.
Congratulations, Ben, you just became the creepiest ex-boyfriend ever!
Sorry dude….maybe it was your choice of music. I think you should have gone with another rock ballad. Don’t get me wrong….Bad English was a ballsy choice, but perhaps you should have gone with something a little less cheesy. But then again, something tells me “less cheesy” is just not possible with you, is it?
I might be going out on a limb here, but if the bales of hay didn’t do the trick, I think perhaps Loren has moved on…or certainly the old “red rose on the personalized love seat” shot would have sealed the deal.
