I'm man/woman enough to admit it...

Here's a new game...

If youre a dude, say something that you're "man enough to admit"...usually something pretty girly, or something you wouldn't want your guy friends to know...

If youre a girl, say something that you're "woman enough to admit"...usually something masculine that you wouldn't want your girl friends to know...

I'll start- My grandma taught me to knit when I was 12

Guilty as well.

 

I'm man enough to admit that I know my way around a kitchen in good form, the bar in excellent form and have found myself running on the treadmill and watching Rachel Ray at the gym and feeling like I should be Hank Moody angerbanging Chloe Metz. However, I am truly man enough to admit that enjoyed watching both Dirty Sexy Money and Lipstick Jungle (I 3 Lucy Liu) and was upset to see both get the axe.

as much as I'd like to think that I am/will be an independent working girl and perhaps semi-feminist.. in the span of 24 hours, I cleaned my boyfriend's entire apartment, did all the dishes, 3 loads of laundry (folded as well), and cooked dinner for him & his friends (who gulped down the meal in seconds btw).

My girlfriends will never know because they also like to think that they are semi(maybe more) feminist and will be independent from men..and will scold me for this. :(

 

I am woman enough to admit that I have no idea how to cook anything that you can't put into the microwave. Whenever I was invited to something where everyone is supposed to bring something to eat, I usually try to sign up for the salad - but even for that I had to call my mum/sister and ask how to make it. On more than one occasion I have bought a simple cake and put it in different packaging so that people would think I made it because I don't want them to know that I have never baked anything in my life.

 

The irony of this post is that everyone is actually displayin an extravaganza of emotions by sharing who they REALLY are!
I guess the markets truly are unfavorable - even bankers are suckered in!

ps. I still think Sanjaya is a homo and ruined American Idol for everyone! pps. I laughed during Titanic when mostly everyone was crying (and I am man enough to admit it!)

 
KRASHpps. I laughed during Titanic when mostly everyone was crying (and I am man enough to admit it!)

Thank god I wasn't the only one, good form sir, good form.

 

i kissed a girl and i liked it.

We're about to enter a Great Depression. Don't you want a president who's already dressed for it?

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
 

I actually hacked into another analysts laptop and sabotaged a model he was working on. I put some VBA code in the workbook that deleted 7 cells, effecting a decent percentage of the calculations, but it only ran before closing the file.

He noticed the problem, but every time he fixed it and saved the file, it was still there. He called the helpdesk and of course they were useless. Eventually, he had to pull a triple shift to reconstruct it "properly".

 

Kaush-- nice. RJNilla-- nice way of evening the playing field, since I'm sure he prob runs circles around you. I also call bullshit on that story. Despite IT's ineptitude, there is no way all these people would look at the file and not check to see if there is a macro effing it up, especially since some people still have the Macro alert on their excel.

Everyone who secretly watches the Paris Hilton BFF show... please deposit your testicles in the nearest waste receptical. Actually, even girls who watch that show are complete fucking tools.

 
iambatemanshe_monkey-- a type A finance chick with wit and cleaning/cooking skills, i dont buy it...

I dated such girl, sans cooking/cleaning but compensated with amazing sex.

Be forewarned... there is an INCREDIBLE amount of emotional baggage that comes along with this package. So much so, that it is not worth it.

Not necessarily saying this is the case for she_monkey... I'm sure she's quite a catch; especially with that MD comment, kudos for the "whatever it takes" attitude.

 

I'm man enough to admit that..

I've sat through Sex and the City, Wall-e, and Notting Hill with my girlfriend. My girlfriend is probably going to make more than me when she starts FT- she's in finance. I'm in consulting.

And, worst of all, I live in Boston.

 

Gosh where to start?

I am woman enough to admit that hair styling products were a mystery to me until a year ago.

I am woman enough to admit that I would never let anyone pump my gas for me, change a tire, or change the oil for me because I feel stupid sitting in the car even though I know how to do all three. And it's so simple.

I am woman enough to admit that sometimes I wore my boyfriends boxer briefs...and they were comfy. (washed ahead of time of course)

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********

ideatingI'm man enough to admit that I once tried to bang the female associate on the team and spectacularly failed. After about 10 seconds of drunken making out, she refused to acknowledge my existence for the next 3 months.

In hindsight, I was extremely lucky that I failed.

Care to let us in on the details?

I am a man enough to admit that I almost cried when I saw the ending of the curious case of Benjamin button.

Spoiler Alert

The moment when the lady was holding the baby in her arms and saying " Then and only then I knew that he knew who I was."

Brad Bitt should get an Oscar for his incredible performance...

Also, I am a man enough to admit that I used to listen to Miley Cyrus's "Seven Things" and I still think it's a good song.

 

I'm man enough to admit that I have been living with my girlfriend and her 2 female roommates for the past 2 months and they don't do the cooking... I DO, on like a daily basis lol...

 

I'm man enough to admit that I like watching my girlfriend's TV shows when I'm at her house (Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, The Vampire Diaries, etc.).

 

I am man enough to admit I have seen every episode of I Love New York (1 and 2, and I have a promo t shirt that I wear occasionally), and every episode of Charmed.

 

I am man enough to admit that (500) Days of Summer was my second favorite movie of 2009. (Chill out though guys, Inglorious Basterds was my number one! Fuck Yeah!)
